The Prince Still Constant.

Although the London World hints
that the reign of the American beauty

Miss Chamberlain still continues In
the graces of the Prince of Wales, and

friendly terms with the Princess
Friends Of her family, who have it
from her parents, say that either her
father or mother, and generally both,
are in the room whenever the Prince
calls. He is on the most intimate
footing with them, and seems to have
taken the whole family into his affec-
tons. He admires Miss Chamberlain
beyond everything, and tells her
friends that she should have been
born Duchess her manner and
bearing is all that the manner and
bearing of the highest titled lady
should be. When ii was reported
last winter that the Prince had gone

dimes with her every day. When he
enters the room the father, mother,
and daughter rise and make a pro-
found obeisance. The1 ceremony is
thrown aside, and he is the same as
any other man The friends of the
Prince say that he is deeply and truly
in love with Miss Chamberlain. If he
is. it seems to me that the parents of
the young lady are playing with edged
tools The Prince of Wales is allowed
to be one of the most fascinating men
in Europe, and his attentions to a
young lady. De she ever so much of
an American and Republican, are
very likely to turn her head. 1t is
said SO far she regards him simply as
a friend, and. knowing the nature of
American girls, l can well believe
this to be true. But supPosing it to
be true now, that is no reason that it
will always be true. Miss Chamber
lain seems to be in favor with other
members of the royal family, as she
has recently made long visit to the
Duke and Duchess of Albany. The
Chamberlains are well-to-do Cleye
land people, and are evidently tiatter-
ed by the attentions of 4 Prince, but
they had better be wise in time. The
friends of the family who told me
these particulars say that the father
and mother speak most enthusiastical-
ly of his Royal Highness They think
taat he is the most unsophisticated as
we'll as the most agreeable man they
have ever met

Education and Labor.

New YORK, Sept. 1S.-Rev. Heber
Newton testified before the senate sub
committee on education and labor
that the condition of the laboring
classes was a subject for expert study
and at the present time there was not
sufficient information regarding it
upon which to base any intelligent
legislation. The difficulties met with
by the labor reformers here were the
incorporate habits of the laboring
classes and the improper methods to
which the laborers resorted to In or
der to accomplish their desires. The
great want of the people is considered
to be an industrial education institu-
ton in the public school was woefnl
and its tendency was entirely onesid-
ed. 1t has given to the youth of tie
country a dislike for manual labor
which was very dangerous tendency.
The cooperation spoken of by the
witness is the greatest aid to education
of the working classes.

ton, spoke in clear and distinct voice
as follows: Friends, in the absence
of any official minister, / think it only
right that a few words should he said
over the grave of this poor man. Let

the country The address sets forth
tnat the time is prop:tious for united
action on the part of the colored men
to maintain their rights, and urges
formation of local associations every
where for the purpose. The address
further says, the republican party
has failed in many ways in fidelity
to us and to the great principle
of its political creed but
we dare not deny its
splendid achievements and magnifi-
cent justice. Where it has failed it
is for US to succeed. To break away
from the republican party before we
are organized would be an act Of po
litical suicide. We therefore say
stick, until by the new movement we
are ready for new departure.
