med it up We are aware that we
cannot give the Prince the reception
that New York can; but we can do our
" level best" We have given him an
invitation, and he is coming. Fanstasa
Flexington can brush up her chgnon,
twist her angelic snoot into seraphic
smile Adolphus de Cowyard can wax
has twenty seven hairs ou his upper lip,
and prepare to simper: " Aw, me dear
Prins, how do you do 7" For / tell you
the Prince is coming Mrs. Angelica
Gushington, who has six marriageable
Gushlngtons, can roust old Gush. round
and lecture him, unit he invites the
Prince to dinner, rot that she has any
hopes of catching the Prince, but there
are lesser lights in his wake-The Me-
Toadys, The De Fawners, the real, gen.

Old World, Titled, renniIess, broken

This in America. This in a country
where the best blood of either ancient

dispatches Of the manner in which he
was received Mt New York, one can al
moss hear the bones of Washington
rattle in his tomb. But the telegraph
says that he is coming to San Francisco
and, mayhap, to Oregon. We say let
him come. He has perfect right 10
come. The same right that Susan i.
or George Francis had to come, if he
will pay his hotel, steamboat, railroad
and whisky bills, as they did but he
should not play poker as they are said
to have done But for goodness sakes
