what the Queen Reads.

A friend OF mine who had the enfree
at Windsor Castle the past summer gives
me (says correspondent some inter.
esting facts concerning the Queens liter
aYy tastes. Despite the many things
which continually claim her attention,
Queen Victoria manages to spend consid-
erable time in reading. When Anthony
Trollope was alive she spent good por,
ton of her spare moments in reading his
novels. She was an ardent admirer OF
his, and he left no successor in her atfec-
tions. The Queen has well-stocked
library in each of her palaces, and often
speads several hours day among her
books. She occasionally skins
through the magazines and illus
trated weeklies. She subscribes for
the Graphic, St. Stephens Review,
Illustrated London NeaDs, Daily
NeDs, and half q dozen or more relig-
ious and semi-religious papers. These
she reads carefully, and is quite we'll in
scores of books and pamphlets that are
sent to her in the course of every month
she rarely, If ever, sees. They are
taken charge of by the lackeys before
they get into the presence of royalty,
duu arc clbuoT 6tOT0U III ClObotb Ut are
purloined by the servants. Only
when book has made a big hit, or is
widely advertised, and the Queen asks
for it, is it given to her. She still finds
pleasure in Trollope's novels. Tenny-
son is her living idol. Walter Besant is
another writer whose works stir the
aged monarch, and Mrs. Humphrey
Wards "Robert Elsmere" was read
not once, but twice. She has met
many American writer's in her day,
but is not acquainted to any ex-
tent with their work. She saw a good
deal Of James Russell Lowell when he
was Minister to England, and told him
once that she read with great in
,terest his "Bigelow Papers," though
1t must have been more or less like
sanscrit to her majesty, for it is said that
her sense of humor is not the most
acute. She sees few, if any, American
newspapers. She likes Browning and
Swinburne, ,Ssnd the merry jingle Of Aus.
tin Dobson's verse interests her. But oi
all the poets, there is none who has
made 80 deep an impression upon her
heart of hearts as Robert Burns. Like
all the rest of the world. she has laughed
and cried with the unfortunate Ayr.

THE City Council will meet again tod

The City Council will meet again today
to wrestle with the question of retrench-
ment. So far that body has not been
very successful in it's wrestling. 1t has
started in at this department and that
department without reaching anything
very practical or satisfactory. Suppose
It should now try its own department,
and commence by cutting down the sal
aries OF councilmen, cay one-half or
three gu arters? That would look as il
they really meant business, and the
members of other departments might
take grace of heart from their example
and consent to liberal salary cuts also.
We throw this out in, Q friendly way as a
feeler, so to speak.

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Mr. Huntington Before the Special
Com Inittee.

WASHINGTON, January go. p.
Huntington, Vice. President of the Gen.
trail Pacific railroad, appeared before
the House Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads, and favored an extension of the
time allowed for the settlement of the
Indebtedness of the Central Pacific Rally
road Company, and reduction of thie 5
interest to. be paid the Government, .
proposed in the Vandever bill. Hunt
ington was aaked, and replied to many
questions by members of the committee.
The bill he favored, he said, was
known as the Omnibus bill. It differed
from the Cultivate Union Pacific bill in
making the period of settlement every
twenty-five years instead of every fifty
years. The State interest to be paid is
~ per cent as against per cent for the
Union. With reasonable allowance of
time the Central Pacific would pay its
debt, he said. 1t would pay during tie
next ten years more than double the sum
it now pays under the Thurman act.
