by French immOrtals. Though she belongs
to an old Boyard family, even such mar.

brother, Prince Leopold, TO Vienna. Mile.
Facaresco has been sent away TO Rome and

THE EMPERoR's PROGRESS.
The German Empress is not going to the
Isle of Wight next Monday after all, as it is
now thought that the more bracing air of
Felixtow will suit her better. So she is to
reside there privately with her children
until after the Cowes regatta. The En-
peror, meantime, is to cruise in his yacht
until the end of the month. He Will 20
down the channel on leaving Portsmouth,
then probably to the west coast of Scotland,
not in the Meteor, as has been stated, but in
the Hohenzollern, The Emperor intends to
visit the Firth of Forth before he returns to
Germany, IN order to make careful inspec
ton Uf the Forth Bridge.
FRANCE INVITES THE CZAR.
Every influence that France can command
has been brought to bear on the Emperor of
Russia to induce him to honor Paris with
an imperial visit in the autumn. Ii is be-
lIeved that the Empress and the CZarowitz

BALFoUR's SUCCESS IN IRELAND.
MIR. Balfour had an exceedingly graceful
welcome at Windsor Saturday. There is no
person IN the country to whom the pacifica-
than the Queen. In common with others
and during the early part of Balfour's gov
ernment she feared that the problem of
Irish disorder would prove too much for
him, and his complete success therefore has
been all the more gratifying. 1t is no secret
that her Majesty has cOmplimented the
Chief Secretary on the success of his ad-
minIStratiOn.
EARLY AMERICAN PUBLICATIONS.
Among the new exhibits in the Kings
Library In the British Museum are several
specimens Of early printing of the utmost
interest, but Case No. 9 contains EXAMPLES
OF American and Australian printing. IL

Anglo-Amerlcan publication now eXhi bited
is the first edition of Eliots Indian Bible

TEA-PARTIES ON THE TERRACE
Some serious-minded members of the
House of Commons are beginning to COM
plain OF the num6erless tea and afternoon
parties which are taking place daily on the
terrace The whole place is, they aver,
abapdOned to women and the House is in
consequence becoming place of rendezvous,
which distOrts and alters its whole character
A party given on Friday by Colonel Sander
son and Lady Burdett-COutts TO the Duchess
OF Ieck is the last straw. and the sight of Jo-
seph Chamberlain pouring out tea and giving
strawberries to three or four Duchesses has
been more than the republican simplicity of
his former followers could bear, and their
orbearance has entirely disappeared. The
question is to lie brought formally before
the Kitchen Committee, on whose decision
the unfolding of the dignity and seriousness
Of the House will depend.
