At this point 0ffenbach was taken
to one side for a moment, and
Aimee continued the conversation.
She was attired in a pretty suit of
navy blue, looped up over a silk
skirt, and on her feet, just peering
beneath a neatly embroidered skirt,
were the daintiest little pair Of
French boots. She wore a Pari-
sian hat, the texture of which was
almost concealed by rich ostrich
feather. She was in exuberant
spirits and chatted merrily She
said A:
We have had a most delightful
voyage over, with the exception Of
the first two or three days out after
we left Plymouth on the 23d of
April. We have been jolly party
by ourselves, and 0ffenbach has
taken charge of our musical enter
tainmentS. Only yesterday we got
up a concert here in this saloon for
the benefit of the sailors, and we
raised for them 400 francs, which

Yes; no; | came in this ship

The Queen at Homo.

Figaro has interviewed John
Brown with the following effect /.
=" Her Majesty leads a very regular
life, believer | said. eyes /; it's
generally the same, day after day."
was the reply. "She gets up about
nine in the morning, and has
breakfast in her apartments. Then
she walks up and down the terrace
until she comes indoors to sign her
papers. The documents are all put
ready for her to sign, with the cor
ner turned down where she is to
write. But her Majesty, woman
like, will insist upon reading most
of them, and seeing what is inside.
However, she rarely makes an alter
alton. After this, which often takes
two or three hours, she sees the
Princess Beatrice (God bless her y
and has lunch. Then she will, il
it is fine, take a walk in the
grounds with the Princess Beatrice
and Prince Leopold, when he or she
will drive out, and | have to attend
her. Then she comes home, and
one Of the ladies reads to her until
it is time to prepare for dinner.
After dinner the ladies read to her
again, and she looks over pictures
and things, and goes to bed very
early" "The dinner is rather a
stiff affair, l supposed" / said.
"Well, stiff is hardly the word for
it," was the reply. "The guests as
semble and dinner is generally an
nounced before her Majesty enters
the room. The minister-in-wait-
ing and the people invited sit at the
table, and there is a pause. Then
the Queen enters, everybody rises,
her Majesty makes a bow and sits
down, and the guests resume their
seats. The footlnen serve the
dishes in solemn silence, and not a
word is spoken. Her Majesty
usually makes two Or three remarks
during the dinner, but no one
speaks unless the Queen speaks to
him, and the company is more
like a Quaker's meeting than any
thing else, Before the dessert her
Majesty generally rises, bows, and
leaves the room, but the guests,
ladies and all, remain. The Prin.
cess Beatrice generally leaves with
her mother. Then the conyersa-
ton becomes more general after
her Majesty has left, and at the end
of the dinner, Lady Biddulph, OF
Miss Oadogan, or somebody rises,
the ladies leave the room, the gen.
tlemen remaining standing. Then
the gentlemen usually go to the
smoking or billiard-room, and the
ladies to the drawing-room. Some
times the Queen win 60 into the
drawing-room in the course of the
evening, but not very often. And
the gentlemen areall in court dress,
which isusually very tightly fitting,
so they can't enjoy their dinner
much. ] don't envy them a bit,

The Man VINO walks Through Fire

A few days since an exhibition of
the new 0estberg fre-extinguishing
apparatus took place in the Linden
strasse in Berlin in the presence of
the Emperor, the Empress, the.
Crown Prince, the Grand Duke of
Baden, the Swedish Minister, the
Ministers of War and the Interior,
and other distinguished persons.
The inventor, who is a Swede
named 0esberg, and Messrs. Brandt
and Nawrocki, who had charge of
the exhibition, were presented to
the Empress before the experiments
took place.
Captain Ahlstrom appeared in a
peculiar looking costume, made of
the 0esberg invention, and walked
into an immense fire made of wood
saturated with petroleum. The
heat of the fire was so intense that
no one else could approach within
eighty PAGES without being burnt
or scorched. The Captain, how
ever, walked around in the glowing
pile perfectly undisturbed, leaning
on the burning wood, and finally
quietly seating himself on the
Goals. He remained in the fire for
fifteen minutes, and on his coming
out, every one pressed round to see
how much he had been injured.
He was unharmed, and in spite of
the Emperor's asseveration that he
had seen enough of SO dangerous
an experiment, Captain Ahlstrom
went again into the fiery oven.
On finally emerging, he took off
the suit, and appeared clothed in
red flannel. The Emperor said,
some must see this to form any
just conception of il" He then
asked Messrs. Brandt and Nawrocki
about the patent in Prussia, and
when informed that the application
for a patent had been refused, ex'
pressed great surprise.

The members of the Cambridge
Woman's Union held special
meeting in the Cambridge Baptist
Church recently, at which Mrs.
Zina Fay Pierce, the president of
the society, presided. The object
of the meeting was to discuss the
question whether women may not
offer helpful suggestions in the
present political emergency. Mrs,
Pierce made a few Introductory re-
marks, citing the benefits which
the family derives from the mutual
consultation Of parents, and asking
if it were not probable that the
same good would result from the
consultation of men and women on
the conduct Of national affairs.
Pierce contrasted the considerable
influence of women under mon.
archioal form of government with
the complete sway Of male power
in the republic, which she thought
might account for the proverbial
short life of the latter. She con-
sidered the present time particu-
larly appropriate for the discussion
of our political degeneracy, which
was proved by the fact that our
political leaders of to-day are not
like those of one hundred years ago
To bring back that higher standard
in the government of the country
she thought it was advisable that a
statesmen's conference, comprising
the foremost Democrats and Repub-
lieans of the country, should be
held this summer, to give voice to
their political principles and their
opinions of what may be done in
behalf Of ADLER and more honest
legislation. The ladies of the soci-
ETY. desire to confer with the ladies
of the Centennial committees and
with them to unite upon a set Of
resolutions inviting the action Of
representative men in this matter.

The foreign journals tell of a
young Arab widow, daughter Of a
chief, whose husband was murdered
by the Turks, Her father, touched
by the prayers and tears of his
child, called the Bedouin horsemen
of the Benz Kawas to arms. The
woman, armed like the men, and
carrying their banner, like Joan of
Are, was always formost in her
attacks upon the enemy, closely
followed by her father and her
brothers, and a horde of horsemen.
The Turkish Government has set a
price on her head in order to stop
the slaughter of the soldiers. The
Arabian poets have made the
heroine the subject Of their songs,
and she is now tho most famous
parsonage in the district Of Boder.

Just before Admiral Nelson went
to sea for the last time, he spoke to
the painter West Of his "Death of
Wolfe" and asked him why he did
not produce more pictures ike that.

painter, "there are no more sub
