because or her own Inheritance. She was
mistress OF the robes 10 Queen Victoria
from January, 1870. 10 February. 1874,
during the greater part OF the FIRST Glad
stone administration. SO great was the
Queens affection for her Annie as
she invariably called the Duchess, that
she conferred upon her III her own right
the title OF Countess Of Cromartie. etc.
IN 1861. This was accomplished by crea-
ton with a series OF special remainders In
the patent. The Countess was the only
daughter OF John Hay Mackenzie, and was
heir through female descent OF the third
Earl OF Cromartie, whose honors and es.
tates were forfeited for participating in
the uprising Of 1745.
These titles were revived for the Sc
cond son OF Countess Anne and her hug
band the third Duke OF Sutherland. who
became Earl OF Cromartle upon her death
on November %. 1883, before his elder
brother became Duke OF Sutherland. The
Earl OF Cromartie married In 1876 the
Hon. Lillian Janet daughter OF
the fourth Baron Macdonald, by whom
he had two children, Lady She'll Lillian.

An Uncertain Groom.

Many characteristics OF the Scotch
are amusingly displayed in series
OF stories published in Edinburgh
some years ago under the title of
+" Scotch Folk"
"Have you brought any witness
es ?" asked the Rev. Mr.. Wood, OF
Bathgate, of a middle aged couple
who had come to be married.
"No, We ne'er thocht o. that. Is
it necessary :"
Oh, certainly said the minister,
you should have groom' man and
bridesmaid as witnesses.
VIVA can we get Jen, do ye
think ?"
The bride, thus addressed, sug-
gested female cousin whom the
bridegroom had never seen, and, af-
ter consultation man was also
thought Of.
"Step we ava alang, Jen' an ask
them, an I'll walk ABBOTT till We cum
back"
Jen set out as desired, and after
some time returned with the two
friends, the cousin being blooming
lass considerably younger than the
bride.
When the parties had been prop
erly arranged and the minister was
about to proceed with the ceremony,
the bridegroom suddenly said
/" Wad We bide wee, sir Z"
"What IS it now ?" asked the min
lister.
Weel, / was just gaun to say
that If it wad be the same to you, l
wAd rather hae that ane," pointing
to the bridesmaid.
{" That's a most extraordinary
statement to make at this stage -
exclaimed the minister. +" I'm
afraid it's too late to talk of such
thing now
Is it 7" asked the bridegroom in
a tone OF resignation TO the inevita-
ble Weel, then We maun just hang
on.r
1t is not recorded that there was
any feeling of citation on the part of
the bridesmaid, or Of jealousy onthe
part Of the bride, and the ceremony
proceeded.

Poor Prospects Of Earning a Living.

A traveller in the Stale of Illinois
few years ago, came to log hut
on the prairies, near Cairo, and there
halted. He went into the house of
logs. II was wretched affair, with
an empty packing box for a table,
while two or three old chairs and
disabled stools graced the reception
loom, the dark walls which were fur
Their ornamented by display of tin
ware and broken delft article or
two.
The woman was crying in one cor
ner, and the man, with tears in his
eyes and pipe in his mouth, sat on
stool, With his dirty elbows resting
on his knees, and his sorrowful look
ing head supported by the palms Of
his hands. Not word greeted tie
interloper.
Well.H he SAID, "you seem TO %
in an awful fix here; what's up? ~
"Oh, we're most crazed neighbour"
said the woman; and we amt got
no patience to see folks now"
"That's all right said the visi-
tor, not much taken aback by this
polite rebuff; " but can l be of any
service to you in all this trouble 2"
Well, we've lost our gait, our
SAILS gone OF and left us" said the
man, in tones of despair.
"Ah. do you know what induced
her to leave 2" remarked the new ar.
rival.
We can't say, stranger, as how
she so lost as to be induced but
then she's gone and disgraced u.s."
remarked the afflicted father.
"Yes, neighbor, and not as
should say it as her mother, but
there weren't potter gal in the
West, than our Sal +; she's gone and
brought ruin on us and on her own
head now" beloved the stricken
mother.
"Who has she gone with ~ asked
the visitor.
Well, there's the trouble. The
gal could have done well, and might
have married Martin Kehoe, capt.
tai shoemaker, who although he's
got but one eye, plays the flute in a
lively manner, and earns a good liv-
ing. Then look what home and
what life she has deserted. She
was here surrounded by all the lux
ury in the country" said the faith
err.
Yes, who knows what poor Sal
will have to eat, drink or wear, nowH"
groaned the old woman.
"Aud who is the fellow that has
taken her from you to lead her into
