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 try Ih\ Whitehead's Blood Purifier on hint - Prickly Ash: Poke Root and Potas sium P. P. P. The. effect was perfectly wonderful. The sore began to heal at once, and the man dally gained in 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 sore bad been. The man Is now work ing in the wood#as a regular hand, and is in perfect health. D. F. MoDUFFY.
