URING the past week Her Majesty, Queen Victoria has reed° another of her 48 hound ex- , :unions to her I me tropol ie. This makes two visite during the preeent y.ear. So much gra- exoueness is almost over powering, and the average Britisher a is nearly struck "all of a heap" ii cense quence. Consider- ing that it only takes the Royal train 35 mianates to cover the distance between Vindeor and London it is somewhat diffi- cult, to understand why Queen Victoria lloeaDot more frequently visit her Capital.

Indeed it is mainly due to the serious representations made to Victoria era this score that she has thie season been sing out of her lethargy and induced to show leareelf once again, if only for a few hours in Leaden. It would he quite a sensation for Her Majesty to stroli down Regent street, or Piocadilly, and have a good stare !Mat the store vviodows. Coe thing ie quite certain few would recognize in the soberly- •elresseti. old lady, with her stout ebony staff, the prophetess a two recent drawing -rooms. ite would do Victoria all the good in the -world to erre her people face to face—not the old dowagers of the drawing -room, naked and not ashamed, but decent, plainly- nlad widows like herself, and warm city men, and fresh -faced children. Two London seasons without any court Aetna would lmoat acoustom the people to managing without their royalty. In this limey world even illustrious personages are noon ent of mind if out of sight, and the present generation, Didymus -like, reliea on .noular demonstration to help out its belief Sn a forst family. CHANCE COMES AT LAST. Princess Christian has been at her august another's elbow this season, on account of 'that once indefatigable and hard-vrorking rwpresentative, the Princess of Wales, !still keejpiog in retirement as a mourner who cannot be comforted; even twelve mailer -3m after bereavement. Of late years the many British princesses lave been pretty eqoal with one another as regards the reptesentative department. At vele time Princess Christian was almost ex- tinguished socially, perhaps through her mon-possession of a foothig in London; but The match made-up at tier house between Pritice Christian's niece and the then future German Emperor helped more than any- thing else to bring out the half -buried Ifeleneatand make her a semebody in the " 'fent family instead of a nonentity. The ninforbninate absence of the Princess of tiVales also gives Prineess Christian a ending at court as the Queen's deputy, the easier sister of Princesses Louise and Peat:ice. MOYAL DUCHESSES LOST TO 'VIEW, It is becoming quite rare to see one of tire British Royal Blokes in company with his Duchess. She is always somewhere oleo, and regrets she cannot come; and, unless an illustrious sister is handy, the Royal Duke has to appear alone, and thereby dis- appoint all the lady spectators who wonted to feast their eyes on a real Princess' ' .apparel. Happily, the Marchioness of Lorne is in going order at present, and need mots call up her willingSubstitut ,e the Deakins of Albany, so frequently.

This, however, does not render any particulars of the office less interesting. "BLACK COD " AND nis Batman, Thep:floe was instituted with the Order a the Garter, and William Whitehorse was the first "gentleman inkier," his salary being 25 cents a day. He and hie mimes - sore have been since known by their emblem of office—a bleak baton, three feet long, tipped with eilver gilt ; tke Royal Anne at OX1S end and a coutihane lion at the other, in the rahhile a gilded knob. A "tap" with thierrod constitutes the legal arrest of State delinquents, and for every, such arrest its owner is entitled to a fee of $25.

THE etrakrEne AND nintenorrns. "Black Rod" is created by patent,at the unprejudiced directioe of the reigning Monarch, and without any reference to the Prime Mittister, and this patronage has been almost invariably jealously guarded. Still the British Government has to pro- vide the salary, which ib is highly probable will be very coneiderably educed upon the next vacancy. From the time of Henry V. "Black Rod" had right to lodgings at Windsor, and to be "Keeper of the Castle" and of the Home and Great Parks, with an additional $150 per annum, charged upon the funds of the "Garter" until after the reign of James L He has now grand apartments/ at St. Stephen's, a seat without the bar in the Gilded Chamber, and the " Yeoman Usher," with $2,500 a year, as well as the "doorkeepera' to assist him in his onerous duties. JACK SAVES THE YOUNG HEIR. The following incident which is worth recording has just occurred at Torquay, a warm and salubrious winter resort on the South Coast much frequented by invalids of consumptive tendencies. Lord Burton's fine yacht lay at anchor awaiting a favor- able breeze. The crew idled about the deck, and a happy group of guests was aft conversing pleasantly In the group was lady Anstruther, her romping boy of 5 years broke from her hand, clambered to the rail, rolled over it, and was whirled away with the tide. Her Ladyship's shrieks roused a lounging sailor, who at once comprehended the situa- tion and plunged after the child. Others promptly manned a beet and soon over/wiled the sailor, who was now swim- ming with the little fellow in his grasp. As soon as they returned to the yacht's deck Lady Anstruther, in the outburst of gratitude and with streaming eyes, threw her arras around the neck of the dripping rescuer and fervently. exclaimed: "Oh, how, how, can I over repay you? Name your reward for giving back my son." Then she premed a balf-score of kisses on the sailor/nail's weather -bronzed cheeks. "Lady," answered be, thoughtfully, as she released him, "let the youngster go over- board again !" Queen Victoria has smartened up consid- erably since sbe renewed her patronage of theatrical entertatements, and for this the • thanks of the British nation are due to Mimeses Beatrice, who tried the thin edge of the wedge with tableaux vivernts, and has succeeded so well that her august mother man now sit out comedy, opera or drama like any other playgoer. Softly, though; Her Majesty does not go to the play, all amid and done. Like a royal wedding, it lam to come to her in her own castle, and Ilt the surroundings as it best can. For- tunately Victoria does not stand upon price When her fancy is °nee captivated, and swill even supplement the Sum total with • diamond brooches and pins when the /ead- • lieg performers came up to her standard; mad though the histrionic trips to Windsor • entail a mountain of trouble and a little *slipping from the day of rest, the honor and ,Elory of it must mallet as amends. HONOES FOB. HENRY IRVING. The " command " for the play of 1'33er/het," which was given at Windsor last week, will cost about $10,000 to execute. The question arises as to vvhat honors are in store for Irving. Will there be a Lord ceum or a Sir H.

