Some Royal Beds.

Clarence house, the residence of the duch.
 es of Edinburgh, is one of the most comfort able housss in London, and is famous for its good beds, for the only daughter of Alexan- der II, of Russia is like many Moscovite
 ladies, very particular about her beds, and
 will tolerate in her house none but the very
 best. Even when a mare child, and long be-
 fore her marriage, she was 80 particular
 about this very important item of domestic
 comfort that, to insure the sheets being tight
 ly stretched over the mattress, she used to
 have them sewn down, for even the slightest
 crease or wrinkle would entirely destroy the
 repose of this imperial spoilt child for the
 night.
 Her royal highness used to be greatly chaf-
 fed about this weakness by members of our royal family when first she came to this country, but the queen, who is also very par ticular about her beds, stuck up for her, and although now the sheets are no longer sewn down to the mattress, they are composed of the most exquisitely fine linen that can be procured, and stretched like tight rope ov- CT the most perfect mattresses that can be manufactured in Paris, in which capital the making of mattresses has been brought up to the level of fine art.
 A curious and amusing chapter might in deed be written about the beds of 1ustrou. personages. The ex-Empress Eugenie if quite as particular about her beds as the duchess of Edinburgh or our gracious sover- eign, and quite agrees with the frst-named lady as to the fneness of the linen and the tightness of the sheets, but her imperial majesty has an odd fancy to have her bed go low as to give visitor to the imperial bedehamber the impression that the widow of Ceasar is almost sleeping on the floor. It is indeed hardly elevated more than a foot
 from the floor, as all who have visited in old
 days the private apartments at St. Cloud,

THE FIGHTING seGRANGRRs.,


 All holders of or spectators in railroad stocks are deeply interested in the situation "out Vest" Not long ago there was "an agreement between gentlemen" that there should be no moro wicked and wasteful rate cutting. But the Chicago and Alton road claims that the St. Paul line has surrepti- tiously seized upon business that did not be- long to that road and would not have been obtained but for secret and unlawful discrim- nations. The Alton has the shorter line be- tween the two cities, and claims to be handi- capped by the association regulations, which are designed to help it's rivals rather than it. self. The president of the St. Paul road rises and remarks that all of his company'e books and papers are open to inspection, and all his company's officers and agents may be examined under oath. He asks that the Interstate association avail themselves o1 this means of investigation before assuming that the St. Paul company ha9 violated the agreement. and the request is certainly req sonable. This course is all the more requi- site since 1t is an admitted fact that the St. Paul road has been getting two or three times it's share of the live stock traffic be. tween the points named, although its facili- ties for doing the business are not as good as those of some Of it's competitors.
 The issue has thus been squarely defined, and we ought to know soon whether or not the "sgreement between gentlemen ' amounts to anything. It would be very dis eouraging if the old fight between the vest ern roads should be reopened, but the indi- cations are that 1t will be very difficult to prevent it.

PRORIRITION CAmPAIGNs.

Two important prohibition campaigns come to an end this week, one in Pennsyl- vania and the other in Rhode Island. The vote was taken in Pennsylvania yesterday and in Rhode Island they will vote to-mor- row. The defeat of the amendment in Pennsylvania by 8 large majority has all along been considered certain, and the re- ports thus far received indicate that the af- fair has turned out as it was expected to. It is also expected that the amendment will be repealed in Rhode Island. It has been on the statute books for three years and has been notorious failure, though there has been an honest and impartial desire among the influential portion of the citizens to find out what prohibition can really do toward restricting and regulating the liquor traffic and promoting temperance and sobriety. The general testimony is that it has done al- most nothing in Rhode Island.
 This is evidently not good year for pro- hibition. Already it is expected that Con- neeticut will vote against prohibition, and even some of the prohibitionists themselves are acknowledging the futility of trying to
