THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Tbo Queen's Honseliolil.
In reckoning all tho sinecures cover
ed by tho single- list in England, we
find 0.11 persons nttnehed to hor mnj
csty Victoria, (tho servtints not In
eluded.) Tlio numeration is itself
highly interesting. I will tnko by way
of specimen only tlint of Lord Cliamb
borlnln. The noblo Lord is nttlio head
of nil tho personal ot tho roynl limine
hold, oiccjalng that of bed chamber.
Ho has such a countless number' of
duties that ho could never perform if
tho greater portion of thorn had not
been farmed out to n numberless crowd
of subalterns.
Tho fortunato incubcut of this post
at present is Lord Kcnmare, a person
as stupid as ho is pretentious. To bo
ctiamborlain no higher cptality is ne
cessary than to be ablo to road, writo
and reckon. A Catholic by birth and
a ilunkoy by nature, Kcnmaro has
nothing elso to cngago his attention
than tho court and his faith. Tho
great work of his lifo is his Killarney
mansion of which ho is very proud. In
politics ho wished to put in an appear
nnco like, oilier people; ho presented
hinvrclf in Parliament ouco to nfiirm
his conviction and vote against tho
Irish tenant disturbance bill. His ten
ants on ills Killarney estate testified
their gratitude, for this action by re
fusing to pay a penny of rent. Al
though an insignificant personage,
Lorif ICenmnro is on tho whole an
agreeable companion, a good shot and
knows how to stand on his dignity
when circumstances demand it.
Tho mission of tho vicc-chamberlain
is to assist tho chamberlain, but ho
rids himself of this weighty burden
by shouldering it on a comptroller of
accounts who in turn passes it on to
a superintendent. Tho superintendent
has it relegated to thrco clerks, who
hand it over to thrco assistant clerks.
After tho chamberlain comes tho pri
vate treasurer and secretary to tho
queen, Sir Henry Ponsonby, fifty-eight
year of age, and for tho past sovon
years guardian of tho privy purse.
This last function imposos on him a
difficult task, embracing as it does tho
appeals for assistance addressed to tho
queen. Thcso appeals embraco among
others the gratuities given to mothers
who aro so fortunato as to give birth
to triplets.
A master of ceremonies, as assistant,
a marshal, eight aid-do-camps, eight
gentleman in attendance, themselves
assisted by a number of supernumera
ries or postulants, have to fulfil tho
duty of taking dinner with her maj
est in their turn to mako up tho num
ber at tablo and help tho other guests
to banish the royal ennui. Then como
four members of tho privy council, a
black rod and a scoro of other bizarro
officials, among whom aro eight ser-gcant-at-arras.
When thcso latter wero
created their duly consisted of mounting
guard near tho royal lent, clad in their
armor, their swords at their side, arm
ed with a bow and a quiver and hold
ing their ceremonial baton. Their
mission was to watcli and arrest trait
ors. Hut in our days traitors must
necessarily bo rare, as these sergcant-at-arms
have never been ablo to exhibit
ono in return for tho round million
that their occupation has cost the nat
ion sinco tho accession of the queen.
The grand master of tho court, Gen
eral Francis Seymour, lost his sight in
tho Crimea, and always wears a singlo
eye-glass, which gives him a grimace
to his features and gives him an air
of ferocity, although, at the bottom ho
is tho most ami ablo man in tho world.
Who knows but that ferocious air
comes from tho internal despair at tho
way his wife murders music T This bet
ter half of his who is known as the
beautiful country woman, is the most
consuramito type of personal blindness
(although slio did not accompany her
husband to tho Crimea). A naive
and pretentious country woman, her
conversation is dotted with the most
ridiculous absurdities and stupidities.
Even her great beauty cannot atono
for her astonishing stupidity. Her
presumption equals that of Lady
Arhibald Campbell. Sho sings at con
certs although sho dees not know a
cinglo note of music; I say "sings''
for politeness sake; the perspiration
rolls in beads from the poor artists who
must follow her; sho is at once the
riightmaro and tho scarecrow of all who
accompany her, bo stupid is she that
I daro not even hopo that this notifi
cation of the ridioulo with which sho
overwhelms herself will open her
eyes.
