A GOOD LOOK AT THE QUEEN.
How England's Ruler A poears ad
Aoxr She is Guarded.
h'lntn the Kew York Situ.
T got a good lock at the Queen recently,
and that is quite a rare thing for stratgers.
Her majesty seldom occupies Buckhgham
Palace, her Loudon residence, aul only
comes into town on occasions of ce’emony.
Even during the jubilee eeremoiies last
summer she preferred to renminat Wind
sor and run into London by rail whenever
her presence was necessary there rather
than sleep at Buckingham. I have made
many inquiries of people who ought to
c o 'T’ )u *' nobod y seems able to tell whv
she does not like the place. 7he nearest t
can get at it is that there are sane sorrowful
associations connected with (he grand old
mansion, which the Duke of Buckingham
erected a hundred years ago aid sold to her
grandfather.
When she comes to London by train she
uses half a dozen special rain fitted up fo •
her exclusive use, which are always kept in
readiness at Slough statioi, a couple of
miles from Windsor. Or if she is at Os
borne Castle, on the Isle P Wight, where
she spends two-thirds of htr time, she goes
across the bay to Portsmoith on the royal
yacht and then takes the <ars. It isn’t often
she travels, and the railwty and police offi
cials are very glad of it. The track has to
be patroled, the royal train must have the
right of way, all stations must be closed
until after she has passed, and at the Lon
don end of the line business is actually sus
jiended for a time till he majesty has been
taken care of.
When she intends to cake a trip the pri
vate secretary to her majesty or the Grand
Chamberlain notifies the railroad officials
and the police authorities of London. The
former prepare the royal train, and the lat
ter bring out about half their force to escort
her. A party of detectives go to Windsor
and come up on the train. They have a car
to themselves and ro well taken care of;
but it isn’t a very pleasant duty. When
she enters the ears cr leaves them they sur
round her person and remain by her side
till she is in the state carriage and protected
by her body guard of horsemen. The
Queen’s Guards arepieked men. the finest
in the army, and *is considered a promo
tion to be transfetred to that regiment.
They are selected for their stature and
soldierly accomplishments, their horseman
ship, and general intelligence, and they are
paid and treated better than any other
branch of the service. Their uniform is a
bright scarlet, they ride immense black
chargers, and carry sabres and carbines.
Whenever the Queen is out of doors a de
tachment of them surround her carriage
and ride so as tc protect her with their
bodies.
The route of the Queen from the station
to Buckingham Palace lies through Hyde
Park and the famous Rotten Row, and it
was there I saw her as she passed. Through
the kindness of Mr. Littleehild, the chief of
detectives at Great Scotland Yard, who
has charge of the precautionary meas
ures, 1 was informed as to the exact route
her majesty would take and the ‘exact time
she would pass a certain point on Rotten
Rowq so I got a tally-ho coach and riding
out there took my station by the roadside
and waited for her to come. If I had been
in an ordinary carriage I could not have
seen her because of the horsemen who sur
rounded her, but from the top of the coach
I could look flown over their heads.
There was a line of patrolmen, from Pad
dington station to Buckingham Palace, a
distance of a mile or more, so near to each
other that they could easily converse, and
every one of them had his 'eyes and ears
open, which showed the value of a pass
from Mr. Littleehild. They asked no ques
tions, but simply passed the word along
that we were a party of Americans with a
card from the chief.
After waiting a quarter of an hour or
more, for my party was prompt, as her
majesty was also to the exact minute, I saw
a group of brilliant red-coated horsemen
coming down the bread shaded avenue,,
galloping like mad. It was a brilliant spec
tacle, like a cavalry charge, for they had
their sabres drawn and at their shoulders.
At their head rode one of the masters of her
majesty’s horse, or a groom in waiting, I
don’t know which, but it makes no differ
ence, riding alone at a trot, although the
rest of the horsemen galloped. He was in
red also, wore lots of gold lace and a black
cocked hat, and looked as if be realized his
importance. Then came four mounted car
bineers abreast with their guns on their
hips and their hands on their triggers,ready
for any emergency. Then forty or more of
the handsome guards, sitting' their black
steeds like centaurs, and their silver trap
pings jingling like music.