In this city of pleasure et one lives for the time being, caring rn• t tevolu ion or politieal earthquake antiarl(othy'd,rrt / or the joys nor of yesterday or the eorrows of to -morrow. The only thing that really affects the true son of Gaul is the weather, When the min refuses to shine and is re- placed by fogs, dull, cold, or hateful rain, then the arrai Parisian is down in the doleful dumps and refusea to be come forted. All olaeses of moiety are alike affected from President Carnet down to the merest gamin. Now that spring has fairly set in, a complete chauge has overshadowed things. People are light, gay, brilliant, good tempered, obliging, and all that the benighted foreigner could wish to find in • the most elegant of nations. Panama and politica are consigned to the limbo of the past and all that is uppermost' in men's minds is to get out into the sunshine, stroll up and down the boulevards, or recline at ease in the wicker chairs outside their favorite cafes. As to the women—well, lovely krench woman never has but one failing, and that is dress. Now that slae can don her spring frocks and display them to the enraptured gaze of outside admirers, she is supremely happy and her happiness is somehow always conveyed to her male associations, hence the contentment of the Parisians of to -day. FRENCH ,WOMEN'S ).'Roms. French women are often amused of ex- travagance in dress, and this is, in a great meaeure, true. Not that they have a large number of gowns of one aort at a time—on the contrary, they have perhaps fewer than would be considered necessary elsewhere—but they make up for quantity by quality, and each is perfect of its kind in material, make and finish. Good dream makers are very expensive'e. visiting costume from Worth's, for inetance, would always cost from $200 to $1,000, but then even the most elegant of women only go to such houses for sante of their toilettes, contenting themselves with smaller fry for their more simple frocks, fax which cases the grander ones are often useful as models, or as 'suggestive of ideas. And although Parisiennes are more ready to wear their dressers straight on until they are done with, rather than allow those which are lealf-worn to accumulate, of course a woman with any pretentions aa a leeder of fashion mast have gowns suitable to all occasions. ell Paris in a frenzy of excitement and bag of most gorgeeus prismatio ooloringt VOltstatraline or Bolteln Bortleflooft appears to be consumed by e large portion of the }lumen population of thie city, There are at the present time 150 butchers in Perla evho ;sell horseflesh only. Moreover the statistics of the Partin 8e Villejuiff elaughter helms give the number ef horses killed for public con- sumption during the last year to be upwards of 20,700. Curiouely enough the poorer part of the population is not thab which buys the most horseflesh. This kind of meat hi largely eaten by tradespeople who keep a coneiclerableetaff of assistants, whom they want to noerish, and who want to do so on the most economical scale. ROUGH ON wawa Cheap eating -houses 5180 'give horse meat to their clients; and emelt private schools, espeoially those for girls, aloe consume con. eiderable quantities of ehis eemewhat un- usual artiele of diet. Horseflesh is like- wise served up as beef or mutton on the tables of many moderately well-to-do citi- zens whose unscrupulous spouses purchase equine for bovine or other meat, and by pocketing the surplus mut, as the differ- encee in the prices of the two articles is con- eiderable, are enabled to satisfy their per- sonal wants in a more luxurious manner then woad be otherwii e possible on a slender allowance. Tim FAMOHS SOLAR GUN'. VARIETY FOR EACH SOCIAL FUNCTION. First of all there are the indoor toilettes, for morning and afternoon, which are quite distinct from those worn for morning shop- ping, or afternoon walks and drives, while vides, receptions and weddings have each their proper attire. Then there are the intermediate gowns for small dinners or concerte—something between a smart morn- ing dress and the regular evening dress, too elaborate for the former, but high to the throat, with long sleeves. Decolletes dresses are not worn in France. There must be a separate equipment, too, for the Riviera in the winter and for Trouville in the summer. UNDERWEAR COSTS A LOT. Another fruitful source of expenditure is the attention paid to the delicacy and elegance of the underwear, the perfection of underskirts as to cut and fit, tide latter detail being most necessary to the setting of the dress, while bonnet, mantle [gloves, ahoes and hosiery must all be In accord with the costume. This care as to accessories may seem excessive, but with- out it no woman is called well dressed. Naturally these remarks, apply only to the richer classes, though in nearly ail grades, the outlay is proportionately large. Even in the middle-classee a girt with a, marriage portion of $20,000 will spend a quarter of it on her trousseau, in which, however, house linen plays a considerable part, and the supply ot personal linen is enormous. And it is only married women who dress so elaborately, girls affecting extreme shnplie city. SLAVES TO FASHION. One exception may be taken to the dressing of French women, and that is their somewhat sheepish adoption of any pre- vailing fashion. Individuality in dress is a thing telexed unknown, all women being, broadly speaking, attired on the same pattern, allowing, of course, for variations ID coatlinees and elegance. This want of independence in the choice of raiment, while it prevents eccentricities and vagaries, also precludes the development of any originality in the matter of dress, which should always be to a certain degree the outcome of the wearer's pereonality. There is no doubb that many women gain im- mensely by adapting fashions to their own requirements, instead of accepting them unconditionally. mum an MILLINERY. In the matter of millinery French women have a strong sense of the picturesque, and show a certain daring in them airy arranger ments of flowers, butterflien lace or other trimming, as well as in the coquettish curves into which they so cleverly bend their hate. .Asi a rule, too, they have a quick eye for color, and, while less precise and exacting in the question of perfect; matching of shades, they generally succeed In producing a harmonious ensemble being especially happy in the tombination of different colas. Subdued tints and half- tones are more favored than the decided and brilliant shades, though oemmionally one is almost startled by Home wonderfully vivid costume or dash of color. THE RAINBOW CRAM.

