QUEEN vIcToRrNs DAILY RoUNINE.

The Queen and Prince Albert were up
very early in the morning, being usually OF
business or out by eight o'clock, butnow Her
Majesty rarely appears before nine o'clock.
If it is fine the Queen then drives to Frog
more in an open carriage, and there break
fasts in the house, unless the weather isyery
hot, when Her Majesty takes the meal in
tent on the lawn, and reads her private LETT
ters and newspapers. The Queen never
takes up newspaper that has not been pre-
viously perused by a lady in waiting, who
marks all the passages which she thinks
would interest Her Majesty, WHO'S supposed
to look at nothing that is not marked. At
terward the Queen goes to another room or
another tent, and proceeds TO the business Of
the day there are seldom less than twenty,
and often more than thirty boxes to be gone
through, and groom is kept constantly rid
ing between the Queen at Frogmore and Sir
Henry Bonsonby st the Castle. There are
dispatches, state papers, letters from minis
tiers, and, what are quite troublesome, 10000
tiresome trifes, each one of which must be
carefully gone into and decided upon, to say
nothing of private business Of every descrip-
ton.
After about three hours Of incessant work
Her Majesty drives back to the Castle with
the boxes in the carriage, and they are then
carried up stairs on tray and sorted and
despatched by Sir Henry Bonsonby. Then
Her Majesty lunches with Princess Beatrice
and any other members Of her family who
are at the Castle and, unless there Is any
ceremony of state appointed for the day,
they afterward take a walk in the sunk gar
den or on the slopes, and later 60 out for
drive. On their return they retire for lit
tie necessary rest before preparing for dim
ner, which brings the days visitors. The
only part Of the Queens daily routine which
never varies Is the morning walk, which
comes a. regularly as that of any clerks In
the city, and everything is done by Her
Majesty with conscientious thoroushnsss.

THE TENNESSEE WAY.

While waiting at Franklin, Tenn, for the
train to Nashville, we saw long-waisted
man with bow-legs and thin arms coming
across meadow at dog trot carrying a
satchel and looking over his shoulder as if
be feared pursuit He came over the fence
at two jumps, rushed past and purchased
ticket and then returned and said:
Gentlemen, excuse my conduct but /
am going to hide under the station platform
until the train comes along l ask you, in
the name OF Heaven, not to betray me if
anyone arrives and asks for me.n
We hadn't time 10 tell him whether we
would or not before he was OFT of sight
waiting under the elevated plank platform
until the train should come up, taking his
satchel with him. 1t seemed to be very
suspicious case, but agreed with the Ken
tuckian that 1t was none Of our business and
we could save time and money by not med
ding with it. He had been concealed about
five minutes when woman who had $780,
600 worth of business in each eye and a
hand as hard as iron, rode mp to the station
on a bare-backed mule and beckoned me to
approach.
Stranger she began as I drew near,
"my old man wants to jump the country

bands children. Have you seen wild-look-

EocENTRlclrIEs OF HOTEL GUESTS.

"Do you see that man going off with that
ing hotels in this city of a reporter for the
Free Press yesterday. An affirmative an
swer was given at which the clerk con-
! tinuea = - That man is worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars and is at the head of n
business which probably amounts to up
wards of million dollars year, yet he can
not write his own name. He stops with us
four or five times year and / always regis
ter his name for him without asking any
questions, for know of his inability, and
he knows that know it."
"How about his bill2 should think
the reporter.
We never cheat anybody" said the
clerk in an injured tone, and he continued
81 pity the clerk who tries TO swell old
IS bill don't know whether he can
read figures or not, but you may bet he can
tell mighty soon whether his bill is right or
not, even to cent !"
The above remarks led TO a very interest
ing chat, during which the clerk related
few of the eccentricities he has met with
during twenty years which he has spent be-
behind hotel desks. One OF the oddities
was told Of well-known star actor who
never takes meal outside Of his own room,
yet who never eats anything-at least In the
hotel-beyond Graham bread toasted, black
tea, cold roasted or smoked meats with

cause Of his eating his meals in his own

Another interesting note was of wealthy
mana resident of this city--who seldom
misses an evening that he does not visit the
hotel reading-room aud spend from one to
two hours reading the Detroit daily papers
novel way of carrying money was re-
vealed by the clerk, who told of guest who
always has from $500 to $1,000 on his per-
son, and upon reaching the hotel hands the
clerk package done up in tissue paper in
such a way as to look like package of to-
bacco or roll of calico or anything besides
bank notes. " His package of cash has be-
come so well known to the clerks that when
they see it in the safe they remark, Hello,
old Tissue is here again."
Illustrative of some of the trials hotel
clerk has to put up with, was told the hobby
of an old man who insists on having two
rooms with connecting doors, a man to re-
main in the room and keep awake with the
gas turned on full head while he sleeps

ORIGIN OF ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.


In biographical sketch of the late Dr.
Gale, the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal says: Having
graduated at Union, and completed course
of study at the College of Physicians and Sur
geons in New York, DIR. Gale became assist
ant to the chemical professor, DR.. John Tor
rey, in the same institution, making all the
experiments for the classes, and acting in
this capacity from 1927 till 1882, when, on
the breaking out of the cholera, he was placed
in charge Of the palanquin that trayersed the
streets to pick up the sick and the dead and
street. The same year was founded the New
York University. DIR. Torrey having de.
clined the professorship of chemistry, DR.
Gale was chosen to fill the place, and he
opened the University as teacher of chen
istry and geology, there being no other
teacher in the University at that time. This
position he held five years. Mr.. Samuel
Finley Breese Morse, an artist of fine repute,
then studying in Europe, had been appointed
professor of literature and fine arts. Return
ing to America to accept the new position
that gentleman improved his leisure on
board the packet ship Suliy in devising a
machine TO transmit messages, to be operated
by electricity, with apparatus for recording
by dots and dashes. Professor Morse was a
man of liberal education, not only painter
but also sculptor, accustomed to habits OF
close observation as well ss possessing that
happy complement of culture of the intellect
skill Of hand, 30 that when an idea was
once suggested he was able by his plastic
skill to give it practical expression in his
machine. He had mechanical ingenuity and
he had been observing magnetic machines in
Europe but his knowledge Of science was
not extensive, and though he had a felicitous
classical style, he had not the technical
language of science at his command not
withstanding, he had bestowed intense
thought on his new invention.
