the gayest of capitals ; it is by no means the dui-,
lest sitth nothing but a Viceroy. And why should
there not be an Irish Windsor, or an
Irish Balmoral. or an Irish Osborne ?
The Prince of WALF.s is an ardent sports-
man ; and in no country in the world is
a good rider or a good shot more heartily'
appreciated than in Ireland. In hunting, in
racing, in yachting. in shooting, his Royal High-
nese would find Ireland and Irishmen not tmor-
' thy of his emulation and of their own renown.
To say that in Ireland he would find himself sur-
rounded by the very best of company. the bravest,
the heartiest, the most hospitable, would be super-
fluous.
We do most sincerely trust that the splendid
celebration and ceremonial at the Cathedral of St.
Patrick on the 18th in to be the augury of a new
era of royal domicile in Ireland. According to the
programme, the scene in the cathedral, which the
munificence of a patriotic benefactor has restored,
will be one of extraordinary grandeur and solem-
nity. Whether St. PATRICK ever existed or not
[some Irish legislators have ventured to dispute
his existence] next week be will certainly deserve
to have existed : for thanks to the liberal permission
of the Cardinal Archbishop, Catholics and Protes-
tants will be assembled together in brotherly unity
around his shrine to welcome and to witness the
installation of the new Knight of his illustrious
Order. If the heavens are propitious—the
blue eyes of green Erin are somewhat
tearful and capricious—Dublin will enjoy a most
auspicious holiday. If beauty and goodness can
charm away the clouds, there will be no lack of
sunshine to greet the PRINCESS whose coming bids
fair to fill every kindly Irish heart with joy.

IN the current number of the British Quailed,
Retina there is an article on the " Irish Church
" Question," in whioh there are some very happy
sentences about Mr. GLADIrrONL. " Mr. GLAD-
, " isroNes intellect," observes the author, " is of a
1" peculiar character, but it has one marked die-
" tinction ;it never goes back. Whatever height
"it attains it keeps.
" truth he sees he holds with a tenacity from which
" nothing can detach him. It is this, and the
" assurance of his faithfulness and sincerity,
" which have sesured to him the confidence of the
"nation. With this conspicuous virtue he has,
"at the same time, one equally conspicuous fail-
ing. He gives largely, but he seldom gives
"wholly. He is like the boy who cheerfully pre-
," seated his friend with an orange, and then asked
1" fora little of the peel. He likes to keep bock
" just a little." This last criticism received a slight
and merely casual but rather amusing illustration
in the right honourable gentleman's speech of
Friday evening. Here are his words as reported :
—" My right hon. friend the SIGGIIETAILY for
" INDIA threatens me in committee with an rode-
" finite number of what he calls categorical ques-
" tions. It is perfectly open to my right hon.
" friend to put as large a number of these
" questions to me as he pleases ; I only hope he
" will allow me to exercise a certain amount of
" discretion in the answers I shall give him. I
" have gone far in the declarations I have made,
" and further Ido not intend to go." The reti-
cence here, however, is a reticence of policy. In
Mr. GLLDSTONt'S ordinary reserves there is a shade
of haughtiness, but it is the haughtiness belong-
ing to that type of character which is so often
better than its word.

THE New York Herald, fairly enough, informs its
readers of the indebtedness of England to its Abys-
sinian correspondent, and remunerates itself hand-
somely in this way for any service there may have
been in the matter. The " Horse Guards,"—
which appear to stand as the type in our
contemporary's mind of the whole British Army
and Navy, Parliament, the Stock Exchange,
" the Head of the Church"—and her Majesty the
QUEEN, are described as moved to the core by a
certain telegram placed at the disposal of the Lon-
don press by the agent of the Herald in London.
" The Income-tax collectors ruled their columns for
" the collection of that extra penny war tax, the
" Parliamentary opposition became more hold, and
" the Stock Exchange experienced a regular
" `ruck' of ups and downs. The agitation ex-
" tended, and it may be fairly claimed that Great
" Britain was just as completely roused by the
" publication of this single special telegram to the
" Herald in the columns of the London Times as it
" was a few days before when Queen Vicvolits
" sent for Mr. DISRAELI and commissioned the
" literary Israelite to form a Cabinet."
Having placed the New York Herald before our
eyes as the universal instructor, we see also
that the writer institutes a contrast between
the enterprise of that colossal print and the
meagre use which is made by the London
press of the Atlantic cable in obtaining American
news. Fully appreciating the energy of our Ame-
rican contemporaries in quenching the thirst of
their readers, it seems necessary to remind
them that American politics at ordinary time are
of less interest to this old Europe of ours than are
the movements of the older civilizations to the
Americans. America is a very great country, but
Europe has had the start of it by some
centuries.

THE morning after Lord STANLEY moved hiss
amendment on the Irish Church question two
Liberal members were within the precincts of the
House talking over the previous night's debate.
Liberal Member No. 1—" How awkward Sway/
" seemed, did'nt he I" Liberal Member No. 2
" Yes ; he'd better come over to us at once."
No. 1—" He'd be much more comfortable."
No. 2—" Just so. B— once told me he
" never knew what a Radical was till he talked to
" Lord STANLEY." But Radicalism, like every-
thing else, may be immensely differentiated—or,
as Mwrow wrote the word, differenced—by its
inspiration. What a gulf between the late Sir
WILLIAM Moxr.swoaru, for example, and Mr.
Bailer

FASHION is not only fleeting but impatient.
It insults to-day what it demanded yesterday. A
Dresden letter says that the Queen of SAXONY has
expressed displeasure at the "untidy, dishevelled "
style of wearing the hair which has lately come
into fashion. Having frequently to receive English
and American ladies, who " sometimes appear
" with their hair hanging loosely about their
" shoulders," her Bffe.msry has established a re-
gulation that all persons with such coiffurm shall
not be admitted at court.
