What Fetteecaien Says about the Queen : —The ladies of Fettercairn are wrath that the Queen should have stayed over all night in the village without their knowing it or seeing their Sovereign. Some, too, wdio keep lodgers, are thinking over the appearance and looks of certain gentlemen who resided with them on that memorable night, with a view of seeing whether they may have been among the honoured. At one house, where a stranger slept, the good lady ordered all the bedclothes to be religiously put past and' preserved for ever and ever, in the hope that the stranger was the gallant Prince Louis of Hesse, which he wasn’t. On being undeceived, she called out from the top of the stairs, in an agitated but effective manner, “ Jeanie, woman, wash th’ claes, the chield was only a commercial traveller.’Caledonian Mercuru.