In tne midst of them was the state car
riage, a most gorgeous affair of yellow and
black, with a crest on the door as large as a
washtub—the royal arms. It was drawn by
four large horses, each ridden by a groom
wearing the royal livery of scarlet coats,
white breeches, high hats with gold bands,
and a broad strip of black crepe around the
left arm, the symbol of mourning that has
never been taken off since Prince Albert
died, and never will be as long as Victoria
lives. Upon the high seat in front, where
the coachman shr-xld have beep, sat two
footmen in bland with white silk knee
breeches and powdered hair, and uponacor
responding seat over the hind wheels were
two brawny Sootchmen, gillies, in the High
land costume, with their big sabres at their
shoulders. Her majesty never goes any
where without these two men. When she
sits upon the throne they are behind her;
when she walks in the park they are always
within call. This was the duty the famous
John Brown performed; and he did good
service in having twice saved Victoria’s life.
One of the men I saw served with Brown,
ud the other was selected for his place
when he died.
On the back seat of the carriage sat bolt
upright a fat little woman, with a very red
lace, almost as broad as tall, clad in black
silk and a small old-fashioned black bonnet
with a widow’s veil thrown over her shoul
ders. She didn't look much like an Em
press, and the ladies of my party insisted
that she resembled a washerwoman: but
she bowed graciously to us as we lifted our
hats, and doubtless recognized us as Ameri
cans, as all others do.
There were three young Indies in the
carriage with her, dressed in white muslin,
and looking very prim. They were
her granddaughters, the daughters of
“Fritz,” the Crown Prince of Prussia,
and the Prince of Wales, rather plain
girls, as all the royal children are. As they
passed me they exchanged some remarks
with the Queen, which I would have given
a world to have overheard, for they were
evidently about the ladies of my party, as
pretty a group of American girls as ever
decorated the t p of n tally-ho coach. It
was but an instant, and the royal party was
out of sight, followed \>y a couple of car
riages containing Prince Battenburg, the
husband of Beatrice, and several other
gentlemen and ladies.
Not long ago. when the Queen was
coming front Osborne, the detectives
noticed a stranger in the car with
them. Ho was well dressed and appeared
like a gentleman. He said little, offered
a well-filled cigar case, and seemed to
be familiar with the names of the persons
in the party. They took him to be some
attache of the household, and asked no
? notions, till, on the arrival of the train at
.ondon, Col. Ponsonbv, the Queen's Secre
tary, was asked who he was. The latter,
Who had taken him to Vie a detective, ex
pressed surprise when told that he was not,
and the man wus arrested. When taken to
Great Scotland Yard it was disclosed that he
was a young gentleman from lamilon, who
had made a bet with some friends at his
club that he would come from Portsmouth
on her majesty’s train without detection.
He was released when his identity was
hod, with a warning not to attempt
the “rick again, but it was a lesson that
t**bt greater vigilance.
The Prince of Wales has two detectives,
who accompany him wherever he goes, and
he leads them a jolly race. They lodge at
Marlborough House, bis official residence,
and uiAlways on duty. Whenever the
I t ince leaves the gates they go after him.
keeping as close at his heels as ts possible,
anil when he stops they stop too. They are
.dressed like gentlemen, and are well 'paid
for their services, but seldon get a holiday.
The Prince is fond of them, but it is not a
job that is coveted by men of their profes
sion. When he attends the thoatre they
always sit in the rear of the royal box;
when he goes to the races they are ever at
his side, and when he is out in his carriage
they follow him in another. If he is on foot
they walk behind him.
1 had a talk with the Prince’s physician,
who is also his friend, the other day, and ho
corrected an impression I had that Albert
Edward would like tosuccei'd to the throne.
The doctor says he would not—that he
would not want the Queen to abdicate in
his favor under any circumstances. He has
no love of power, but is fond of leisure,
shirks responsibility, has no politics, is
friendly with the men who are most bitter
against the throne, and pats every one on
the bock for a good fellow.
The Queen has never been partial to the
Prince of Wales. The late Duke of Albany
was the favorite among her sons, and Wales
has been in disfavor always. There is a pop
ular impression that she might have abdi
cated the throne on the fiftieth
anniversary of her reign but for
her lack of confidence in and respect
for her eldest son, and it is said that
she likes his wife, the Princess, no better,
although the latter is the most popular anil
the most beloved of all the royal family.
At one of the theatres where a comic
opera is running a performer sings a topical
song that invariably brings down the bouse.
Although the Prince is a habitual attendant
at the places of amusement, the Queen sel
dom goes, and the only performance of any
kind that she has attended lor years have
been the French Circus and Buffalo Bill’s
Wild West Show. The lingo reproaches
the Queen for only attending foreign amuse
ments, and ends:
We wish Irvine could rank
With a war-painted Yank,
And she'd give English actors a show.
OLD TIMES IN ILLINOIS.
A Story of Gov. Bibb and T. A. Cor
win.
From the Chicago Mail.
