by one who ought to know that His Majesty has
really enjoyed himself during his stay, though he
has never lost the sad careworn look which Is In

which he is said to suffer ? IL is certain that much

one sleeping Immediately outside, the other imme-
dtately inside the door, and that ne brought with
him his own bed and bea clothes for fear of being
put into arsenicared sheets. That he used his own
bed and bed clothes Is certain but the reason Tor
his SO doing Is very probematical. however, It Is
pleasant TO think that his visit to England passed
away without any disagreeable incident, and that
he Is understood to have enjoyed himself.
WHAT HE SAW.
On Wednesday he witnessed review OF some
1900 troops, and on Thursday he was conducted
spected the Royal Artillery. In the arsenal the
Emperor inspected the pattern shed, where were
cannOns ranging from eighteen to thirty.eight
tons; the Nasmyth hammer called the Wool
witch ''ntan," the stroke OF which counts for
1000 tons, and which Ia exhibited at WORK
upon the trunnon piece or inner coil OF 3s-ton
gun; through the storerooms, the cartridge
factory and all the variety OF workshops. After
lunchng at the artillery barracks the royal party
OF the artillery took place. We English are very
proud OF mounted artillery, considering it, in
Decd the best branch Of our military service, and
1t does not do US discredit this occasion. The
march past OF the six battalions at iull Rallop
three guns abreast was magnificent sight, as
was heartily admitted by the Emperor.
The Prince Imperial OF France was present at
the review in his uniform as a woolwich cadet.
RESULTS OF THE VISIT.
Now that our imperial guest is gone we may
glance at the results Of his visit. The continental
press has been attributing enormous influence to
she fact that the Emperor has passed week on
our shores, and the Goulois even states that
marriage has been arranged between the
Princess Beatrice and the Grand Duke
Alexis, forgetting that His Imperial Highness
Is supposed to be already married The chief
result IL that the Emperor has seen his daughter
to whom he is devotedly attached has been in
strumental in settling the questions Of etiquette
and precedence, which have hitherto been some
what irritating to her, and has been heartily and
Hospitality received by the English people.

DISTURBANCES IN PARLIAMENT. aant
Ishould not be surprised II at any moment there
were to arise very unpleasant scene in the House
OF Parliament. The truth is that many OF the
newly elected members are homely and common
looking men, badly dressed and OF not very pol
lsned manners; they are unfamiliar with the ways
OF the House, they frequently transgress It's rules
their voices are rough and when they open their
mouths it is not the .'purest well OF
English undenledn that issues therefrom.
Upon these worthless the arlstocratic conserva.
tives came down very heavily Their organ, the
Morning Post declared the other day that the
..highest authority,-m the speaker-had
been shocked with hearing "words and utterances
not consistent with the dignity Of Parliament"
But what, asks the Post could be expected OF
men elected by household suffrage under the
ballot ?" This is simple nonsense. The utterances
OF which the Speaker complains are not those of
the rough manufacturers from the North, or the
full-navored Magures Of the members from the
Emerald Isle. They are the cries OF "Dividel
dividel" the ironcal "Hear, hear" the coughing,
sneezing and groanings given vent to by the
young conservative gentlemen, who come down
IN evening dress. flushed with dinner and wine,
ana make point OF interrupting any speaker on
the opposition side who may happen to be on his
legs. Mr.. Mitchell Henry, who though he sits for
an Irish borough as q home ruler, is an English
gentleman OF old family, made a dignined protest
against this disgraceiu conduct, which, II per.
sisted IN, will undoubtedly some night lead to
