The Queen and Lady Millais.

It Is related that, when Sir Johi Millais fell 01, tbe queen sent the Princess Louise to tbe dying man to Inquire what favor she could accord him that could alleviate his sorrow, if not his pain. Sir John thereupon called for his writing tablet and Inscribed upon it the words, “1 should like the queen to see my wife.” Then Ihe queen broke through her iron rule not to receive any woman whose marriage tie had been once dissolved—whether there be blame or not—graciously acceded to the request, and accorded the sorely tried lady a tender and sympathetic interview.—St. James’ Gazette.
