At Windsor over Night.


There have been "dine and sleeD visitors
at Windsor Castle every day during the Queens
residence there, but the list Of people to be
asked, exclusive OF the royal official and diplo-
matte guests, is so long that there will have to
be another succession during her Maiesty's
next sojourn there in order 10 clear ID of. The
invitations are usually sent out by Sir John
Cowell (Often by telegraml, and as a rule only
a few hours notice is given. The guests are
expected to arrive in time to dress for dinner.
and they leave after breakfast the next morn
ing. The rule is for guests to appear in the
corridor in full dress at $780, the dinner hour
being S:45, and the Queen comes in from her
own apartments just as the clocks chime the
quarter, bows to the company and proceeds
into the Oak Room, where dinner is served.
After it is over the company usually stand
about the corridor or proceed into one of the
three drawing-rooms which adjOin it, the
Queen speaks for few moments 10 each per-
son in succession and then retires, and the
guests see her no more, as she never appears in
the morning; so that q visit to the castle does
not involve much personal intercourse with her
Majesty. After the Queen has gone to her
rooms the company remain in one of the draw
ing-roOms for music and whist, and when the
ladies retire the men adjourn to the smoking
room, in which there is billiard table.

In the House, the usual skirmish took place
as to the reading and approval OF the journal
Mr.. Mckinley l0D demanded the previous
question on the approval, and in order ia
Obviate this occasion for 40 minutes debate
after the demand was ordered, said a few words
in support of the journal.
The previous question being ordered Mr..
BloGnt Ga made the point of order that de-
bate was in order. The sO-called debate Of the
gentleman from Ohio was no debate. IL would
be trling in the schoOl-roOm; il was an insult
and an outrage in the House of Representa-
tives.
The Speaker overruled the point Of order and
refused 20 recognize Mr. Blount's appeal.
Mr.. Springer H. suggested that the Speaker
was not expediting business by the course he
was pursuing The Speaker was the obstruc-
Zionist Of business.
The journal was apprOyed-yeas III, nays

PENSION DECISIONS.
Rulings and Decisions by the Assistant Secretary
the Intnrinr and thn rnn.,..i..f....- /. L. -.

Killings and Decisions by the Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior and the Commissioner OF Pensions.
Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered a
decision in tho pension case Of the mother OF
Lorenzo q. BabeOck, latest Co. l.. 125th n Y. =,
which involves the question of line of duty.
IL appears from the record that Babcoek served
in the army from August, 1862, until Nav.
1861, aud was regarded as an efficient and
faithful soldier During the struggle in the
Wilderness, early in May, 1864, he underwent
extraordinary fatigue. prolonged exposure 10
fire. arduUus exeTtIOns, aud loss Of sleep. After
several days Of service Of this character, he
committed suicide by shooting himself through
the breast. The Department is convinced from
the testimony that he had become mentally
deranged, and that the whole alteration of
mind was developed in the service long after en-
llstment. The Department therefore reverses
the former decision of the Commissioner of
Pensions aud accepts il as fact that this man,
through no possible fault OF his own, was ire,
sponsible for the fatal act, and died in line of
duty.

The HoichkIss Gun.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having no.
ticed that the Hotchkiss gun is being used on
the frontier against the Indians, would you not
be kind enough 10 give US a sketch in your
valuable paper of its effectiveness in real
business - We heard butlittle of il in the war,
and are anxious to learn Of II now.-S. 5. Fox,
Bradley, Mich.
lASswER.-Thc HOtchkiss gun is n revolv-
ing gun Of small calber, operating upon plan
similar to that OF a Calling gun. 1t is made
in three different calibes: The first is proxi-
mately l-inch caliber, the next about IL
inches, and the largestabout ct inches. The
gun is mounted upon q carriage and is fired by
turning crank, in the same manner as the
Calling and other machine guns. In other
words il IS simply machine gun Of small
caliber With regard 10 the statement OF Com
rade Fox that he heard but little Of il. etc, It
is only necessary 70 say that he did not hear Of
il at that time, as il was not in existence. He
probably is shrinking of the projeetile which was
used in the 3.inch rifle cannon, large caliber
known as Hotchkiss projeetile. This was in
vented by the man who subsequently invented
the Hotchkiss machine gun. The Hotchkiss
gun. with which the light battery was lately
operating against the Sioux, is of medium
caliber. il fires shot or shell weighing about
three pounds, has an effective range of about one
and half miles, and can fire - shots a minute,
or nearly one a second.-EDITOR NATIONAL
