But not expressed in fancy; neat but not gaudy ;
For the apparel oft proclaims the r^an.”

of St. Paul, old and young, intend, the coming winter, to
act upon this wholesome admonition,

QtEEX VICTORIA.
BY FRKREPfKA BREMER.
We had already been two hours fit W indsor.
It was notv past three in the afternoon, anil as
we wished to reach home before dusk, audits
we saw no sigusof a royal cavalcade, we deter
mined to wait no longer, but to set out on our
hometvatd way. We went down to the carriage
which had drawn up below, outside the iron
gates, the nearest approach to the castle.—
Here we found about a hundred persons assem
bled, mostly of the lower class, although well
dressed, who appeared to be waiting for some
tiling that was to conn; front the castle, toward
which they looked up.
W e had just taken our seats in the carriage,
when we heard it said: ‘ The Queen is coming.”
So it was! Queen Victoria with Prince Albert
and their attendants, came riding down from
the castle, and on toward the iron gates, which
opened for them. We drew up our carriage in
order to see the Queen as perfectly as possible;
and that was not ditlicult, for she came on
slowly, and looked quietly around her. .she
was dressed in a black, closely-titling riding
habit, a black riding hat, without veil or orna
ment, and rode upon a brown horse. To the
left of the Queen rode Prince Albert, on her
right an elderly gentleman, who looked like a
German. After the Queen, upon a pony, rode
her eldest son, the young Prince of Wales, no
one on either side ; after him came a stately la
dy and two gentlemen, with their servants fol
lowing. All were dressed in black, all rode
upon brown horses : the whole cavalcade look
ing as simple as possible. 1 bad mv eves rivit
ed upon the Queen. iSlie seemed "to* lue, be
tween the two tall gentlemen, almost like a
little girl. I remembered the imposing tigure
and giauce of our Northern Queen, i could
not judge of the much-praised and beautiful
form of the head on account of the riding hat.
which ai>o concealed the upper part of the fore
head. However, the small tigure appeared to
me remarkably well proportioned and elegant,
and she sate her horse, which seemed to carry
her as if in sport, gracefully and well.
fehc looked at us. and saluted us with a short
nod of the head. There was more of kindness
however, in Prince Albert's glance and bow.—
Then came the little Prince with his hat lifted
from his head, and the light locks raised by the
w ind, a delicate looking boy, but with eyes and
an expression from which'an angel seemed to
glance, so grave and gentle did he look, that
lovely niri: years’ old boy! The sight of him
affected me gently, and i could not help saying
in Swedish : ** God bless thee, thou beautiful
child
Some over-loyal little boys waved their hat
so zealously, that the Queen said to them : -Put
ou your hats, you frighten the horses!’ And.
turning at the same moment towards where we
were f saw an expression on her pouting under
tip of which I would willingly have seen more,
because there was in it suppressed merrv laugh
ter.
lint they rode on: the cavalcade turned to
the left into a by-road of the woods, and van
ished among the green trees. I said farewell to
the hope of ever seeing more ol Queen Victoria;
yet, nevertheless, 1 did see more of her, thunks
be to fate and to my old Swedish umbrella,
which for the last time in foreign parts did me
now good service. Mrs. 's coachman, one
of Queen Victoria's loyal subjects, w ho had du
ring our drive to \\ indsor. been especially de
sirous to avoid a certain heavy and sandy road,
now found reason for not avoiding it, probably
because lie had seen the Queen take the same
road; and hence it was that, to our surprise, we
found ourselves after hall an hour's ploughing
of the sand, close upon Queen Victoria's bairn
After we had driven slowly for a few mimtb s.
the Queen turned round and motioned with her
hand for our coachman to pass by them. He
obeyed, and just as we came past the Queen, he
dashed forward in order tociear the way for her
Majesty.
U'e had not gone fifty yards, whin, in conse
quence of the rapid movement of the carriage,
one of the doors flew open, and all tim umbrcl
las and parasols Hew up to cast themselves on
the ground ut the feet of Queen Victoria. 1
caught at them, hut too late to save my .Swed
ish umbrella, which resolutely seemed to fling
itself out of the carriage upon the road. My
Swedish umbrella! my faithful companion dur
ing a three years' travel—my traveling com
panion in America and the West Indies—no! I
could not leave it here to be trampled on by
llte lent of Queen Victoria’s horse. I must pick
it up, even it irom beneath that very horse's
feet.
“We must stop ! I must get out!'' said Ito
my irresolute friend ; “1 must have my umbrel
la again!”
