The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, November 14, 1865, Image 4
g^necilotei of Victoria. XL nd Albert.
A London correspondent relates
some interesting anecdotes of the
Queen of England and the late Prince
Consort:
The Queen and Prince Consort
were in the habit of taking long walks,
unattended, and dressed only as an
ordinary lady and gentleman. On
one occasion, at some distance from
home, they were caught in a shower,
and took shelter under a tree by the
side of a road. An old postman, go?
ing his daily rounds, was passing by
and saw only a lady and gentleman in
an unconifortrtble position.
He had with him un old umbrella
that had done duty for many years,
which, with a native but rough po?
liteness, he proffered to the gentle?
man, saving he would call for it on
his rounds if they would tell him
where they were stopping. Prince
Albert frankly accepted the umbrella,
and mentioned Osborne house. The
postman even then did not suspect
the rank of his wayside friends, and
passed on about his business.
A day or two afterwards, it being
in his way, he stepped at the porter's
lodge of the Osborne house, and
quietly asked if his.rtmbrolla had been
left there for him. It was at once
handed to him, with a letter addressed
to him in which was a five pound
note, and a few lines expressing the
thanks of the Queen ano Prince Con?
sort for the timely servicehe had ren?
dered them. Not content tvith this,
the Queen caused inquiries to be made,
and finding that the only sou of the
old postman was a worthy young man,
caused him to be placed in a suitable
and comfortable position in one of the
Government offices, and it Ls pleasant
to know that he is now siqoporting
his superannuated parent in case.
On another occasion, before a cer?
tain bridge was erected, a stream in
the reighborhood was crossed only
by a small and rough ferry-boat. The
Queen and the Prince found it con?
venient to cross this stream, and, the
boatman being absent, entered the
barge to await his arrival. He soon
made his apperranee, puffing and
blowing in his haste and under his
weight of years, lt appears also that
it was a very unusual thing for a lady
or gentleman to resort to this means
of transit, the old boatman's passen?
gers generally consisting of thc hard
fisted and rough featured laborers in
the vicinity.
All UT i conscious of the character of
his present customers, but anxiously
polite in his way, his first salutation
was: "I beg your purding, marm, but
if I'd a knowed yer were coming, I'd
a had a cushing for yer, " and he forth?
with stripped off his coat and spread
it upon ono of the seats.. Her Ma?
jesty sat down upon the improvised
cushion, and, with the Prince, chatted
familiarly with the old boatman till
they reached the other side, when,
instead of the usual fare of two pence,
she handed him a sovereign. The
Queen often talks of this water jour?
ney, and the old boatman, after learn?
ing who his passengers were, had a
hole bored through the coin, and has
worn it day and night ever since,
round his neck.

Though the destruction of thc American
Museum has proved a serious loss to my?
self and the public. I am happy to verify
? the old adage, that ilIt's an ill wind that
j blows nobody good," and, consequently,
congratulate you that your well known
safes have again demonstrated their supe?
rior lire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un?
usual severity.
The safe you made for mo some time
ago was in the office of tho Museum, on
the second floor, back part of the building,
. and in thc hottest of tho fire.
After twenty-four hours of trial, it was
j found among thc debris, and on opening
I it this day has yielded up its contents in
very good order-books, napers, policies of
: insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
; immediate use, and a nobb- nomnientary
on the trustworthiness ol Hen hr g's Fire
