Royalty In the Composing Room.


It was my destiny once to engage the
deceased Prince Leopold, duke of Al
bany, in a long conversation, writes
London correspondents. In the fall of
1879, Prince Leopold, accompanied by
his former tutor, Canon Dickworth, visit
ed the Office of one of the largest of the
London morning newspapers on the
staff of which I was at the time employed.
I was deputed by the proprietors to
show the prince over the building,
task which occupied about three hours;
for the prince not only desired to see
everything that was to be seen there,
but to have it explained to him in de-
tail. The poor old canon became quite
wearied of the inspection, and once or
twice limited at the propriety of quit
ting, until the prince told him plainly
that he was not disposed to hurry.
When passing through the composing
room, the prince dumbfounded one of
the competitors by asking him for the
loan of his composing stick. Ofcourse,
the princes request was at once COM
piled with, when his royal highness pro-
ceeded to still further astonish the ty-
pos by setting two or three lines
from page of MS. which lay on
the case. It was evident that the prince
was perfectly acquainted with the ar
rangement of the cases and could COM
pose type with ease.
Court etiquette requiring that no one
who has not been officially introduced
shall put any question to any royal per-
sonage, I was precluded asking for the
explanation / 80 ardently desired to
have. Noticing, suppose, my puzzled
expression, he proceeded to enighten
me. He had learned practical printing,
he said, when young boy, at his un-
cle's in Germany, and had spent five
weeks at the task. -
There is no historic custom in the
royal family of England, as there is in
that of Germany, requiring every prince
to 60 threugh the farce Of pretending
to learn q trade, hence Prince Leopold's
knowledge of printing must have been
voluntarily acquired. That the late
Duke of Albany was an accomplished
linguist and musician was generally
known, but I think that it has been
reserved for me to publish, for the first
time, that, to his other requirements
must be added the art of the COM
rosifnr -.-. .-.5

A London cable dispatch Of LIST SAYS The
1oNe'hineht THIS evening issued a Blue
nook giving the recent diplomatic reports
. anu correspondence regarding the Egyp-
'Ian question, but the new revelations
witch " makes are very limited, and the
general enect OF The book is TO intensity the
,eehng that the Gladstone Ministry has
peeh iriillng with the lives Of British SOL
uiers and imperilling British honor and
prestige. From the dispatches OF Sir Eve
Nh Barring, British Minister to Egypt, it is
Sno"h lhat lie has perSistently urged the
appointment OF Zobehr Pasha rs Governor
OF the Sondan, because in his opinion.
as IN That OF General Gordon. Zobehr
IS the only man who could have
paclhed the country and secured pro-
tect'on Tor the commercial and other in
terests OF British residents there. This
ADVICE was given TO the Government i'm
consequence OF request by Mr.. Gladstone
ior Sir Evelyn Barring 10 suggest feasible
method for pacifying the soudan, but it
met with no response from London save q
tardy request for more information regard
ing Iobehr Pasha and his probable plan Of
operations. Sir Evelyn furnished this in
formation rs fully as was in his power. and
then. chatng under the slowness and ap-
parent indifference Of the Government, he
began to strenuOusly urge Zobehr's ap-
polntment, but received no answer
The dispatches also show that Sir EVELYN
Barring, az long ago as last February,
urged the sending OF Il British force to
Berber To enable the garrison there to hold
the position and to establish English Brit
ish prestige on the Nile as well as on the
Red Sea coast. These suggestions were
never acted upon and the danger was lightly
and rather contemporary treated in the
replies received from the Foreign Office. In
Fact. the general tone OF Lord Granyillc's
dispatches is one OF cynical talmneSS and
they make very unpleasant reading in view
OF the disasters which have already be-
fallen the Nile garIisOns and which seem
likely 70 eliminate the overthrow OF Gen
Cral Gordon aud a wholesale massacre OF
British and Egyptian troops and people.
The portions OF the Blue Book which
relate to the action OF the continental Pow
erS on the Egyptian question are some
what important. The reports from Berlin.
Paris, and Rome show that Prince Bis
mlrck has been cndcavOring TO arrange IN
understanding between Germany, France,
and Italy for conference, distinct from
the one proposed by England, and which
was to have for ITS object the squirting OF
England into the adoption OF a more visor-
Gus policy in Egypt. \ section OF French
puzzle opinion, however, saw in this prop
Osition device OF Bismarck'S to embr0il
France in hostilities with England, and
this fact initiates against the completion Of
the triparite entente which Bismarck had
almost established.
