THE PRINCE AND HIS GIFTS,

Stories of Lord Rcnfrews munifccnce
abound 1t would be curious to know how
much he has spent in largesses during his
tour. 1t is stated on good aSthority that
before lie left the White houss<hc drew his
check for five hundred dollarsvb be distrib-
uted among the Presidents servants. In
return, Mr.. Buchanan addressed an auto
graph letter, filled with the warmcst ex-
prcssions of gratitude to the Queen-mother,
Victoria, in which he spoke, in terms OF
studied yet sincere compliment, of her son,
the future monarch of Great Britain, and
declared his satisfaction at his visit.
If Lord Renfrcw has exercised his gener-
osity on this scale all through his tour, it is
easy to credit the report that the expenses
of his party since landing in Canada, has
been couple of millions.
The Ohio State Journal says:
aThe Prince of Wales when passing or
his way through this city to the Fest, pre-
scented Mr.. John W. Doughcrty, agent of the
Little Miami, Columbus and Xcnia Railroad
with magnificent gold diamond Ring. The
ring contains three exquisite diamonds val
ued at seven hundred and fifty dollars. This
mark of appreciation could not have beer
bestowed upon one more attentive to thu
station in which he is employed, or one mor'
worthy, in every respect to be its recipient

Ray- A little girl entered tho bar-room
and in pittiiul tones told the keeper that
her mother had sent her there to get eight
cents
0Eight ccnis!' said the keeper.

"What does your mother want with eight
cents / don't owe her anything"
uWell," said the child, father spends all
his money here for rum, and We have had
nothing to cat to-day. Mother wants TO

The Almaden Nine in California, unques-
tionably the richest quicksilver mine in
the world, has now been closed two years
under an injunction of the United States
District Court in that State, in consequence
of q dispute aboutthe title. The holders of
the property found their right to it on a
grant made by the Mexican government in
1916, and as the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidal-
go confirmed all existing property rights so
founded, it would seem that the grant in
question gave an indefeasible title. How
ever this may be-, it is great pity that the
Mine should remain unworked. 1t is like
shutting up millions in box, whore it can
be no use, and draw no interest. The claim
ants should be afforded u fair and early OPP
portunity to show, if they can, the validi-
ty of their title. Uncle Sam is privileged
litigent, and he has so many advantages
over private individuals, in suits of this
nature, that he should, at least be gener-
Gus enough to throw no special and unnec-
essary impcdiments in the way of equal,
exact and speedy justice.--Day Book.

From the pittsburgh Journal

The Washington correspondent Of The
n. Y. Tribune says of Montgomery, of the
Washington Pa, District that, he has been
summoned before the Coyode Committee
to explain various statements of speeches
published in the Democratic papers of his
District. alleging that the President had
offered him the best Office in his gift to
change his position on the LecOmpton
question, and the like, but he failed either
to report himself at the request of the
, Committee, like other members, or to obey
a subpoena, though several times served =
That is rather q good joke, that the
Committee should ascribe any weight to
Montgomery's speeches. AS if any one
would offer him bribe, the immaculate
one! As.if there should be any need of
terrifying his casual remarks by oaths and
examinations before committee! Mon

aware of his own personal knowledge how
truthful a man tour own NJ" is When

that Covode and certain other Republicans
had written a letter to the Washington
District, advising their friends to vote for
him (Montgomery,) Covode on the spot
drew a copy of the letter from his pocket,
and ms he advanced down the aisle to lay
I it on the Speakers desk, ''Our own'' stood

before the committee would doubtless be

Yesterdays New York Tribune has
review of the pamphlet issued by the lat4
Republican Convention in this city, to-
gether with Mr.. Pierpoint's lteter on the
Tax bill, at the close of which the Tribune
remarks that:
According to the Hon. R. n. T. Hunter,
the "master at the South, who owns the
labor, Yields the power Of the Govern
ment, and does justice to ALL" The inn
position of tax like that above described
can leave little question that the slave
owners WELD the power of Government.
AS to the other point of doing justice to
all, the laboring men of Western Virginia
are not quite so clear. Hitherto they have
suffered themselves to be led captive by
| the name of Democracy. But for twenty
years past the Democratic party in Vir-
ginia, as elsewhere, has been the mere tool
of the Shareholders. At length symptoms
are beginning to appear of the formation
of a Free Labor party, to which the tri-
umph of the Republicans in the approach
ing Presidential election would undoubt-
edly give strong impulse.
