The distinguished gentleman was greeted

He enjoys a wonderful popularity in the
order which he has so successfully con.

capabilities for labor and sustained
efforts, else he could never accomplish the
work he is doing for the order Of which
he is at the head. The doctor has a splen-

mother" The impression made upon the
young prince and his party was SO favor

continue his studies in Oxford, which he
did, under the care Of the Prince's