Mrs. called to her coachman lo stop,
and I alighted from the carriage. At the same
moment up galloped the Queen and Prince Al
bert. laughing and nodding kindly to me, who
could not he ip laughing myself. Then they
rode past us, one of the gentlemen indicating
to us that the umbrella had been picked up and
restored to the hands of the coachman. 1 was
glad to have recovered my faithful traveling
companion, and almost equally glad that, by
means of its self-sacrificing interposition, 1 had
received an impression of Queen Victoria which
could scarcely have been improved.
There ate countenances, which we may see
for whole days, and yet not understand them
until one lias seen a tear in the eye. Other
countenances there are, which are unexplained
enigmas, until a smile, or a good hearty lit ol
laughter lights them up. And thus was it.
when Queen Victoria, laughing and nodding to
me, flew past me light and airy as a fairy Queen.
1 tit once understood the magic power of her
person : for like sunlight breaking through the
cloud, like a flower bursting from its bud, was
the laughter in Ihe Queen's countenance.—
There was in it a degree of natural life, fresh
ness and vivacity, good humor, and a good deal
of peculiar character. After this, I can easilv
comprehend what a noble lady, who often sees
lit" Queen, said on one occasion, in ri ply to my
remark, “ What a little Queen you have!"—
Yes, she is a little Queen, but on a large
scale! She seems to me alway like a human
being sue'n as God made her, while the greater
number of human beings seem to he such as
God did not make them!'’
A human being such as God made, natural,
true in everything! What a beautiful idea.—
And the “greater number of human >icings such
as God did not make them’'—how true!
Alas! educators, establishments for educa
tion. books, tiie world—they take care that we
diall not be tiiat which God created us, and that
t shall sometimes require half a life, nay, that
we shall not succeed sometimes through the
whole of life, in discovering what the Creator
reallv intended us to be.
it is easy to see what a power of fascination
a Queen, perfectly natural in manner, and who
possesses; so much that is naturally noble and
good in character, may exercise over the human
mind in this artificial world.
On our return from Windsor we passed Run
nymede. so remarkable in English history,
which lies on a little island in the Thames,
where the Magna Charta was signed by King
Johrt. The sweet idylian landscape, now illu
minated by the rays of the setting sun. scarcely
recalled the gloomy times, and the bitter con
tests between the people and the kingly power,
which led to the concluding of the contract be
tween the two, and which made the place re
markable.
When at home once more in that kind, beau
tiful hume, at . I wrote that which it and
its possessors made ine feel:
“From a good home It Is not far to heaven !>*
And if I carry with me, to my beloved home in
Sweden, no other knowledge than that of the
many good and beautiful homes on earth, it is
no small gain from my long wanderings.
NUMBER 25
The Km;'r. Ron's Bribe. —The Telegraph an
nounced the other day, the intended marriagtf
[ of Louis Napoleon. The lady is Mdlle. Montigo,
Countess of Telia, a Spaniard, a blonde, and 25
years of age. Her mother was an Irishwoman
named Fitzpatrick, and her father, the young
est son of a Spanish family, who, by the death
of his elder brother, succeeded to the titles of
Count Montigo, Duke of Telia and Peunamando.
The sister of Mademoiselle is Duchess of Abby,
and the Empress is Countess of Teba in her own
right. The proposal for her baud was formally
made by the Emperor, and was, of course, acce
ded to. The next day the happy lover commu
nicated to his ministers, that his determination
was taken, and that it was a marriage of affec
tion. One report says that the ministers, ex
cept one, resigned; but that the Emperor re
fused to accept their resignations.
It is said that the civil marriage has already
taken place, and that the religions ceremonies
w.ll be held on the 29th lust., (Januarv) ou
which occasion Prince Naptdeon Jerome will
espouse the daughter of the Prince of Wagram
grand-daughter of Marshal Berthier. The Sen-’
ate. Legislative* body, and Council, are sum
moned to-nay, (22d) soon to receive a commu
nication from the Emperor relative to his mar
riage.
The X. V. Commercial Advertiser adds tbo
I'ollowiug to the above :
A worthy Scotchman, by the name of Wm.
Kirkpatrick, was for some time the American
Consul at Malaga, and failing in business, was
succeeded hv Geo. G. Barrel as I'nited States
Consul at Malaga. This was, I think, under
President Monroe's administration.
Mr. Kirkpatrick’s eldest daughter Maria, or
" Maritjuita ' as she was familiarly called and
known by all Americans there, was u very line,
dashing lady, and married the Count do Teba,
a younger brother of the celebrated Palafoix,
who behaved so gallantly at the seige of Sara
gosa, and who itt reply to a demand of surren
der. declared he would continue the defence by
•• War to the knife.”
The Palafoix family embraced numerous
titles, and was singularly brave and noble.
'ihs husband of Maria Kirkpatrick (Countde
Teba) was u gallant soldier, and so cut up by
h;s wounds as to be unable to mount his horse
without aid. and when in the saddle, looked
more as if he was hooked on than seateil there.
