The Harbinger.
IAll tho Yehr Round.l

When ancient royalty travelled there
was much fuss, uproar and turmoil. II
it pleased Hi. Majesty King Charles II,
of jovial memory, 10 ride to Newmarket
or other place Of joyous resort, there
was person called "harbinger," who
went before his royal person--an avant
courier, in short-who, after the manner
subsisting in Oriental countries even to
this day, cleared the way and requisi-
toned suitable lodging and food for his
master and his attendants. The SOW
ereign does not now ride along tracks
more resembling sloughs than roads, nor
drive in right royal carriage, with six
or eight animals TO draw the same. There
are people yet living who can recollect
the royal carriages and post-horses,
with the relocated out-riders,
which conveyed the august per-
son OF the sovereign from London
to Windsor and back in the remote Pc
riod when the collars of mems coats grew
up behind their backs into kind of
Gothic arch, and nearly all the material
Of lady's dress was put into the leg-of-
mutton sleeves. The harbinger appears
to have departed, and the very name of
"outrider is-in America, at least-ap-
piled to a postillion instead of to the
purely ornamental riders who keep pace
with the leaders and the coach-door.
Not one "young person" Of the age in
tended by the statute in thousand
could give the faintest idea of what a
"running footman" once was, and the
work Of that functionary is as mystic
rious to this generation as that Of the
bygone Clerk Of the Pipe or Teller of the
Exchequer. Royalty no longer travels
along the Queens highway, but upon
the roads owned by the greatest Of mon
opolists since John Company died-the
4 railway cOmpanies.

Wh0 Was she?
London Truth: Account Of President Grevy'
Bail, February l2thJ

London Truth: Account of President Grevy'
Bail February i2th.I
The finest figure that | saw the whole
evening was dressed in cream-colored
faille and satin. 1t was robust in chest
and shopk iers, delicate in the neck,
Aexile at tie waist, finely rounded at the
hips, somewhat above the middle height
and neatly finished at the hands and
arms. A load of jet black lustrous hair
was fastened up vii h tertoise-shell comb
on the top Of the head. In loo4ely held
braids, crimson and purple flowers were
stuck carelessly. When the wearer of
this matchless toilet burst upon my
vision WAS sitting with group of gen.
erals and generates. The warriors were
at once Oh the alert. Their wives were
all curiosity to see the face of the beauti-
fully formed creature. She turned it
around. Astonishment at it chased po-
lteness. There was movement OF con-
sternation. We had expected to see the
head of a Caucasian Venus.
We discovered feminine gorilla, with
sickly yellow complexion. The mouth
and chin formed muzzle, the lips thick
and luscious stretched from ear TO ear;
the nose was merely nostrils; the eyes
were closed together and restless in their
orbits, and the line of the forehead sloped
rapidly back to the crown Of the head.
A diamond locket, brooch and bracelets
OF extraordinary fire and brilliancy lold
of wealth. This lady seemed stranger,
and aware of the peculiar outline of her
profile. She often hid her face behind a
| fan, on which there was portrait Of a
man set in diamonds An officer in Gen
eral Pittie's staff had heard she was a
Russian. should have thought she was
a Brazilian or Portuguese. She kept
aloof from the ballroom and, without
any one to speak to her, haunted the
quiet boudoirs up stairs, as if watching
for somebody who did not come. At q
bal masque she would have commanded
universal admiration. / never saw 9
more perfectly lovely figure and incom-
parable head of hair, with more thor
oughly unlovely face.

That million OF Postage Stamps.

I really have solid reasons for believ-

who have made the acquisition OF 1,000,-
600 of postage stamps condition for the
Of some vital matter.
A legacy may depend upon it. A mar
riage may depend upon it. Some old
imbeciie may have insisted on having
the wall of his bedroom pasted with
1000, 900 of postage stamps. 1t is not
perhaps so difficult as might be thought
to bring together 100000 Of used
up stamps 1t might, under certain
circumstances, even be worth while
to buy a few thousand stamps to get
them stamped. If you have the waste
paper of very busy offices, you will be
greatly helped in the accumulation. Most
people who begin such an accumulation
break down after time. A lady told
me the other day that she was saving up
her postage stamps toward million, and
calculated that it would take her two
hundred and fifty years at the present
rate to complete her task. If you can't
complete your own collection, you may
make yourself helpful in the matter Of
helping to complete collections of luck
ier people. A million Of postage stamps
is possession decidedly worth the hav-
ing. 1t would have its value in the uni
versal market.
