aud chief of the Established Church he
will increase his knowledge of the lit
urgy. For in reciting the confession
with much JUNCTION and impressiveness
he used generally TO substitute the
words, 1--WE have left undOne those
things which we ought not 10 have done,
and done those things which we ought
to have done" in lieu OF the correct and
generally accepted version. This pc
culiar reading of the liturgy continued
until at last one of his officers drew his
attention to the matter by requesting 10
know whether ne meant 10 INFER there
by that the crew of the Thrush was al
together above reproach.
Unlike his elder brother, who Is eX-
tremely economical and careful in his
expenditures, Prince George is inclined
TO be extravagant; while the fact or his
being sailor is perhaps the cause OF
his having been the hero OF quite a
gcodly number of love affairs, none OF
them, however, of very serious or last
ing nature, fickleness Of heart being APP
parently inherent to the seafaring pro-
fession. 1t is certain, however, that he
will now be forced to abandon the ocean
and remain on terra frma, his life alone
standing now between that OF the Prince
OF Wales and the Duchess OF File. For
il is the latter and her child, the latter
a commoner at present in the eyes OF
the law, who come next In the line oil
succession in the event OF Prince
Georges death.
Prince George. it may be added, is ut
terly devoid OF any affectatiOn and very
democratic.in his ways. There is moth
ing that he abhors so much as hollow
form, pretense and conventlonallty,
and he abominates snobbery in every
one of its manifold forms. Very merry
hearted and somewhat given to the
practice of laughing at the most solemn
moments, he is the terror OF all the
hoary-headed old court officials who re-
gard etiquette as q part and parcel OF
their creed. He is the favorite grand
child of the Queen, possibly because he
is lust the one of all her extensive
family, numbering over seventy grand
children, who processes the least rever-
ence for her. There is well-authenti-
Gated story, Of his having, when little
boy, quietly disappeared under the
table while dining with the Queen at
Windsor in consequence OF few words
of reproach from his august ana aged
relative. 1t is added that when his ao-
sepce was remarked and he was sum
moned by his grandmother TO come from
under the table, he did so, but In
state OF absolute nudity, TO the min
gIed horror, embarrassment and amuse-
ment OF Her Majesty and her guests.
Prince George is good public speak
err. another matter in which he differs
from his brother, aud the little speech
which he delivered when presented
connie of years ago with the freedom OF
the city of London at the Guild Hall
was pithy and neat in the extreme. The
casket containing the Illuminated copy
OF the document comforting his freedom
was made in part Of oak obtained from
Nelson's flagship, the Victory. The
Princes admission to the freedom form
ed a notable addition to the unbroken
series and SUGGESTIONS OF four genera
tious of the English royal house, com
prising the Princes great-grandfather,
the Prince Consort, his father, the
Prince of Wales, besides his four I'M
cles and his brother. Such q succession
OF freemen Of London in one family Is
without any precedent In England.
