A Valuable Pack OF Cards.

From Golden Days.
A pack of playing cards-said to be
the only one of the kind in existence
sold at auction, In Birmingham,
England, not long ago, for $3.50.
Every card is specially engraved, and
the pack comprises an exhaustive
pictorial history of the principal
events in the reign of Queen Anne
down to 1706. They include the vic
tories of Marlborough, the sea fights
of Admiral Benbow, all the various,
changes connected with the parlia-
mentary proceedings of the day, and
the conclusions of the treaties between
England, France and Spain.
The queen Of hearts is very we'll
drawn picture of Queen Ann herself,
and the Ring of hearts represents
Prince George of Denmark, her hus.
band. The queen of diamonds is Anne
Sophia, queen OF Denmark; the queen
of clubs is the Princess Royal of
Prussia, and the queen of spades is
the Princess Anne of Russia. The
knaves are represented by leading
politicians of the day.
This curious pack was the occasion
of much spirited bidding between per-
sons who held commissions for the
purchase. Had tn cards gone to one
of these the London Art Gallery
would have eventually received tn EN-!
AS it is, their destination is Shrop-
shire.
