The queen is away, but Albert Ed
ward is here and says anything he can
do will be cheerfnlly done. He show
ed me through Buckingham palace day
before Yesterday. He said, I'VE are
all torn up here" and as he did so be
drew my attention TO the view out at
the window as he stepped on a cock
roach and ground 1t into the rich car
pet.
The style with which the house Is FUR
nished is rather a mixture OF the Byzan-
tine and San Francisco s~tyles-quiet,
vet rich. The stairsteps are wide
| enough for q team to drive up, and the
palace itself is rather low and 1at, hut
the lion and unicorn may be noticed on
the battlements engaged in an animated
conversation. The lion and the unicorn
NAV be seen over half the shop entrances
Ia London, with the announcement that
the merchant or tradesman there Is,
by special appointment, fshmonger or
plumber 10 her most gracious majesty
the queen Of Great Britain and empress
OF India.
One tradesman on Old Bond street
deals in nothing but elephant guns, aud
announces that he Is by special appoint
ment elephant %gunmaker TO her most
gracious majesty the queen OF Great
Britain and empress Of india, by the
grace OF God.

The prince is not a we'll man. For
some time his life has been far more un
| certain than that Of his mother. His
beard is rapidly whitening, and his
merry, gladstone gambols as a young
man are beginning to tell on him now.
Few think he will get q crack at the
throne, aud he himself Is falling into
melancholy.
He saws: "Of course ] I'm as fond ~
mother as anybodY could be. but somo-
times [ think tuat to.h she and Bal
Gladstone are running longevity into
the ground. That, Of course" he
added, as he stopped 70 inquire the
price of a portable bsthtub, SIS entirely
between themselves"
This conversation occurred on Oxford
street, where be had mentioned the
fact that he thought some OF coming to
America next summer-"that is" he
added bitterly, 'Tf mother decides 10
run her reign into eternity"
His purchase OF q portable bathtno
seem to indicate that he hoped TO visit
America soon.
ri give here a copy OF a photograph OF
her majesty the queen and his hignDess
Prince Maurice OF BattenburR. Bait,
as they call him. was powerful wiggly.
the day was hot, and her majesty told
me that il was q poor picture all around,
for she had promised 70 rush down and
get the picture as soon as possible, iOr
parliament was in session and she had
left of in the middle Of q letter TO the
police regarding the cuttings up In the
house, so, as she said, she was ia no
state 10 have her picture taken.
1t will be observed that Bait mas the
same way OF curling up all bis toes Ia a
bunch that children have who are born
under a democratic form Of government.
The queen did her crown upin a piece Of
tissue paper, aud intended 10 bring
it to wear while being photographed,
bat came away and left it on the din
