EXECUTIVE MANSION, wAsHrssroy, Aug. l, 1855
DEAR SIR: 1 have read your letter OF the
oath ult. with amazement and indignation.
There is but one mitigation to the perfidy
which your letter discloses, and that Is found
in the fact that you confess your share in it
1 don't know whether you are Democrat
or not but If you are the crime you confess
is the more objectionable. The idea that
this administration, pledged to give the peo-
pie better government and better officers,
and engaged in hand-to-hand fight with
the bad elements of both parties, should be
betrayed by those who ought to be worthy OF
implicit trust, is a'rocious and such treason
to the people and to the party ought to be
punished by imprisonment
Your confession comes too late to be OF im-
mediate use TO the public service, and l can
only say that while this is not the first time
/ have been deceived and misled by lying
and treacherous representations, you are the
first one that has 80 frankly owned his griev-
Gus fault If any comfort is to be extracted
from this assurance you are welcome TO it.
Yours truly.

1t was the brightest, most sparkling
morning imaginable. The sea was blue
in the distance, but molten gold where
the Halcyon sprang through the sun
shine which lay across Torferry bay.
Kate Verey and Gerard Anstey were
leaning against the side, watching the
clean furrow she left along the smooth
water-at least, the girls eyes wan
dered along the track, but the mans
were fixed upon her face. Mrs.
Verey, with her pillows and
novels, was piled conveniently
out Of hearing. Captain Anstey
was . masterful-looking man. He was
evidently having his say-the say
which he had come all the way from
Scotland to shave out" with Kate
Verey, and very soon both her hands
found their way into his, and her eyes
roved no longer along the sunlit fur
row, but looked straight up into his
dark face, and the compact was COM
pleted. Presently he puts his hand
into his waiscost pocket and draws
forth tiny parcel-a diamond ring
with broad gold setting.

FREDENSBORG.
A Pretty Picture of ROYAL Family Life.

Pretty Picture OF NOUN f"nis A'o'
Fredensborg, the Danish Versailles,
which the Prince and Princess of Wales
and the Russian imperial family recent
ly visited. is large white palace built
By King Frederick ". in the French
style. 1t is situated in a magnificent
park, and surrounded by picturesque
scenery. If its exterior is not so i'm
posing as that Of its French sister, yet
it has several times been the meeting
place of more crowned heads than the
gorgeous royal residence Of Louis
XIV. ever saw. 1t may be interesting
to the English public to learn some
thing about the daily life Of SO many
illustrious personages, said London
Neus correspondent. The Danish royal
family, with their royal guests, are
living quite en- famille, with as little
court ceremony as possible. From 8
to Q O'Clock in the morning the break
fast-table is laid, to which every one
comes when he likes. The Emperor Of
Russia, who does not like to get up
early, never shows himself at this meal,
which he eats in his own room. At l
o'clock lunch is served, and of this
meal all the royal personages partake.
After lunch they ride-sOme on horse
back and some in carriages
round about the charming coun-
try in the vicinity, while some
prefer to take a trip in the boats on the
lake of Esrom. At 6 o'clock dinner is
served, and covers are laid for fifty
persons, as some of the gentlemen and
ladies of the court always partake OF
this meal, together with the royal fam
lily. After dinner the royal family re-
main together till tea is served at about
9 o'clock, and then every one withdraws
to his own apartments. The Emperor
of Russia usually works until very
late at night, and twice week
courier brings dispatches to
him from st. Petersburg. While
the representatives, of crowned heads
at present are very numerous
at Fredensborg, the representatives of
royal youths and children are still more
numerous, and the little English and
Russian princes and princesses play to-
gether with their Danish cousins all the
day long in the palace and in the park.
The three nations appear to agree re-
markably well but if now and then,
which is very seldom, they have little
difference, tits always grandmother "
they come to, and grandmother-that is,
Queen Louise Of Denmark--does allin her
powerto contribute to the happiness Of
her grandchildren of different nations.
The present meeting at Fredensborg is
not . meeting Of that kind which dis
turbs the equilibrium Of Europe and
causes the stocks on the bourses to go
up and down. 1t is meeting Of one
great family visit of children to
their father and mother, where they all
wish not to remember that they are
emperors and kings, but only that they
are human beings and all belong to one
family.

to think about, and then take him to
the cake-shop in Torferry, and give him
a feed to make up. Or I'll tip him, If

But these liberal ideas of consolation
fail to comfort Kate for her careless
treatment of her poor young friend.
She feels as if chill-cloud had sud-
denly come over the perfect day, and
again and again her thoughts will recur
to poor Harry's disappointment, in

Five hundred Missouri Colonies
who hava been at Washington for
the past fortnight arranging things
for the democratic administration,
have returned to the bosoms of their
constituencies well nigh worn out
and discouraged. So far the admin
i~stratiop seems to have forgotten
that next to Kentucky, Missouri is
the abode Of more unadalterated
democracy than any other state in
the union. The doctrine Of civil
service reform had not reached her
meridian and she was wholly unpre-
pared for the consequences.

The democrats profes: to be very
much pleased over the dismissal of a
number Of clerks in Washington for
economy's sake. But have they
stopped to think that this reduces
their own chances Of appointment
just that much? If present incum-

abolishing the places they hold, it is
difficult to see how the o~ficc-seeker
is going to be benefited in the
premises.
