Queen Victoria at Home. One of the greatest charms of Hex Majesty hns always been her voice. To the initiated the voice is always the clearest and most unfailing index ol character. In contemporary literature we have repeated notes of admiration for this pure and peerless voice. "Lady de Dustanville was in the House of Peers when the Queen first appeared. It was a most imposing sight. Her voice -was full, clear and sweet, and most distinctly heard." Passages of this kind might be multiplied. Miss Fox gives some very pleasing incidents of the early days. " Uncle Charles dined "with us. He was delighted and dazzled by the display on the Queen's day, and mentioned a right merry quibble, perpetrated by mj Lord Albemarle, who, on Her Majesty saying, ' I wonder if my good people of London are as glad to see me as I am to see them?' pointed out as their immediate cockney answer to the quibble V. R." She relates the touching incident that when the Queen drove one day to the Park, just after a dastardly attempt, in fear of assassination she " forbade her ladies to attend her and expose themselves to danger from which she would not shrink. " Stockmar came over nearly every year to visit the Queen and the Prince, and almost entirely took the management of the whole mennge into his hands. He put all the details of the management of the royal household on a sort of philosophical basis. He passed at will from the broadest generalizations on the British Constitution to the smallest details of the nursery; The organization and superintendence of the children's department occupied a considerable portion of Stockmar's time. In one of his letters he writes: "The nursery gives me more trouble than the government of o kingdom would do." We may mention that the little Princess (the Crown Princess of Prussia), now a woman blooming with health and life, was for many years a sickly child, whose rearing long seemed a matter of doubt. He found that an odious system of pervaded the management of the royal household. It was in the hands of three great State officers the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain and the Master of the Horse. These are always noblemen of high rank and great political position, who, of course, delegate all the practical duties into the hands of subordinates. The result was that all the tricks of the Circumlocution Office were to be found in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. There was a great deal of the how-not-do-it element. The outside of the palace belonged to the department of Woods and Forests; the inside cleaning of the windows belonged to the Lord Chamberlain's department. The Lord Stewart lays the tiro and the Lord Chamberlain lights it, The Lord Chamberlain provides the lamps, and the Lord Steward must clean, trim and light them. If a window-pane was broken or a cupboard door went wrong, there was a whole series of formalities to be gone through before either could be mended. Stack-mar complains that there was no one to receive visitors, and show them their rooms; and that they wandered about tlie corridors alone and unassisted. M. Quizot relates that this was a circumstance whiohonce actually happened to himself. It was through this state of things that the boy Jones was enabled at one o'clock in the morning actually to hide himself under the sofa of the room next the Queen's bed-room, just after the birth of the Princess Royal. Once when the Qnean. was taken ill there was nobody whose businees it wu to attend to such matter, until atlait a domeetio had the presence of mind'to hail a cab to com to the door ol Buckingham Palace andtto drive off and fetch a doctor.

She Wanted Comedy. Three months ago when a new servant girl came to a Bush street family the mistress said she desired to post the girl in advance on one certain little point. She and her husband belonged to an amateur theatrical company, and in case Jane heard any racket arouud the house sho must not imagine that they were quarreling. They would simply be rehearsing their parts. The "play" began on the third evening of the girl's engagement. The husband taitnted his wife with extravagance, and she said he played poker for money, and chairs were upset and foot-stools kicked around, and threats were made of gong home to mother. Next morning sho mistress said to the girl : "Did you hear us playing our parts in the 4 Wronged Wife' last night ?" "Yes'm." " It was simply a rehearsal, you know, and you mustn't think strange of my throwing a vase at my husband and calling him a vile wretch." Three or four nights after that the curtain went up on a play called " The Jealous Husband," and Jane heard sobs, sighs, protestations, threats and exclamations. The next play was entitled " Coming Home Tight," and was mostly played in the front hall. Then followed " The Depths of Despair," "Threats of Divorce" and "Such a Wretch," until Jane was at last tired of having a private box and being the only audience. The other morning she appeared in the sitting room with her hat on and her bundle under her arm, and said: "Please, ma'am, but I'm going this morning." ' "What, going away?" "Yeu'm." "For what reason ?" "Please, ma'am, but I'm tired-'of tragedy. I'm a girl as naturally likes to see hugging and kissing and love making on the stage, and when Marka the lawyer, comes in on the what-do-you-call-it I'm sure 111 be tickled to death; I think 111 try some family where they rehearse comedy and have a good' deal of Idssing, and perhaps I may come in as a supe and get a small share of it for myself Detroit Free Prw.

anomalies which"" IStocThnar pointed out in his memcrandum have been rectified. The royal household is now a model to every household in the kingdom. Its guests are made as comfortable as in the most homelike homo in the land. Indeed, in the pleasantness and freedom of the arrangement, Windsor Castle seems almost Liberty Hall to its visitors. London Society. The Englishman as an Introducer. His name was Oscar; and when a gentleman introduced us to him, we misunderstood him, and said, " Glad to see you, Mr. Hoscar." The fellow got boiling mad, and was about to assume the offensive, yelling out at the top of his voice, " My name isn't Hos-car, sir, and' I want you to know it 1" when his introducing friend restored amicable relations by the following explanation : " 'Old hon, my good friend ; Mr. Dittoe has no intention of dubbing you an 'orse car. He hevidently misunderstood me on hintroducing him to you;" And then the same party explained to us, as to-wit: "Mr. Dittoe, this gentleman's name is not 'orse car, as you have said but Hoscar." We replied, "Hoscar is just what I called him." "Yes," returned he; "but 'is name isn't 'oss car, but Hoscar. "Sou see we Henglish 'ave a different way of pronouncing the letter ho from what you 'ave, but hit's all the same in meaning, you know. Let's step in 'ere and get some 'alf and 'alf. Come m, Mr. Hoscar." Kentucky State Journal.
