THE QUEEN AND TIIE REFORM CLUB.
On the occasion of the Queen's visit to the Workmen's
International 14;xhibition, itis stated that a veryhandsome
chair designed by Mr. Lucraft, the well-known member of
of the Reform League, was particularly admired by her Ma-
jesty, and Mr.Lucraft had the honourof personally pointing
out the peculiarities of its construction. When it is
remembered that this chair is by no means designed as a
substitute for the throne, but simply as a convenvient
article of furniture intended to serve the purposes of re-
pose, no anxiety will be felt by the most extreme Liberal
or Conservative on account of this interview between
our Sovereign and Mr. Lucraft—for the moment
all political feeling was dropped, and royalty
and the Reform League met on neutral ground. At the
same time it must have been tempting for her Majesty to
explain to Mr. Lucraft the peculiarities of the construc-
tion of the throne which she occupies, and to point
out to him that it would be difficult for the
Reform League, or any other league, to design
a more comfortable or secure seat for royalty
than that which she now sits upon—it is very difficult, if
not impossible, to upset it, and no changes in the council
table in any way affect it. If Mr. Lucraft's new arm-
chair possesses half as many merits it is well worthy of
admiration, and might perhaps suit Mr. Odger, who
seems very anxious to find a seat.—Pall Mall Gazette.

i'llff-WORKING MEN'S INTERNATIONAL

EXHIBITION.

A working men's exhibition, at any rate on anything
like this scale, is redolent of novel and advanced ideas, and
one is puzzled how the capital resources it demands are
to be got at. This problem, however, seems to have
been very satisfactorily solved. Many of the smallest
exhibits are the property of the producers, and are sent in
their own names. But beyond these large collections, both
foreign and English,are exhibited by master manufacturers,
but in every case the names of the workmen who designed
and executed the exhibits are given. The area whence
the collections are gathered does not at present seem so
large as one might have expected. The vast majority of
the articles shewn are of course English. Italy, how-
ever, holds a very prominent place from the extent and
variety of her collection, but more especially in the edu-
cated taste that shines through all her productions ; a con-
siderable collection comes from Holland and France ; Den-
mark, Austria, Hungary, Prussia, and Belgium are repre-
sented ; and then, as far as Monday's evidence went, we have
exhausted the nationalities that have put in an appearance,
or claimed space. The English section is, of course, strong
in mechanical exhibits, many to be shewn in motion, ex-
tensive shafting being in preparation, to be driven by two
of Kinsey's well-known and useful eight-horse power tank
engines. Here we saw very ingenious boot-making
apparatus by C. Spruce, Bray, and Neilson, J. W. Ellis,
and others ; needle-making machines by Hayes and
Crossley ; a series of sewing machines and their accesso-
ries, by the workmen of Taylor's Sewing Machine Com-
pany ; a portable bench forge by G. Downing ; an ingenious
sash-making machine by John Rendwick ; iron model
of combined circular saw by F. Gower ; numer-
ous specimens of • the wrought ironwork, quite
rivalling the fertility of adaptation and delicacy of finish
long thought peculiar to mediaeval days ; and a fine
mahogany sideboard, by the Co-operative Cabinet Manu-
facturing Company, Hackney-road ; decorated screens ;
pianos with highly carved cases ; statuary from works of
classic pretension to those of broad grotesque ; carving in
vast variety of architectural, ecclesiastical, domestic, and
personal uses, from the size of a castle-gate to that of a
cherrystone, and by men of all callings—labourers, gar-
deners, joiners, hairdressers, &c. ; furniture with
decorations of every hue, including a beautiful
and sumptuous chair, designed by Mr. Lucfaft, of
political celebrity. Reading Brothers exhibit fine speci-
mens of silver and electro work, and Mappin and Webb,
plate and cutlery. Then there is cooking apparatus,
beautiful glass from Birmingham, fine China and enamels
.from Worcester; an ingenious alarum by a letter carrier,
which he christens the Early riser's friend," that rings
a bell, fires a pistol, lights a lamp, and boils a cup of
coffee. There is turning in every variety of wood and
metal, a vast collection of ingenious models, besides
a wilderness of things we cannot even name, from which,
however, stands out prominently a fine reflecting tele-
scope, designed and manufactured by Mr. T. W. Bush, a
baker and grocer living in one of the most humble parts
of Nottingham. The instrument has specula of about
13in. in diameter, the casting, grinding and polishing of
which were done by the maker, who also made his own
tools. The whole has stood severe tests as to accuracy
and practical usefulness, and the instrument attracted the
particular attention of her Majesty. The Italian collec-
tion is very large and varied. Its most prominent feature is
cabinet work in costly marbles and mosaics, from Rome and
Florence, with fine specimens of majolica and porcelain
ware, inlaid woods from Milan, marble work from Pisa,
baskets made by the women of Isochia, Tuscan straw
work of the most extraordinary. fineness, statues, cameos,
cutlery, domestic machines, ironmongery, terracotta
architectural work, ecclesiastical mosaics, carving,
jewellery, musical instruments, and a host of subsidiary
articles, with a large collection of oil paintings. • From
Holland are philosophical instruments, engraving, book-
binding, manufactures from the schools for sons of work-
men at Amsterdam, with cases of manufacture of hats, &c.
A large organ has been erected at the end of the building, with
a very capacious orchestra. Statuary and paintings are
distributed in picturesque profusion. Refreshment buf-
fets are constructing, deoorations of all kinds are springing
up ; the great hall will evidently furnish a most striking
spectacle—an agreeable lounge for the idler, and a more
important and varied study for those who are more
seriously interested in the fortresses of industry and the
well-being of the working world. —The Engineer.

DR. MILLER AND THE REVISION OF THE
SCRIPTURES.

The Rev. Dr. Miller writes to the Pall Mall Gazette to
correct an erroneous impression as to the course he took
at the board of the Society for Promoting Christian Know-
ledge in reference to the proposed grant in aid of the
revision of the Bible. He says :—" Being a warm advo-
cate of the proposed revision, I moved the grant in the
name of the standing committee, and supported it to
the best of my ability. But I could not conscien-
tiously withhold my strong protest against the
admission of one who denies the Deity of the Redeemer to
the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on the occasion re-
ferred to. To that protest I still adhere. But, as this
Communion was but an incident, however grave,
and not necessarily connected with the general ques-
tion, my argument to the board was that the grant should
be made notwithstanding. I therefore earnestly com-
mended my motion to the acceptance of the board.
I could not shut my eyes to the fact that I was charge-
able with bad policy and unskilfulness as an advocate in
broaching the topic, or rather in following up the intro-
duction of it by the Rev. W. West; but the occasion
seemed to me too solemn to allow weight to such a con-
sideration, and I was anxious to clear those who sup-
ported the grant, on its general merits, from the charge
of complicity with the approval of the incident."
