,,~y MILLIONS LAID UP FOR
A RAINY DAY.

,o,-DOS. Sent. I9.-One or two Engllsn
s,aners are discussing the probable
cunt of the Queens private fortune.
r-,ira one puts 1t as low as million and
balf pounds sterling, the editor OF Iruth
agons that 1t cannot be less than four
nons. He says the Prince Consorts
e.,,ne alone, with "a years interest,
nst he considerably over million and
s.Ir besides which the money left to the
n'oon nv a Mr. e. j. Neild, and carefully
W., aside to accumulate, cannot be less
/ KAN six hundred thousand pounds. Then
Sora are the savings on Her Maiesty's
.,lv allowance of three hundred and
= s,b+v-fve thousand pounds, commenced
fsl and a good round sum derived
1.or the large surplus on the revenue
worry wear. for though the privy purse is
. ,,osad TO be limited to sixty thousand
G a .1,ods wear, Truth thinks this is but
,lossant fiction, because the large sur
uses have never been repaid into
ha treasury, and can only
have gone to tn e privy purse.
THE THRONES WEALTH.
y Another paper enters into a long dis
ms.ion about there being no fear Of the
VI
mo Oueen will not leave everything to the
~ pri,ce of Wales. 1t is well known that
II 49, Prince OF Wales is not to benefit by
his mothers testamentary dispositions.
The Duke of Edinburgh and the Crown
a prince of Germany are not to be the prlyI-
| - io5ed ones either. The principal inheri-
tors are to be the Duke of Connaught( the
"A Il Queens faYorite SOM and Princess
Roatrice. and there will be ample proYis-
ion for the families of the late Duke OF

,be other day police constable was
awarded f25 damages from an innkeeper,
whose bull TERROR had bitten him severely.

been bitten ne was refused compensation

THE NEWSPAPERS ARE STILL FILLED
with the announcement that the Eliza
Armstrong inquiry is proceeding at Bow
Street police court. The mode of lite in
s. Charles street has been laid bare by
Nmeans of sharp cross-eXaminatiOn of wit
nesses for both the prosecution and the
Y Mdetence Most Of the witnesses seemed
more afraid Of Mr.. Stead's questioning
Js than they did of that of the professional
"a #e0unse themselves. The "chief director
HOf the secret commission" as the editor
20 M6the PdU Val Gazette calls himself, in
ltl connection with the case, is clearly q
man quite capable of conducting his own
case and his defence is eagerly awaited
He attributes his quickness Of wits in
ess great measure to a practice his father,
BAPTIST minister, had of making his chill
iren discuss scriptural texts at the Sun
oc day morning breakfast table. Each child
had to repeat verse learned by heart,
and all the others had to give his or
her Interpretation OF 1t. The elder
ones cOntriYed to raise almost all the is
:. sues of religion and morality in these
n weekly discussions" and, says Mr.. Stead,
~ 81 have never had such consciousness OF
e mental activity, although l have dis
Cussed face to face with the foremost men
oc Of the day" At 81 he was editor of the
II Northern Echo, which he left to ioin the
50 staff Of the Pail Mail Gazette. Mr.. Stead
il not the cleverest, is certainly the most
$50 Il Menterprising English editor. The story Of
his visit to the King of the Belgians illus
s. Is trates his energetic boldness of character.
Wishing much TO talk over that monarch's
Congo scheme with him, and being as
sured by member of the Belgian govern
N ment that, if properly introduced, he
ii would be received, he took it upon him
y, to telegraph to the King, and, not wait
ing for reply, set of for Brussels on d
SA Saturday, saw King Leopold, talked over
$50 the Congo affair with him on Sunday
morning, and on Monday morning early
ID" was back on NOrthum bland street. On
Monday afternoon full account Of the
n Interview appeared in the PAU Mall Ga

els TO JUDGE BY HER PARENTS,
the much.talked-of Eliza must have had a
H~ lively h0me to which the Salvation Army
M roo l...e a
'~' lalner was once mllitiaman, and though
ne has given up the noble profession of
lal arms,he keeps his hand in by occasionally
,,t noorng his betRr half. That sharp
'A' engued lady doubtless gives him plenty
lUt oI excuse for the exercise of his prOwess,
aod IN this matter of the girps alleged
Oh abduction had acted in direct defiance of
DIS expressed wish that Eliza should not
acIept any situation, but stay at home
and mind the baby.''
One OF the penalties that attend noto-
lety Is the sudden discovery of an uTi-
expected multitude OF relations. Some
Imes they are alive, and generally in
&c. Il @Snt OF money. An American paper
pu0hshes the following: "While Will
