Louise and the Leader.
A glance revealed the Princess.
Pardon the allusion, but we readily
recognized the original of ten thousand
chromos. She appeared to be above
the medium height ; a demi-blonde, as
all the world knows, a little worn in
looks, though she presents a more
youthful appearance than her age
which is thirty-four-might call for.
Her figure, though sufficiently well
developed for beauty, is somewhat
slender. Her attitude was graceful
statuesque. Her dress was a light blue
polka-dot foulard, plainly made. Her
features wore an expression of com
posture, as IL she were submitting
through force of habit to the formali-
ties of a reception. Her glance, how
ever, to the LEADER party, we thought
was slightly of an inquirlng turn.
The LEADER party just then felt
itself in a fix. AT the count receptions
it has always attended in Harper's
Weekly, a grand chamberlain in knee
breeches and silk stockings, and a stage
coat, was at hand to name the happy
ones presented. We saw no stray &C
quaintances among the royal party in
the car, the princess continued to look
placidly at us, so we up and talked for
ourselves, The gentleman named the
nearest lady. 1t might have been that
the name was familiar, for Her Royal
Highness amiably held forth her hand
and gave the lady's hand a cordial
society single-pump shake, The second
lady was treated likewise. To the gen
tleman she made a stately, profound
bow. The trio moved on, taking an
inventory of the car and scrutinizing
the form and features Of the rest of the
vice regal party. There a a tall,
slender black haired professor of
botany, standing along the north side
of the car. Down by the door stood a
small, light haired swell, with Burn
side whiskers. A very aristocratic
brunette, suspected of being the Honor
able Miss Mcneil, stood a yard or two
behind the Princess. She wa attired
in a dark blue foulard dress, the polka
dots being much smaller than those of
the Princess's dress. A little lady In a
light dress also stood off at one side,
and her the party set down as Miss
Harvey. The furniture was a tasteful
development Of the art Pullman
car" There were ~bookshelves, sofas,
and easy chairs. The next step on was
the step out of the cars.
When it became known throughout
the ~assemblage that the Princess Lou
Use would neither show herself nor per-
NIT the masses to call upon her, there
was a feeling of disappointment.
LOrne and the Lender
Governor General Campbell, alias
the Marquis of Lorne, however, was
more democratic in his tendencies and
actions. He came out on the platform
Of his car, and met many of our city
ems and their ladies. Determined upon
getting some of the views of the mar
quis, the writer obtained an introduc-
tion by courtesy of Mr.. j.. Bagot, of
Lorne's party. His excellency the
governor general of Canada said he
was well pleased to meet a newspaper
man, and of course we returned the
compliment. But first let us speak of
the appearance of the man. He is
nearly IS years of age, although the
lines of his face would indicute greater
age His hair is light in color, his eyes
blue, while his dainty blonde moustache
is just long enough to fail to conceal a
contracted mouth that is fTontis-
pieced with small crooked teeth, rend-
cred conspicuous by the short lip char
acteristic of the Scotch. His nose is
neither Roman nor Grecian, but Scotch,
if we may be permitted to originate a
school of nasal organs. In hne, it is
just like that of his father, the illus
trious Duke of Argyll, as shown in pc
lures. Lorne is not a handsome man,
although it was said that he was at the
time.of his marriage. He had but lit
tie brains then, however. Now that
he has undoubtedly a better developed
head he has less beauty. You cannot
expect beauty and brains to go hand In
hand-or to speak literally, head in
face. Perhaps this explains the plain
ness of the Princess Louise.
Lorna wore nm his haad n ,Uhita cnrk
hemlet which c%ontrasted strongly with
his horid ~contenance. His tall, stout
form was encased in a glove fitting
semi-sacque coat, buttoned high; and he
wore light ~pantaloons. In his hand he
twirled a cane and dexterously man az
ed to show his fine signet ring set with
bloodstone. In speech he affects the
manner of Englishmen. One would
not know, from his conversation, that
he is a Scotchman born and bred. His
contracted mouth prevents distinct
enunciatIon, the aspirates coming out
of his mouth in a horribly mangled CON
dition, so that it was difficult to under
stand his sentences, but in a little while
we became accustomed 10 him, and 80
understood his speech.
Without going into the details and
exact language of the Marquis-and.
by the way, he employs good language
the following is the substance of his
talk. He expressed surprise at seeing
such a large city on the plains, and,
