When n new ambassador arrives in Lon
don, he does not feel ut liberty to accept
any invitations until he has been receive
by the queen If tho queen is at Windsor
or ut Osborne, this audience is granted
without delay; If she is in Scotland or in

ambassador takes his predecessors letters
of recall and his own credentials and pre-
scnts them to the queen. He dimes mt the
royal residence as the queen guest and

tions of the two countries. After dinner

land, the queen is cordial in manner ant
unaffected in speech and has talent TO
making her visitors feel at case. The new

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some $1,- S75.000. left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes 1t interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr Thomas Armitage left over $t,- 000000 but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings; Dr. Paul of CamberweR amassed over $500 900, but he owned one, if not two lucrative private lunatie asyldms.
 The next largest personally to Sir w Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving $I,720,- no behind him. This, of course, was the result of professional fees, a large proportion of which for a long series of years had been eXcellently invested.
 Then comes the late Sir Andrew Clark, though there is a large falling off in the amount. $l l,o34, 465. Sir An drew sank a good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton $, about $735O0 and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich ard Quain's, about S5S5 coo.
 Sir William Bowman, the oculist, Sir Prescott Hewett, Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for tunes, but all were welt under the S5o0,000 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of these successful doctors earned; $l5.00o or $20,0o0 3 year k a big income for a professional man. but at one time Sir William Gulls professional fees most certainly averaged $1,oO0 a week. if not more. while Sir Andrew Clark's talk ings at the zenith of his career must have amounted to an average of over $I,500 for every six working days. There are prizes in the medical pro teSsion, without a doubt.

SERVANT TO SEW tRD.
Aged Retainer of the Famous secretary
 Leaves Fortune.


 William F. Butler. who served Vii liam H. Seward for more than forty years in the capacity of body servant has died in Brooklyn, worth some $75s- 900. He was a slave in his early life but managed to buy his freedom. Com Ing to Washington he took eookship in q restaurant, where he was when the secretary came across him. There was a certain quaint philosophy about the black man which was charming to the white. Butler was with Seward during the greater part of his public career. and on his death had saved sufficient to retire. The tips he had received from his master have been well followed He purchased land in that part of the capital which Seward s knowledge of the city led him to be- jieya would soon be valuable, His small investment grew until the sum mentioned above is easily proeurabie. The fortune Is left entirely to Miss Eyangelna z. Walker, of Brooklyn. Miss Walker is a young negress of t9, described as being of q light color, az straight as a poplar, and of Cauca- sian cast of countennee. She was a godchild of Buffers. and having lived in the house with him since babyhood. regarded him as q second father. She nursed him tenderly through the last two years of his life, in view Of which those immediately interested are prone 10 believe that she is justly entitled to the bequest. Butler was not mar ried. but has several sisters, who may contest the will Miss Walker Is well educated.

 To Nicholas IT. lofty idealfsm comes natural, but education or intuition has welded it to a rigorous sense of what Is practicable and worth striving for says Dr. E. J. Dillon in the Gontem- porary Review. He takes an eminent ly human view of all things human, and is a firm believer in the wisdom of adjusting means to ends. Hence his sensibiltty of intellect, his suseeptfbiI- Ity to new impressions and generous impulses, is rendered beneficial or harmless by his tenacious adherence to traditional forms. He is keenly sensible that no one man can grasp all the elements of such 8 complicated machine as the administration of a mighty empire, and his relations to- wards his ministers are based upon frank recognition of this fact. The other day a petition or request of some kind was laid before him for his de- cision. He read it. as usual, very carefully. and as usual wlote his reso- lution on the margin Having glanced at the date of this document. and found that it was some eight months old, the tsar wrote a few words to the effect that it should have reached him long before His father would have probably found out who was to blame for the delay, and would have had a warning administered to him on the spot.
