Some Things Can be Done as
Well as Others,
&c, &C., &c

After two months ramble on this continent,
through the British Provinces, the prairies
Of the West, the Old Dominion in the South,
the Federal City and along the route of inter.
mediate places, the Prince Of Wales, highlands
eldest son, has ut last arrived in New York.
Throughout his journey, from the moment of his
landing at st. Johns until now, he has been the
recipient Of one continued ovation, which,
increasing in proportions as he progressed,
finally eliminated in the splendid reception
with which he was yesterday met in the metro
polls Of the New World. The brightest antici-
pations have been realized, and It Is now an
established fact that we have veritable
Guelph among us.
1t 10 in accordance with the fitness Of things that
Albert Edward should have had magnificent
reception in this great commercial and fashions
BILE emporium of the Union, and the salvos
of artillery that awoke the echoes Of the bay
on the occasion of bis arrival, and the grand
military display that followed, were graceful
acts Of courtesy towards the great nation Of
which his Royal Hishness is the representative,
however much 1t may be his desire to travel
through the United States under transparent
incognito.
II is not for royalty per 50 that we have testi-
fed our sympathy, but for the person Of the
son Of one Of the best sovereigns who ever
added lustre 10 throne, and who, as daughter,
wife and mother, Is an ornament 10 her sex.
Not only this, but she is the living embodiment
of the law and the constitution of the only
L. Nxoo natl In, tho
own. We have not merely the common sympa-
thIes Of similarity in origin, language laws, TO
ligion, political and civil institutions, but we
are identical In those revolutionary principles
which gave both England and the United States
the liberty under which their people now live.
Those liberties, indeed, differ In degree, but
they are the same In kind, and each nation at
present enjoys the freedom best suited to Its
people. This, after all, is the great secret of
the sympathy which, Notwithstanding our occa-
sional disagreements, exists between the peo-
pie Of the United States and the subjects Of
Queen Victoria.
The visit of the Prince will not be without
its lessons. Brief as must be his sojourn, be
cannot but be impressed with much that will
prove useful for his guidance when, In after
life, be is invested with the imperial purple
He will be taught that the best defence OF a
nation is the stalworth arms and stout hearts Of
her gallant sons-a citizen soldiery, com.
prising the dite Of all classes--and that nation
who, like Lycurgus, can point to her
volunteer militia and say, Every man is
q brick Is in better position to de.
fend herself against foreign enemies than IL
she was enclosed In q decentralization Of
Notifications. He will be taught, II he has not
already learned H. that II Is not dangerous to
trust free and generous people with arms for
the defence Of their country; and, II true 10 his
instincts, II may be that, following In our foot
steps, be will one day save millions Of pounds
sterling per annum which are now paid to
standing army, and with volunteer soldiery
alone be able TO defy world In arms
Another lesson viii be afforded by our
volunteer Fire Department In the great parade
Of to morrow night, when the Prince win wit
ness sight impossible In any other city In the
world. II would be worth almost the cost Of
another City Hall bonfire TO show what may
come OF ardent natures and hardy discipline.
Equally instructive will be the varying sights
that will meet the eye Of the royal visiser-our
forest Of shipping; the magniGcence of our great
thorourhfare. with It's miles Of mercantile pa
Iaces: our fashionable streets with their elegant
ranslous, Ire atodes q luxury, taste and
