MARIE ANTOINETTE put aside all regal authority
at• Trianon. Here .she was no longer queen, but merely
mistress of the establishment, which was like an ordinary
country house, with its small retinue of servants, and all
its unrestrained habits. When the queen entered the
salon the ladies neither quitted the piano nor their embroi-
dery frames, nor the men their game at billairds or back-
gammon. The king would come to Trianon on foot and
unattended. The queen's guests arrived at two o'clock to
dinner, and returned to Versailles at midnight. Marie
Antoinette's occupations were exclusively those of a country
life. Attired in a white muslin dress, in a lace shawl, and
a straw hat, she would run about the garden, or visit her
farm, where she would. take her guests to drink her milk
and eat her new-laid eggs. Or she would conduct the
king to a summer-house where he could read his book un-
disturbed until she summoned hint to a lunch on the grass;
after which she would amuse herself by watching the milk-
ing of her cows, or with fishing on the lake ; or, seated on
a rustic seat, would occupy herself by winding up the dis-
taff of some young villager.—Once a Week.
A MAN GORED TO DEATH BY A
,COW.—On
Tuesday, a man named Edward Plummer wont to a vil-
lage a short distance from Bitchfield, to see a cow which
had lately calved. lle passed into a field, and a dog that
had followed him ran at the cow. Being infuriated, the
animal attacked the man with great violence, pushing its
horns into his side near his heart. He was conveyed to
Bitchfield, and died on Wednesday.
THE CIGAR Snir.—The Ross N. Winans, double
screw yacht, arrived and anchored on the Motherbank, off
Ryde, Isle of Wight, on Wednesday evening, from the east-
ward. Yesterday, at noon, she weighed her anchor, and
took a couple of hours' steaming outside the nab lightship,
afterwards returning to and again anchoring on the Mother-
bank. During the time the Ross N. Winans was under
steam off the Nab the wind was rather fresk from E.S.E.,
and there was a slight tumble of a sea on. She appeared
to raOsle with grimt speed threu4h the water.
