ToRIA.-The following Is a description Of
this costly and remarkable work OF art:
- 1t IS hardly appropriate to speak Of it
miniature nor does that word give
l correct impression a. regards the size Of
the likeness for though only half length,
the painting Is fourteen inches long bv
nearly ten inches wide. At the taking Of
,he likeness. for the first time for the pre-
seutation OF her portrait TO 4 private indi-
Tidual, the Queen sat i'll the only robe of
tate she has worn since the death Of the
Prince Consort-the costume In which she
opened Parliament. 1t l. a black silk
lre>s trimmed with ermine, and long black
Eelvet train similarly adorned. Over her
Mary Stuart cap Is the demi-crown. while
the KOh-i-noor and one rich jeweled cross,
presented by Prince Albert form her only
ornaments. To complete the portrait, she
gave the artist many and long sittings 1t
said that IN fidelity OF portraiture the
likeness is not to be surpassed, and the
Queen has expressed her unqualified ap-
1roval of it.
The portrait s done in enamel on pam
el of pure gold Enamel paintings, to
bring out all the brllllancy of their color,
aave to be burnt in furnace at least five.
lnd generally six times. The heat to which
they are subjected is so intense as to be
My short of that which would fuse gold.
The most exquisite care is necessary nei-
her to let the picture heat too soon, nor
above all, cool TO rapidly, as in cit ler case
he enamel would crack 50 large an en-
mel portrait was never before attempted
IN England. 1t was, therefore, found nee
essary to build a small heating furnace
speeially for the execution of this work
The burning was successfully performed,
and the result Is the most exquisite enamel
painting ever seen.
The picture Is mounted in a most elabo-
rate and massive chased frame of pure gold,
surmounted with the royal crown enameled
on the same metallic colors.'

On the death Of the prince consort the
queen had Buckingham Palace dismantled.

private rooms. The queen will not drive
through the royal gateway of the palace,

years. She remains III quiet at Windsor
or Osborne. She has no company but what
her official position imposes on her. The
State apartments II Windsor are all dis
mantled and are unused-the massive plate
is not uSed-a plain silver service is put
on the table-a small, quiet pony and low
wheeled carriage the queen uses for her pri-
oate rides at Windsor, and she seldom. un-
the private park of the castle. The one
hundred fine horses that fill the Windsor
news are seldom used, and eight creams
for state occasions are not driven twice a
year. The room in which the prince con-
sort breathed his last is kept with scrupu-
Ious care Just the prince left it. The
ladies say that each night the dressing gown
and slippers are put in their accustomed

bedside of the aged and neglected the
queen kneels and prays to the Sovereign
of All. To one she daily reads, to another
she presents some needed comfort; and she
is espe tally tender to the little ones who

Lee & Shepard Boston. The artist was u
