The Lord High Chancellor plays an i'm
p0rtant part in state ceremonies, when he
appears in wig, red robes and an ermne
cape about his neck; he IS accompanied by
his train bearer, the Seal of England being
borne before him in crimson cover em-
broidered with the arms of England. He it
is who. now that the Queen has ceased to
deliver the speech on the opening of Par
lament in person, reads it TO bOtn houses
in the presence ofsthe Speaker, who wears
Il rich black brOcaded satin robe, which also
requires train-bearer. His Insignia of
Office is the mace, that huge golden scepter
with crown at the top, which plays so
conspicuous part in the proceedings of the
House of Commons. The Ministers State
robes are g0ld-embroidered dress coats, the
collars coming high up in the neck.
No state ceremonial of the day seems
complete now without the Beefeaters or
Yoemen of the Guard, who wear still the
quaint Tudor garb which was in vogue
when Henry VII first raised the corps at
his coronation. The Scarlet-skirted coat,
trimmed with black and gold, has the
crown of England and the Tudor emblem
embroidered on the breast; red, blue and
white rosettes appear on the shoes and at
round the low-crowned, black velvet hat,
and a ruff is worn about the neck. Their
name Of Beefeater is attributed to vul-
garity of Henry VIII. In the disguise OF
one OIL these guards the Durly monarch
Toasted, after a days hunt, with the
Abbot of Reading. who. amazed at his
appetite, declared he would give e100
to be SO hungry. Accordingly, few
days after, the King caused him to
be imprisoned and kept day or So
on bread and water, until he was able to do
justice to q joint of beef. While he was
enjoying it the merry sovereign demanded
the e100, which was duly paid. They line
the rooms and staircases of the palace at
drawing-r0oms, etc., aided by the Gentle
men-at-Arms. a corps instituted by Henry
VIII. disbanded during the civil wars, but
subsequently reconstructed. Their uniform
is crimson and gold, with gold helmets aud
white, waving pluIues, and they carry small
battle-axes covered with crimson velvet.
Such are some of the outward symbols of
court splendor. 1t was the great Napoleon

Work is being prosecuted vigorously at
the Samish Lake Coal Company's coal
mine. As depth is reached at the tunnel,
the vein widens and the coal becomes
harder. The ledge at last reports was
seven and half feet wide, about six feet
of this is solid coal. the remaining foot
and a half is Of slate formation. Con-
tracts have been let for the construction
OF coal bunkers and the company expect
to ship coal into Fairhaven within the
next three weeks.
A gentleman in the city from San
Francisco stated that he had interviewed
number Of the most prominent coal
dealers of that city and they were all
unanimous in stating that the future coal
supply for not only san Francisco but for
all the coast would come from Washing
ton. Last winter San Francisco suffered
severely from a coal famine. Fairhaven
will be the source of supply for the en-
tire coast a. it Is the most convenient
