ville.N. C:
Dear Sir I promised you when leav
ing the shores of An?rica and the richly
caparisoned forests of Buncombe" coun
ty, as the gay billows of color rolled up
the. smoky canyons of the Blue Ridge,
that I would write you from London
and tell you how times are here, espe
cially in the barb line. .
As a matter of fact I should have writ
ten to you before, but I've been so much
taken up with gayety, and my English
friends have been so constant in their
kindnegs and hospitality, that I have neg
lected ray correspondence or turned it
over to' my valet, Clarence, a man who,
has acquired so much ignorance in'58
years that he is almost a phenomenon.
As you know, Plum, my principal
business here is to consult her imperial
maiesty the queen regarding the best
style of furnishing my house at Buck
Shoals. It was completed over a year
ago. Seven or eight times I have had it
completed again. My contractor began
on the house, forgetting that he had a
contract covering the same time for an
alcoholic carnival. He told me that he
could turn my house over to a subcon
tractor, but the alcoholic turnverein was
something that he would have to look
after personally. So he turned the bouse
over to a subcontractor. Anyway he
turned it over to some one, for it was
wrong side up when I moved into it.
Well, now I am looking over St.
James' palace, Buckingham palace,
Windsor, Hampton court, Balmoral,
etc., to get ideas and suggestions, which,
with my delicate and artistic natural
taste, will aid me, Plum, in fitting up
my house as it should be.
The queen is away, but Albert Edward
Is here and says anything he can do will
be cheerfully done. He showed me
WITH THE PRINCE.
through Buckingham palace day before
yesterday. He said, "We are all torn up
here," and as he ..did so he drew my .at
tention to the view out at the window as
he stepped on a cockroach and ground it
Into the rich carpet.
The styl with which the house is f ur-
nishod is rather a mixture of the Byzan
tine and San Francisco styles quiet, yet
rich. wThe stairsteps are wide enough
for a team to drive up, and the palace it
self is rather low and flat, but the lion
and unicorn may be noticed on the bat
tlements engaged in an animated con
versation. The lion and unicorn may
be seen over half the shop entrances in
London, with the announcement that
the merchant or tradesman there is,
by special appointment, fishmonger or
plumber to her most gracious majesty
the queen of Great Britain and empress
of India.
One tradesman on Old Bond street
deals in nothing but elephant guns, and
announces that he is by special appoint
ment elephant gunmaker to her most
gracious majesty the queen of Great
Britain and empress of India, by the
grace of God.
Another man, a tailor, who makes
nothing but fine trousers, has the audac
itybut we will let that pass.
I always look carefully over the door
before I go in to buy, and trade only
where the proprietor is entirely unfet
tered. I do not want a suit of clothes
started and half made perhaps, only to be
tossed aside, while Albert Edward has
eleven suits made against Saturday even
ing. Moreover I do not like the fit of
Albert's clothes very well, and I am a
little fussy about my raiment.
The prince is not a well man. For
some time his life has been f ar japre un
certain than that of his mother. Ilia
beard is rapidly whitening, and his mer
ry, gladsome gambols as a young man
are beginning to tell on him now. Few
think he will get a crack at the throne,
and he himself is falling into melancholy.
He says: Of course I am as fond of
mother as anybody could be, but some
times I think that both she and Bill
Gladstone are running longevity into the
ground. That, of course," he added,
as he stopped to inquire the price of a
portable bathtub, "is entirely between
themselves." '..
This conversation occurred on Oxford
street, where' he had mentioned the fact
that he thought some of coming to Amer
ica next summer "that is," he added
bitterly, "if mother decides to run her
reign into eternity."
His purchase of a portable bathtub
would seem to indicate that he hoped to
visit America soon.
I give here a copy of photograph of her
majesty the queen and his highness
Priii oe Maurice of Battenburg, Batt,
a to Call him, was powerful wiggly,
tile uay was hot, and her majesty told
me that it was a poor picture all around,
for she had promised to rush down and
get the picture as soon as possible, for
parliament was in session and she had
left off in the middle of a letter to the
police regarding the cuttings up in the
house, so, as she said, she was in no state
to have her picture taken.
It will be observed that Batt has the
same way of curling up all his toes in a
bunch that children have who are born
under a democratic form of government.
The queen did her crown up In a piece of
tissue paper, and intended to bring it to
wear while being photographed, but
came away and left it on the dining
room table, so she had to war her boD
nec tsae has rather outgrown her crown,
she says, however, and even with a hatpin
through it the fool thing falls off, even
at state dinners, and gows crashing into
the Irish stew.
There is a sort of assembly room at
Buckingham palace which I caught my
self every little while calling "the other
room," thus giving myself plumb away
and showing that our own castle only
had, two rooms -viz, the kitchen and
"th other room." This assembly room,
as her most gracious majesty calls it, I
presume is where she meets the members
of th assembly or legislature of London
on certain days.
X. presumed to toU her moit gracious
majesty that I would, if it were' mine,
paper it with a pale green shade of papt r,
sprinkled with silver sprays of lilies .f
the valley. Also, that I would take out
the whole front of the house, including
the stone lion and unicorn, and put iu a
plate glass front "Then," says I, "you
will not go groping about here in .this
dim religious light, resting anon upon a
hair cloth covered throne or passing
among royal purple or scarlet typhoid
hangings, rich in royal microbes of for
gotten years.