It is one of the great attraction') of tourists,, who flock round it at noon, the hour at which the phenomenon is timed to take place. During the past few days, owing to the exceptionally warm weather, a number of persons aseembled on the opot to witness it, hut with no result; the cannon would not do its duty. It now appears that for some time past the miniature piece of artillery has not been attended to, and consequently it remained silent. It was &et placed there in the year 1816, and a. gunamitti was ap- pointed to take charge of it for 150 francs ($30) a year. He died and left the post to his son, who, in his turn, recently gave it up, having retired from businese. Since then nobody has come forward to act as gunner, and the cannon is likely to be relegated to limbo unless some patriotic citizen undertakes this task of loading it. In the meanwhile Paris is deprived of one of her curiosities, and a proposal is made to increase the small salary set apart for it. Although supposed to go off exactly at noon, it is often fourteen minutes slow or fast, so that those who time their watches by it are generally deceived. AN EXPOSITION CIIISINIERE. The culinary exhibition which is now being held at the Pavillon de la Ville de Pans, in the Champs Elysees, is superior to the last one held there. The 'collection includes veritable tchefs-d'oeuvre of pastry and confectionery, which sney. have been equalled but never surpassed en any other coantry. They show that in spite of revolution and changes of ministries, to say nothing of demoralizing scandals, the French cuisine still holds its own. There is one piece called the "Triumph of the Republic "—a chariot drawn by 'twelve horses—which is a work of art that might figure with advantage in the salon. A. TOLIMA/. FIE. One of the exhibitors has devoted himsel to actualite in the shape of a pie, on which is inscribed the words, 'Banque de France; Carnet de Cheques.' Another composition is a statue in sugar of Mozart playing on the violin. The chief novelty in the exhi- bition is a glass case containing the por- traits or busts of the celebrated chefs and eordonsbleus from time almost immemorial.

The Paris elegantes have a new fantasy in pens this spring; they are tired of jewelled peacocks' taile, and the like, for the dainty handles of the pen with which they write their billets doux.

A Buda-Pesth cable says : Prince Arthur Odescalchi, Imperial and Royal Chamber- lain, retired captaia of infantry in the Austro-Hungarian army, and Knight of the Maltese Order, has challenged Count Beth - len to fight a Pistol duel. The events pre- ceding the challenge constitute the most remarkable scandal of recent years in Hun- garian nigh life. Prince Odescalchi is living with his third wife, the Countess Zich Zu Zichy, who is many years hie junior. Be- fore she became acquainted with CountBeth- len their married life was happy. Count Bethlen was her husband's best friend. He was invited last week to Oclesoalohi castle, near Aranyos, to attend a ball and hunting party. He prolonged his sojourn after the festivities, and finally decided to remain at the castle to protect the princess while her husband was absent on a businesit tiip to this city. •Prince Odescalchi left for Buda Pesth, then became suspicious of Count Bethlen and returned to his castle ht mid- night, only seven hours after his departure. He found Count Bethlen and his wife to- gether in her bedroom. He at once ejected the Count and subsequently challenged hitn. Count Bethlen contends that Prince Odes- calchi allowed him to be robbed of some highly minable papers during his sojourn at the castle. It is expected that the whole scandal will be exposed either in a suit for divorce or in a civil suit by Count Bethlen to recover the papers which he alleges that he lost.
