A Group of Queens.

The queens in Southern Europe arc a remarkably interesting group of Yemen. The Queen of xtoumania, or Carmen Sylva, is not only a poetess, and full of pictures ,ue romance, but she lately underwent examination for a roma that might give her a right to certain teaching in the schools. Everybody knows of the skillful manner in which Christina, the Queen of Spain, performs her unwonted duties. And now Margaret of Savoy, the Queen of Italy, is to appear as an author, W’ith her stories founded on the legends oi the middle ages. Among the vaiiou. languages spoken fluently by this queen is English, in which she reads every new book of importance, keeping herself posted on English politics and gossip. In religious matters she is neither too liberal nor too devote, and she is a passionate patriot. In person she is lovely, fair, and bright, more graceful than majestic, with a feminine sweetness very attractive in a royal personage. Her family relations are perfect; she is the intimate friend of her young son, the Prince of Naples; and, often seen on the streets and among the shops, she is idolized by the Roman people.—Harper's Bazar.
