Apropos Of the queens recent So
journ at Balmoral north Of Scot
laud newspaper has been cleaning
from among the Deeside peasantry
some new stories about her early
visits to her Highland residence.
One 81 these relates to the boyhood
oftbe prince Of Wales, says the Scot
tish American.
The prince on one occasion, when
he had temporarily escaped from the
surveillance OF the parental eye,
played q trick on young country
lad whom he saw approaching with
a basket Of eggs on his arm, the re-
suit Of the trick being to break all.
or most Of the eggs. The lad was a
tough Aberdonian and could not
brook this injury, so he turned to
and doubling his fists gave the prince
a thi;ashing in spite of the latter's
protest that he was the prince of
Wales.
fllnce an q though We be, said
the boy 'ye'd nae business tae
break my eggs" Just then the
queen appeared, having seen part of
the fray. She quietly said: "You
are quite right, my lad; he had no
right to break your eggs and he
richly deserves what you have given
him.. Her majesty afterward made
Enquiries about the boy and sent him
toIschool at her own expense.
Another story relates to her
majesty's visit to the cottagers in
The neighborhood. On one occasion,
when she had been making calls
among the cottage women, she
dropped in, on her way back to the
castle, at the house of an old woman
who did not know her visitor. The
oldlady was both talkative and quer-
sulons; and, referring to fete at
which the queen had been present
that day, complained about people,
including her own household, 'run-
ming like mad to see common clay
woman" Her grievance was that
she had TO wait till her folks re-
turned in order to get her tea, for
she was too feeble to make it herself.

Alexander Hasmyth, the Landscape
painter, says London Answers, was
a man fruitful in expedients. To
his mind, the fact that a thing could
mot be done in the ordinary manner
was no reason whyit should begiven
up, His son relates the following
SintefeSting example Of his inge-
NH ilTifty::
The dukeof Athol, says lie, con
suited him as to some improvements
which he desired to make in his
woodland scenery near Dunkeld.
Among other things, a certain rocky
3crag needed to be planted with trees,
torelieve the grim barrenness of its
appearance. The question was how
todoit, as it was Impossible for any
man to climb the crag, in order to
set seed or plants in the clefts of the
rocks.
happy ldea struck my father.
Having observed in front Of the
castle a pair of small cannon, used
for firing salutes on great days, it
occurred 10 him to turn them to ac-
count. A tinsmith in the village
was ordered to make a number OF
canisters with covers. The canis-
tiers were filed with all sorts of suit
able tree seeds. The cannon we're
loaded and the canisters were fired
up against the high face of the rock.
They burst and scattered the seed in
all directions. Some years after,
when my father revisited the place,
The was delighted to find that his
scheme of planting by artillery had
proved successful; the trees were
aourishing in all the recesses of the
brock.

Gov. Fleming has been wearing
better clothes lately than he usu-
ally does, and some of his friends
have been commenting upon the
fact. While the Governor IS all
ways we'll dressed, yetheis never
in any sense a dude. Upon in
quiry we find that the change in
his garments is not from choice,
but is an absolute necessity. Not
long since, iustafter the Cover
nor had started on campaigning
tour, the door bell of his resi-
dence rang, aud upon it being
answered a well dressed stranger
was found standing upon the
front porch. He handed IN a
note addressed TO Mrs. Fleming,
in which he stated that he was a
tramp; that he had seen better
days; that at the time OF
the gubernatorial contest he &C
cupied a prominent political po-
sition in this State, and was a
great friend of the Governor.
He also stated that he had Just
seen the Governor at the deout
before his departure, and that the
Governor told him to go to his
house, and that Mrs. Fleming
would give him any of the clothes
of the Governor that would iii
him. This brought Mrs. Elem
ing to the door. and she had the
fellow to take a seat and wal
while she hunted through the
Governors wardrobe. Soon she
returned, and she loaded the fell
low down with every garment
that would fit him, and he anc
the Governor were about the
same size, and the fellow wen
away happy, and Mrs. Fleming
felt consoled by the fact that she
had been generous to friend o.
her husband who was IN distress
Some days afterwards the Cover
nor returned, and as his trip hac
been long he desired to change
his outer clothing. He looked
for one garment after another
and could not find them, for there
was nothing but his dress Goa,
left He called to Mrs. Fleming
when he was told that she hac
given all the clothing to an ole
friend of his, and exhibited the
letter to show the merit of the
transaction. The light Their
dawned upon the Governor, bu,
the joke was too good for him tc
keep. He Will continue to wea,
his one suit until clothing is
made cheaper by the Wilson bill
-inder.

WARNER LYNCHERs.
MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
Yaney Hawkins and Edmond raylor
Plead Guilty.

The trial Of the Warner lynchers
was concluded yesterday in the Var
ner Circuit Court, Yancy Hawkins
and Edmond Taylor plead guilty to
MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE,
and were sentenced to five years each
In the penitentiary. Steve Tinsley
and Abraham Washington plead
guilty to involuntary manslaughter
and were sentenced to one year each
in the penitentinry. The trial of the
others as accessories was deferred
until the next term of court.
The sentence of Hawkins and Tay-
lor is EXTREMITY light taking intoeon-
sidefation the nature of the crime
committed.
Hawkins especially had the repu-
tation OF being bad negro, but the
country will be rid of him for five
years and perhaps his term OF sen
tence in the penitentiary at hard In
Dor will teaeh him some valuable
lessons.
