BELGIUM'S QUEEN.
M. Pi i. r.r.E Loti. in L'lllufitration, liar-1 rates the circumstances of a visit to the Queen of the Belgians. He says: — "Recollecting that the young .Martyr Queen was formerly a Bavarian ;•! inc-iss, 1 realised that the Bavarian section of the German army is uneasy over the persecution of this Belgian Queen, who is of their race, and highly indignant at tho idea that the Minister Who leads their revels tried to find her children so as to tprinkle them with 1 grape shot. "The Queen, however, raising her hand, which rested on the silken meshes of her robe, made a gesture eloquent of something irremediably final, and in a low voice uttered this phrase, which fell on the silcucc with the solemnity of a decree from which there could be no appeal; — " Between them and myself all is over. A"' curtain of steel has fallen between us foxtail time." 5 ' v'■
