Mn. En,roN Last summer I was in Montreal,
Canada, on the day when the Prince of Wales was
received by the subjects of his iIlustrious mother
Queen Victoria. was at the landing-was one
among thousands who witnessed his triumphant
march through the city upon that great gala day
Montreal had been weeks preparing for the coming
Prince and she made very handsome exhibition Of
her loyalty to her future King. The Boston Fusil.
Tiers, splendid company of infantry, had been in
vited there for the occasion, and as IN R. H., with
the long retnue Of soldiers societies and citizens
wound their way up from The trumpAal arch at the
landing, stationed at the corner leading into Notre
Dame street were the Boston Fusers. When the
Prince and suite arrived, the German band struck
up God Save the Queen" compliment gracefully
acknowledged by those for whom it was intended
and then, falling into line on the rear the Company
passed IN procession to Victoria Bridge Preceding
the procession in carriage. with several gentlemen
" from the States" we had arrived at the bridge
some time in advance of the procession. When it
did arrive, We had most favorable opportunity for
witnessing the very interesting proceedings We
were attentive listeners to the address of welcome to
the Prince, and also to his very brief though excel
lent response. The two speeches were read in the
open car provided expressly for the occasion-the
Boston Fusicrs occupying the platform alongside
One by one the officers were introduced, the Prince
bowling very gracefully, chapeau in hand The
ceremony ended with nine cheers for the Queen and
six for the Prince given by the Company, and fol-
lowed by God Save the Queen" by the band.
And what next? Ask the free citizens of the
United States Of America who were there from all
the glorious phalanx-ask them one by one. when

The Richmond Eraminer has the following
lifeliks sketch of the "Cniversal Yankee Va
ti0B#'
Turning from the Southern ConfeIeracy,
and looking to the North, we find that the
ancient constitution Of the United States has
disappeared like one Of those airy Castles
which the msglciaDs Of tue Ess- were wont 90
couiure mp by a motion Of their w6nds. Moth
ing OF it remains Roof, wsll, pillars, cspi-
tells, eHta bIstures-jC has all disappeared, and
lhe bas5ils Of GespoJismi dark, grim and ncrrI
less, az it was in the days Of Louis the FIt-
teeurh. looms above tue horizon.
No longer controlled by the conservatism of
the South, the de5l5ed Yankee, dGuuk with de-
light, dances Ei.h Joy over the grave Of his
liberties, and thaoEs God that he is the slave
Of the "s5roug EoveTnm Mt" The progress Of
the car Of Jusggrlaut over the pTostrate bodies
OK its HildOO rsniPpcrs, was never hailed
with half the joy with which the Yankees

zee. In three months an i!liJeTats. uacou,I,

French Gesp0ts required ten centuries 10 ac-
cOmp.lsh. Since April las. he has reduced the
abolition States to the condition in which
MaTat and the Jaco5ins Of 1886 found France
The loss Of their liberties found the French
people ready and fer0ciOus to regain them; and
their iorg and bloody orgies were the bjdeous
excesses Of men who were cTaZsd with delight
at having Tegained their bIThrzhE. 10 the
name Of liberty, they committed maug crimes;
but dTcaTy centuries Of oppression furnished
some excuse for their vices.

The State Of Virginia has furnished the Con-
federate service $50 companies uniformed and
equipped, according to the law. The average
number Of men in these companies, is 70 men
to each. They make an aggregate Of 50, 25O
volunteer soldiers from the State Of Virginia,
now in the ranks Of the Confederate army and
actually ia The field. They are divided into
hfty-three regiments Of infantry, five regiments
Of artillery, and seventeen bodies Of mounted
men. Besides the corps, this State has furn-
ishod the temporary service ct large masses OF
militia, many thousands OF men for home de-
feuse, and a great number Of persons who
have employed themselves in guerrilla warfare,
and in tending the wounded, who are number
ed on the rolls of the army. The actual nun.
Der Of Virginia troops on those rolls, we re-
peat, are neither mere nor less than $3.50

So much Of manhood. In money the State
has not been less liberal. The convention ap.
propriated the sum of 81 ,00G, 600 to the public
defense, and Sc COO, coo have been actually ad
yanced by the State government to the COnfed
crate service. Such is the official statement
The contributions Of the various counties anC
private individuals cannot be stated with th'
same accuracy. But they are sufficiently
well known to enable US to state with auther
ty that they exceed 81 900, ,000.- Richmond

