THE FEELING with which England re-
CARDS this country Ia similar to that en-
tertsined by grown man for spoit child.
Entire disregard or ridicule is the treatment
American eGairs deemed of the arsvest
character at home received there. Aueri-
can newspapers publish column upon co.,
umn of telegraphic news from England, but
an American abroad looks In vain To the
English newspapers for line from his own
country. The talk therefore In American
newspapers to the effect that the form OF
the British government will be changed, be-
cause q man, previously supposed to be
gentleman, was caught cheating at q game
of cards in which the Prince Of Wales was
engaged, and because the chips used 10
the game belong to the Prince, affords
the "Britishers" great amusement, as 1t 10
we'll calculated to do.