Many years ago Ohio had a Governor of
the name of Bibb. At the expiration of his
term he concluded to leave the State. He
bought a farm in Winnebago county, Illi
nois, and not many miles from Rockford.
One of his family was a daughter, and a
young man loved her and married her. The
people where the wedding occurred believed
m extending their congratulations in their
own way, and this way was the charivari
party. Gov. Bibb and his wife objected to
the Illinois charivari party. He sent a mes
sage to the leaders that they must desist,
and if they attempted to carry out their plan,
somebody would get hurt. In the midst
of what the Winnebago tribe considered
fun, the old man who had had to deal with
an Ohio Legislature got his gun. Ho took
it front its place over the doorway, walked
out in the darkness, and tired. Two of the
men in the party—estimable citizens who
liked a bit of fun—fell wounded, and Gov.
Bibb was arrested and taken to jail.
Before the meeting of the grand jury
which indicted the ex-Governor of Ohio, a
man rode into Rockford one evening and
tied his horse to a post. He walked over to
the tavern, talked to the landlord a few
minutes, went to his room ami to bed. The
landlord walked out and put the guest’s
horse in the stable. The next morning the
guest called for his horse, was gone all day
and came in at night. The appearance of
a stranger in a place like Rockford at that
time was an event, and as this one rode out
every day and came back, for nearly two
weeks, people plied the landlord with ques
tions, but he knew nothing—net even his
guest’s name.
The day came for the trial of Gov Bibb,
indicted for murder. The character of the
men murdered and of the man who was in
dicted for the crime crowded the little capi
tal of Winnebago county, and the court
house was jammed. Gov. Bibb was brought
in by the Sheriff. The court asked him if
he had a lawyer. He replied in a most dig
nified way that, he bad not. The Judge
asked: “Is there no one to defend the old
mani” The prisoner was standing like a
white pillar in the midst of the people pres
ent. He was silent and had the stateliness
of an Indian brave. There was another
man in tho audience who quickly attracted
their attention. He was, like them, a
pioneer in manner and dress, but the years
had not yet made any inroads upon his faco.
He had not the acquaintance of tailor or
barber. He was slovenly attired. He
walked inside the bar, threw his old slouch
hat upon the table, and, straightening him
self to his fullest measure, he said: “Your
honor. I’ll defend the old man.”
“Who are you! Where do you come
from?’ r asked the court.
“In the country that I hail from, your
honor,” replied the stranger, whose words
were clear cut, “they call me Tom Corwin.”
He was the stranger who had ridden into
town, and who lmd excited the wonder of
the community. He had traveled all the
way from Ohio on horseback. He had vis
ited nearly every house in Winnebago coun
ty, felt the pulse of the people, learned,
that all that they asked for was justice, and
presented himself us counsel for the pris
oner. When he told the Judge who he was
ahd what he was there for, he did it in a
manner which crowded the li: tie town there
after during the trial. lam told that when
he addressed the jury the doors were taken
from the hinges of the court house and the
sash from the windows, so that the people
withoutcould catch the matchless eloquence
of the man who hailed from Ohio.
Gov. Bibb was acquitted, and in the scene
that followed he said: “All I have is mv
farm; take it, and when I am able I will
pay you more.”
Corwin replied; “Why, I am still in your
debt. You took me from the towpath in
Ohio and gave me my first opportunity.
And when I heard you were in trouble I
rode out here to help you.”
One morning the old gray horse which
had brought the stranger to Rockford was
brought around to the front door of the tav
ern. The landlord brought out a pair of
saddle bags and put them over the saddle.
The street was crowded with people from
the town and the country. The lawyer who
had defended Gov. Bibb came out. mounted,
wheeled his hoi-se and rode away. The land
lord watched as the horse and rider disap
peared in tho distance. He lived to tell the
story many a day, and always finished it
with the remark: “He was the easiest
suited man. and tho funniest man, and took
the least kiver to keep him warm that, ever
stopped at the tavern.”
FROM CHIN TO BREASI'.
Death Averted by the Use of Prickly
Ash, Poke Root, Potassium.
T had a negro working on niy place
who had a very ugly sore on his neck,
ex‘ending from the chin to the breast
hi.jc. It was eating away rapidly, and
was supposed to be a cancer, lie had
gotten to such a state that he was not
nlile to work, and could only swallow
milk or soup. At this stage 1 decided to

wonderful. The sore began to heal at

strength and flesh, till finally the entire
mass of impure flesh came out, and the
place filled tip and scabbed over. This
scab finally shed off anti left a smooth
scar where once a most ttltliy eating
