week which have passed since the Princes landing a.

have been there is little 10 be discerned apart from
the May vista of sar3Dded towns and gorgeous halls
Of Ie option, and brilliant balls and levees without

staI De ou in prominent and memorable relief from the
d ~ background of perpetual pageantry, that it
serms as if in spite of all the honest enthusiasm the
iust pride and cordial delight that have almost every
where been 60 earnestly manifested, the period of this
visit had beeD to all immediate pateipatore the most
IIo6tless and unsatisfactory they ever have passed
through. Eyes blinded by the ceaseless glitter and
the mind is exhausted by the endless appeals of cheap
excitement. Iis easy to be surieted with this pas
trywOIk of ODy ard sensation. Nobody regrets
that il If almost over, not even those whose interests
depend upon the duration Of the of jubilee AT

that in lees than week he viii have escaped at least
for brief time from the penetrating presence of the
faithful recorders who have lopg given heir days
and nights TO new plans for his anDOyance that here
after his foreaken basins may be free from the intrusive
fingers of unclean enterprises that his garments may
evade INSCRIPTIONS investigation, and that his person
may TO be the target Of that species Of coarse
rbGldIy and STALE undy rhetoric that have teen aimed
at it. The Duke too, will have bic cause for sslcon-
graduation. In future he may hope that the reputa
ton of street brawer need not be forced upon him.
The Governor General will have a chance Of knowing
for himself wbet his own back be bruised whole

few lordest among tie republican scribes. And those
the hope of whose riddancel wakens all this oythey
100, may chance TO have their smaller o. salts
faction in their coming exircstion from the woes and
indgpites which Cypress them. No for them the
bented foIm and ear acute at friendly keybole. No
more the hours Of close afiation with plant cooks
and sympathetic footmen. No more the threats pol
luted by the angry grippe of "minor officials" No
more the ceaseless drafts upon imagination fou as
Vulcan's nithy." Do they not yeSrn, too for their
respite? Or has habit fancfed hese things TO them,
and shall we find them when they do at last depart,
anisbiDg ike cutle.sh, into fetd obscury of their
own creaticD blacker and nauseous than all the
rest?
The Prince hurried route lay from Toronto through
host Of small towns to London, where bah Of mode

The Prince and his suite quietly occupy the cottages
Witch sunOund the Clifton House, coming and going
ways as privately as the least noted Of the travellers
