band died. She will not ride through the
royal entrance TO the House OF Lords,
but goes in through the Peers entrance.
She win not wear the royal robes, and
when she opens Parliament in person
the robes are thrown over the back Of
the throne, which is gilded chair sur
mounted with gilt crown, and sits on
them. She comes 10 London when duty
calls seldom passes night in her capi-
tai, and has passed less than dozen in
four years. She remains in quiet in
Windsor or Osborne. She has no com
psny but what her Official position inn
poses on her. The state apartments at
Windsor are all dismantled and are un-
used--lbe massive plate is not used--a
plain silver service is put on the table
small, quiet pony and low-wheeled
carriage the Queen uses for her private
rides at Windsor, and she seldom, unless
duty calls her to Lsndon, goes beyond
the private park Of the Castle. The one
hundred fine horses that fill the Windsor
news are seldom used, and the eight
creams for state occasions are not driven
twice year H
. The room in which the Prince Consort
breathed his last is kept with scrupulous
care just as the Prince left it. The la
dies say that each night the dressing
gown and slippers are put in their accus.
toned place. The Queens confidential
attendant is Highlander by the name
OF Brown. He takes all the orders from
the Queen--and bare.legged messengers
come from the Queens Apartments
at Windsor when her Majesty is to be
served. This Brown has been the occa-
sion of a world of talk. He is about fifty
tall and spare-with great assurance,
and attends the Queen to and from Lon
don. Great attempts have been made to
dislodge him, but all in vain. The Queen
has a will of her own. Brown was the
Prince Consort's Highland servant, and
was held by him in all honor. While
Victoria rules England, Brown will rule
the royal household.
Refusing TO play the Queen, her Ma.
jesty has never forgotten to play the
woman. Her visits to Bslmoral and
Osborne are benedictions to the poor.
She will allow no unseemly honors. She
drives her own pony wagon. Daily she
goes her rounds with her>carriage filled
with little gifts for the sick, the infirm,
the poor. These she distributes with her
own hand. By the bedside of the aged
and neglected the Queen kneels and
prnys to the Sovereign of All. To one
she daily reads, to another she presents
some needed comfort; and she is espe'
cially tender to little ones who are in sor-
row or want. All through the Highlands
she is regarded as an angel of mercy.
Her favorite room at Windsor over.
looks the tomb at Frogmore where Prince
Albert lies. He was benefactor to the
poor, and the work he began she seems
resolved to finish. The night he diedthe
Queen called in young widow who was
in her household to sit with her, and
when all was over the QussH said: No
one now lives that can call me Victoria.

leon was dressed in simple black, and
across his breast passed the broad, bright
red silk riband ofthe Legion Of Honor; he
had along narrow necktie Of white. He is
a short, thick.set man, with dali, brown
hair, which is growing thin, small gray
eyes, thick nose, and immense mustsche

not those stiff ends which we see in the
pictures The Empress Eugene had on
a very long purple brown satin dress,
with train, and velvet bonnet, while
over the dress she wore black satin
cloak trimmed with velvet. As they
stood there together the Emperor un-
covered, Eugene looked much taller
than he; she was far statelier, for the
Emperor has not the look of sovereign,
which she has. They stood some five min
utes, during which time the Empress
was making remarks about the statues,
to which her august spouse responded
by mods. / was very much surprised to
see how young and beautiful the Empress
still looks. Her face is as fair, her form
as perfect, her grace as inimitable as
ever. Her dark brown hair was tastefully
arranged, and she seemed to bear the
cares of royalty with the utmost ease.
As they passed along, each bowed to-
ward the side nearest to them, and were
greeted by shouts of, Long live the EN-
peror and Empress" at every step.

John Randolph among the Boys.

| A correspondent of the Central Pres.
| byteriaR furnishes seme "reminiscences
of his school days more than fifty years
ago. The celebrated John Randolph,
then at the zenith of his power as lead.
ing man of Congress, had three wards
(nsphews) at the school Chat of the Rev.
Drury Lacy, Prince Edwards county,
Virginia., at which he used to be fre-
quent visitor. The writer says:
1t was Mr.. Lacys custom to hear his
boys recite their Greek and Latin gram
mar lessons before breakfast, and / have
known Mr.. Randolph more than once to
come from Bilare, two miles, and enter
the school house by sun up. At o clock
the school was formally opened, when all
the boys read verses about in the Bible,
until the chapter or portion was finished.
Mr.. Randolph always seemed to be
highly pleased with the exercise, read
his verse in turn, and with Mr.. Lacy,
would sometimes ask questions. On
one occasion, while reading one of the
books of the Pentateuch, he stopped lad
with the question
Tom Miller, can you tell me who was
Moses father "
"Jethro, sir, was the prompt answer.
Why, you little dog, Jethro was his
fatherin-law.
Then putting the question to four or
Eve others by name, not one of whom
could answer, he berated them soundly
for their carelessness and inattention in
reading, saying:
when you were reading last week,
William Cook read the verse containing
the name of Moses father, and have yos
all forgotten it already2"
Just then q young man caught the
name, and unable to repeat the verse of
the Bible, repeated part of line from
Milton:
"Ths potent rod of Abrams son, etc"
"Ah," said Mr.. Randolph, that is the
way you learn your Bible-get it out Of
other books-what little you know of it,
'-and with an exceedingly solemn man
ner and tone, added: And so it is With
us all, and a terrible proof of our deep
depravity it is, that we relish and re-
member anything better than the Book. "
The very utteraace, simple as it was,
filled every one with awe, and made him
feel guilty, while it at the same time i'm
parted reverence for the Bible which
was never felt before, and which from
one mind at least will never be ehaeed.
Mr.. Randolph, however, was so pleased
with the young man who quoted from his
favorite author, that in a short time-as
soon perhaps as he could get it from
Richmond-he presented him with q
beautiful copy of Mihon's Paradise
Lost" with a suitable inscription in his
own elegant handwriting.

Johanna southcote (ColOredl.

Considerable excitement has been
caused in Chattanooga for several days
past, by an insane colored woman, who
has visions, and proclaims that she is the
representative Of God; that power has
been given her to watch over the inter.
ests OF the colored people, and that she
has been commanded to confseate the
property of the Copperheads and rebels,
and divide it among her children-the
colored people No notice has been
taken Of her by the police, and she has
succeeded in convincing quite . number
of the more ignorant colored people of
the truth of her statements, and had
aroused their enthusiasm to high pitch.
Tuesday night at the eolored Baptist
church she created quite confusion by
her doctrines Knives were drawn and
several fights took place among the col
ored people present Wednesday morn
ing Hon. A. A. Pierson, Commissioner
of Police, fearing that serious riot
might be excited, sent o policeman and
had her arrested A large crowd gath
cred around the police, and the woman
explained her mission publicly. When
she was talking about confscating the
property Of copperheads, the editor of
the RepublicaR wanted to have her
point him out a copperhead. She re.
piled, IF you amt one never saw one !.
This circumstances iuclines the editor of
the Chattanooga Union to the belief that
there is method in her madness The
woman was confined for time in the
city prison, with colered man to take
charge of her, and she improved the time
by haranguing out of one Of the windows.
She was afterwards released and was
