ROYALTY ABROAD.

Three sons of the Queen are out of England just now
The Prince of Wales is with his Princess at Wildbad ; the
Duke of Edinburgh is travelling the world over; Prince
Arthur is in North America. The correspondent of the
Standard, writing about the "heir of England," says under
date Wildbad, September 19, " His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales having spent a day, after leaving Paris,
at Baden, arrived here yesterday, and was met at the
station by the Princess, who had her two eldest children
with her. On alighting from the train a land
which was in attendance played the English
national anthem. There were several persons on the plat-
form when the train waived, and the Prince was very well
received. The hotel was elegantly decorated, flowers and
exotics hanging in festoons round the pillars, &c. There
was a dinner party in the evening. After dinner the party
went to the theatre, the whole of the way to which was
illuminated by hundreds of Chinese lanterns, and these
being suspended by wires over the various -walks, produced
a very pretty effect. The evening was very fine, not
breath of sir stirring, and the whole scene was beauticu:.
The route from the hotel to the theatre was lined witl
spectators, who cheered their Royal Highnesses as
passed. It is anticipated that the Prince and Princess,
with their children, will leave here to-morrow.
News is given by a correspondent at Tahiti of the doings
of the Duke in that island :—" The Galatea, arrived here
on the 9th of June, and his Royal Highness was received
by the Governor officers, and, I presume, one-fourth of the
native population of the place. As soon as the ship was
signalled, messengers were sent round to the native
population, ordering them to repair to Paputi, and in a
few days boats arrived from all the neighbouring
islands, and the population of Paputi was swelled up to
at least 10,000. Each district had prepared a song of
welcome for the Duke, and forty or fifty of the best-
looking girls, dressed in white, sang the grand Hyminie
In accordance with the native custom, each native
presented the Prince with some token of regard
to carry back to his country, and at one time the girls made
a circle of wreaths round him, so that he was no longer
visible, each wreath being worth from 4 dols. to 10 dols.
The Prince and suite associated with the half-caste popu-
lation, and several photographs were taken of the Captain
of the Galatea, one of which represents him standing
between two half-caste girls. All the European houses
were open to the officers, and the best feeling prevailed
with every one. Dinners and balls were given, and the
Prince was forced to remain four days longer than he
intended. The manager of the company, Soares, opened
his house and invited every one. He gave a grand enter-
tainment during the stay of the ship."
The doings of Prince Arthur are more formal than those of
'his elder brothers. At the latest dates he was still in the
Nova Scotian Provinces. He left Prince Edward's Island
at the singular hour of 3 o'clock in the morning, whence he
proceeded to Picton, and taking the train passed through
the Northumberland Straits, on his way to the capital cf
Nova Scotia. At New Glasgow, amongst others gathered
to do honour to the distinguished visitor was a delegation
of the Nick-Nack Indians, a tribe of redskins very nu-
merous in the vicinity, and their voices were heard far
above the others in cheering when his Royal Highness
appeared upon the platform. Their chief, who delights
in the reptile name of John Snake, was very elaborately
decorated for the occasion, but his anticipated joy of
being presented to the Prince As as not realised ; for when
he pressed his way forward he was most unceremoniously
and contemptuously pushed aside by one of the sturdy
"grouses" of New Glasgow. An address was presented
to his Royal Highness here ; and there was also a de-
monstration at the next place of stoppage, Truro, whence
he proceeded to Halifax, and was received at the Govern-
ment House by the Lieut-Governor, Sir Hastings Doyle.
He next attended a ball given in his honour, at the Cil
Buildings, around which a crowd of several thousand per-
sons assembled, and greeted the Prince with enthusiastic
cheers. A pie-nic, to which his Royal Highness was in-
vited, and which took place at Prince's Lodge, on the shore
of Bedford Basin, which was many years ago the residence
of the Duke of Kent, is said to have been the most
enjoyable entertainment, and it was the last. The Prince
next proceeded to St. John's, where he arrived on the 7th
instant,.and was received in due form by the Lieutenant-
Governor and the local authorities. He left for Fredericton
on the next day.

What is the difference between a good soldier and
a fashionable young lady ?—One faces the powder, and the
other powders the face.

The captain of the steamship Hornet which was
seized at Halifax as a Cuban filibuster, has issued a protest
against further search or detention of the vessel. She was
detained on the oath of a sailor that she had arms stowed
under her coal, but none have yet been found. The Spanish
Consul has given bonds to the amount of 30,000 dols. for
her detention.

THE ORANGEMEN AGAINST THE FENIANS.—At
Lurgan, on Sunday, a body of men (says the correspondent
of the Freeman's Journal) --some call them Fenians—
mounted a large drag, with the object, it is reported, of
proceeding to Armagh to receive and welcome a friend who
was to be discharged from the county gaol that day.
Whether the liberated man was a political prisoner whose
"term" was up or not I cannot say, but the affair was
considered to wear a political aspect, and that the liberated
man was to have been brought back to this town "in
triumph." If this were ever intended, it was not per-
mitted to be carried out; for when the "excursion party"
had got as far as a place called Seagoe, the " drag " was
brought to a stand by a strong body of Orangemen, who
would not allow it to go on its mission, and it was driven
back here in triumph. The occurrence has created 4 good
deal a talk and much angry feeling.