Another curious pursonago of the
court is tho grand champion, who, on
tho day of tho coronation.presents him
self before parliament and declares him
self ready to pick up tho glove if any
ono will throw it down and pretend to
contest the rights of tho sovereign.
Thero aro besides a crowd of digni-
tai ics, sucn as 1110 corps ot the scrco
ants, tho armed heralds, body guards,
jwigus, EiipcniiicmieniK, master ot ten
ii court, boatmen to the queen, guard
laiiH of the swans, urand falconer.
urainl master of tho hounds, and so
on.

Domestic) Vinegar-Making.
Pel haps the best vinegar, writes a
correspondent of tho Jlural New
Yorker, is mado from cider. It takes
some time to mako unless iu warm
weather tho barrel is rolled out in the
sun, the vent opened, and somo mos
quito netting is nailed over tho open
ing to keep out insects. A small
quantity may bo quickly madu by till
ing glass fruit cans nearly full, add
ing a littlo water and brown sugar,
and putting them where it is quite
light. If corn, mustard seed, horse
radish, or any other such thing has
been put in tho cider wlion it is new,
to arrest fermentation, it will bo much
longer in turning to vinegar, and I
think it is never so good.
Vinegar can bo mado by mixing ono
gallon of molasses with fivo or six
gallons of water pure, soft water is
best. If a littlo molasses is spread on
a piece of brown paper as largo as tho
hand, and put it in after it is mixed,
it seems to answer the purpese of
"mother,'1 or tho vinegar plant, as it is
often called. I havo had nico vinegar
made of sweetened currant juice and
water, equal parts. It was rather thin,
but fino llavorod.
When maple sugar is manufactured,
tho richost vinegar may be made'jftom
tho rinsings of all the ili?hes used, if
saved in a suitable vessel, with tho ad
dition os some maplej syrup, tho whole
being allowcdj to ferment. It is far
superior in llavor to all other kinds of
vinegar as thu maple vinegar is lo
other kinds of Bwccts.
I knew a very careful, painstaking
housekeeper who used to keep a large
stono jug in her pantry, and every
dish for molasses, or anything of the
sort, was always rinsed and tho con.
tents poured into tho jug. Sho always
had an abuudanco of vinegar (of good
quality, too), and it certainly did not
seem expensive-, it only took a littlo
lime and care on her part
I think it is desirable, when posil1o,
for families to m.iko their own vinegar,
as the) know then what they aro us
ing, and a housewife, over uonfroulcd
with three meals a day, will liud
plunly of good vinegar a very great
ooiiveniouci', as it gives a relish lo
tunny dishes.
I loli lliirdette, thu hiimiuist, is full
of good things. Hero is one ol his
latest: " 'The shallows murmur, but
tho deeps aro dumb.' And do you
know, to put a new interpretation on
an old bit of wisdom, that is why wo
lovo tho shallows. Wo stroll besido
tho broad, deep, voiceless river. Thero
is no song in nil tho silent stream.
Its bosom bears tho fleets of commerce;
shallop and steamer and raft drift
down its silent current to thu sea. By
dock and slip tho bending willow
sweep its noiseless waters. Utit when
wo reach tho winking brook, singing
Binging over tho whito shining peb
bles murmuring around tho mossy
rocks, whispering through tho sway
ing reeds, wo sit down and listen, and
tho musio and charm of its incessant
babble drive away every caro and overy
thought of Borrow and trouble Who
is it that said tho music of running
water produces iu us a mild insanity
or something liko thatT Truo it is
'tho shallows murmur, but tho deeps
aro dumb,' and bo wo lovo thu shal
lows. Yes, my son, yes. That per
haps is tho reason boJ many people
lovo you. By and by you will bo
como older you will liccomo deep.
Then wo will hate you."
