Governor Merriam returned he dcnicd
all that portion Of the story relating To

QUEEN VICTORIA IS FRIVOLOUS.
In VIII Savo the Nation by Giving n
Drawing-Ronm.

VIII Savo the Nation by Giving n
DrawinE-ttonm.
The idea current for tho last twcnty
years, says a London letter in the Phil
adclphia Times, that Queen Victoria
had made a resolution never again to
hold IL drawing-room in pcrson-in fact,
toetalle n back seal and delegate all
ceremonial functions to the princess of
Walcs-has received a tremendous
shock in the announcement of coming
events. Her majesty, in her old age,
is, to the surprise of the entire British
nation, developing quite n sl1ittish ten
dency. She has had stage plays and
circuscs at Windsor castle, and has now
astonished her dutiful subjects by the
announcement that, provided her health
continues satisfactory, she intends com
ing out of her widowed retirement and
black froclls and will take IN active
part in the court functions and gayctics
of the ensuing season. London, which
for years has hardly seen her, is 10 be
made bright and gay by her presence,
and the dingy walls of Buckingham
palace arc to rcsound with melody and
all the pomp and splcndor of u re-
juvcnated reign.
h order of things has been brought
about by representations made to tho
queen as to the general depression of
trade, intensely aggravated by the re-
cent court mourning and general gloom
cast oTer the prosperity of the country.
II season i8 to be brighter and buster,
n her majesty has promised. by the
exercise of personal influence and OK
lmplc, to do anything in her power to
BRING back the happy days of the early
part Of her reign. Among other
oagcants already fixed is the OPENING
II the Imperial institute by the queer
n person carly in May, to be followed
~ two drawing-rooms and q grand re-
|icw of volunteers, when medals are to

FINEST IN eREAT BRITAIN

The Residence OF tho Marquis OF Butte In
Scotland.
The rebuilding Of Mount Stuart, Lord
Bute's palace, near Rothesay, Scotland.
makes it the most magnificent mansion
in Great Britain, says the st. Louis Re-
public. The base of the building covers
a fraction more than an acre, md is
built in the medieval Gothic style of
the thirteenth century. The walls,
turrcts and balconies are built of the
beautiful v~ariegatcd GRANTEES and sand
stones from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the
floor and arches being of cloudcd Italian
marbles. The main hall is constructed
entirely of alabastcr, the supports be-
ing columns of oz;idized brass and
bronze. The gallery and grand stair
case are of marbles brought from Sicily
and Carrara. The drawing-rooms are
pancled with alternate strips of cherry,
walnut and ebony, all from America.
The main dining-room, which was built
SO as to accommodate two hundred and
eighty guests, is finished after the
style CT the drawing-rooms, with the ex-
Eeption of relief figures and mosaics of
fish, game, animals, etc. The ceilings
and chimney pieces of all these rooms
are most artistic, and so also arc the
windows, m~antels and doors, the work
of which is extremely elaborate. There
arc three immense libraries and q bill
liard-room, all with carved stone fire.
places of antique design. In one wing
there are Turkish and swimming baths,
large co~nscrvatorics, aviarics, aqua
RUINS, etc. The whole palace is heated
throughout with steam aad hot water
pipes and lighted both by gas and by
electricity. Tho pictures in the gallarics
alone are worth five hundred thousand
dollars and tho books an tho libraries
as much moro. The building, deco
rating and furnishing of the palace.
which is without doubt the finest pri-
vntc residence on the globe, entailed an
outlay of n + ;on pounds-nearly
five million dollars.
