London. Oct. 20.--An culogIst given somewhat ia
arrangement Of epthes described the object Of his
panegyric as uniting the prudence of the lion with
the strength OF the serpent. Lord sackvilc. whose
collateral ancestor and predecessor In the title which ne
now BEARS displayed prudence not altogether leonine
at Mnden, may possess the strength Of the serpent.
but Is less prudent than the most cautious and
circumspect Of lions The letter which Is now
engaging public attention both sides OF the
Atlantic, and which most probably formed topic Of
after-dinner talk between Lord Salisbury and Mr.
Phelps At Hatfield, Is likely TO have momenous conse-
quenccs. 1t will probably bring Lord sackville's
mission at Washington to a close and will possibly
defeat Mr.. Cleveland in the last century. spend
thrffts in Paris called their creditors les Angats'
because they were easily taken In. Lord sackvle
maintains this noble tradition Of the national charac
ter The best way OF preventing Lord Sackvie from
having IN future anything to do with American politics
IS for him to come home But the past cannot be
undone. He has taken part in American politics.
Already Mr.. Cleveland is denounced Englands man
and the British not the American. candidate for the
Presidency, and Lord Sacvie's letter will probably
tnrn a good many votes against him. The one thing
which country VIII not stand is foreign ntcrmeddng
with domestic matters. The suspicion that intrgucs
directed against lord Palmerson, and Lord John
Russels declaration that his noble friend would be
the Minister not of France, Austria Russia, but OF
England, were decisive In HIS favor
Lord ssckvie's resignation, recall or dismissal will
not undo the mischief he has done, which Will lear
fruits not only in tho Presidential election. but
during the next Presidential term Questions which
might have been settled may be kept open. Estrangc
ment which might have been prevented may be oc-
casioned and cmbittcred.

great dislike to any appearance of gloom at estvi
ties held such occasion, IL thought that the
sandrngham County ball would possibly be postponed
till the period of mourning for the late Emperor
Frederick had elapsed. But Inequalities given by the
Prince at his country residence not regarded
Court functions The ball which will be held the
9th proximo IS simply given In courtesy to their
Royal IIighnesses' friends and ncghbors in Norfolk
The Princess of Wales never looked better nor
stronger than she did last week. There is doubt
that her health greatly benefited by her recent
sojourn abroad. Her eldest daughter has ceased TO
suffer from the violent attacks of neuralgia which at
one time caused considerable anxiety.
During their brief stay in London the Primes and
Princess Of Wales went twice TO the play. and on
Wednesday evening the Princess took her daughter
TO dine quietly with Lady Randolph Churchill in Con-
naught place.
The Prince of Wales continues TO experience the
worst of bad luck with his racehorsc purchases
