We scufiled along &c vigorously as we conlc.

coming from church, had crossed the path OF
the crowd iust - they made start. They
paid not the slightest regard TO them. They
bscame vgedgsd In. like the rest, and were
borne along. We did not stop TO enquire what
became OF them. We hope they got OF with
whole bones, but we do not know. Arrived at
the monument, he had vanished like q jack-o'.

one, and immediately there was rush for the
Capitol. There was large crowd already
there, who, We suppose. saw him, for they had
Q atis0ed air about them that was almost in

posite, and next to the Government House.
In our eagerness to get sight, We had nearly
stepped or the platform on the side next the
Oily Hall, being totally oblivious ut the time,
aad not for moment recollecting that the
steps lay elsewhere. We now learned that the
Prince had gone to the Government HOUSE
We followed, and took our stand by his car

the Prince. Some think 1t right to undervalue
him, because be is a Prince. Not many seem
TO think his personal appearance remarkable
We are Of different opinion. We think any
mother might very justly feel proud of such q
good looking boy rs vIcToRIA's eldest born
His face is very striking, and fully as hand
some as need be for Prince. The likeness be-
tween him and our young friend CHARLRs
CRANE, with whom we had the pleasure of
serving in the JOHN Brown war, is so striking
that nobody could miss it. Every person we
have heard speak of it says SO. Indeed, CHAR
LIE might easily pass himself off for the
Prince, upon persons more familiar with his
appearance than we are. We pondered over
the likeness when we were leaving the ground,
aud we could not help laughing when we re-
collected that the Princes great grandfather
once set price upon the head of CHARLIE's
great. great grandfather, and did his best 10
have him hung for rebel. CHARLES CRANE
is the great.great-grandson of President JOHN

ing sprouts-scions of the House OF Han

much alike that one cannot be told from
the other. meeting eighty-fve years after
the cause of offence, in Richmond, one Of
them heir apparent Of the throne of Great
Britain, and the other a citizen of Virginia,

We felt, as soon as we had seen the Prince
as q man does after taking exhileratiIg gas
when the effect wears off. We fel. as fiat as
champagne after 1t has been uncorked for an
hour. The exciting cause was gone, and We
came down to a dead level at once. We saw
no more of the Prince. His farther history