I, with a ringing laugh. "Get more

tucky for it. Allow the breezes to blow

into this old stone foundry, and you can
easily plant Albert Edward ere the scep
ter of England shall ornament his um
brella stand at home."
I thought a look of pain seemed to
oome over the face of the good queen,
and pretty soon there-was one came ovpt
my own face also. I found myself amor g
the other plumbers and carpet beat-v
to the queen, and a large, muscular
equerry or yelper to the royal hounds
was just going away with my collar and
cravat in his hands.
One certainly feels a kind of restraint
here that he does not in America. In
America even our servants speak up as
freely as the flowers of May.
You asked me, Plum, how the barb
ing business is here, with an idea no
doubt of coming here and opening up a
shop, but I would not encourage you in
doing so. Besides you would be lonely.
I only saw two colored men outside of a
very decayed minstrel show in the two
months and over that I have been here.
One of them was standing in front of
a public. A public, Plum, is a place
where you can get "a mug of bitter," or
"a mug of mild and Burton," or "a
thrippence of gin," or "a sixpence of
Scotch," or a pint of Bass, but the guile
less American who eats a sandwich with
his nip will pay for it at a high rate or
find himself in the hands of the police.
I never saw such a place. The "free
lunch" may only be found where the
Americans are very plentiful, and in
places connected with the hotels where
the Yankee abides.
I met this colored man in front of a
place called the Bed Cow. In Dakota it
would have been called the Yaller Dog.
A GENTLEMAN FROM HINDIA.
The colored man was about 60 years of
age and poor. His hair was gray, and
his toes just able to be out that day for
the first time.
I had been lonely all the morning, for I
pined for home a little, and the sight of
an old colored man came to me like the
odor of the magnolia and the azalea.
"Uncle," says I, "you seem to be out
of luck."
"Beg pawdon, Bah."
"I say you seem down on your luck
out of soap; up a stump; stranded;
pooped, as the navigators say; wrecked;
busted."
"Well, I am r&wther on me oars, as
the sayin his. I've done nothink for a
year but 'obble abeout or sit on me 'tink
ers and go 'ungry, sab."
I was thunderstruck. He had got the
melodious English accent so sought aft
er by the well r to do young American
who sleeps in the hay mow at night
with his English groom in order to learn
the stud English of the Derby stables.
"Oh, now, that's enough of that,
uncle," says I; "drop it. Talk plantation
and you'll be rewarded, but when you
put on frills you lose my influence.
When did you leave Georgia, Uncle
Pete?"
"Beggin your honah's pahdon, sah, I
was never in Georgia, sah, and I never
talked anywy but the wy I am a-talkin
of. I was born in Calcutta, sah, and
don't use the cawse Hinglish of the Hal-"
rican Hamerican. I'm a gentleman, sah,
from Hindia, sah."
It was a fact.
0 "Here," said I. "Gentlemen from Hin
dia, 'ere is a arf a crown. Buy a gunny
sack, gentleman from Hindia, to do up
your little toes in. I hate to see them
peeping, like Brazil nuts, from your
smiling shoes." ""
Yesterday I dressed in a complete Pic
cadilly outfit, took an umbrella and
lighted a black pipe that had the snuffles.
'Now," I said to myielf, "I'll see for an
afternoon if I can be an American in
cog." My gloves were large and com
fortable. One of them I wore, and one
1 carried in my hand. They were a slate
color, and my shoes were broad and lib
eral. My trousers were turned up and
sewed that way, and I turned to the left
when I met any one. Seeing some hand
some steamer rugs in the window, I
stepped into a store on Air street and
looked at them. I did not say a word.
The dark came to me at once. "Would
you like to look at a rug? We have
quite a variety, This way, sir. Some
thing new, light and soft, sir. - They are
very popular this autumn, especially
among your countrymen. We have sold
hundreds of them to Americans."
"I will take this one and no questions
asked," said I, "if you will tell me how
you pick out an American in English
dress who has not opened his mouth."
"Well, sir," said he, with evident em
barrassment, "you see, sir, it's your gait.
An Englishman walks as if he were after
the doctor, sir. The American walks as
if he were going to the station to meet
his mother-in-law."
And that is a fact.

On the evening before a solar eclipse
not long ago the colonel of a regiment of
German infantry sent for all his ser
geants and said to them:
"There will be an eclipse of the sun
tomorrow. The regiment will meet on
the parade ground in undress. I will
come and explain the eclipse before the
drill. If the day is cloudy, the men will
meet in the drillshed as usual."
The sergeants thereupon drew up the
following order of the day:
"Tomorrow morning, by order of the
colonel, there will be an eclipse of the
sun. The regiment will assemble on the
parade ground, where the colonel will
come and superintend the eclipse in per

Count d'Orsay on his first visit to Eng

to Lady Holland. That remarkable and
many sided woman was in one of her im
perious humors. She dropped her nap

then her fan, then her fork; then her
glass, and as often her neighbor stooped
and restored the lost article. At last,
however, the patience of the youth gave
way, and on her dropping her napkin
again he turned and called one of the
