TALK OF EUROPE.

 And there they remained until the war was ever, and assailing with re- breaches those of their countrymen whom they condemned as responsible for bringing about the war, and crltl- cising the military operations of those who had remained at home to nght-
 am sorry to say that there IS some thing very much of the same kind go- ing on with the large American colony in Europe, and in London society in particular the attitude of many Of the members in loudly deploring the con- duct of their countrymen in forcing a quarrel on Spain, has excited not only considerable astonishment, but likewise disgust.
 Indeed. several of the London pa pers comment on this behavior of the American colony On the banks of the Thames, and of the Seine, and sarcas- tically intimate that the attitude of these unpatriotic sons and daughters of Uncle Sam, is in keeping with the recent letter of ex-Minister Phelps.
 Patriotism has never been consider ed bad form even by the most frivo- 1ous and worldly people in the old world. But absence of patriotism is accounted not merely bad form but al- most crime, and to this day those who absented themselves from France iE. 1870 to avoid the war are still cold shouldsred by French society, no mat ter what their birth or ancestry.
 Sir Tatton and Lady Sykes seem bound and determined to keep their names and their matrimonial differ ences before the public, and litigation between them has assumed a new form. Thus Lady Sykes has insti tuted a suit in the divorce court against her husband for the restitution of her conjugal rights, while Sir Tat ten has brought a counter suit apply ing for decree from the court to re- strain his wife from visiting him at his town house or at his country seat in Yorkshire
 Lady Sykes has been in the habit of treating sir Tatton, some thirty years her senior, as a dear old crea- ture," who is just little bit light headed" setting down to mere mental eccentricity the various criminal charges which he has brought against her, running in and out of his houses and ordering things about just as if there were no legal difficulties of any kind pending between them.
 Indeed, her ladyship seems to bei absolutely irrspressible, treating even the most serious and grave matters with the airiest frivolity. The courts have new, however, granted to poor old Sir Tatton a decree strictly pro- hibiting Lady Sykes from "molesting' tthat is the legal expression used) her husband any longer. and if she disobeys this injunction she is liable to be fined and imprisoned for con- tempt of court
 The reigning of Prince Menace at all state and official functions at HUI dppCdlS HI HIS OWu dominions or abroad, is invariably ar rayed in the uniform of Spanish rear admiral. He holds this rank in the Spanish naval service, and inasmuch as he received his naval education in the Spanish navy, and graduated step by step to his present status, the lat ter can scarcely be regarded as being of an honorary character.
 If call attention to this fact, it is because this dissolute and disreput- able prince is about to start on a cruising expedition on board his new steam yacht in Atlantic waters. and that he may consequently run across American cruisers.
 As bona f1de Spanish admiral the latter would manifestly have the right to capture him, to hold his yacht as a prize. and himself as a prisoner of war. There would be additional satis- faction in this event in the feeling that the United States was getting even with him in small measure for the mill lions Of American dollars that have been squandered in his gambling hell at Monte Carlo.
 Now that the session of the reich stag at Berlin has closed, and that the naval bill has duly been enacted. ther rumors of the retirement vf old Prince Hohenlohe from the office of imperial chancellor have been revived.
 This time they are likely to prove true, as l observe that Prince Alexan- der Hohenlohe, popularly known as the Reichskind, and who has been his fathers principal private secretary and assistant ever since Uncle Clod- wig became chancellor, has just been appointed to the important post of president or governor of Colmar, which is one of the three provinces into which Alsace-Lorraine has now been divided up by Germany for ad- ministrative purposes.
 That he should have accepted this office, which entails his departure from Berlin, shows that he is no longer needed by his fathers side, and from this it is naturally inferred that the old chonnQ11ar xUh ic, c
