do not understand us as attending Her
Maiesty's Drawing Room, to which, no
doubt, we would have been urgently in
vited had II. X. H. been advised of our
presence. but we have always had a
strong dislike to pigeon-tail coat, and
learning that Her Most Gracious NJ. pre-
ferred that her male guests should be so
adorned, we decided to spare her the dis
appointment she would feel al not seeing
us by not sending our card, and begging
our professional brethren OF the Times,
Graphic, etc, etc, to make aSlIttlc notice
as possible of our presence. In this way
we trust Her Majesty will be spared the
modification she would otherwise endure.
But we attended court at her royal pal
ace of Windsor, taking advantage of her
absence thcrcirOm to slip i'll, incOg. as it
were, and so successful were our efforts
that scarcely any of the red coated lack
evs recognized us, and those who did,
observing our wish, allowed us to pass,
with the simple request that we should
leave behind our cane, ovcrcoat, etc, etc,
that they might inspect them studiously
during our call.
The stupendouS size of the castle is fully
appreciated in the view afforded as we
approach by train and as VIC ascend the
hill on which it is located. A description
bv mctcs and bounds, so many feet by SO
many feet, would give you no idea at all
oft Perhaps, though you may bc i'll
tcrcsted to hear that from the summit of
the central round tower, looking down
over the whole expanse of stone buildings
we were told, and believe, that below us
were the tops Of over 900 chimncys, all
leading from the various apartments of
this palace perhaps this may account
for the extremely smoky state of things
which here seems to pcrvade all nature,
physical, political, moral and
PHYSICAL as evidenced by a London fog
which now seems to threaten us; pOlt1-
cal, as observed i'll the way in which these
ucOplc circle around their Queen, very
much resembling swarm OF bees; moral,
vcs, with all the boasted civilization OF
The established church, its huge chapcls,
abbeys, cathedrals, we have never seen
ANYTHING tD approach the absolute aban-
donment to disgusting lcwdness which
icrvadcs the dimIy lighted streets, even
under the shadow OF the great st. Paul S;

of past ages rather than grasping the
