Her stay at Grasse was of considerable benefit
to her, although she was in good health when
she went there, and she is as active in State
affairs as ever. That she is not Indifferent TO
popular opinion was singularly illus
trated at a railroad station recently.
The Queens train had stopped for
few minutes at country place. the
people not being aware that she was on
board. A women sentenced TO Imprisonment
for having caused the death of q servant by
gross cruelty was at that moment brought to
the station TO be conveyed to Jail. The mob
who had gathered to see the criminal hissed
and hooted her roundly Queen Victoria
thinking the boots might be intended for the
royalty. was greatly agitated and nearly
tainted. An explanation revived her, and the
hearty cheers of her subjects, when they
heard of her presence, made Victoria herself

Both the Queen and the Prince of Wales
are more popular than royalty, a fact which
does not bode we'll for young Clarence should
he, like his young cousin the Kaiser, be callad
prematurely TO the throne. Clarence appears
to be a weaklng. without the stubbornness of
the Georges or the tact and amiability of the
Coburg line.
THE PRINCES FINANCIAL TROUBLES.
The Prince of Wales, it is noticed, has of
late avoided the company of Baron Hirsch
and other prominent Hebrews 70 whom he
had formerly been very affable and who often
had the Prince on show at their city and
country residences The familiarity of the
Prince with such society has offended the
taste of other royal houses connected with
the Guelphs and Coburgs. and especially as
common report has charged the Prince with
receiving pecunlary assistance from these
people. The action taken 10y the Queen 20
relieve the Prince of his debts is said to
be prompted by desire TO relieve
him of ldsagreeable connections = IN -

fensive upstart and far inferior to the Roths-
childs, separated by severa, generations from

are with the express understanding that the
Prince will square things when he comes in

his extravaganza, or perhahp because
of it. is gaining in popularity. He was one

with the Princess, on Mr.. Gladstone. during
the latter's illness. lie has firm mold on the
friendship of the Liberal leader Even the
Irish Parliamentary represel tatlves are not
without liking for the Prince, whose views OF
home rule are believed TO be much more
tolerant than those Of the Tory maenates.

The report that the late Arohduke Johann
has left q considerable estate is denied in a
dispatch from Vienna The fact Is he had

tives who assisted him TO equip the vessel in

The posthum0us revelations from the au-
thorship of Won Motke are generally inter
preted in Berlin as showing what the public
has long suspected. that the great general OF

PEACE OF EUROPE DISTURBED.
An uneasy indication as affecting the peace
of Europe is the tone OF mutual hostility in
the semi-ofical newspapers of Austria and
Russia. While the two ruling houses are
punctlliouslv courteous toward each other.
the newspapers indulge in much bitterness
and seize every opportunity, however trivial,
for untayOrable and recrlmmatng comment.
The semi official press of Vienna is prOdigal
with the strongest denunclatiOns of Russla's
interior and exterior policy and asserts that
her colossal ornaments are evidently IN
tended for action abroad. The Nova Vremla.
on the other hand. almost magnifies into q
casus belli the arrest OF a Russian pedder IN
Galicia on suspicion apparently OF being
spy. SO far as the newspapers reflect the
opinion of their respective governments the
two empires might we'll be on the verge of
hOstllities. This, however, has been going
on SO long that 1t does not seem 20 occasion
alarm. Besides the Russian army will be
fully armed this year. and the strength Of the
feet will be greatly increased by next spring.
