Clarence House is one of the most
comfortable houses in London. and is
famous for its good beds, for the only
daughter Of Alexander ii. of Russia
is. like many Muscovite ladies, very
particular about her beds, and will
tolerate in her house none but the very
best. Even when mere child, and
long lbefore her marriage, she was so
particular about this very important
item in domestic comfort that to in
sure the sheets being tightly stretched
over the mattress. she used to have
them sewn down, for even the slightest
crease or wrinkle would entirely de-
stroy the repose of this imperial spoilt
child for the night
Her Royal Highness used to
greatly chaffed about this weakness by
members of our royal family when first
she came to this country. but the
Queen, who is also very particular
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 over 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 a fine art.
Acurious and amusing chapter might
indeed be written about the beds OF
illustrious personages. Theex-Empress
Eugenie is quite as particular about
her beds as the Duchess OF Edinburgh
or our Gracious Sovereign. and quite
agrees with the first-named lady as
to the fineness of the linen and the
tightness of the drawing of the sheets,
but Her Imperial Majesty has an odd
fancy to have her bed. so low as to give
a visitor to the Imperial bedchamber
the impression that the widow OF
Cesar is almost sleeping on the floor.
1t is indeed hardly elevated more than
a foot from the floor, as all who have
visited in old days the private apart
ments at St Cloud. Compiegne and the
Tuileries will remember. Another
curious bed is that of Sarah Bernhardt.

posed and receives her intimate friends

Hundred Persons Injured.


Hundred Persons Injured.
LYNcHBURG, VA, July IA fearful
accident occurred on the Norfolk and
Western railroad yesterday morning.
thirty-one miles above the city. Rain
had been falling almost continuously,
and at times very heavily, for twenty
four hours, swelling the mountain
streams greatly beyond their normal
state. At the place of the accident the
water had undermined the rcadbed
and caused washout about eighty
feet long and fifty feet wide. The
water at this point was eight to ten feet
deep. Into this watery gulch the engine
made a frightful leap while running at
the rate Of thirty miles an hour, carry
ing with it the tender and eight cars.
As the engine struck bottom the rushing
of the water into the locomotive ex-
ploded the boilers This fact greatly
augmented the eatastrope. Debris was
thrown in every direction by the force
OF the explosion, injuring some OF those
on the train by flying fragments and
scattering firebrands which ignited the
woodwork of the coaches. The flames
spread and destroyed a large amount Of
mail and express matter, besides spread
ing panic among the already terror
stricken passengers. 1t is supposed that
some OF the passengers were unable to
extricate themselves from the wreck and
were consumed in the flames, but it is
difficult to get accurate information, as
