Gleanings. Iy ever one wants information about European Roy.l Families, it iz always best
what we learp is told with a refinement and grace that canuet be met with outside a high-class American newspaper. For in etance, | learn that Queen Victoria cannot abide dancing with Mr. Gladstone or Lord Salisbury, and that she used to annoy those statesmen by always choosing her late domestic, John Brown, as her partner, and dancing Scotch reels with him i further learn that the Prince of Wales once tried to play cricket, but burt himself so badly thst no one now dares to mention the qame in his hearing The Princess of Wales hag # number of pet munkeys. The Czarina smokes More cCigaretics than apy other woman in Eurepe, and, what is more, she ‘smokes them ali the time, even at a bali” ! The Czar spenda his time playing the trombone and the cornet. Sometims he has an orchestra to play to him, aud then he sudden’y strikes in aud drowns them al! with his trombone The Czir is also 2 trained bexer, and none of his subjec s dare stand up against him. Which last is undoubiedly true !
We are also favored with some particulars a8 to “*How Royalty Dines.” At the Aus- rian Court, | learn, the royal menu is ex cessively daimty and the dianer is “a poem.” The King of Wurtemburg only lives to eat, aud if it were not that hx *‘ruus” two restaurants, his appetite woul soon bring him to bankruptcy, But when it Comes to » question of food, the Princ vf Wales tukes the macarouon. He, I hear, teeds four times a day and ‘‘makes «a beast of himself” every time. ‘‘He has wine at every me ]'—which is an unpardonable sin io tne sight of our Yankees.
It ia only when the vivacious historian comes to Queen Victoria that he waxes resliy el quent. Her Majesty, he says, 8 particularly partial to pork, aud has also + weakness for [ried fish, which she washes jown with bitter beer. She is repurted tw ave envied Americans their sausages. Sh: I kes tea, vccasionsily, and drinks « specicl sud excluuve kiad. A thoussod pounds were once off-ced to procure the Q iecn's udorsemeat of a rival tea. Now Victoria would do alaost anything secent for one thousand pounds. Bui she cvuld not be induced to endurse this ocw tea. Thisis incomprehensible to « Yankee. But Victoria really prafers whiskey sud water to any other drink, ‘*especially Amertean whiskey, clirye.” She ‘iakes ner nightcap every sight: she never gue: to bed withuut uu.” Tne W. C. T. Uz, however, wil be relieved to learn that “eoutrary to general belief and ber appesr- auce, she driuks but litle” I am be coming more and more coavinced that for true delicacy and refinement, we must go t+» the United States. ‘Contrary to her aprearance,” seems to me particulariy r.fined and wondertu.ly chaste.
An editor ia supposed to know every- thing; and I shouli be very glad if you woulltexplain to me what is the matter with the City Council. They are acting iv such a funvy way; and although they seem to try very hard, they cannot manage to have & meeting. His Worship sits in the chair. Butthe Mayor's brow is sad, aud the Mayor's speech is low, and darkly iouks he at the «click and darkiy at the foe—I meun at the retreating members o1 the Counel, who will not do business. 1 know that civic politics are hard to under stand. Some years ago Lappiied myself with some diligence to their study. Of myselt I could m»ke nothing of them. But 1 was t lion the very best authority vkat the Ccuncil of thar day lived for but one ot ject—that however much they differed upup all other matters, there was one re- yarding which they ask all differeuces and were « unit,—-and that was a rigid and im partial enforcement of the Scott Act. I never shoud have arrived at this con- clasion if I had been left to myself, but I was assured by high authority that it is true; and therefore it must have been ao.
So far as I can make out, half the Council wili not sit, by reason of their having taken offonce regarding some tailor. We were told that when a reform Councii watt appointed, everything would work «moothly; and a ‘‘gerrymander bill” was passed to enable a Reform Council to be sleoted. What is it all about? When people who ought to do their duty and will not, camuct they be made? Cannot the courts be called in? We have such a lot of them. There ia the Supreme Court, and the Cuurt of Chancery, and the County Court, and the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court, and the Court of Probste Phe City Council migh* be too much for any one of them; but, surely, if they all joined to- geiher, could they not compe: our aidermen to do their duty? Im ignorant of law and I ask for infermation. Surely the Chief Justice, Judoe Hensley, the Master of the Rolis, Judge Alley, Stipendiary Magistrate Fi zgerald and Judve of trobate Reddin, all working to geher,withallthe fo ces of their cifferen: courts, might do seme hing; andif their combi: - ed forces were ineffectual some of the many Justices of the Peace who reside in Chirivitee town might be called in, 1 could mention several gent'emen of much experience and great dignity who could reuder valaabie assist- ance Such a splendid array could surely bring the City Cuuancil to terms,
What is known as ‘* The Agony Column” in a largely ciroalated newsp»per is always intere esting reading, and many touching appeals to erring wanderers my often be seen there. In this respect, as in the matter of true refine- ment, the United States takes the lead,—at leost I have never seen anythiog in an Eng- lieh newspoper equal in pathos to the follow. io :
e. Willie, return to your distracted wife and trantic children ! Do you want to hear of your old mother's suicide? You will, if you do not let us know where you are. Any way send back your father’s meer- achram

If cso, what do you think of it?
What do I think? Well IT just think if the public would study their own interesis they would always buy from Prowse Bros. Their Stock is the Largest on P. FE. Island, and their Prices cannot be touched by any competitor.
But, say, do thoy manufacture their own wool?
Why. no. The wool in their Clothing grows on sheeps’ hacks.
ut EF see by some of their com petitors’ advertisements that they claim to have a larger stock of Clothing than Prowse frog.
its not true, then, for Prowse Bros, without a doubt, can show more Clothing and Hats than any two firms on PB. &. Usland.
Well, we will all trade there. Hut, say, did you hear they were going into the Carpet business? “vYes, they have their magnificent large room nearly full of Brussels and Tapestry Carpets, ete., already, and lots more to follow.
Now. don’t you think Prowse Bros, should be encouraged? Why, my dear fellow, ycu can hardly get in the Store for the rush.
Well, i would wait a week to buy what f need from them, and I mean to advise all my friends to go to the Wonderful Cheap Men for Cloth- ing, Hats, Carpets, ete. Their clerks are all so obliging, and don't think anything a trouble We wiil sound their praises from North to South and from East to West, all over the country.

\ (x) wee
\ ELL, what spare time IT have at my disposal I propose to spend at the STAR TAILORING ESTABLISUMAsNT, as I want to get several Sui.s anil Overvoats ete. before I leave for the Continent. |
As you know, Americans travelling abroid always dress n'c2, ani of course I want to uphold the style and digaity of the “Home of the Brave and th» Lind of the Free”; so
’
this oppurtunity I must take advantage of to advertize the Star of th: Hub of Canada.
The man is known by the companye he keeps, so Poole of London, Bull of New York, and McKenzie of the Star Tailoring Establishment of the Dominion of Canada are always associated with what is elegant and strictly correct in dress.
Our aspiration has always been to present a faultlessly fittinggarment —what is termed, a “correct thing” by our customers. Our success in attaining to that aspiration is attested to by our numerous customess from the Atlanti: to the Pacific. To enlarge upon the
quality of our gvods is not necessary, as the same has become a commoa household word. It you want for
Workmanship, etc, is in keeping with the reputation we have achieved. testimonial:, ask anyone you meet. Prices at rock bottom.
