&s>. The London correspondent of the
Chicago Journal, in utter disregard of the
etiquette with which Royalty is hedged
about, ascribes the persistent retirement of
the English Queen, popularity credited to
her inconsolable grief over the death of
Prince Albert, to her inveterate meanness
in pecuniary matters-that the whole Sc
cret of it is her determination to save mon
ey! The writer says the income Of the
Queen is ssOo,ooo, and that last year she
saved fully three fourths oft. It is added
(ahat tho Ministry have repeatedly appealed
10 her to change her conduct, representing
the unfavorable effect it must have upon
the public, but she replies that she does not
care, that she is her own mistress, and
means to do as she pleases. We don't
know whether these statements are true or
mere ISLANDERS, hut they are made upon the
asserted authority of an officer of her house

WAsHENGToN's LANDED ESTATE. In
1896, GEORGE WASHINGTON offered ms
Virginia farms for rent, and his Western
lands for sale. His farms for rent were
l. The River Farm including tho Mt.
Vernon homestead, containing l ,20I acres,
$40 acres of which were divided into seven
nearly equal fields. r .e...-.
2. The Union Farm, of SAL acres, also
equally divided into seven fields.
8. The Dague River Farm, of 5l7 acres,
also in seven equal fields.
4. The Muddy Hole Farm, of 476 acres, D.
seven fields. ..- ....a ..',r.-.. 81
The uniform seven fields were a pecu-
liarity. The lands were described as level
enough for profitable culture. and were
within sixteen miles of Washington City.
At the same time Washington offered for
sale: .-lur- Ea .a......a ....u -..
l.. His lands on the Ohio and Little
Kanawha, fifteen miles below Wheeling, in
four tracts, containing an aggregate Of g.,
IA acres. .a Hs.- .r...r ........ (.
2. Lands on the Great Kanawha, in four
tracts, of q, 266 acres. ri. s... ...'.. .....
3. On the Little Miami, three tracts-ope
about a mile from the mouth, on the upPssr
side, of $50 acres, one about seven miles up
the same stream, of 9T acres; and the third
tract, of 1,235 acres, about ten miles FROM
the mouth; making in all 3,042 acres on thts
Little Miami. 1t seems, therefore, thai
Washington was the first purchaser of tbs
excellent bottom lands between the mont
of the Little Miami and Milford. CinciI
natl was then Fort Washington, and tn
illustrious proprietor regarded them as ex
tremely valuable; as also he considered his
lands on the Ohio and the Kanawha
4. He also had 5000 acres on Green rive
in Kentucky, which he offered st the same
time. .. 80
Thus his landed estate consisted OF sc
acres in four Virginia farms, and .I,C
acres in the West. BESIDES, the advertise,
ment notices several smaller tracts aJioin-
ing the Virginia farms, the quantity no;
stated.
1t is known that Washington had far
reaching views in reference to the settle
ment OF the West. He proposed, long -
fore CllntonJstruck for the great Erie can. =
which has given such preponderance I'll
the North and to New York city and State.
to enlist the Legislature of Virginia in a
canal project by which the waters of the
Ohio should be connected with the ocean
tide ofthe Old Dominion!
But Slavery resting on that State with
fatal frown, paralyzed the energy that nit,
nave secured the great commercial mart OF.
the continent, and filled Virginia and Ma
ryland with the manufactures that have
enriched New England. 1t is well know
that every natural advantage possessed be
New England is equally displayed in Vs.
glnla, while many advantages, such as bet
ter health and close proximity to coal, cot
ton and iron, We're the distinguishing fea-
lures of the Southern over the more North
ern latitude.
In view of these advantages. and of what
he thought must be. done, Washington la.
came large landholder i'm the West. r.

pended upon where Slavery Exists II .ni

PROGRESS OF FREE LABOR IN TIL E SOUTH.
The following is an extract from letter
sent from Gen. Payne to Gen. Rosecrans.
It is creditable to both the head and heart
of Gen. Payne, and the intelligence it con-
veys is highly important and graphic.
-H GALLATIN, Tenn, June /.
My plan for changing slave to hired la
Dor, is working admirably. We are hiring
black people to their own masters. We
say to the servant that he is to have eight
dollars per month, and is to be a faithful,
good work-hand. We say to him, in the
presence of his former owner, that if his
employer does not pay him at the end of
the month, in good money, then he is to re-
turn to US. We make written contracts,
in which the slave is only knownas a hired
man. The Fauvien estate has upon it l6S
slaves. 1t is four miles from here. The
trustees and overseers came to me to 90
there and compel the black people to work.
told them / SHOULD dose, but should make
a change of plan--the estate to pay them
for their labor. They at once agreed to it..
I went down and told the black men they
should have S. 90 per month, and che wo-
men IS 90. would stop the pay of any
lazy or disobedient servant, and punish
him besides. You can form no idea of the
great change in these people. The overseer
is compelled TO report to me each week,
and he says there never was anything like
ii. The men had never so much work
done, nor done half so well before. ~