Hie new Empress ot the French is, no doubt,
the daughter of this Countess Teba—".Mariqui
ta Kirkpatrick ' —who was the daughter of Wm.
Kirkpatrick, late United States Consul at Ma
laga—not British Consul—not Fitzpatrick—
and not Irish.
The Br.tish Consul at Malaga was William
Laird, another old Scotch gentleman, and he
was followed by Mr. Marks, an Englishman.
It flte new Empress of France was Countess
Telia, as stated, then her mother is dead, as al
so is her father, and she took the title of her
mother. The name Montego, under which she
passed in Paris, is perhaps one of the family
names or titles of the Palafoix family.
The True or ti:e Smnr.iusT.s. —The Comi
ty Court w as occupied yesterday in the trial of
two of the parties—Messrs. Pilgrim and Arnold
- —connected with the Bank of Seth Paine, on an
indictment for inciting to a riot.
The follow ing is a portion of the testimony of
Mrs. Herrick, one of the mediums :
‘•Hal been in Chicago some months; had
been employed in the bank to take money and
pay it out; gave advice to Mr. Paine to open
tlie bank on Tuesday, and let one person in at
a time. This advice was given by the spirit of
George Washington, lie did not know of any
other communications; might have received
one from Henry Clay ; does not know who got
a communication about the smoking. Henry
Clay's spirit told th; in to receive all the bill's
and redeem them; received communications
three or four times a week. A rule of the bank
was, not to redeem money for any person who
came in smoking ; did not know of any revela
tion not to redeem money ef dishonest per-
'the jury in the case were out all night and
came into Court this morning. Could not
agree and were discharged. —Chicago Journal .
Death of Ex-Gov. Lucas. —We regret to an
nounce the death of Ex-Governor Hubert Lucas,
which n cut took place at his residence near
lowa City, on the morning of the 7th iust., in
the "fid year ol his age. We are not advised of
the nature of his illness, but are informed that
his death was sadden and unexpected.
Gov. Lucas was the first Territorial Governor
of lowa, and the last survivor of the three who
at various times occupied that position. Pre
viously to coining to lowa, he had been for
many years distinguished in the politics of
(>hio, and had been twice elected to the office
of Governor of that State. During the war of
ho served with di-tinction on the North
ern frontier, and was among those alio were
surrendered to the liritish forces by the treach
ery or cowardice of Gen. Hull.— l,.wo Tel.
We are much pained to learn that this great
and good man has been called to his long home.
Gov. Lucas has occupied a very prominent po
sition in the West for many years, and was
known to all the early pioneers of this western
country. Last summer he was exceedingly ac
tive in behalf of the election of General Scott,
although he had previously held high offices as
the leader of the I.ocofoco party. —Chicago
Journal.
Tim Potatoe Rot. —One of the greatest ca
lamities that ever befel Ireland was caused by
the failure of the potatoe crop. This country
lias also suflerred most severely from the rot
ting of this most valuable esculent. For years
the cause of the disease has baffled the science
and the researches of the abb st scientific obser
ver-- on both sides of the Atlantic. For the
few years .Mr. L. G. Huberts of Washtenaw
bo., Michigan, has been pursuing a series of
experiments in relation to this subject, and
from evidence that has been furnished us of his
success, wc have considerable confidence in the
discovery. The theory seems to be based upon
the most approved principles of vegetable phy
siology, and the remedy which he proposes is
perfectly simple and can be applied by any one.
it is also claimed that it is applicable to every
variety of soil, and lias proved entirely success
fully for a number of years as is attested bv a
number of the best farmers in Michigan. If it
shall prove to be in all circumstances an effectu
al cure for the potatoe rot. the name of-Mr. Rob
erts will be worthy of a place among those of
the greatest benefactors of his race.
Lime Water for llexs.—Accidtntai. Discov
ert. —During the la t season, Mr. Joseph Wil
cox, of this town, having occasion to administer
lime water to a sick horse, inadvertantly left a
pail of the preparation-in his barn, which re
mained there for some months serving as a fa
vorite drink for his hens, lie soon afterward
found that the laying of his hens was apparent
ly increased to a considerable extent. Being
convinced of the (to him) new discovery, he has
during the present season, kept his hens con
stantly supplied with lime water, placed in
troughs within their convenient access, and the
result was an increase of nearly four-fold as
compared with previous experience. He is wil
ling to share the lienefits of the experiment
with his neighbors if they choose to try it: and
hence this publication. The newness of the dis
covery—though it may not he new to all—is
claimed only as applicable to the mode of im
parting the lime in the case—its use in another
form havingffieen understood by many.— If aync
