Out of Windsor.

The Campbell Case Evidence Ruled
Out of Windsor.
LONDON, Dec. 10.--The Queen has for.
hidden the admission into the household
OF Windsor Castle, or within the castle
precincts, OF newspapers containing re,
ports OF the Campbell divorce case.
Lady Colin Campbell took the witness
box to-day. She entered it amid profound
silence. She was very pale, and testified
in a slow, distinct voice. She said that
until the family meeting at Thurloa
square, in 1885, she had exchanged let.
ters daily with her husband when absent.
Before their marriage Lord Colin asked
her II she would consent, when married,
to their occupying separate rooms. She
consented, and Lord Colin asked her mol
to divulge the fact that he had made this
request, but she insisted upon telling her
mother.
HIS ILLNESS UNKNOWN TO HER.
The nature of his illness was unknown
to her until May, 1888. She never pressed
Lord Colin to marry her, but ner mother
disliked long engagements. Lady Colin
said she was educated In italy aud spoke
Italian and French before she learned the
English language. She sang, painted
and wrote books. bhe was also a Jour,
nalist. She sang at forty charity concerts,
not one OF which Lord Colin attended,
She taught night classes OF factory girls,
visited the poor In the day time and
served soup for two hours and worked
daily among the poor OF Saffron hill.
Lord Colin knew OF every engagement
and OF her work among the poor, and he
never objected. She went into society
alone at her husbands express wish.
CoNCEALING HIS CONDITION.
In order that the fact of his illness
should be unknown he wished 1t under.
stood that he was engaged in the House
OF Commons. She became Ill in five days
after the contamination OF the marriage
and was never free from symptoms until
1885. a year after her separation from
Lord Colin. She denied broadly every
allegation ofunfaithful conduct as a wife,
or that she had ever used profanity IN
speaking TO servants. Much OF the testi-
mony given against her she characterized
as wholly false. and she gave explanation
Of such parts as related TO admitted facts.
Lady Campbell gave her evidence with
perfect cOmpOsure and the fullest self
possession. She gave ready responses TO
the questions asked. She wore a plain
blue serge dress and black bonnet. Her
whole style was that of simple legance.
She Is tall, 1.-the and shapely i has full
black glowing eyes with a clear palld
complexion.

to his constituents" came into
conversation with all eminent Yer
mont lady, who had taken up her
residence in the .'backwoodS.' OF
course tile school and former teach
Ell came in for criticism, aud the
old lady, in speaking OF his prede-
cessor, asked:
"Wa'all, m lister, what do YOU
think he learned the schOlars?"
81 couldn't say, ula'am. Pray
what did he teachl"
"Wa'all, he told 'em this ere arth
was round. What do you think OF
such stuff"
Unwilling to come under the
category OF the ignorant, the teach
er evasivelv remarked:
sit does seem strange, b,t still
there are many learned men who
teach these things
"W.l'all," says she, Isif the arth
is round, and goes round, what
holds it up?"
'.Oh, these learned men say that
it goes round the sun, aud the sun
holds IT up by virtue ofatGractiun."
The old lady lowered her specs,
and by way OF climax responded:
"Wa'alI, if these high larnt men
SEE the sun holds up the arth, l
should like to know what holds the
arth up when the sun goes DOWN.
