trains on the Alton road had been
taken of-the outlook for the Alton
road was very dubious. 1t is a singu.
lar illustration of Mr.. Pullman's good
fortune that he had hardly concluded
the purchase Of his partners halfin-
terest before business became so good
that the nj ght trains were started
again and the sleeping car business be-
gan at once to make returns. These
sleeping cars on the Alton road, with
which Mr.. Pullman's first experiments
were tried, were simply two ordinary
passenger cars which he had changed
into the commonest kind of sleeping
cars at slight expense. Fifty cents
were charged for berth, and the first
night four berths were sold. About
this time the Pixies Peak fever set in,
and Mr.. Pullman gravitated West and
spent two or three years at Pixies
Peak. He returned in 1864 and again
took up his sleeping car project.
In 1864 Mr.. Pullman, who had
Oeeh giving the sleeping car business
close attention and who had been
deeply interested in the thought that
there was wide field for inventive
genius in that direction, met a master
car builder of the Alton railroad, who
was an old friend, and paid him $500
month 10 take in charge the con-
struction Of q model car. He obtained
the privilege Of using a shed of the
Alton railroad in its yard at Chicago
and told the builder what sort of car
he wanted. The great question with
him was how 10 have an upper and
lower berth that would be comfortable
They were at that time the merest
makeshifts to afford a nights rest. Mr..
Pullman determined that the new car
should be the handsomest ever made.
Heretofore sleeping car had cost not
more than $4,000 or $4,000. Look
ing the matter over and wondering
how he could arrange two berths that
would be roomy, comfortable and

fully aware that the British govern
ment could not allow its flag to be in
suited and the security of her mail COM
munications to be placed in jeopardy;
and her majesty's government are I'm
willing to believe that the United States
government intended wantoniy to put
an insult upon this country, and to add
to their many distressing complications
by forcing a question of dispute upon
us; and that we are, therefore, glad to
believe that, upon q full consideration
of the circumstances and the undoubt-
ed breach of international law commit
ted, they would spontaneously offer
such redress as alone could satisfy this
country--viz. the restoration of the un-
fortunate passengers and a suitable
apology"
This request to Lord Russell to change
the keynote of his dispatch to our gov
ernment to one of menace to one of
conciliation was in effect, of course. a
command. The jingoism was knocked
out of the instructions to Lord Lyons,
who presented the matter to our Secre-
tnrv of State Seward in such a way as
to make it easy for President Lincoln
to end the incident, as he did. by adj
hitting that Capt. Wilkes had acted
without instructions, and ordering Ma
son and Slidell to be given back into
British custody. On January 0. 1862,
the queen received the news at Os-

VICTORIA A PEACEMAKER.
True Story Of Her Queenly Interfer-
ence in the Trent Affair.
Prince Albert's Memorandum-Lord
RusseII's BeIlicose Dispntch-Why
james C. Blaine Said "She Wss
wiser Than Her Minister'S"
TCopvright. 1871

There is one episode in the long reign
of Queen Victoria which may be re-
called with peculiar interest by Ameri-
cans in this jubilee season. James G..
Blaine, in his Twenty Years of Con-
gress," after describing the war scare
that grew out of the seizure of the con-
federate commissioners, Mason and Sill
dell. from the British mail steamer
Trent by Capt. Wilkes. of the United
States steamer San Jacinto. on No
vember 9, 1861, wrote as follows:
1T would be ungracious to withhold
an expression of the lasting apprecia-
ton entertained in this country OF the
course pursued by he,' majesty the
queen of England throughout this most
painful ordeal. She was wiser than her
ministers, and there can be little doubt
that but for her consideratc interposi-
ton softening the rigor of the British
demand the two nations would have
been forced into war"
The story of what Mr.. Blaine terms
"her considerate interposition' is one
of the most romantic chapters in Amer
lean and English history. When the
news of the Trent affair arrived in
England on November IS, 1S61-the ca
bic was not then laid--the indignation
aroused was general and intense.

Statesman of both parties joined in
passionate cry for an immediate de-
mand upon our government for the
surrender of the captured commission
ers and an apology for what was called
the outrage" On this side OF the At
lantic the feeling was just as general
and intense in the other direction. Our
house Of representatives, at Washington
unanimously adopted a resolution OF
thanks 10 Capt. Wilkes, and cur secre-
tary OF the navy, Mr.. Gideon Welles,
officially approved the seizure.
In this situation of affairs Lord Pal
merston, then prime minister, wrote to
the queen that the cabinet had de-
cided to advise her majesty "to demand
reparation and redress" That was on
November %, On the following day
there was a full meeting of the cab-
net, and at its close Lord John Russell,
foreign secretary, forwarded to the
queen the drafts OF the various dis
patches which he proposed to send to
/ Lord Lyons, the British ambassador at
| Washington. They reached Windsor
castle in the evening. The prince con-
sort was already in the first stages Of

ROLLING THE DISK.
An Cut-oG-Door Game Worth Borrow
ing from Sunny Italy.

lCODyTlSHt, IeSi,l
The modern Italians have few out-of.
door games worth mentioning. There
is, however, in northern Italy, a region
from which very few immigrants come
to the United States, one bowling game
which is good enough for transplanting
to the new world.
In Oryieto the boys and young men
whittle out round disks of light wood.
varying in size from three inches across
to eight inches. The smallest sizes are
rolled by children of five or six years,
the largest by tall youths and young
men. The disk is slightly rounded at
the edges by whiting, and in throwing
or rolling it a tough string, from five
to nine feet long, is used. The string
has q loop tied in one end. To roll the
disk this loop is slipped over one or two
of the fingers of the right hand. Then,
beginning at the other end, the string is
wound snugly round the edge, until
the disk rests in the hollow of the hand.
After the disk has left the players
/ grasp, he draws back the string, with
u strong, even pull.
1t is surprising what a difference the
, use Of the string makes in the speed
