QUEENS JEFFERSON LETTER
She Came Into Possession ola Charac-
teristic Communication.
Chicago Record.)

Chicago Record.)
Queen Victoria was an a~SSiduouS COL
lector of autographs, and it is an in
teresting and a curious fact that one
of the most precious t~reasurers of her
large collection is a letter written by
Thomas jefferson to his daughter,
Martha when she was II years old.
Her Majesty frequently showed it to
American visitors. Although Jefferson
was an uncompromising enemy of Eng
land throughout his entire life and
cherished an unreasonable hostility to
everything British, Queen Victoria ad-
mired him as much as any American.
The simplicity of his life INT the ten
der interest he manifested toward his
children seemed to u her heart.
h obtained this letter from Mrs.
Randolph, the daughter of Mr.. Jeffer-
son, shortly after his death. At that
time her fad for collecting autographs
was at it's height, n she requested
the foreign office at London to secure
for her a typical example of Mr.. Jeffer-
sons writing. Mr.. Vail, the British
charge at Washington, forwarded the
request to Mrs. Randolph, who appre-
ciating Queen Victoria's character and
knowing her owe of children selected
a letter which she a received from
her father during her childhood. 1t is
dated Annapolis, November 2S, 1888,
and is addressed to my dear Patsy.
After expressing the sorrow he felt in
parting with her at the school in which
h was placed, he says:
1.-The requirements which / hope you
will make under the tutors l nave pro-
vided for you will render you more
worthy of my love, n if they cannot
increase it they will prevent it's dimi-
mutton. With respect to the distribu-
ton of your time the following is what
1 should approve:
From 8 to 10 practice music.
From 10 to 1 dance one day and
draw another.
From 1 to 2 draw on the day you
dance and write a letter next day.
From 3 to 4 rea French.
From 4 to 5 exercise yourself in
music.
From then till bedtime read Eng
lish, write, etc.
Take care that you never spell a
word wrong. Always, before you write
a word, consider how it is spelled, and
if you do not remember it, turn - a
dictionary. 1t produces great praise to
a lady to spell well.
eff ever you are about to say any
thing amiss or do anything wrong con-
slider beforehand and you will feel
something within you which will tell
you it is wrong and ought not to be
said or done. This is your conscience
and be sure and obey it. Our Maker
has given us this faithful internal
monitor, and, if you always obey it,
you will always be prepared for the
end of the world, or for a more GER
ain event. which is death.
81 have placed my happiness on see
ing you good n accomplished, and
no distress which this world a now
bring on me would be equal to that Of
your disappointing my hopes. If You
love me. then strive to be good under
everv situation, and to all living crea-
lures, and to acquire those accom-
plishments which I have put in your
power, and which will go far toward
insuring the warmest owe of your at
fectionate father.

1t is published that the friends of
Rear Admiral Schley are ready to
meet the proposed outrage upon
him by Mckinley and his vicious
gang of hackers. That New Eng
land Secretary Long is at his old
tricks again. He is a bitter enemy
of the gallant Marylander anc has long
sought to belittle and outrage him. He
may rest assured that the congress and
the people will understand the charac-
ter of the premeditated outrage n
know who is the hero OF Santiago.
They know it is not Sampson who was
nine or ten miles away when Schley
drubbed the Spaniards and destroyed
their warships. The Philadelphia
Times says:
Mr. Long, the secretary of the navy
has written another of his disingenuous
letters, attempting to lay upon con-
gress, or upon the senate. the blame for
the injustice done the naval heroes of
Santiago. 1t is true that the senate
refused to acquiesce in what Mr.. Long
proposed. 1t would not consent to the
promotion of a junior officer who vas
not present at the battle over the heads
of those who fought it to a triumphant
result"
