If the day is fine the quee 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 previously perused by lady in wait
ing, who marks all the passages which she
thinks would interest her majesty,
who is supposed to look at moth
ing that is not marked. Afterward
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 q groom is kept constantly
riding between the queen at Frogmore and
Sir Henry Ponsonby at the castle.
After about three hours of iacessant
work. her majesty drives back to the castle
with the boxes in the carriage; and they
are then carried up stairs on tray, and

LYRIC ARTISTS PICTURES.
Clara Louise Kellogg has favorite
black brocaded dress which she likes to be
photographed in, and thinks more be-
coming to her than anything else. Her
favorite characters are Mignon and Car
men. VIM. Castle and Emma Abbott
nave been photographed as Paul and
Virginia IN this city, and also In an. en-
brace as Romeo and Juliet, in the balcony
scene. Their faces necessarily come very
close together, and Miss Abbott iocularly
inquired of the operator if he really
thought he could photograph a kiss.
Castle thinks getting photographed is a
dreadful bore.
Joseph Jefferson, who is a painter as
we'll as an actor, poses his gun and keg in
Grip Van Winkle'' to suit himself, and
likes 'smoved" picture, claiming that it
is more artistic. He will never have the
head rest, and holds that picture in which
the subject keeps perfectly still cannot
have any really artistic quality. Rossi,
when sitting as Edmund Kean, had his
man servant with him, and required the
servant to 60 ont where he could not see
him before he eemera. = He recalled the
! servant by blowing silver whistle which
he carried for fhe purpose.
A very large style of Photograph called
the panel and introducing etched scenes
from plays in the background, have be-
come 10 fashion and ladies in private life
are no Y having them made. They are the
rage with actresses. Modjeska ordered
two hu ldred last week. Over five hundred
have been sold of Maud Granger in ''The
Galley Slave" which introduces gondola
and moonlight effect, with Venice in the
distance.

II we can have only one Of these
plan, acted upon, We say most en-
phaucaIly, give us the Cowdon plan,
for il is the cheapest, most natural
and, We think, sufc,t plan for rellev-
ing Us Of the >uperAbundancc of water
that is poured into our basin periodi-
cGlly, and we feel q great deal more
interest in being protected from inun-
dation than in securing uniform
depth iu the Mississippi river, although
we feel deep interest in thpt also.
1t is a matter OF profound regret
that two such important plans should
have become 80 much antagOniLed by
the jealousies Of the advocates Of each
a- to perhaps defeat both. We be-
licve that they should harmonlZe !:
that the levees should be rebuilt, the
ict,ies constructed and the outlets
opened with locks So constructed aS
TO reg.iate the flow of water through
them and when the Hoods come let
the locks be thrown open, 50 as to let
the water pass through by the nearest
aud quickest route to the Gulf 1t is
needless to say that this cannot be
done, for it can and should be done.
The strongest and most unanswera-
be argument in favor Of opening the
outlets is based upon the fact that the
water in the back country rises higher
and higher and each overflow, in pro-
portion TO the rise in the Mississippi
river, which can only be accounted
fof on the hypothesis of the obstruc-
tion and filling up of tn outlets and
the natural channels through which
the water was wont to flow in former
years, for the levees used 10 break, as
well u, they do now.
One thing is certain, the country
will have to be protected from inuuda-
tiOn or aband led to become a howl
ing wilderness, and it is too produc-
tive to be abandoned.

cultivate the farms while their mas

THE other night Senators Hoar and
Butler had a spat and said things of each
other not in accord with senatorial de.
corum nor with the Christian spirit of
Christmas love. But when the official
report of the proceedings appeared in
print they were represented as saying
what they did not say, and as not say
ing what they did say. The excuse for
this Justification of the record is that it
should not be blotted by report OF un.
parliamentary and undignified debate.
But the Offense is not in the
report; it is in the occurrences
Ard if members can thus readily wipe
out the record of their disgraceful con-
duct it is obvious that they feel less re-
straint upon their tongues and fists than
they otherwise would. What is said and
done ought to be reported no more, no
less. 1t only heightens the offense to
make the record a lie.

and Eve, aged respectively 6 and years.
at Packardsville, Mass. George was in
stantly killed and Eva is probably fatally
wounded. Montgomery had not lived
with his wife for eight months, leaving
her through jealousy, and she made her
home with her father, farmer. Mont
gomery visited tho family on Saturday
last and staid. He asked his wife if she
would live with him and she refused. He
went out, found the children playing and
shot them with revolver. Hethen tried
to shoot his wife and her father, but was
overpowered by the latter and kept in the
house until the sheriff came and arrested
him. He was taken to Northampton,
where he pleaded not guilty and was re-
manded for examination on January 4.
He says he does not remember having
committed the crime. The whole family
came from the West last spring.

reported from the use of fire arms. Sew

to suppress these disorders, except in a
few instances, where arrests for crime
were made"
