THE same quiet continues to pervade the daily life of the Queen, at Bal- moral. Besides her driving, walking, and riding, the principal recorded event of the week is a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson of Invercauld. And the young Farquharsons have been at Balmoral to play with the Royal children. Her Majesty keeps up constant intercourse with the Duchess of Kent.

Prince Albert has been deer-stalking a little, and riding and driving out with the Queen.

Sir James Graham was at Balmoral on Tuesday.
