RESIDENCE, RICHMOND HILL. Across the Ocean. ICN‘s LETTER. MISS E. E. GRE Having wad, heard and soon so much lately in l‘(‘f('l't‘ll(‘(‘ to Queen Vicloiia. I feel I cannot do bet-tor than describe a visit to Kensiiigton Palace, the birth-plac- of our Iii-loved sovereign. Th(' original mansion was purchast by King \Villiam III. in lliill, and in IIH‘ following year a fire nearly des- troyod the house and the King nar- rowly escaped being burned in his bed. It may be wi-ll to note in passing that this historical abode was foriiieily called Notiinghaiii House, of which the north wing is plll'l. The. King held councils here, while Queen Mary spent much of her time in decorating the building, and over the mantel shelf and in the cornices may he soon engraved in wood the initials \V. and M. Queen Anne had the baiiquettiiig House fitted up, which place is now known as the ()rangery. Kensington Palacel What a dig- nified name, and yet how unassuming in detail and character. As we cross- ed the threshold we felt we were al- most on hallowed ground, for a sign- post directed us up the Queen’s stairâ€" case. [shall not bother you with diâ€" mensions as to the height of the walls which confronted us. Suffice it to say they are very high, and the plaster is covered with panelled Wood, presum- ably oak. from floor to ceiling. The width of the hull and the stairs is wide enough to allow at least ten peo- ple to walk abreast, so you may im- agine how the little princess tiippcd those. ancient steps as she came to or went from her royal home. The, walls in the several rooms are adorned with the most, beautiful pictures, including , the coronation, marriage of the Queen and Prince Albert. marriage of Prince of \Vales. christening of Prince of \Vales, Queen’s first council, studies from art. and nature, and many other interesting pictures too numerous to write about from a passing glance. The cube room contains the font used at the christening of the Queen. It is of solid silver, handsomely re- lieved by touches of gold and standing on a substantial pedestal. It reminds sight-seem of the sacred act which gave Victoria her name years ago and now supplemented by the title “Good,” and when in future ach the children (if the present generation call for the; best Queen England had, it shall be in death as life, “ Victoria the Good." \Vanderiiig from room to i oom open to visitors (for let we remind you that only portions of the palace are for public inspection), we cami- across that one the very thought of which touch- ed the deepest. (Ii'pths of our hearts. and our loyal Canadian affection l l lingered in the sanctum saiictoriini of ‘ the late Queen. \Ve weie informed that this was the- room in which the . Princess was born, where she received her commission to enter upon that long and glorious reign, despite the disparity of llt‘l‘ age when theArch~ bishop of Canterbury Coiiyngliam announced to her the death of the King. Duty was ever the first principle of this noble woman and what which she had soundly fallen, when the issues of ii. great empire and the. world wereait stake, and as we gazed at the door and stairway leading to the inner room where the Lord Chain- berlain met her to announce the news. we pictured the Princess in her snowy white costume raising her voice to God who was the. Guide and Protector of her life 1nd court. The delicacy of the. pale blue tinted paper upon the walls helped to throw it pleasant shade upon the toy dolls” house left iiithis room by Her Ma- jesty’s instructions. Here stands the little couch, the dolls, hei- odds and ends of sewing, tiny tin plates for making pics, shop-keeping articles on a small scale, and last but not least lbeloysoldier. who. as a real man, figured largely in the inakiiigof the \‘ustesl. i‘lllpll'l‘ the world has known. The chairs remain the sumo, polishcd floor. the pictures, all stand in position to tell the story of this wondcifiil child. Suddenly we apâ€" proach the window's, and shall I say that thousands would blush to poor through such small panes of glass, and yet they \vi-ii- equal In the siiiiplicily (if the (Queen's vhihihood‘s home. and I wondered how often she had Ill)k('d through them, and away over the tops .iif the lim-s had seen Kciisington Uaidciis, or fancied she saw Hyde Park just beyond the gale. called “Queen's Cale," or straining her eyes 'i“ the hit side of the window she saw the pond and \\'i.\Il('(I to be out IIH'H' feeding the ducks or paddling like childii-ii on a sandy lll'iiL‘Il. \Ve puss shortly into a laigc hall, at the further end of which “vs the muiiicil chamber, wheic the Queen hold her first coun- Cil. but before doing so we take a lov- ing glance at the room which in so short a Illllt‘ has become to us the very embodiment of all that is pure and noble, virtuous and praise-worthy, de- picted in the sunny days of the child Victoria, or the deeper hours of young I womanhood, gradually growing older mattered the sleep into. l ‘ old resident of this place. in the person 1 age of 83 ycars. and Lord ‘ l l into years, denoting the true worth of the Wife, mother, ruiir and Qiuen, who affectionately hold the. ship of state in its propi 1' position, lhiis :if~ finding us freedom as British subjects.

Sale, near Manchester, March 17, 1901. ~00.â€" Ed gely I think our town should go back to its former name, that of Miidville, for the present. Many changes have taken place dur- ing the last fortnight; quite anilin- her of farms and houses having Chang» ed hands, and our town has increased thereby. Farmers have had quite an effort to get their supply of hired help for the coming summer, and have been offer- ing fairly good wages, but I think all have been able to get what help they wanted and are now patiently waiting for seeding time. W'heat prospects are good so far, so farmers are wear- ing pleasant faces. Some of the people. of our town, es- pecially the ladies, are. wearing very serious faces in anticipation of the in- formation they are to give the census eiiuini-raloi'. We have. the pleasure of welcoming to our town many old friends who are spending their Easter holidays at the place of their birth. Among them are Mr. L. A. \Vhitinorc of Chicago, who is visiting his home: Mr. John Moyni- hziiii was the guest of his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Scrivener, over Easier; Mrs. A. Smith and Master Evei-toii Smith of Toronto, are renew- ing acquaintances here (luring Easter. \Vhat we would like. to know: \Vhen oiii citizens are going to raise up in rebellion at the condition of the sidmvalks I” \Vhen the next bargain week coin- mences with our merchant?
