LADY OFFICE HoLDERs.-An English pa
per gives tbe following item IN relation %
the ladies of the royal household ot the
Queen Of England.
The Mistress Of the Robes is an othce u
great importance and one Of the best IN the
gift Of ministry. The duties distinguish
tie holder above all others for instance,
that Of riding in the royal carriage on all
State occasions, and robing the Queen at
the ceremonialS If Importance though the
actual manipulation connected with the du-
ties Of Mistress Of the Robes is usally per
formed by attendants on the person 81 tie
Sovereign Groom OF the Stole was rather
curious office 10 attach to that Of Mistress
Of the Robes but perhaps, requisite when
a female was on the throne. The Stole j.
narrow vest formerly embroidered with
roses, heur-de-lis, and crowns, and lined
with sarsenet. Sarah, Duchess Of Marlb0-
rough, held both Of these Offices IN the reign
Of Queen Anne, and So did the Duchess ~
Somerset The salary was then EoOO, and
il now $500 per annum. The Ladies q
the Bedchamber-the duties are connected
with all things appertaining 70 the Royal
sleeping and dressing apartments, oi winch
they have the complete superintendent
aud control, a. we'll also of the apparel II
the Queen. The Bedchamber Women are
seven in number, and their salaries and du-
ties are similar 70 the Ladies Of the Bed
chamber In the correspondence Of Henri
eta, Countess Of Suffolk, there are some
singular illustrations If this Office. Maids
Of Honor are Of ancient date, and of consid-
erable importance They were always paid
and well cared for BY royalty. The Chron
cles Of the reign Of Henry VIII, give ~
merous examples Of this fact An order for
the provision Of one Of the Ladies Of Honor
to Catherine, is very minute and, among
other things, provides her with gallon of
ale for breakfast, and chine Of beet;
piece Of beef and gallon Of beer for din
ner. In the afternoon, gallon Of ale and
maniple Of bread; and for supper mess oi
porridge, piece ofmutton. and gallon q

Eirst Esnfc Liauor.

Joe was fond of good liquor, or indeed
liquor of any kind; and being generally
short Of funds, and credit too, was in the
habit of seizing on all remnants of liquor
left by practitioners at the bar.
Thus matters progressad for some ten
years, keeping Joe pretty well soaked
when Mr. IL, having occasion to make n
mixture for curing diseased hoof had
need of some nitric acid, or aqualorts,
that article being one of the ingredients
OF the lotion.
Taking q common bar tumbler, and
pouring sufficient quantity of acid into
1t, he went out, leaving the tunbler on
tho counter, and traveller the sole oc-
cupant OF the bar room. lie had no SOON
cr passed the door than in came Joe,
and seeing, as he thought, tumbler, as
usual with little liquor too good to be
wasted, Immediately looked through the
bottom, cas- was the usual CUSTOM" aud
quickly threw himself outside Of said
liquor. He then went to his wood chop.
ping, smacking his lips at the unusual
strength of the liquor. Shortly after, Mr..
Is. coming in, picked up the tumbler to
go on with his medicinal preparation, but
was very much surprised on finding il
empty. lnquirng of the traveller, he was
informed that short chunky man, (des-
cribing Joe,) had drank it. With an ex-
clamaton OF surprise, and CONSERVATION
depicted on his countcnance, lie rushed
out of the room in search of Joe, expect.
ing to find his dead body not many yards
off. lie passed around the house, and
found Joe doing extra execution upon the
back logs, working as he generally did
when he had on an extra amonnt of steam.
After getting over his astonishmcnt, the
following colloquy ensued:
81 oe, did you drink that stuff on the
counter"

Ispnso,rs WHY.

