THE LATE DUKE OF ARGYLE.

Dowagkk Duchess Defies the Queen.

The London correspondent of an Ameri can pipar tells the following extraordinary Story:— It la a lon£? time dnoe Qaeen Victoria baa been so flattered ac by the extraordin ary proceedings of the Dowager Duchess of Argyle. Th*tlady was a Mias MacNeill one of the Qjeen's maids of honoar, a handsome woman and strong-willed. The Queen Bleadfastly opposed hermarr'agje with the late duke ab the patriarchal ago of 71, bar Miss MacNeill treated the royal will with disdain. In this the Qneen, of course, represented the feelings of the Marquis of Lome and tha Princess Lonise, who never epoke to the duke's third wife from the time she announced her determination to marry her father in law.

When the duke died, theDuohess Ins,, as she is collect, evidently thought that bow or never was the time for wiping out, old scores. The story of the long and apparently inexplicably-deferred funeral of the old duke is one of the strangest chapters in recent aristocratic history, and it has nob hitherto been told.

Scarcely was tha breath out of the duke's body when the Marquis of Lome and his sisters, who had been summoned to their father's deathbed, left the castle posthaste. Thia seemed a strange proceeding, even for the Campbell family, which enjoy a the reputation of being one of the most disunited in Greaf Britain j bat more surprises were in store' The Marquis named an early data as the prpbable one for the interment. But he had reckoned without his stepmother, to whom had toeen Jeffc the entire control of the fuceral arrangements. Determined to make the most of her advantage, the irate lady not only declined to arrange for the day suggested by the m*rquis, but; abHolofeely refnsed to fix any day lor the ceremony at all. Day after day the family waited at Roseneath—the marquis of Lome's residence on the estate — in the vain expectation of the Invitation which never came. Messenger after messenger was *enb, reporters B. 3eked to Inverary Caatle, unofficial inquiries cime from Balmoral, always to reoeive the same answer, "The bereaved duchess was too prostrafcfe" with grief to come to any decision.

Fortunately the remains had been embalmed. It waa now nearly three weeks Bins© the old gentleman had been gathered to his fathers, and still the "wake" at Inverary was in fall swing. Every day brought fresh battalions of tenants—Highlanders and Low landers, crofters, and clansmen -all eager to pay their last respects to the cheftian who had lorded ie over them for more than 50 years Their gay tartan costumes, combined with the inspiriting strains of the bagpipes, lent an unusual air of festivity to the grim old oastle despite the fact thab the "black galley of Lome" still fbated from the topmast tower In token of mourning. Io waa getting paab a joke. The "Prin cess Louise appealed to the Queen. .Next day down came a Royal servant, tho bearer of an autograph letter from Her Majesty for the widow of Argyle. In sympathetic teams Her Majesty requested to be informed aa to the arrangements made for the obsequies, and trusted the last wishes of the late duke would be carried oub In every particular. This time the bereaved duchess was fairly aroused from her prostration. The Royal letter requested a rep?y, and she felt quite equal to the task. With extra ordinary brusqueiess the a^ed Queen was reminded thab the writer and "no one elee had been die wife of tho late Duke of Argyle"; thab neither instruction nor Interference was needed as to the conduct of the funeral, which would be arranged when and how it suited her grace.

Taera .was Heeming'y nothing more to be said, but theQusen sent a curt command that Her M»jd«ty was to hive tfmeiy notice of the date appointed for the funeral, so that it should nit clash with any State function.

The duchess had one more card to play. Tlie following Friday had been fixed for the Stiba Drawing-room at Buckingham Palace. It struck her as the moat suitable day in the world tor the belaed obsequies of tha duke. Without sore ado, the body was removed tr. m the Castle to the parish church. Not a wreath, cross, or symbol of affection from any of his grace's kith or kin—only a simple crown of forg«t-me note from his devoted consort —decorated the bier. The funeral service was hastily read in the presence of the duchess, her household, and the rapidly assembled tenants, and the funeral cortege, constat ing of the hearse and a single mourning carriage, conveying the wi'ow and her companion, «et off on a 40 mile jaunt to the Campbell vault at Kiiman. Ie was late that night when the little procession gained its destination, and by the light of the twinkling scars the M'Callora More wa3 at last consigned to the tomb of his ancestors, there to sleep beside the beautiful Gunning, the heroic Earl Archibald, and the great marqu?s who gave his head for the faith In 1661;

The dpke had left instructions that his remains should be cremated. Bab this coald not be done without the Ma'rqais of Lome and his sisters becoming aware of the arrangement, and ss giving them the opportunity of attending the funeral. So the body was burled in the usual way. Al together it) is one of the moat curious episodes in the long and chequered annals of the Argyle family. The Duchess Ina, needless to 'd&y, is out of favor ab the Court, but she is* % lady, of independent spirit, who ordess her life in her own way. The present duke hat the privilege of paying hoc x-. handsome dower, which with her-other charges on the estate, amoust to. such a sum that he has lefe Inverary Oastle—- never before in the possession of a stranger—to Mr. Law son Johnstons* who made his fortune out of Bovril.

A Queer Story of Kitbener

Tbroaghout the Trausvp >a i War Mr Bennett Burleigh (of t^. e 'j) a Uy 2eU graph) has, vulgarly Speaking, > takea the cake' lor tail gtories concerning eminent genera)'' j gjg latest campaign yansi finishes off ' tbe Ber j eg DO bly. It ie abQ«t ly r& Ki tc h en er, and certainly greatly tQ hig CFe difc g J though, as Mr i p" .gh ingenuously remarks, 'it will ? ur. prise many.' I Bhoald think so, 'indeed. His lordship haa figured in many roles, bufc I never heard of him rs mealy mouthed, Tte story runs that ft certain Yeomanry commander, whilßt on parade, rated his men in unmeasured terms. Nothing was right in his judgment that the troopers did. They sat their horses wrong, they moved like machinery, etc, and were « no better than a —-rabble,' * a lot of guttersnipes,' etc. • That,' s%id Lord Kitchener, who came up, * is not the way 4;o address men. They are not ft rabble, but soldiers, and to be spoken to as such. No troops can be trained in that fashion, and the com rnander who does not respect his men is unable to lead them. The whole force heard the observation, and tbe men were as decorously elated as the Yeomanry officer was obviously crest fallen. Lord Kitchener said no more openly upon parade, but he took that overstrung gentleman aßide and read the Riot Act, or what stands for it, in military phraseology to him in such severe fashion that he will never forget the lesson.