The life Of a family has been beautifully
compared by some one to full orchestra.
each member of which performs a separate
part. The bass Instruments, calm and deIib-
crate, like the grandparents, keep the time and
remind the rect Of their duties The little
warbling flutes, like a neaJfull cf children,
breathe to the sun their ceaseless songs OF IN
conscious Joy. The violins aud the tenors,
fathers and mothers in the family, sing also
but they know What life i7, and know the
reason Of their ioyiulness or their ssGuess.
The sighs OF the horns and hautboys resemble
the poetic aspirations of youthful hearts in
love with an ideal-hearts that have as vet
tasted none Of prosaic, diseuchsnting realities
of life,
Let every enc perform his own part in the
right time, and we shall have perfect whole
solemn or gay, graceful or majestic, and trium-
phal march or symphony in do-accordlng as
the great Master above has written the music
But il the parts clash, if the bass, departing
from its appropriate gravity and dignity, be-
comes frivolous or tTiliug-if the tenors, in
stead Of being consistent and gentle, become
careless or harsn--if the viOlins take the part
of the horns, and the trom0ones that Of the
hautboVs-then the harmony is DESTROYED and
the spirit lost. Instead of a sof5 and meIodi-
GUS symphony, whose sweetness charms even
| in sadness, we have namelsss jarring noise,
! full Of uBg2VeTlsd movements and aimless
| sounds.

a Neither and Daughter in an Uu-
pIeaannI Prc.tcament.


An occurrence has recently come to light
which shows that, Notwithstanding the cIang
Of arms, the vagsriss Of the God Of Love are
as niscnievous as in the PiPlug Zines Of peace.
In a very fashionable stree, not far from
Union Square, there dwells a charming widow
Of thrty-siy, with her no less charming daugh-
ter OF seventeen. Tne widow had an abun-
dance Of this worlds substance, and lived in
luxurious style
few months since a young man attached
20 foreign consulate was introduced TO the
family, and became constant visitor. Be-
coming enamored Of the daughter, he boldly
confessed bis attachment, and was coHstdera-
bly, elated al finding bis ardent feeling recipro,
Gated. lie made his intentions known to the
widow, who consented, but would not hear Of
any marriage taking place for at least two
years, alleging as an excuse for delay, that her
daughter was "O'er too young to merry vet. ,
Things went on usual the young gentle
man was Of course a frequent visitor, ant
eventually a room was fitted up for his accom-.
nodation in the house. Within the las. few
weeks, however, the young lady imagined that
she saw evitenca Of too great famlIiaritWbe be
tween her mother and her lover. Stolen glances
of affection were exchanged, and secret meet
ings were Of almost daily occurrence. stung
by the supposed peTfdy Of her lover, he young
lady kept a strict watch on the movement ol
the parties.
One evening Of this week the lover, mother
and daughter were sitting together, when th,
daughter pleaded an engagement, and asked
to be excused for an hour. She left the house
but returned in ten minu es. Stepping softI,
to the parlor s1e discovered that which left ~
doubt Of the psrfdy OF both.
The scene which ensued can be better in
agined than described. Nobly sitting her owl
feelings, the daughter insisted upon her moth
er's honor being vindi Gated, and yesterda,
morning the lover and mother were un ted il
marriage. The daughter left the city, and /.
now living wits her Uncla, in Ulster, com
pletely estranged from her mother, and thor
oughly disgustod with the perfIy Of mankind

The following article from the Mobile Iii
bgus Of The 27rh, indicates very strongly that
the federslists have discovered that Fort Pick
ems is like the Inijau's gun:
It is believed that there is every reason to
suppose that the enemy at Fort Plcksts is re-
moving his valuables prior to an evacuation Of
that place. The fort is OF not the slightest
value to DR.. Lincoln. Ii is full Of sickness
Il is held at an immense cost Of men, as we'll
al ships 70 aid it, in case Of an assault. A.
L. needs those men and the artillery Of
the fort They can do better service elsewhere.
L is n stake to suppose that the o. S. gov
srnnsnj viii be able to ill up it's ranks accord
irg 20 the grant Of Congress. There is not
the least likelihood that either The soldiers OF
the money will be raised for the purpose. The
men depu ed for the service Of getting both are
appealing helplsssIy, almost, to the preiudiaes
of their people. Nothing Of any value has
vet come of it, and nothing will. And it is
thoroughly understood by A. . manag rs
that the occupation Of Fort Pickons is only an
expenditure OF means without the slightest
probability Of their being Of any use toward
The subiugation Cf the South. TIE fort, there
fore, is 90 be evacuated, 50 thatits men and its
munitions may be transferred to some place
Wnere they are more needed.
t is a little surprising that this policy was
rot adopted before; but the fort was garrison
ed under a deiuslon which our victories in Vir-
giuia have dispeiled; and only the great neces-
stiles Of a. L. will be the cause Of its aban-
dOlment.
/ If this be tTue--as We believe it is-it will
/ be a confession Of weakness which will help
! to relieve our people OF a fear OF invasion the
] coming autumn OF winter. But the scamps may
/ take away all that ia valuable IN the fort ant
/ then blow it up.
