Queen YictOria's Whims.

With regard to the "relic rooms" &c
which allusion was made last week,
understand that not only at Balmoral,
but also at Osborne and at Windsor
Castle, the suites which were occupied
by the Prince Consort have never been
altered in any way since his death. Ev-
erything remains as he left it. The
rooms are kept locked up during the alb
sence of the court, but, rs the Queen
comes to each palace, they are opened
and lighted up every evening during her
stay. At Windsor her Majesty usually
passes a part of each evening in the
Prince Consort's sitting-room, his suite
adjoining her own, which open from the
grand corridor. Frogmore has been
practically rendered unavailable as a
residence, in consequence of the Queen
having closed up the rooms which were
used habitually by the Duchess of Kent.
This house was always an inconvenience
ly small one, and the shutting up of the
best rooms makes it impossible to ac-
commodate family and establishment
there, which, however, is not regretted
by the royal family, as it is a very dull
place and exceedingly damp. The
Queen passes every morning at Frog
more while residing at Windsor. In
summer her Majesty has tents put up
on the lawn, breakfasts in one and writes
her letters and transacts business in the
other, driving back to the Castle to
lunch. Two grooms are kept constant
ly employed conveying the boxes of pa
pers from Sir Henry Ponsoby at the
Castle to the Queen in her tent. Lon

Garfield on His Prospects at Chicago,

Indications were not wanting that his
name might be brought before the con-
vention as candidate and there were
not few friends who looked with great
confidence to his nomination. He did
not share this confidence; and, In the
light OF past events, we may now en-
phasize the sincerity and earnestness of
his wish first to round out his legislative
career in the Senate. Whenever l re-
ferred TO the probability or possibility
of his nomination, while he looked for
ward with an honest ambition ID the
highest honor to be conferred by his
feIlow-citizens, he would say "Not
yet must make my record in the
Senate" l shall not soon forget my
last interview with him in his library,
before his departure for Chicago. While
he was fully alive TO the important re-
suits of the great convention, and his
first thoughts were In the direction of
the welfare of his party and the country,
with the spirit of the gladiator he longed
for the conflict of debate. Rising from
his chair. he said, slowly and musingly
"Well, 1 60 to Chicagop Then, draw
ing himself up, he added "And if any
one attempts to bulldoze that conven-
ton, propose measuring lances with

Eyes winch Sleep one at a Time.

There is a man in Macon who owns
pair of the most remarkable eyes we
have ever heard of. Their popularity
lies in the fact that one of them goes to
sleep before the other does, and conse-
quently one wakes up in the morning
sooner than the other.
1t must be very interesting to have
such pair of eyes. The right eye goes
to sleep and sleeps soundly while the
other lies restlessly awake striving by all
manner of devices to WOO "nature's sweet
restorer, balmy sleep" Now and then
the left optic, wide awake, looks over
the bridge of the mans nose at its part.
ner, sees the fringed curtain of the right
eyes couch tightly drawn, hears the
sleeping eye snore away into the very
bowels of sleep. and then wishes to gra-
cious it could drop its curtain, too. And
then it mods and takes cat maps, to be
occasionally awakened by the continued
snoring of its neighboI Finally it
drops off into q doze and both ocular de-
monstrations dream until morning, when
another difficulty appears. The right
eye awakens and wants to get up, but the
leftpeeper turns over in its bed and swears
it would give 81, 900 for just ten min
utes more sleep
Surely man with such q pair of eyes
ought to have dead loads of fun all to
himself. We would, for certain. Macon

The Scared Professor.

There is no use Of Disgusting the fact
that the boys who attend our colleges
are pretty tough cases on general princi-
pies. Not that they would commit
crimes, or do things that are particularly
dishonorable, but they are as full of the
old Nick as they can hold. You take the
best boy you can find in the public
schools, one who has had religious
training. and seems to have a pious turn
of mind, and who is so good that all the
other boys think he is bookedfor heaven,
and send him off to college, and you
want to watch him. The chances are
that he will come back with knowledge
of draw poker that will paralyze an old
gambler, and he will be sure to be a
leader in all the deviltry that is going
on. An illustration of this was furnished
a short time ago in one of our state
colleges devoted to turning out pious
young men. The class in elocution was
furnished with a professor from q dis
tant city, who was very thorough in his
methods, but he didn't amount to any
thing at handling boys. He seemed to
look at them in the class room appeal
ingly, as much as to beg them not to
play any monkey work on him. The
boys saw he was afraid of them, and
they laid for him. They got into dis
cussion over the proper way to render a
passage from the poem, 1.-THE Boy
Stood on the Burning Deck, when one
OF the students called the other o liar.
The professor held up his hands in hor-
TOR, and begged them to be seated, when
the young man who had been called q
liar drew O revolver and shot at the
other student, who fell to the floor an
alleged corpse. The professor was wild,
and at this point the lights went out and
every student drew revolver and began
firing blank cartridges in the air. Some
were armed with putty balls and eggs,
and at each discharge something would
strike the professor, and he thought he
was full of holes. A window was raised.
and by the light made by the exploding
cartridges pair of coat tails and legs
could be seen going out, and the pro-
lessor landed head first on some lilac
bushes. They rushed to the window
and the poor man, bruised and bleeding,
and as scared as it was possible for q
man to be, was running for dear life.
The next morning he took the train for
home, with black eye, and clothes
that looked as though something had
been scraped off Of them, and the
faculty of the college will not know what
has become of their profession of elocu-
ton till they read this. The boys go
about their studies as though nothing
had happened, but they are trying to
think up some new deviltry. Boys will
be boys, and there is no way you can
prevent it, unless you break their backs.

The DandeliOn,

Those who have been pestered to
death by the irrepressible dandelion on
their lawns may now take heart. The
pest will poster them no more. Eastern
markets have begun to utilize them for
greens, SO that gardeners viii cultivate
them for sale The plant having thus
become useful, the bugs will eat it off
above ground. the grubs viii saw its
roots in two, the sun will parch it to
death, the rains will drown it out, the
wind will thresh it to strips and boys
will dig it out and steal it. Thus the
dandelion, which las been among the
first of weeds to coax its way into hu-
man favor in the spring by throwing out
its golden blossom as q sort of flag of
truce and peace offering combined, will
retire from the field and the lawn. to the
seclusion of the guarded greenhouse.
