a Royal Railway Train.

The Queen Of England with numerous suite,
recently left Windsor to pay her ANIMAL visit to
Balmoral, in Scotland. 1t will interest our
readers to know some OF the particulars in regard
to the style in which Her Majesty travels.
The directors of the Northwestern Railway
Company were commanded to prepare special
train for the purpose, consisting of fourteen car
riages. The Queens carriage was fitted with a
perfect system Of electric communication with
the guard thing which has bothered the
English good deal This apparatus consisted
OF small, square, gilt box followed out in front
and furnished with glass handle, by the pull
ing of which the Queen could at any .lonen-
bring the train 10 dead stop. When once the
handle was drawn out, it could not be replace
by persons occupying the car. An experimental
trial proved that the plan operated very perfectly
his same system mas been applied to Birming-

and in tie other case by medical man, whose
curiosity led him, when the express was APP

his great CONSERVATION and chagrin, the trian
was Immediately pulled up. and he heard the
bell in the guards van ringing loudly. As the
handle Of the Communicates" remained out,
the culprit was at once detected, and nearly
lynched by the excited passengers who were, OF
course, much surprised at the sudden stopping
of the train. and annoyed at the loss of time
occasioned by the foolish freak
Her Majestys saloon, in addition to the cleo
trio communication with the guard, was likewise
fitted with an electric dial and index, for the
purpose of calling the royal dressers and personal
attendants for whose accommodation a new sa.
looa. expressly built by the directors, was
placed in position in front of and directly
adjoining the Queens saloon. A time table was
expressly arranged for running the train SOL
miles, which Was made in about nineteen hours.
