ON HER MAJEsTY's SERVICE
Important Duties Often Performed
by the Queens Messengers.


From the Paris Messenger
There was a time antecedent to

foreign service messenger was almost
as adventurous as that Of a war cor

should be good horseman. for not

long and arduous Journeys In the sad. =.

resource to cope with the difficulties
that would beset him. In 1850, for in

time when the interminabe eastern
question was at one of its recurring
crises, was intrusted with a dispatch

the saddle without quitting II.
Even the crossing Of the channel
had, earlier IN the century, a spice of
adventure, and on one occasion gave
an enterprising messenger an oppor-
tunity for outwittiDg q rival Mercury.
Thus, on an evening in November,
what time the chancellories in Europe
were agog with anxiety regarding the
situation of the day, two messengers
