AGOOD STORY OF LORD MELBOURNE,
THE PRIME MINISTER, .

In the days when Prince Albert had
come to WOO the Queen of England the
crowd of people who wished to catch a
glimpse of royalty as it promenaded
upon the terrace at Windsor Castle was
greatly increased by reason of the gener-
al interest in the young couple. One
day a HoTkshireman who had been de
termined to get good look at the Queen
appeared at the gates by which the spec
tators were usually admitted and thus
accosted a man, footman evidently,
who was at that moment crossing the
courtyard:
"LOok here, John, Robert, whatever
they calliyou, COON from the country"
$50 i hear" said the footman.
"Well, I've never seen Z Queen, and
want to get a good sight of her. Now,
can't you Just let me through them gates,
Just afore t rest o. T. folksf | want TO
get good place, you see.'
"Wel SIR" said the man, Il don't
know whether dare, l might lose my
place,you see."
Nay, mum, thou'll never lose thy
place for such a thing as that. Thou
can say to Z Queen that she hasn't got

want to go in just afore t rest on EN-, "
"Well, come along, then" said the
man. He opered the gate and the eager
Yorkshire man rushed through. AS he
did 80 and idea seemed to strike him,
and he stopped to tender the footman
half crown.
mo, thank you, SIR" said the man;
I'VE are forbidden to take fees.
The Yorkshreman secured a foremost
place, and in due time appeared the
Queen and Prince. More than that, con
versing famillarIy with her MPjesty was
the footman,

visitor TO bystander. Hes a laugh
ing and talking to t. Queen like any
thing!' ......... e.

"Why, t chap that opened me the
gate-L' footman-him with the blue

When the listeners laughter would
allow him to speak, he explained:.

me your note and l guess can get it

Gratified beyond measure, Choate sat
down to write his note.

in an offhand way, you might as well
make that note for thousand, as can

and he signed not for an even thou

Or. Editor: The ladies who man

urday evening, June 18th, for the
benefit of Conemaugh Valley suf-
ferers, desire to express through the
columns of your paper, the indigna-
ton they feel at an article published
in the State G0=ette, June 21st. In
work done for charitable purposes
severe criticism is always out OF
place. The first intimation of any
movement towards an entertain
ment, was notice in your paper
of the 18th, and SO energetic and
prompt was the response from our
benevolent people, that on Saturday
evening the 18th, there was given
in Hooff's Opera House, one of the
most pleasant and profitable enter
tainments ever enjoyed in our city.

notified of their duties till late

ingly read by her daughter, had
only two days in which to write,

To hide behind the privilege of a
newspaper license to vent spite and

the attack is directed against a

such despicable meanness that we
