1t was my fortune to spend sOme weeks

much Of the devotion OF the royal grand
'pother to this favorite grandson, whose
recent death has so depressed her that
grave fears for its effect are entertained

ing gift pres to the royal boy by
his queen grandma her, and godmOther-
which was on exhibition at its designer s
aud which attracted much attention. 1t
was, indeed. beautiful gift and brief
description may not be uninteresting In
view of recent events.
The chiId's christening took place March
10. 1864, at thu chapel Of Buckingham
palace, and at that time the queen pesent-
ed this memorial of his grandfather to
her grandson. 1t stands a little more
than three feet in height, and is sur
mounted by silver statUette of the prince

is represented 10 armOr as Christian IN the

who was engaged at some duty about
the house when she smelled smoke. She
went to the elevator, looked up and
down, but could not see any fire or
smoke. Going up to the second floor of
the new building, in the toilet room she
saw smoke issuing from small closet,
and the alarm was Immediately given
from box So. The tiremen did not
throw any water except from the eX-

cut and as little water as possible used
which makes the loss very light, COM

was made by Chief Snagg, N. J. We'll

tlemen. The chief found that some
small bits of paper and sweepings had
got under the boards, yet the origin of
the fire remained mystery.
