But the Queen, with the resolution and
determination which has always marked
her, carried the point, and Brown became

He is the confidential body servant oi

personal movements of Her Majesty &C

the Queen spends most Of her time, is a
town, with streets and rows Of houses
Through it continually pass wagons, mar
ket men, mechanics and market wcmcn tc
and from their work. The portion as
signed to the Queen is as retired as if she
was 200 miles away. Through Brown,
or his servants, the iveried retainers Of
the Grown at the castle receive their or
ders-and receive them with gnashing Of
teeth. Brown accompanies Her Majesty
to London, to Osborne, to Balmoral. He
is as thoroughly hated as any man can be.
He is wholly Indifferent to public sonti-
ment in regard to him. | saw him at the
railroad station, just before Her Majesty

eyes Of at least 1000 people were upon
him, as he marched from the royal en-
trance on the crimson carpet down to the
coaches. His name was spoken with a
hiss, which indicated the general feeling
toward him. He opened the doors Of the
royal coaches, entered the Queens apart
ment, punched up the cushions, and saw
that everything was in readiness. Held
the door open, hat in hand, while Her
Majesty entered closed the door, gave

THE UNREAsONABLENEss OF ENGLISH PEOPLE.
The conduct Of the English in regard
to their Queen, to the eye Of an Ameri-
can, is most unjust. Her position, as as
sigued her by the English nation, admits
of no society. She can have no personal
friends and has no equal. The night
Prince Albert died the Queen called into
her presence the governess Of her children
to whom both herself and the Prince were
devotodly attached. When it was an
nounced that her husband was dead,
she announced the desolateness and sor-
row Of her position by exclaiming to her
governess: : Nobody now lives who can
call me Victoria" Even her children
cannot do this. The statue of Nelson on
the top Of the column at Trafalgar square
is not more isolated than is the Queen by
the English people. She has her own
gateway, her own drive in Hyde Park,
her own entrance to the House Of Lords.
Nobody may speak to her, write to her,
Or console her, and, according to the no.
lions Of her subjects, she must always be
IN state, hollow, heartless and unsatislac-
tory as it often is. She is not allowed
ner private griefs, and the grateful SYM
pathy which the humblest widow in the
realm may enjoy is denied her. Nobody
lccuses the Queen Of neglect Of her pub
ic duties. She meets them all with a
and punctuality which her
minister's and those who are admitted to
IN audience with her well understand.
But because the palaces are not full of
,aiety, the golden plate at Windsor tar
iishcd for want of use, because she has an
ittached servant who promptly meets her
wants, she is mallgned and disgraceiul
scandals are circulated through the king
lon. The Queen is woman of warm
iocial sympathies and strong domestic
md social affections. Her conduct as u
wife and mother proves this. In her dia-
y she records most feelingly the prayers
,ut up in the kirk Of Scotland for herself
ind children. The manner in which du-
ing her years Of widowhood she has
nourned and has braved the popular in
