ROYAL MESSENGERS.
TJioy Carry OMier T'tlnR.i Eesiilc
CoTernmcnt Dispatches.
Very odd are some of tho errands
done by tho royal messenger service in
Great Britain. At r.;i English seaport,
for Instance, a i-ealed packet which
was being conveyed across tho channel
to Windsor i:i care of the British for
eign office became accidentally unfas
tened in the custom house, and a quan
tity of cigars tumbled out. As the
packet in question was invoiced as
containing "important confidential gov
ernment disuatches." uo littla amuse
U he 3$
ment was caused. Nothing serious,
however, came of the Incident, for it is
a recognized rule that "the king can
do no wrong," and neither, therefore,
can the king's messengers.
Besides, It is well understood that
the service I maintained for other
purposes than the nominal one. Dur
ing the late Queen Victoria's reign
these messengers used frequently to
carry to the continent in sealed' bags
supposed to contain dispatches shirts
and collars of n special make and pat
tern for one of the British ambassa
dors, hats and bonnets for her majes
ty's female relatives, all sorts of Eng
lish knickkuacks for the late Empress
Frederick at Berlin and even barrels
of native oysters for the embassies at
I'arls and Vlesna.
For many years, moreover, It was the
prai-tlce of the messengers to call eachj
week on their way back to England'
at Brussels, where they received from
the court kitchens a box of special
biscuits of which Queen Victoria wa:'
very fond and which she believed no
body could make as well as the hear
pastry cook of King Leopold's kitchen
This box of biscuits was solemnly seal
cd up at tho Ijvltish legation with th
official seal n;id then conveyed with
infinite care o Windsor by way o'
Dover and Louden. Chicago News.
