BOsTON, Sept. 26.-Ex-Governor Talbot,
Chairman of the State Board of Health
and Charity. under date of the 21st inst,
writes to Governor Butler stating that
the latter's demand for certain cash books
and ledgers relating to the accounts of
the Superintendent of the Outdoor Poor,
has been referred to him. and that he, Tai
bot, declined to deliver them because the
Governor had no legal authority to de-
mand them. Mr.. Talbot also requests
the return of the ten books of records of
the board, which Governor Butler got
possession of some time ago, and has
since had several persons examined. Mr..
Talbot protests against such err pGrte in
Yestlgation. The Superintendent of the
Outdoor Poor, he says, should
have an opportunity for an eX-
PLANTATION of his accounts, and
the board is disposed to encourage any in
vestigatiOn necessary. In fact, the Gov
ernOr never replied to the request made of
him by the board, last June, that he should
present specific charges of misconduct on
the part OF any of the officers of the board.
The board is the proper body to investi-
gate all charges, and any other method of
procedure is unwarranted by law, in viO-
latiOn of the prOprieties of life, and unjust
to the officers whose conduct NAV be call
ed into question,

Royal Rnutine-What the Princess of

There must be a good deal of sameness
in the royal routine of existence, after an.

day while observing the Princess of
Wales as she was driving along the sween

the bows and salutatiOns Of the assem-
blage she bows head, first to the right
and then to the left continuously. There
IS almost no cessation In the exercise.
1t is part OF her duty in life. And the bow
IS a study-a wonderful medium between
llstlesness and cOrdiality. The features
remain quite smileless: there IS no sus.
picion of the smirk of the popular fayorIte
of the foOtlights, for instance. But the
eyes are full Of Interest as they light on
every passing face. and 1t is impossible to
entertain doubt that one has been bowed
10, distinctly and directly, by the Prin-
cess. IhiS Is what so enchants people
not only people of a certain nositian i'm
life, but the poor people, The hard tojIers
oil the busy town, who stop on their way
to have look at the dear Princess. There
seems almost as keen look of interest in
them upon her face as she sees in theirs
concerning her. No one can soc her
without feeling an admiration Cor her.
But one VINO looks beneath the surface
OF things must know, although SO we'll
dlssem1led, that this is only acting ont
the royal part, 1t cannot be that AIexan-
ara really feels the interest her features
indicate III every passing stranger who
BOWS TO her in the park. And il must be
