RUGBY, TENN, SATURDAY, JUNE II, 1882

but, next week, hope to present our
readers with full account of their
contents; in the meantime M. H.
Allardt & Co., of Port Huron, Michigan,
will at once forward on full particulars
of their lands and plans to any one
interested, and all in, and connected
with, Rugby, cannot but be concerned
with what is going on SO very close to
us here, and must, moreover, largely
assist in the development of our colony.
We have only room now for one
extract from Mr.. Allardt's circular,
under the headline "Our Plan
"We do not propose to make this
so-called Colonization project, extend
ing paternal care over every member.
Each one is to stand on his own feet,
and work out his own salvation. We
shall sell our lands to those who are
able to pay for them, without regard to
nationality. But, in saying this, we do
not wish to be understood that we will
not aid the rapid development of the
settlement. This will be for our own
interest. Messrs. Cyrus Clarke and
James N. Clarke, in whose names the
title of the lands rests, are energetic,
wealthy and humane gentlemen, who
have the prosperity of the enterprise at
heart, and will do all in their power tc
further the general welfare. Our Mr.
Allardt was Commissioner for Imm
grafton from Michigan in Germany from
1869 to 1875, and his experience in the
settlement of new countries will be uset
in securing settlers of the right class
for these lands, disposing of them il
the shortest possible time, on the mos
reasonable terms"

QUEEN VICTORIA'S ROUND
OF DUTIES.

If the day is fine the Queen drives
to Frogmore in an open carriage, and
there, breakfasts in the house, unless
the weather is very hot, when her
Majesty takes the meal in tent ON the
lawn, and reads her private letters and
newspapers. The Queen never takes
up newspaper that has not been pre-
viously perused by lady in waiting,
who marks all the passages which she
thinks would interest her Majesty,
who is supposed to look at nothing that
is not marked. Afterward the Queen
goes to another room or to 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 con-
stantly riding between the Queen at
Frogmore and Sir Henry Ponsonby at
the Castle. After about three hours Of
incessant work her Majesty drives back
to the Castle with the boxes in the car
riage, and they are then carried up
stairs on tray, and sorted and dis.
patched by Sir Henry Ponsonby.
Then her Majesty lunches with Princess
Beatrice and any other members of he,
family who are at the Castle and, un
less there is any ceremony of state ap
pointed for the day, they afterward take
a walk in the sunk garden or on tht
slopes, and later 90 out for a drive
) On their return they retire for a littl'
necessary rest before preparing for din
ner, which brings the days visitors
The only part of the Queens dali,
routine which never varies is the morn
ing work, which comes as regularly a
. that of any clerk in the city, and every
, thing is done by her Majesty with cor
. scientious thoroughness. The Quee
looks into everything herself, and tn
s public have little idea of the prodie
: ious number and variety of the subject
: which come before her for decision.
e is an anxiom among all who hav
S served the Queen that if they can onl
l. get their case looked into by he
d Majesty, strict justice is assured. A
e Windsor her life is more laborious tha
d elsewhere, from the incessant visitor
e and ceremonies, and the impossibilit
y Of getting away from the pomp an
.. pageantry of a Court. There is notl
n ing which her Majesty SO much dislike
: at the Castle as the innumerable SCI
d tries, who are everywhere to be see
e and whose monotonous tramp nevt
l. ceases along the east terrace, unde

le ments. London Zrqth.
