Queen Victoria and the Welsh
Tailor.
oardifMsil.l

Cardiff Mail.l
Princess Victoria, now queen Of
spent some of her youth
full days in Apglesey, where she
seemed to enjoy herself very much.
She occasionally wore the sugar
loaf hat and a riding habit, and
went among the descendants of the
old Druids in Mona's Isle. This
was before she took a fancy to the
brown heath and the tartan plaid,
and the pibroch of Caledonia. In
the neighborhood of the New
Palace in Mona, where she and her
nam, the Duchess of Kent, we're
staying, was an old tailor named
John Jones, who was local
preacher with the Wesleyans.
One Saturday afternoon the Prin-
cess Victoria had the misfortune,
while riding, to tear her riding
habit, and on her return to the
palace the local tailor was sent for
by the house steward. John Jones
went and asked for "the lord
chamberlain" but was told there
was no such functionary at the
palace. He, in consequence, re-
turned home. On Sunday morning
another message came from the pal,
ace requesting his immediate at
tendance. He sent in reply that
he would not 60, that he was to
preach that morning at GOrswen,
and in the evening at Traethcoch,
and away he went. On the follow
ing morning another message came
from the palace, and he this time
Obeyed.
On appearing before the house
steward that functionary appeared
much displeased with our old
friend, and asked him angriIy why
he had not come when sent for
the day before. "Iwas preaching
at Gorswen chapel in the morning,
sir" replied John Jones, "and
at Traethcoch in the evening"
"Chapel, indeed +" said the officer.
"Preaching, indeedl Did you not
know that her royal highness,
Princess Victoria, had sent for you
to do some work for herr" " Yes,
sir" replied John, "but l do not
work on the Sabbath" The officer
simply said: "Not work, indeed ~
"Eo, sir" replied John, courage.
ously; 81 have never worked on
Sunday, and never SHALL" "WhaLp'
said the officer; "you refuse to do
small job for the future queen
of Great Britain ?" 0Well," said
John, i am now but a poor tailor
of Lianfair, but also expect to be
a king some day in the next world,
and it is better for me to lose the
favor of princesses of this world
than to forfeit my crown in the
world to come. )"
The officer laughed, and gave tc
John the riding habit to mend
When the task was finished, the
officer informed John that the
princess and duchess were much
pleased with the manner in which
he had done the work, aud espec,
tally with his conduct, and ex,
pressed themselves willing to assist
him when necessary.

Reconsideration. the examination,
lining and discharge Of Mr.. Cline the other
day on charge of assault, he became
chincensed against a witness, Mr., Reese,
who swore against him, and made some ex-
pressions of having revenge. But those
who heard him advised him to cool down
and 60 about his business and did not
really think any further demonstration |
would be made. Before bis former exsmi. |
nation pistol had been taken from him
and was In possession OF one of his neigh.
bors. In riding home with said neighbor
ke expressed revenge towards Reese, and
when he came to bis neighbours house he
demanded his pistol. his neighbor seeing
his state of mind refused to let him have it.
His neighbor rode with him to near Reese's
place, and Reese and another man APP
preached in sight. Cline then desired to
get out Of this wagon. His neighbor ad-
vised him not to do SO, but Cline insisted
saying that he had some private business
Fith Reese, and his neighbor supposing
that as he had Cline's pistol at his own
house, he was unarmed, SO made no furth-
er objections. Cline got out and walked
towards Reese, who seeing him took alarm
and placed himself behind the man who
was with him. Cline then drew another
pistol from his coat and told the man be-
fore Reese to get out Of the way or he
would put ball through him. Reese still
kept his man between himself and Cline,
who then reaching around the man fred at
Reese. Both the man and Reese ran, aud
Cline fred Bother shots at Reese. One OF the
balls grazed him across the back. The
man in the wagon then thinking he had dis
charged all his loads went towards him to
arrest him, and be fred a fifth shot at him,
and made movements to reload. But the
men were too quick for him. They seized
him and bound him with ropes and brough I
him to town. He expressed the wish on
the way in that he bad killed the two men
who had sworn against him, and then he
would have killed himself. At times he
exhibited symptoms of arrangement, a,
other times be seemed perfectly cool and
rational. He was brought before Judge
Warner yesterday morning on charge o.
an assault with intent to commit murder, te
which charge he plead guilty and said tina
he did not wish to live longer. 1t Seems
that before leaving town the other day b.
bought another pistol, FIVE shooter o
heavy caliber, and had fully prepared him
self for the attack on Reese, and hat
adroitly concealed the weapon from hi
, neighbor who rode out with him. Th

Increase of Votes.

In 1876 the total vote of Nes Perez
county for Delegate to Congress was
only 291, at the late election the total
vote for Delegate was 6l8, more than
double the vote of 1875. 1t was thought
that in 1876 nearly the whole vote Of
the county was polled, while at the recent
election it is claimed that full 200 voters
in the county did not 60 to the polls
and this statement tallies with the re
turn of voters by the assessor. Hence
it is apparent that our county has more
than doubled in population during thu
past two years.

SoUrH AND EAsT.-The lands south and

rapid rate by first class settlers. So that
in few years the prospects now is fair
that the whole area of open land will be
fenced up into good wheat farms. These
lands if not quite so productive as Genessee
valley, will have much more ready mar.

EDITOR TELLER The Constitution

much discussed Indian question your

There seems to DO great misapprehen.

council held by Gen. Howard with the
Indians at Priests rapids. The General

Washington and Idaho, and the Indians

few Indians on these reservations who
have, or would, elect to abandon all tri-

their own right. With the speedy ex.
piration Of the treaties, the rights of the
Indians to occupy the reservations, do
not cease. Congressional action is the
just step towards satisfactory adjust

Definite character must be had. The
