A ROYAL WARDROBE 1t is de rigueur as the
French say, for the newspaper chron lcrs of ROYAL
/ movements and doings, especially when the royalty
IS feminine, TO describe mnutey at least the outward
and visible equipments of the royal person the rot
the head-drcss the bonnet, the broad ribbon of the
garter, the pearl necklace, the diamond stomacher
&c. &c. Occasionally, too, il leaks out that certain
large packages and trunks borne along in the roy
al train, filled with changes Of raiment for the royal
lady and, m short, divers inmations are afforded
that the maintenance Of the royal wardrobe is mat.

petticoats Sc &c. &c.

when Anna Boleyn put to DEATH her daughter
Elizabeth was declared illegmate, and though con-
tinued under the charge Of Lady Bryan. she was no
longer treated as scion Of royalty Il may easily
be supposed, therefore, that her personal comforts

evidence Of the fact IN letter written by Lady Bry-

Elizabeth was three years old The extract is GU

an uGLY PICTuRE-

We were surprised to see in the Baltimore
Patriot Of yesterday an ugly cut representing a
coon Growing over PROSTATE cock. We had
thought that the aversion long since expressed
to repetition Of the extravagant follies Of 1910,
(indulged in by too many,) would have prevail
ed on all parties to carry to the polls nothing
but simple ballots-and on all the publishers, in
making up the returns, to use nothing but the
names of the candidates, and the plain figures
necessary to express the result.

TEMPERANCE-MR. DRAYTON.

Ms. JONES was at the Temperance meeting in
Caruss Saloon on Friday evening last, and was, in
common with very large and highly respectable au-
ditory, much gratied and instructed by the addresses
delivered on the occasion by the Rev. Mr.. BULFNcH
and HENRY J. DRAYToN, Esq Mr. Bulfnch, as a
chastc, forcibe, elegant and popular declaimer, is
already well known to the public. His address on
this occasion of the best, most appropriate
and convincing that ever listened TO, and have
heard addresses all popular topics in all sections
of the country. Mr.. Drayton is young man, at
present clerk in the Navy Department but | I'M
derstand he is reading law preparatory to his enter
ing, by and by, upon the duties of the learned pro-
fession He has fine manly figure and full,
deep-toned, and at the time musical voice.
What with these accomplishments, and the fund of
wit and tact which know he possesses, and the
hard study which his ambition will cause him to I'M
dergo, cannot doubt his future a lawyer.
His address on Friday evening, though rather too
long for the occasion, was well conceived, and con-
tanned many srikingly beautiful thoughts 1t was
warmly received by the audience AS "a friend of
the glorious cause of Temperance, thank Mr.. Dray-
ton for his effort and his example. May many Of the
young clerks in the Departments follow that example.

Some time ago letter Of invitation, signed
by upwards Of six hundred citizens Of Cincin-
natl and Hamilton County, was addressed to
President Tyler, requesting him % visit the
city, so that our citizens might have an oppor-
tuniy of paying their respects to the Chief Ma
gistraie Of the Union, and interchanging OPT
Mons with him. II Will be seen by The Pfesi-
dents answer, which we publish below, that he
was unable 10 comply with the wishes Of those
who addressed him.
Whatever difference Of opinion may exist in
the minds Of men, as 10 the Administration of
President Tyler, we are sure that the patriotic
sentiments containedin his letter will be appre-
ciated by all true lovers of the country; and
that they will be responded TO by all honest men
of all parties. We ask from our fellow-citzens
a candid perusa of the Presidents letter. The
elevated station Of the writer entities him to the
respectful attention Of the public. The more
elevated sentiments 'Vhieh-he expresses, should
disarm opposition TO him personally, of the
ferceness which has characterized it of late
-Four ourselves, we desire to see justice done
him, and with that he will be satisfied
