after all, are not belligerent. There is lout

the right moment. The tone of LORD
Derby indicates purpose very differ
ent from that, but it will not &c safe t
take Lord Derby's uttersncss as indi
eating the purpose Of England. Being
foreign minister, he looks abroad more
carefully than he looks about him al
home. But if the meaning of the Sue2
purchase be not something more than
he now represents it, the English people
would care little for it. No commercial
transaction would have reused such en-
thusiasm as we saw fortnight ego. II
would not be wise TO fritter it all away
before parliament meets. Mr.. Glad
stone's first fury against the business
might break out again, and his friends,
who hsve thus fsrsueeeeded in prevent
ing an explosion, msy not be equal to
further eXertions. Strange that man 80
acute in perceiving other things cannot
perceive what the rest of the world is
thinking. AS to the probability of a
general outbreak, the week has contrib

believe, was really made. Its value de-
pends on the mood the Russian embas-
sador was in at the time. He is capable
in imitation of Prince Bismarck-of
hurting out truths, and also capable Of
blur ting out falsehoods he wishes taken
for truths. Of lste it has suited him to
be frank; as when he foratold the COM

ears.
The English Monarchy.

AS for the Prince of Wales, he re.
changed in every essential PARTICULAR
fat, easy, good-natured, sensual and
pleasure-l wing. A few years ago, while
he was lying all but in 0rtic1tLO aaoTtiS,
the old sense Of loyalty was stirred in
the popular heart, and prayer went up
as from the whole nation for his recov-
cry. Men hoped that he had been saved
from the grave to lead q new and better
life; but very soon he lapsed into his old
habits, and he may be regarded IS a
very fair representative Of the virtues
and vices Of his ancestor, George w. 1t
is plain, therefore, that the strength of
the British monarchy is not the person.
al popularity of the royal family. What
is It? This Is difficult question, but
we may suggest few things in answer.
The English are nation of merchants,
and..nothipg Is 30 timid, so conservative,
as capital. Again, there lies at the bot
tom Of every Englishman's heart the
profoundest respect for rank and sta
tion. The hnmblet man Is proud of
the sold families,n the stanleys, the
Howards, and the Cavendishes, and he
would feel that the whole county was
degraded were they reduced to the po-
litical level Of his own class. It is q
feeling which Americans cannot easily
understand, but it is the surest strong
hold OF the British aristocrscy. Again,
the English tempcrsmenti is not adapted
to revolution-itiss is slow, phlegmatic and
cautious. But underneath all this SEEM
ing quietu6e lie dormant the elements OF
great explosion. The restless, con-
tsgious spirit Of communism is abroad |
in the world, and England may not es-
cape. The people read; they have their |

Queen is gene, and her scapegrsce of

through crisis, it may be with safety |
to the monRrchicRl establishment, but |

The seven days that have just passed
might have been termed scEndalous
week. For scandal, public and private,
seemed to crop up on all sides. First in |
in order ss to social standing came the
Queen Of Spain scandal. Not that such |
an event in the life of her particular
msjesty was anything unusual,
but then this was particularly fragrant
case. . Probably the telegraph has al
ready Requsinted you with all the de-
tails thereof; how the pious Isabel sent
her pet Marfori (the male Nine. de Pom
padour Of this female Louis XVI to
Spain, with the intent of paving the
way for her return; how M. Msrfori be-
haved SO cavalierly to the young king
that Don Alfonso caused him to be ar
rested and thrown into prison st Cadiz;
how the Queen became furious anu
first, to annul her act of alb
and then to create a public
scandal by sending dispatches by tele.
graph in ordinary language-that is to
Isy, not in cipher; and now-but the
tory grows somewhat long to discuss in
hat fashion. Suffice it to say that Mar

Islands, that q decree of perpetual BAN
