THE Boston Duly lldvertiser gives this
pen and ink sketch of the Prince:
"The Princes voice is soft and sweet.
not having attained its full strength, but
yet well past the squeaking treble of
young men in their carly teens. His pro-
nunclntion is that of IL cultivated New
Englander, with occasionally very slight
smack of the London dialect, just enough
to make it interesting. Sometimes, too,
he misses an r; but he does not pronounce
it tc; he would say, Il will ty," and not,
i will twy.' The personal appearance of
the Prince is extremely preposscssing.-
His light-brown, glossy hair, falls slightly
over goe:3uc his n0s,1ncdium size :. his
and indicates that its wearer is n person of
some character; his mouth is full, but not
too large and his chin recehes somewhat,
but not nearly as much as has been repre-
sentcd.
We may add, too, that the general
bearing Of the Prince is extremely odest,
though he at all times retains his self-pos-
session. When undergoing the rigid
scrutiny of a thousand cYcs,-an ordeal
through which he is often called upon to
pass,-hG wears II dOwncast, lstless en-
preston; but let something occur to eX-
cite his attention, and his face lightenS at
once with interest and enthusiasm. Few
young men of nineteen carry themselves
better, and his countenance, whether criti-
cised by the standard of beauty or intel
lect, is fully up to the average of that of
young men of his age"

The Game OF Euchre and Lifc-An
Arkansas Fathers Advice to his Son.
There is a genuine humor in the idea
that an Arkansas man finds the most nat
ural expression, even of parting advice to
his son, in the language of the card-tahle,
and the manner in which the terms of the
game of "euchre" are there fitted in the
game of life, is very ingenious:
"Bob, you are about leaving homo for
strangs parts. You're going to throw me
out of the game, and go it alone. The
odds is against you, Bob: but remember
always that industry and perseverance are
the winning cards; they are the bowers
Book farming and all that sort of thing
will do to fill up with. like small trumps,
but you must have the bowers to back 'em,
else they aint worth shucks. Ifluck runs
agiu you pretty strong, don't cave in and
look like Al sick chicken on n rainy day,
but hold your head up and make 'em be-
licve you're flush of trnmpS; they won't
play so hard agin you"
stIvc lived and travelled around some
Bob, and I've found out that rs soon as
folks thought you held out weak hand,
they'd buck agin you strong. So, when
you're sOrtcr weak, keep on d bold front,
hut play cautious, be satisfied with pint
Many's the hand I've seen euchred cause
they played for too much. Keep your eyes
we'll skinned, Bob; don't let 'em mig on
you; recollect the game lays as much with
the head as with the hands. Be temper
ate; never get drunk, for then no matter
how good your hand, you won't know how
to play it; both bowers and the ace won't
save you, for there's sartain to be miss
denl' or something wrong. And another
thing, Bob, (this was spoken in low tone,)
don't po too much on the women: Queens
is kinder poor cards; the more you have
of them the worse for you; you might
have three and nary trump. | don't say
discard 'cm all; if you get hold of one
that's n trump, sail good, and there's
sartain to be one out of four. And above
all, Bob, be honest; never take a mans
trick wOt don't belong to you; nor slip
cards, nor ;uig,' for then you can't look
your man in the face, and when that's the
case there's no fun in the gnmei it's regu-
lar 'cut-throat' So now, Bob, farewell,
rememGer wot tell you, and you'll be
sure to win, and if you don't, saryes you
right if you get 'skunked.' ="

The opera flourishes in San Francisco.
The company there, composed of ii sprink-
ling of Yankees, Germans and Itnlia"s,
concluded recently, very successful sea-
son. Henry Squircs, the handsome tenor,
and Madam Lucy Escott, the prima DONNA
became great favorites in San Francisco
but all the young ladies who have been
desperately in love with the aforesaid ten
or, may as we'll hang up their hopes, with
their bonnctS, on peg. for Madam Rumor
has it That he will soon fall into the ranks
OF the Bencdicts, and lead to the Chlnltar
handsome young widow, who has hith-
erto p!umed herself inviucible to the at
tacks of the little god. 1t seems the wild
ow was constant attendant at the opera,
and always occupied Il stnge-box. until n
short time before the close of the season,
when she suddenly ceased patronizing it,
and about that time the rumor of engage
mcnt was whispered. a moralizing re-
porter thinks it is a great pity that
such a handsome fellow as Squircs should
gle he is trump card, and will draw
large assemblagc Of romantic young ladies;
he is, as it were, public property, availa-
BILE and eligible. but the moment he mar
ries he sinks into common place individ-
ual, the property of one woman, with NOR
al and legal claims npon him, and, in-
stead of pNrading the streets in violet kid
gloves, he will soon be seen in willow
ware store, deeply interested in the rela-
tive merits of vehicles for airing 'tjuvcnile
results" The romance will be all gone
What young lady can get up any enthusi-
asm and sympathy for :'Edgnrdo" when
they know that as soon as the opera is
is over he must go home to his wife and
family like other men? Where's the ro-
nance in seeing "ErnNni" iu robe 'robe
de n"H," walking up and down the room
trying to quiet the baby? Imagine "NIan-
rico" going ont to spend the evening, and
having his hat made convenience for car
rying the necessary linen for the youngest,
that could not be left at home, or Dan Ju-
an holding forth on the merits of the ba-
by, and enumeratlng the number of deu-
tai appearances.

MACHINE FOR DoING Up WooL.-Nr James
Geddes of Fairmount, Cortland Co., has contrived
an improved machine for doing up wool, which
should be made known to wool. growers. An
apparatus has for some tina been in use, consis.
ting of box or trough, about three feet long,
ten inches deep, and ten inches wide ION the in.
sidel, placed on legs at a convenient hight.
Near one one end is stationary head or cross
piece, and there is moveable head or cross-piece
attached to piece Of plank sliding in the bot.
tom, and held down by cletesl, which is drawn
toward the other by strap and footlever.
Sits in these cross-pieces allow three strands of
wool.twine to be laid along the trough. These
are confined at one end by passing through holes
in the bottom OF the trough, and at the other by
being drawn into saw-slits. The fleece is folded
on table to just that point which fits it for the
ordinary process of being rolled up by hand, then
laid in the trough, and by pressure on the lever.
squeezed or showed together to the smallest
practicable bulk. In the improvement of Mr..
Geddes, instead Of attaching the strap which
draws forward the movable head to a foot.lever,
it Is attached to roller Of, say, three inches d
ameter, on iron shaft placed under the bottom Of
the box and forward Of the stationasy head.
ratchet-vheel and dog holds the moveable head
where it is drawn. By means of suitable strap:
and rollers, q backward motion of the crank
carries back the moveable head, after the fleece
IS tied up. 1t requires but very little effort Il
turn the crank. The machine, for which no pat