What is the cause Of the Aurora rorcals
Ans The mingling of electicitcs of the higher
rogiors Of the atmosphere
Why does grey sunrise forctell dry day 2
Because II shows that the vapors in the air are not
very dense.
Why is "a rainbow in the morning the shepherds

Because Il shows that in the west or wet quarter,
the mir is saturated to tho rain point
Why is "a rainbow az night the shepherds de-
light %
Because il shows that tho rain is falling in the east
and as that rs dry quarter, il will soon be over
Rinbows ere always seen in opposition TO the sun.
Why doc a red sunset f1roteli fuc weather.
Because the rodness shows that the vapors in the
air towards the west or wet quarters, light is
evidenced by the degree Of rcfrUction Of the suns
rays
Why does red sunrise fortcll wet 2
Because il shows that towards the east. or dry
quarter the air is charged with ynppr an therefore
probably at other points the air has reached satur-
tion.
Are iron houses dangerous during an electric
storm
No; they are rery safe because their entire sur
face is good conductor AMI would convey the cleo
tricty harmlessly TO tho earth
Why, when swallows fly low, may wet weather be

Because tho insects which the swallows pursue in

UNDER TIE ICE.

Under the lee the waters run.
Under the Ice our spirits lie;
The genial glow Of the summer sun
Shall loosen their fetters Ly and by,
Moan AMI groan in thy prison cold,
River Of lite--river OF love;
The winter is growing worn and old,
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice, under the snow,
Our lives are bound in a crystal ring;
By and by will the south winds blow,
Andrcses bloom on the banks Of spring.
Noun and gronn in thy fettcrs strong,
River OF life-river Of love;
. The nights grow short, the days grow long,
Weaker and weaker tho bonds Of wrong
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice our souls are hid,
Under the ice our good deeds grow;
Men but credit the wrong wc did,
Never the motive that lay below.
Moan and grown IN thy prison cold,
River Of ltfe-riyer of love;
The winter Of lifo is growing old,
Tho frost IL leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines warm above.
Under the ice we hide our wrong
Unlcr the ice that has thrilled us through
Oh Tint the friends who have known us long
Dare to doubt we are good and true
Nom and croan, in thy prison cold,
River of life--riyer of love;
Winter Is growing worn and old,
Roses stir IN the melting mold,
We shall bc known above

Eg- The crown worn by the Queen
at the opening Of Parliament is composed
of hoops of silver, which are completely
covered and concealed by precious stones,
having a Maltese cross Of diamonds OH
the top of it. In the centre of the cross
is magnificent sapphire. In front of
the crown, above the rim, is another
Maltese cross, in the middle of which is
the large unpolishcd ruby which once
graced the coronot of the chivalrous Black
Prince, and underneath this, in the crcu.
lar lin. is another immense sapphire.
The arches enclose cap Of deep purple,
or rather blue, velvet; and the rim of the
crown, at its base, is clustered with brill.
ants, and ornamented with Geurs. dc-Ls and
Maltese crosses equally rich. There are
many other precious gcns-emeralls and
rubies, saphhires and small clusters of
drop pearls of great price. The crown
is altogether valued at over half million
dollars. Indeed, were it possible to re-
collect and again bring together such
precious stones, this estimate would fall
much below their intrinsic value The
old crown Of England, made for George
ILL.,, weighed upwards of seven pounds;
but, notwithstanding the gorgeous dis
play Of jewellery, independent OF
the gold cap, the present crown only
weighs nineteen ounces and ten penny
weights. 1t measures seven inches in
height from the gold circle to the upper
cross, and its diameter at the rim is five
inches.

He is a clean proof man, and one upon
whom the opposition can unite. He was

Of ultraism. or ianatical views. His nom
inatiion will be hailed with enthusiasm.
HANNIBAL HAnLtS of Name, was orig
iually Of the Democratic rauks, so called.
and only left them when their outrageous
treacherY in the Kansas Nebraska swindlt
was developing itself; and when the party
bad forfeited every claim to tue title o.
Democratic. Sinre that, he has been .
consistent and energetic worker with the
Republicans. We have only to remark
briefly, for the present, that the Rspubl
can party will enter the field in 1860. viii
