Queen Vict0ria's Maids of Honor.

After the accession of Queen Victoria
in 1887, young and nexperienced-1s
years old-her first trouble was in the
organization of the ladies of the royal
household. Those around her were
quite agreeable to her, but they were
the wives, sisters and daughters of the
Ministers and friends of the former SOW
ereign-her uncle, William ". When
these Ministers retired, and Sir Robert
Peel had formed his Cabinet, he inform
ed her Majesty that the ministerial
changes would include the higher offices
| of the Court occupied by the ladies, i'll
GLIDING the Ladies' of her Bedchamber,
and at the same time implied that it was
impossible that she should have as her
| associates the wives, sisters, and other
near relatives of the political opponents
of himself and his new Cabinet. We
toria promptly declared that she would
not submit to any change of her house
hold, and she was supported in this de
cision by Lord John Russell and Lori
Melbourne.
| Sir Robert Peel at once offered his
resignation, and the old Ministry re.
manned in office until 1S41, when their
weakness before the country compelled
| their retirement, and Sir Robert Pee:
came in, and Queen Victoria yielded hel
ladies to the new Premier. No difficult
ties were again raised on the "bed-
| chamber question, says Sir Thomas
Erskine May in his great work on g The
Constitutional History of England.
The principle that Sir Robert Peel az
a1 to- HI IL
admitted, on all sides, to be constitu.
tional. The offices of Mistress of thc
Robes and Ladies of the Bedchamber,
when held by ladies connected with the
outgoing Ministers, have been consid.
cred as included in the ministerial ar
rangements. But Ladies of the Bed
chamber belonging to families whose
political connection has been less pro
nounced, have been suffered to remain
in the household, without objection, on
change of Ministry
Still, in selecting these ladies, the
Queen exercises the utmost care Nc
doubtful person is ever admitted into
the charmed circle, and, although equiv
ocal characters from foreign countries
may sometimes secure presentation at
court by deceiving the Ministers from
those countries, questionable Englist
woman is a rare thing on such occa-
sions
l have just glanced over the official
list of the ladies near Queen Victoria
for 1878. The Department of the Mis-
tress of the Robes, of which the Duchess
of Wellington is the chief, includes sew
en- ladies of the Bedchamber, five Extra
Ladies' of the Bedchamber, eight Bed
chamber Women, four Extra Bedchanl-
Der Women, one Lady Attendant on
Princess Beatrice, eight Maids of Horcr,
and one Extra Maid of Honor. All ale
ladies attached to titled families, the
Maids of Honor having each the prerx
of "Hon,'' to her name. IL
addition to these are the
ladies of almost equal rank in the
household of the Princess of Wales, the
Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Of
Christiana, and the Marchioness II
Lorne, the daughters-in-law and ma
ried daughters of Queen Victoria. -Lo.-

The "Home Course Of Lectures begun
several months ago Ly the Redwood Falls
Literary Association was brought to . sue
cessful close on Friday evening of last
week by the delivery OF a scientific lecture
by Prof. Nix Of New Ulm. The lecturer
gave evidence Of extended reading and a
vast amount Of personal research and
handled the subject Of animal magnetism,
messmerism, in = scholarly and scientific
manner. Althoush:he disasrees with some
Of the popular writers upnn this subject
and showed wherein they we're mistaken,
or their theories were faulty, it cannot be
denied that he proved the nonexistance Of
any magnetic property in thu animal
world. The Prof. has made many expert
ments all Of which 60 to prove that the ex-
rrcise Of the will exerts greater influence
upon man and the inferior animals than
any magnetic influence that has heretofore
been supposed to exist. Altogether, the
lecture nay he considered success, and
the Literary Association appreciate the
favor done itIbyEProf. Nix in the presen-
tation Of his lecture, which WAS without
pecuniary remuneration.
