The simple JOY. Of royalty.
From the Woman at Home.


The simplicity. of taste and feeling
which distinguished the members of our
royal family has always struck me as
their most charming characters

the queen" once declared a friend who
had had every opportunity of studying
her majesty's character. Simple joys
and simple pleasures are what most APP
peal to them, while the earnestneSs and
warmth of the affection shown to one an
other by the brothers and sisters and cou-
sins and aunts of the Guelph family show
their real unworldliness in very charms
ing light.
One of the most homeIy and lovabie
members Is the Princess Christian OF
Schleswg- Holstein, as the following lit-

Christian "Lenchen." they call her in the
royal circle. takes a deep interest, as we
all know, In charitable doings; nay. she
spends half her life I'm helping to cloths
the poor, and feed the sick and hungry.
Not so very long ago she persuaded

highness with complaints.

no tastes, no likes or dislikes? Oh, 70!
The princess is too sweet and human for
that. She merely laughed and said, with
a delightful simplicity of accent: N
well, cold mutton Is not so very nice,
after ALL is It? / am not fond Of It my
self, and ms to mamma, though she rather
likes cold beef. the one thing she cannot
and will not stand Is cold mutton!'
Even the Prince Of Wales. man of the

Of simplicity. He and the Duke OF York

than father and son, and will chaff one

and spoke freely but In a sad voice and
without the least attempt to impress u.s..
He spoke to each one in the party and
shook hands all around, not forgetting me
with the rest. He even talked more to me
than he did to some of the others, because

Little Rock Oct S0-The reports Of a
terrific cyclone which passed through the
eastern portion of Jefferson county last
evening reached this city to-day. The full
extent of the storm cannot be ascertained,
