LONDON, February THE Queens pri-
vate estate extends over 1882 acres, and the
annual rental amounts to some $1O4, ZOO.
This does not include the domain of Glare.
mont, which was to pass to the nation on the
decease Of her majesty, but which last ysar
became her property by purchase of the re-
version. In addition to the Queens estate
in Great Britain, her majesty possesses prop
erty at Coburg, and the villa Hohenlshe and
its grounds at Baden Baden, in Germany.
ROYAL INCOMES.
From returns just issued, 1t appears that
the amount expended on the royal family
for the year 1882 footed up to some 81, 466,-
900. This includes maintenance Of palaces,
expenditure in connection with royal yachts
and all household items.
1t is not generally known that the Prince
of Wales derives annually from the rent of
the Sicily Isles, which form part of the
Duchy of Cornwall, sum of over $3.50, 1000.
These islands are held on lease BY Mr.. |
Smith Darrien.
THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT
reassenbles on the 18th of this month, and
ambitious Senators, ready for the fray, are
already making their appearance in town. 1t
is never safe to prophesy until you know but
there seems every probability Of another
Bradlaugh "scene" occupying the earliest
attention of the House. The unruly men,
Der from Northampton has occupied the last
few months in carrying on an agitation"
campaign in the country towns. He is one of
the most successful men Of the day in this
sort Of thing, and on the 18th his labors are
expected to result in bringing to London
crowd of some 10000 supporters, who will
unite in formal sort of demonstration in
his favor. This is rather large crowd, even
for London, and should the police be caught
off their guard at any point, there is promise
of an ugly row, especially if their hero is I'M
successful in his attempt to take his seat;
and there seems every probability at present
that he will still have to remain an outside
member.
Mr.. Ulysses Grant and Mr.. Jesse Grant
are among the latest arrivals in Paris. They
intend going to the south of Europe for
few weeks with their respective wives, re-
turning in the spring to meet General and
Mrs. Grant, who intend making . European
tour during the summer.
AN EVERLASTING PORTRAIT.
One Of the most remarkable Mosaic por-
traits ever produced has just arrived in Lon
don-a Mosaic portrait of President Garfield
which Commentators Salviati, of Venice,
intends presenting as gift to the American
Republic. 1t has been formally accepted by
President Arthur and, after q short public |
exhibition at the Salviati gallery, in Regent
street, will be sent on to Washington, when |
it will eventually be placed in the Capitol
as pendant to that of Lincoln, which Com |
mendatore Salviati also presented to the |
America Nation just after the assassination |
of that myrtared President. The Garfield |
Mosaic consists Of no fewer than 1000 frag-
ments of glass, so cleverly joined together |
as to produce the effect of an ell painting of |
q very superior class. The chief merit of |
this kind of portrait is its durability. 1t is |
as indestructible as anything made by |
human hands can possibly be, and will re-
main unfaded for ceDturies-a quality which |
has been proved by specimens found in |
Greece and ancient Rome. Long after other |
portraits have crumbled to dust, the Mosaic |
presentments will endure, "unchanging and |
unchanged"
