tmate possessor of magnificent voice,
aud was one day bidden to sit down at
the piano and sing something. She de-
clined to do 50, feeling nervous, and for
getting that a Queens request is tam
tamount to a command
The Queen insisted, but the lady urged
that she had a cold "Well, then, you
had better go to bed," said Her Majesty.
"No, thank you," was the reply; "but,
if yea don't mind, PIl sit Down" and
she did. Formerly royal person took
nothing from the hands of any one who
was not of "gentle blood" and the Queen
herself is still very strict in requiring
that all the personal attention she needs,
except at table, is rendered by the ladies
and gentlemen attached to her Court.
The Prince Consort, when out shooting,
would never take his gun from the hands
of gamekeeper, but always required
that it should first be given to an eguerry-
in-waiting. The Queen is in the habit of
drinking glass of water every night be-
fore retiring. Louis Philippe, having
heard of this custom, when her Majesty
visited him at the Chateau d Eau" in
1843, ordered a servant to present her
with one. The Queen refused it, and
the King, seeing, from her manner, that
something was wrong, sent the glass
again by one of his sons, and this time it
was graciously y accepted.

there been such mania for building.
The building season has not yet opened,
and there are at least one hundred houses
in course of construction to-day. The Dis
puted Eighty is fairly alive with carpen-

thickly dotted overwith dwelling-houses.
By the middle of April the building sea-

A New Secret order.

The other day after strapping young
man had sold load of corn and potatoes
en- the market and had taken his team to
hotel barn to "feed," it became known
to the men around the barn that he was
very desirous of joining some secret
society in town. When questioned he
admitted that such was the case, and the
boys at once offered to initiate him into a
new order called the Cavaliers of Coveo."
He was told that it was twice as secret as
Freemasonry, much nicer than Odd Fel-
lowship, and the cost was only 81. In
ease he had the toothache he could draw
SIS per week from the relief fund, and he
was entitled to receive $40 for every head
ache and $25 for sore throat.
The young man thought he had struck
big thing, and after eating a hearty
dinner he was taken into store-room to
be initiated. The boys poured cold water
down his back, put -four on his hair,
swore him to kill his mother if COM
manded, and rushed him around for an
hour without single complaint from his
lips. When they had finished, he in
quired:
"Now Pm one of the Cavaliers of
Coveo, am II"
"You are" they answered.
Nothing more to learn, is therew
Nothing"
"Well, then, Pm going to lick the
whole crowd" continued the candidate,
and he went at it, and before he got
through he had his - initiation fee back
and 50 more to boot, and had knocked
everybody down two or three times
apiece.
He didn't seem greatly disturbed in
mind as he drove out of the barn. On
the contrary, his hat was slanted over,
he had fresh five cent cigar in his
teeth, and he mildly said to one of the
barn boys:
Say, boy, if you hear of any Cavaliers
asking for Coyeo about my size, tell 'em
I'll be in on the full of the moon to take
the Royal Skyfugle degrees"

Charles J. Wells, the author of that
long and curious poem, "Joseph and His
Brethren" died last month in France.
He was charming man, of fascinating
address, having the tastes of scholar
and of a hunter. He lived since 1910 in
France, and wrote eight or ten volumes
of poetry, but having attempted in vain
to find a publisher for any Of them, he
burned the whole mass of manuscript at
his wife's death. The drama of Joseph
and His Brethren" was the only work of
bis life which he preserved, Ii was first
published in 1924, but it was not until
1876 that literary critics announced its
value to any practical purpose. Then
the world began to talk of it, and the old
man, who found it impossible at first to
take this revival seriously, so long and so
utterly had he given up ambition, woke
at last to take great interest in the mat
ter And 50 he died not without honor

Hon. HENRY G. DAVIS, Senator from
West Virginia, began life as track hand
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. His
ambition soon commenced to soar, how
ever, and he was not satisfied until he
was wrestling with the brake on a
freight train. Many men would have
paused here and looked down serenely
upon their former associates, but not so
did Davis. Bearing in his hand, fgura-
lively, banner with that strange device,
Excelsior he sprang successfully up
the intervening steps of passenger brake
man, freight conductor and passenger
conductor until he became local agent
for the railroad at Piedmont. He then
branched off into business for himself,
having served the railroad company
faithfully for fourteen years, and soon
became wealthy and influential man.
He has represented the people who knew
him best, in various capacities, and is
said to be an earnest but quiet worker,
and man possessed of so many inherent
good qualities that he wins friends
wherever he goes. He employs several
hundred men in Garrard County where
he resides, and sways a powerful in
fuence among the people Of his section.

Those Lovely Lanterns.
Boston Commercial Bulletin. I

When young Hyson, who is a commits
sion merchant and an importer, came
home to dinner one evening last week he
found Mrs. Hyson just parting with a
caller and describing some "lovely" Chi
nese lanterns she had bought at Vcneer's
on Washington street. Hyson's face
grew dark as the narrative proceeded,
and when the door closed upon the Wis
itor he turned to Mrs. II. with lower
ing brow and asked: "What have you
been fooling away money on at Ven
eer's?" Don't be such bear, Harry"
said Mrs. H. "I only bought dozen of
these lovely lanterns, nice for ornaments
and pretty to use in the country next
summer, and they were only 81 each.
Did you ever see any like them before?"
"See 'em!" groancd Hyson; C. it,
they sent me four thousand of 'cm in the
Mandarin and | have only sold one lot,
and that was one hundred to Veneer for
$15." Tears and tableau.

OUR ROTTEN NAVY.

There are occasions when, and subjects
on which the English language proves
itself wholly Inadequate to do Justice
when there is decided paucity of ad-
jectives and the strongest expletives seem
tame and unsatisfactory as the sheet-iron
thunder of 4 variety show With what
language can the patriotic American
heart unburden itself when it is known
that our whole American Navy, that has
cost the country many score million dol
lars, and is kept ahoat at an outlay of a
half-score Of million dollars annually, is
an entire fraud and a humbug? 1t is
now announced semi-oflicially that many
of the United States "Ships" of war
save the maril-haye been doing duty
ESQ called in the inland waters of Europe
because they are so unseaworthy as to be
unfit for ocean gation--such unserv-
iceable, weakened, worm-cgs.n, hog

commend that certain Of them be sold in

Americans will soon be prepared, if
they are not already, to compete for the
honor of being the richest people in the
world. They are fast gaining the race,
and will soon pass France and England.
No country has become rich as rapidly
as this in the past twenty years. The
last three United States censuses give
the total (not assessed) valuations of real
and personal estate, exclusive of Govern
ment property, in all the States and Ter
ritories, as follows 1850, 81, 1872, $50, ,2S5;
1860, SIG, 1896 ,06S; 1870, $50, ,06S,51S,-
507. Between 1850 and 1860 the wealth
of the United States more than doubled.
Had the gain continued at the same pace
since 1870 the coming census would put
us far ahead of France, even allowing
her to count in the national property,
which we omit. But the known shrink
age of values in the United States for the
past few years forbids us TO expect CON
fidently that this country will take the
lead in 1880. But if she does not occupy
that rank next year she will surely do SO
at time not remote.
