present. Mss Harriet Lane. niece of Pres
ident Buchanan, celebrated for her beau
ty and charm, was hostess of the White
House, and was unassisted in that func-
tion, as was then the custom.
On the second day OF his visit the Princes
party visited the Capitol. the Patent Of
flee, and other objects of interest. A pub
lie reception was given upon this day
Thursday, October T. 1860 at the White
House. the hour set being from IL a. m.
to l D. m.
The Prince is said to have enjoyed
visit, however, with Miss Lane to a fash
ionable boarding school for young ladies,
where he rolled several games of nine
pins with the pupils. But he evidently
could not stand the fireworks that night
for he did not remain long contemplating
their splendors, somewhat impaired, as
they swere, by drizzling shower Of rain.
The following day, Friday, the Princes
party visited Mount Vernon on the reye-
nue. cutter Harriet Lane, accompanied by
President Buchanan and members of the
Cabinet. These, with the addition Of Miss
Lane and few other ladies' the mayor
Of the city, and two or three private citi-
zens. composed the entire company. A
couple of hours were spent In going over
the mansion and grounds. The Princes
entire party acknowledged this the most
interesting and agreeable excursion they
ever enjoyed. The Prince, especially, and
his distinguished attendants. expressed
themselves deeply gratified. The steamer
returned to Washington about sunset. An
elegant collation. was served on board the
fine band of the Marine Corps was in at
tendance. and the Prince danced with
Miss Slidell. daughter of Senator John
Slidell. OF Louisiana, afterward COnfeder-
ate Minister to England. 1t is said that
during his visit to Mount Vernon the
Prince planted with his own hands tree
near to the tomb of Washington. That
evening the Prince dined at the British
Embassy.
Between 10 and IL o'clock the next
morning the royal visitor and his suite
left Washington for Richmond, going by
steamer as far as Aqua Creek, and
thence by special train, for the metrop-
oils OF Virginia. While in Washington
the Prince and members of his suite were
photographed at a studio on the corner of
Pennsylvania Avenue and Ninth Street

privileged to converse with the Queen on
historical subjects that she kept up SEN
timental feeling of sympathy with the
Stuarts. Going one day into the lib1ry
at Windsor Castle, she discovered the
librarian reading some strong Jacobite
memoirs.
"Oh. you need not put them away" she
said: you know / am a Jacobite myself I"
This does not tally with the story that
Macaulay used to tell of the Queens opin-
ion of James II. In the course of Macau-
ley's visit to Windsor the Queen said:

Macaulay, and l am afraid | can't say
much for my ancestor James H."

ANECDOTES OF VICTORIA.
Interesting "Reminiscences of Eng
lands Late Sovereign.

That Queen Victoria in her younger
days was sticiler for etiquette is well
known, and, according to one who knew
whereof he wrote, in the time when Prince
Albert was in his prime, society was
queerly captious in collecting every bit OF
tattle that might tell to the disFara cement
of the 'Germanized court" as those who
were not welcomed at 1t were pleased to
call it.
As early as 1871 stories were told about
the Queens GOODNESS toward some of the
court ladies thrust upon her against her
viii. but the probability is that, as in
Prince Albert's day the etiquette OF the
court was extremely severe, some of the
young ladies ia attendance had occasional
ly to be reminded OF their position. They
were expected to stand always when the
Queen or Prince was in the room, and
were not allowed to mix in the CONVEX

Quested.

some Formalitie- We're Abolished.


Many Of the old-time formalities were
later abolished TO a certain extent, al
though the Prince Consort when out
shooting would never take his gun from
the hands of ganekeeper, but required
that it should be handed to him by an
equerry, and the Queen was so strict that
at the table she required all personal at
tendance done by the ladies and gentle
men of her court. 1t is related that when
Victoria visited Louis Philippe in the
Chateau d'Eu, in 1913, the King having
heard that it was her habit to drink a
glass of water before retiring for the
night, ordered that one should be taken
to her. 1t was presented by servant,
but the Queen declined to take it. Seeing
there was something wrong. Louis PHI
ippe whispered to one of his sons, who
took the tray, and then the Queen took
the glass graciously enough. During the
Queens visit to Paris in 1856, when Napo-
leon III was in the glory o. his magnif-
cence, she was treated by her host not
merely as a fellow monarch, but as
lady.

AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
A Request for Culverts Near
Queens Chapel Road.

| The work Reported Necessary and
FnvorahIy Recommended - Two
Tax Cancellation Cases - Fees for
the Inspection of Milk Bottles.
Charles s. Muir, of 1407 F Street north
| west, acting as agent for James l.. Sher-
| wood. recently called the attention of the
! Commissioners to a former request of his
! and their statement to him that the mat
| ter involved should be attended to. The
former request was made in March last
and referred to the construction of two
culvertsi across the streets adjacent to
his clients property. Mr.. Muir in his last
letter to the Board says:
"On March 10 last. as agent for Mr.
James l.. Sherwood, l requested that two
culverts be constructed-one across Sew
enteenth Street between Keokuk and
Lowell Streets, the other across Lowell
Street, Just west of the intersection of
Queens Chapel Road, Bro1kland. In re-
ply to that letter you wrote me on April
that permanent structures could not be
plao ed there, but 'tempoia ary timber or
lumber culverts might possibly be placed
there, were it not for the fact that the
streets have not yet. become public high
ways
Since that time Mr.. Sherwood mas
placed his subdivision on record, opened
all the streets, and dedicated the same to
the District In view of this fact / de-
sire to renew my request and ask if you
could arrange for the construction of
these culverts at an early date. In ac-
cordance with the new system of high
ways other names have been given to the
streets in Mr.. Sherwood's subdivision than
those originally contemplated. Lowell
Stree has become Kearney in the new
subdivision and Keokuk Street has been
continued as Jackson Street. This neces-
states a change in the wording of our re
quest, which should now read: One cul-
vert across Seventeenth Street between
Jackson and Kearney Streets, the other
across Kearney Street, just west of the
intersection of Queens Chapel Road, now
Eighteenth Street"
The request of Mr.. Muir was referred to
c. B. Hunt, the Computing Engineer, who
has recommended that the culverts in
question be ordered constructed, charge
able to the appropriation for the con
struction and repair of bridges. This rec
ommendation the Commissioners have ap-
proved.
