late-lamen Brown, must be attributed her
lOng-continued seclusiou from the public gaze.
Having already been the subject OF eight at
tacks she naturally thinks discretion the better
part of valOr, especially since dynamite mas
come into fashion, Ii is not probable she Will
ever again figure prominently before her people,
and the old talk about Il regency is revived me
Prince of Wales is not so scary 1t Is doubtful
if he Is in any danger, for he is very popular
with all classes. BY his course IN FAR
lament he has shown that he faYors the
most liberal measures of Legislation,
and he is suspected of desire
to do Justice to ireland. Out in society he is a
hale fellow well met" amongst those OF hlsn
rank, and he is not above fratsralzlng with tnoSe
of lower station. In the sports and amuSements
of the people he makes himself one OF the crowd.
He eschews ponp and ceremony whenever pos
hible preferring to move about as any private
gentleman might do. These touches OF humSnl-
ty make his future subjects look very kindly
upon him, and his Indifference danger is per
haps, his best protection. Only four days after
the railway explosions that struck terror into so
many Britiah hearts, | saw him riding with ms
family through the streets of Cambridge. NO
guards; no fuss of any kind; nothing, except the
familiar faces of their occupants, to distinguish
the passing vehicles from others In the street.
The royal party were in two hackney carriages,
each drawn by couple of grays. In the nrst,
with male companion sat the Prince, quietly
putting away at his everlasting cigar. Anyone
who has seen his portrait would recognize him
instantly, and he Is really IA man of very prepos
sess1ng features. In the other carriage was seen
the innocent, grlish-lOOllug face of the Princess,
whose outer attire consisted of tuFban hat
and dark-colored waterproof. Opposite to her
sat her eldest sou, Englands future
King, who has recently been
entered as an Undergraduate of Cambridge Uni-
Versity, and whom father and mother had gone
there to visit on the way to their winter quar-
tiers at Sandringham. Beardless, and a regular
"hobbledy- hoy, though nineteen years of age
he nevertheless gives promise OF a fne develop
meut and has III the expression of his counte-
nance much of the sweetness and grace that
shine. FROM the features of The gentle Princess
There was no demonstration, though nearly all
the sidewalk seemed to recognize the party

with an air of condescending dignity, such as
pnt everyone on good terms both with the
occupants of the carriages and themselves.
ROYAL sCIoNs WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE.
In being thus free from fear of molestation
of the Queens children are not so FORUM
ate the Prince of Wales. The Duke of Con
naught, for instance, became quite panicky be-
fore his departure for India, and the railway
authorities who conveyed him ont of London
were equally so. The arrival or departure of
royalty at ChariDg Cross station is quite a
common occurrence, and usually such events
pass-off without any disturbance of existing ar
engagements. Not SO, however week ago yes
terday. Suspicion of some diaholical plot h adj
arisen, and the greatest precautions were used.
A large BODY of police were in charge
of the station all day, and ev-
cry portion of tbs premises where
explosives might have been concealed was thor
oughly searched. From the western side the
cab rank being cleared and the entrance by
steps from Nillers street closed. Along the
track within the city limits equal care was
taken, gangs of plate-layers helng placed at
short distances to keep watch and TO give hand
signals as the train advanced Not pleasant
way, certainly, for young fellow to take leave
Of his native land for a long absence on army
service But the Duke of Conuanght, to tell
truth, is not popular. In army circles officers
and men are equally piqusd at him because
the Queens favOritism has promoted him
over the heads of his seniors and snperiorS,
TO the best commands, and the IRISH dislike him
hecause of the title he bears, given to him
specially as a sop to Irish feeling, hut which
they look upon more a mockerY Of their aspi-
-ations for empire.
The safe arrival of the Princess Louise and her
ducal spouse is matter of general rejoicing.
The members of the roy al family had felt uneasy
about them for some time, and You may depend
upon it, royalty will nor trouble the Canadians
again, excepting, perhaps, by fiviDg visit,
while Fenianism finds So cOngenia a home across
the border. The Duke of Albany met his return
ing sister, who, atuiTed in crushed strawberry
d0lman, rushed from her state-r0nu 10
impiant sisterly kiss upon his lips, ana
she afterward showed how tile .ough expert
ences OF an ocean voyage c@,i cause even An
English princes to ,FnbeH'l, by heartily shaking
hands wi6n the Oh plain or the ship. In respond
ing te>an address of welcome from the mayor of
Liverpool. the Marquis spoke quite well OF his
wife. and also of the United ates. "Where,"

ference, but have always found the American
government ana peerle were ready to meet me
half way. II was one of the last acts of nv Of
hclal life in Canada to order salute to be fired
in honor of the American flag on the OCCASION OF
the centennial celebration OF the foundation of
the town OF ST. John, in New Brunswick, and !
was glad to pay that tribute token of the
friendship and esteem which feel for the Amer
lean people and the friendly feeling which will,
hope, always exist between Canada and Amer
