PRINCE OF WALES IN AMERICA
His Memorable Visit To the United
tat Over Thirty-fya Vars Aoa.

States Over Thirty-five Years Ago.
Stephen Fiske, in recalling "When the
Prince of Wales was in America, writes
IN the January Ladies' Home Journal,
that on September II 1855 he entered the
United States for the first time. riding to
the American sid for a farewell view of
Niagara. hen, after the usual ceremonies
at Hamilton, the Prince crossed to De-
troit, on September 20, and became the
guest of the people of this Republic. The
Duke of Newcastle had insisted that the
Prince as Baron Renfrew, should be re-
ceived by the people, and not officially by
the Government, n this
was carried out during his tour. 1t SEEM
ed as II all the people, headed by the Gov
ernor of Michigan, had rushed to welcome
him at Detroit. The crowds were SO dense
that the Royal party could not get to their
hotel through the main streets. There was
a similar crowd at Chicago, which was
reached two days later. ST. Louis. where
the Primo had q splendid reception on the
Fair Grounds, and opened the Western
Academy of Arts, and Cincinnati, where
another tremendous crowd awaited him,
and he danced all night at another ball.,
made the Prince glad to get to the COM
parative quiet of Washington. where he
was introduced by Lord Lyons to Presi-
dent Buchanan and Miss Harriet Lane,
and was elegantly, but privately, enter
tanned at the White House ; Subsequent
" he visited Richmond, Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, and some other eastern
cities, in nearly all of which he was
sumptuously entertained, and was the
guest Of honor at receptions, balls, din
ners, etc. On October 20 the Prince re-
embarked from Portland, Maine, for Eng
land. Owing to a severe storm his ship,
Hero" had been driven out of her
course, was several days overdue, and her
officers and crew were reduced to scant
salt fare. England was greatly alarmed
for the safety of the young Prince, and
rejoiced whel the Hero finally landed
him safe on his native shore.

Count Bismarck's study, as he called
it in English, was a room of no great
size nor furnished with any ~splendor. 1t
was comfortable, nothing more" writes
the veteran correspondent, Mr.. George
w. Smalley,s in the January Ladies
Home Journal Their was asrug on
the varnished floor of the usual hard
wood. A large writing desk, Uttered with
papers, stood in the right-hand corner on
the further side. There were few books.
A print or two hung on the walls. A
sideboard stood in the centre, neal the
writing table, and there were arm-chairs.
1t was a working room; none of the
coquetry nor luxury which some hard
workers like to surround themselves with
was visible. There was no lack of com
fort, but comfort had not been the thing
chiefly considered when the room had
been furnished. The palace, as a whole,
though on a Large scale, with large rooms,
and many of them had no great splendor.
The impression, as of other official resi-
dences which ! afterward saw, was one
of dignity; the appointments were suffi-
cient, the rooms overloaded sometimes
with ornament, but left rather bare of
furniture"

NAVAL RESERVE WORK
How Jersey City's Sailors Are
Kept Busy During the
Winter Months.

The Battalion Of the East, Ma

ball on Tuesday, February 90. at
Quartet Club Hall. Hoboken, when it is
expected that many persons of promi-
hence both in this State and New York
viii be in attendance. Officers and mem
bers will be in full uniform.
The First Division is drilling faithfully
and intends to keep its grip. on the col
ors. AS soon as spring comes, or as
soon as the weather becomes mild enough
to permit of 1t. the division will be given
practice in skirmish drill, with the use
of blank cartridges. and also some target
practice, The Importance of skirmish
drill to a military organization of any
kind can scarcely be overestimated If
the reserve men were ever called out for
active service 1t IS almost a certainty
that their duty would be of the nature of
keeping a mob ip check. and in this sort
Of work the skirmish drill is bound to
plas an all-important part. In fact, if
the reserves were needed for any sort of
service ashore the skirmish drill would
be bound to come in handy. How true
this is anyone can easily learn by the
simple reading of a part of the history
EA tHL
OF the late Civil War. Skirmishers were
in demand almost constantly; every en-
gagenent was opened by them, with
very few exceptions. skirmishers are
