TUX QL-EEN AT THE FURICA PAss.—The
of Berne publishes the following communication from
Swim traveller visiting the Furka:—Last Friday even:r.2,-,
about half-past 7, tired and hungry, I approadied to
hotel situated on the Furka Per to get shelter for t,..
night. A heavy fog covered the whole neighboarly,o 1.
and the weather began to grow sensibly colder. Iha I
travelled that day from Hach ice Hof, over On Grimv,i
and the ice mountains of the Rhone, and it rote
easily be imagined that I hastened with a lonxi,.;
desire to reach the hotel. A waiter, who stood at :
threshold, cried out to me, whilst at some distance, •• Y
cannot come in here, the Queen of England has en.r",,sl
the house for three days." I could scarcely truss my ear:
at first. ••Was it possible," I at last asked, the; tho
Queen could have engaged the only house on the steam'
of the pass fur herseli "It is nevertheless true." :•
plied the man, " and you must look out for other guar,
for the night." I begged him, as the Queen had eog.ti
all the bedrooms, to allow me to sleep in the saloon o.
even on the Boor. "I am sorry," he said, "but nobody
lis allowed to come in here." asked him then if the
Queen with her suite had already arrived. be replied, " No.
but there is no doubt that she will be here to-morrow.'
About this time almost a doyen travellers, one of wh
was a lady, had arrived and looked all very eagerly

JOSEPH NOT A CA.RPENTKR.---when the British

paintings at Charlton house, attention being called to the
picture of Joseph working as a carpenter, maiated by the
child Jesus, Mr. Black said he wished that .heeph had
been represented in his proper business as a mud,. the
original trim used siifying arnhiteet, builder, or mason.
and not carpenter. The term carpenter. he W.Va. was
undoubtedly an error, as in the climes where Joseph
dwelt no wood was used in the erection of the stractures
of their houses, but stone only.—Serrey Staitiord.
