A Scotch baker named Cameron, in

London for the first time. had known
him well in America, and had stopped to
see him in the English metropolis. We
had, however, letters to his daughters, and
thew gave us dinner. Mrs. Leslie Stephen
was then alive, and we met the gifted Anne
Thackeray and her sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
Justice Stephen, and Doyle, the famous
caricaturist of Punch, at that table. Miss
Thaekeray, then just beginning her very
honorable career, was pronounced the most
agreeable woman in England, title she
has deserved ever since. She was so cheer
full. so bright, so hOspitable, she made us
feel at home, and asked for every item Of
information that we could give her of the
dear father whose visit 10 America had in
terested him and them so much. She asked
particularly about the original Of Ethel
Newcomb. the lamented and beautiful
Lallie Baxter, who married Mr.. Hampton,
and died during our civil war at Charles

After dinner Miss Thackeray received a
note. It was to tell her of the success at a

Venice, with the cleaning boats beside

was playing softly all the airs from '9tello,
81 Duo Fosrari" and other Venetian things;
and so the Empress, whose pale, handsome
lace and red hair l saw plainly from my
gQndOla, spent her evening in Venice.
Lord Houghton was with her, and he al
terward told me that she ordered in Venice
a dress made after the portrait OF Catarlna
CoTnaro, Queen of Cyprus, in the Aeea-
demia, which she wore at the ball given by
N. de Lesseps at Suez.
Poor woman! this was the last of her glO-
ries. The next year came Sedan, with down.
fall and ruin, loss of husband, loss OF son.
She is our Lady of Vicissitudes.
During the most brilliant days of the
Queens jubilee in London in 1887 saw the
Empress once more, tall, pale, White
haired woman in deep mourning, attended
by one gentleman and one lady. She came

the dresses of these royal ladies or more
democratic than their demeauor.
The royalty who impressed AK most
favorably was perhaps George, King of
Greece, who made long stay there in 1889.
He Is a plain man, not so handsome as the
brother OF the Princess of Wales ought to be,
but man of very fine manners. He has a
Bingularly amiable character, and on the oc-
casion OF fete given to him by Dr. Bracelet
he appeared most gracious.
One thing l have noticed In all royalty.
They are simpler than other people, and
only desire to be let alone.
Imay mention here two rather picturesque
interviews with the Empress Eugenie. The
first one at Venice in 1869, when she was on
her way to the Suez Canal to open it for M,
de Lesseps, her cousin.
She arrived there in her own Yacht. the
Aigie, and we saw her from the windows of
DamiellPs Hotel pacing up and down the
deck, a Queenly figure. Indeed the Empress
Eugene, who was not royalty. looked
more like one than any have seen born in
the purple. She was physically so hand
some and what we call ''aristocratic-lOok-
ing" that she seemed every inch Queen
