carriage returning to town. The queen
drives herself. Her son, in the dress of
colonel, salutes her in military fash
ion. and the queen in recognition waves
her hand.
A little while ago, when King Milan
was driving with his son, the two mon
archs CHANGED to pass the queen, but
Oh perceiving his ex-majesty she
turned away her head, and the salute
was not returned. King Alexander is
in constant correspondence with his
father, and writes either in Servian or
French. These letters are not alto
gether witeout political insignificance.
Queen Nathalie receives large num-
Der of visitors, and her salons are the
resort of politicians of ali shades and
parties. Occasionally she is present at
the theater, where she occupies the
court box, but this only happens when
it is known that King Alexander will
not attend the play.
Cars Widowed Stepmother.
Princess Jouriewsky, says Dispatch
correspondent, writing from st. Peters
burg, is still beautiful women, but she
is growing stout, and her once pretty
face shows traces of intense suffering.
The magnificent brown hair, with the
golden reflections, she cut herself and
placed in the cZar's coffin, but her chief
beauty even now is hair of a brighter
shade simply worn la Chinoise. The
princess is obliged to wear blue
glasses in broad daylight because
of some eye difficulty. When in
Paris every day she may be seen
driving in the Bots de Boulogne, but
she only attracts attention by the
splendor Of her liveried servants. Her
only care is the education of her chill
dren. George, the eldest, is seventeen
years old. but tall and very stout: he
follows course of study arranged by
the car long before his death. Princess
| Olga is about fourteen years old, and
| little Catherine is the only member of
the family who can bring smile to the
mothers face. A short time ago there
was much excitement because Princess
JourleWSky was supposed to have pub
llShed her "reminiscences. However,
that story has been cOntradicted, and
do not believe the princess will ever
write the memoirs OF her life.
In 1.-THE Mantle of Dickens.
A friend of mine writes me from Lon
don that Farieon, the English novelist,
| is soon to visit America, says Edward
Box, in the Philadelphia Times. When
| Charles Dickens died and FarjeOn came
| mantle of "BoZ" had fallen on the
| younger mans shoulders. but time has
not added much to his early reputation,
| although he is one of the shining lights
| i'll English literary circles, splendid
| StOry-teller and charming fellow.
The novelist has many ties which
bind him to America. OF his three
brothers, one is in business in New
York city and another is in California.
Both his father and mother rest in
American graves, and MIR. FarjeOn
wooed and won an American bride,
Margaret, the daughter of Joseph JEFF
fersOn, the actor. Mr.. Farjeon was born
III London about fifty-tve years ago.
There has just been completed in
Southern Africa a railroad of about 150
miles in length, starting from ColeSberg,
in the Colony of the Cape OF Good Hope,
entering the Free State of Orange at
NOrvals Bridge, and thence to
its terminus at the capital of that
country, Bloemfontein. The establish
ment Of the railroad to Bloemfontein,
says the New York World, is step
quite important in the political develop
ment OF this country, and the South AT
ricanS are looking forward to the time
as not far distant when all this vast ter
ritory will be one republican confeder-
alton. The inhabitants now of the free
states are Dutch and English. They
seem to agree very well, and in many
cases the families have intermarried.
The Free State of Orange is the smaller
of the three, but its progress is more
advanced than that of Transvaal. 1t

the past few years and is in high STATE

president judge of the supreme court at
Bloemfontein in 1874. and was placed at
the head of the government of the Ere e
States in 1874 by unanimous vote. His
present wife is a Dutch woman of high
literary distinction. She has founded at
Bloemfontein library and club, in
which ladies discuss the latest literary
productions of Europe and America.
