Colonel W. R. Robertson, who Ls to be-
come brigadier -general under the new
Aldershot chief, Sir IL Snrith-Doi'rien,
hat. had a remarkable career. Ile enlist-
ed as a private in the 16111 Lancers thirty
years ago, and spent over ten y'ear's in
the tanks before getting his first com-
mission in the 3rd Unaboot) Guards. Ile
was only a captain in the early days of
the Byer War, and in less than eight
years has risen from this rank to brig-
adier.
ee'hen King Edward desires to pay a
call on n personal friend a meesage ko
this elect is sent earlier in the day. This
rule is almost invariable, but 0110110 oc-
elision His Majesty neglected the precau-
tion, and on arriving at the house of his
friends found the hosts out of town and
the charwoman in charge. The King de-
sired to go in and write a message, but
was asked by the cautious caretaker for
he card, and as that was not forthcom-
ing she declined to let hien in. "Ile was
a very pleasant, civilislxot,11 gentleman,"
she told her employers on their return,
"but as he hadn't a card I left. hint out-
side." It was only some time afterwards
flint the roaster of the house discovered
lc Ids horror the identity of the visitor.
Seldom does one find such 9 curious
cembinatton of talenh in one men tai
that which gained name and fame for the
lute Mr. William Jacks, 1.1..1).. whose
will has just been proved at $502,541). Mr.
ii.cks, who was of humble parentage, be-
gan life in a Hartlepool shipyard, and
laid the foundation of his fortune by sav-
ing, a cargo of iron sold to it fraudulent
Italian. A keen shrewd bus ileac
man,
he soon earned promotion after chang-
ing from the manual to the commercial
side of the works, and ultimately found -
el his pw'n successful business ns an
item and steel merchant. His leisure
*slue he devoted to self-improvement, and
d.%ekoed not only Ink) a notable man
of letters, but became one of the finest
Cermet' ecliolars in Et.rope. 11.' wrote
several valuable !evoke. the) hest known
of which. perhaps, are "Robert Burns In
Other "rumples" and "Life of I(isni;rck,"
the latter earning the praise of all .for-
eign critics. And yet \Ir. Jack's educe -
lion proper was limited to learning the
"three leis" in the village school of Swin-
ten, l.unarkahire, Scotland.
Mr. Comyns Carr. the dramalLst, has
meet many fatuous nein during his career,
end has n taro shire of anecdotes con-
cerning authors he has known. Two of
(hese concern the fondness of Tenny-
son and Browning for port. '''tie latter
once fled \Ir. care a story about the.
port's father. Mr. Browning. senior, see-
ing his son drinking a glass of water on
one occasion, turned to him ani said,
"Writer. Reber*, for washing purposes I
(t (leve is useful. For navigable canals,
1 ant told, It is indispensable. ilut for
drinking. Robert. God never 111lcn.hel it."
Tennyson alae love' his glass of port.
On one occasion, when henry teeing
pa114 him a visit. the pert sand, "Iry •,g,
you like a giros of port. <kin't you.
"Yes, I eta," baud the actor; whereupon
'I'ennyenn poured him out n glees of port,
end finished the bottle himeeelf. In later
years the same little ceremony was gun'
through up to a certain point, but on this
occasion th port was under the doctor's
restrictions. and Irving, m relating the
incident afterwards to Mr. Carr, said,
"Tennyson took the glass, and t finished
th' bottle."
The swetlish Royal Family has not
been without its love romances. Gustaf
\ ., who succeeds King Oscar, is a cult
tired man like his father, with an ex-
tremely well-balanc.'al mind. Ile has
practically held the rains of Government
for the last seven years, and has proved
himself a rote►• in whom the potpie can
place every relinnee. And yet in his
with he fell in love with the daughter
of a country clergyman, and offered to
renounce all his ikoyal rights if his father
wculd nlluw hint to n'a'ry her. King
Oscar, however, refused, and the Crown
Prince, as he then was, was obliged to
give up his love dream and marry Prin-
.•etis Victoria of Baden, in order that the
s..-eesston might be properly secured.
(:iiriously enough, however, King Oscar
gave way when his second son, Prince
(*sane created a sensation. nearly twen-
ty years ago, by nnnuoncing his intention
-of marrying \ILSs Ebbe Munck, his
mother's favorite maid of honor. The
n:nrriage took place in i8R8, and in con-
sequence Prince Osrar renounced all

Forte me, we are told, only knocks at a
man's door once in a lifetime, and i1 re-
fused admittance passes by, net•er to rc-
(t'rn again. The saying is belied, how.
ever, by the career of Mr. George Me-
Ct,lkich. n Glasgow bey. who arrived to
Auslrnli3 just under sixty yearn, n(p
with his. than $25 dollars in his pocket,
and who dial the other .lay a million-
aire. This is how Mr. McCulloch threw
away his first chance of nrquiring a

a game of euchre with n compnninn, his
stake !ring a fourteenth share of the
