Our Prince Imperial.

1t Is common enough for he sons of
royal houses to receive offices which they
are tlagrantly aud VIGOROUSLY incompetent
to do the duties Of. The solecism OF Il bov
who happens to be also Prince becoming
a Colonel at ten years old aud Marshal
at fifteen, is too familiar in Europe to he
remarked a. a solecism,e except by American
-atrists, who fondly fancy that their coun-
try, in virtue OF having no royal houses,
Is relieved from this patented absurdty.-
The news we printed yesterday from Chi
cago will dissipate this fond Imagination.
Mr. friedrich Grant, who was graduated at

Of bis father would pretty clearly not have
graduated at all, has spent the interval.

by brcvet Of Lieutenant Colonel. over the
heads Of several hundred officers his sen.
ior-, and assigned to the duties. and con-
scquOndy to the pay and emomment-. of
the higher rank. IL can not fora moment
be pretended that proceeding So entirely
without precedent is cNp.icable ON any
theory OF the young ganiemau's merits -
