Amid the flood of anecdotes connected with the Into queen and royal family that has been pouring through the columns of the press, I do not think nnyono has called attention to tho ndventuro of the "boy at Buckingham palace, a few years after the queen's marriage, says Edward Vizettclly, in London Frco Lance. This young fellow was twico caught within the roynl residence, without nnyone being ablo to explain how he got there. On the first occasion he was surprised by a porter early in the morning leisurely surveying one of the apartments. On being searched, nothing of importance wns found upon him, but ho had made up bundle containing a sword, pot of bear's grease, and some old letters. He was covered with soot, from head to foot, and looked like a sweep, but denied that such was his calling, pointing out that his sooty appearance was duo to his having concealed himself in chimneys in tho daytime.

For awhile he had occupied the vacant of one of the equerries, and had left the sooty imprints of his frame on the sheets. lie stoutly declared that his intru-I sion wns not for the purpose of theft, 1 but to find out how royalty nnd tho "great swells" like roynl footmen lived. His examination before tho magistrate created great amusement. He admitted that he had been in tho I pnlncc on previous oensions, nnd for days together. In fact, he had "put up there," he said.

He had found it very comfortable place. Tho apartment he liked best was tho drawing-room. During the da' he hid behind tho furniture, when he was not up a chimney, but late at night, when everyone had gone to bed, he walked about, went into tho kitchen, and got his food. Then ho related that lie had seen the queen nnd her ministers in council, and had listened to all they had to say. When asked if he had worn the same shirt all tho time ho calmly replied: "Yes, when it was dirty washed it in the kitchen." And then he volunteered the information that ho knew his way all over the palace, and had been right through it in the queen's apartments nnd all.

He had found out that her mojesty was very fond of politics, he said. This lad revealed himself1 ouch pleasant vagabond, with his amusing ways and astounding impudence, that no very serious punishment was inflicted on him. He was merely put nway for a short term. Nor did ho fare very badly when caught a second time. On this occasion he was caught crouching in a recess, and, being dragged out of it, was takcri to the police station.

Ho then told tho magistrate that he had concealed himself under a safe in one of the queen's private apartments, and had overheard a long conversation between her majesty and Prince Albert. He wnssent to the house of correction for a few months, in the hopo of breaking him of the mania for intruding on the sovereign's privacy, as the offense was mildly termed. But soon after his release he was found prowling in the vicinity of the palace. Finally the authorities induced him to emigrate to Austral Ja, where ho evidently blossomed into well-to-do colonist. Tt wns soon after these events that Baron Stockmnr was brought over hero to introduce order and discipline into the roywl residence.
