, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5,

'The Prince and Princess of Wales. |

= Oe © ot

The Paris correspondent of the New York World gives us the following pleasant pen- picture of how the Prince and Princess of Wales go sight-seeing at the Great Exhibi- tion :

I had not waited long at the door of the city of Paris building when there was a stir among prefect, councillors and policemen, and a stout gentiemen and slim lady were seen mounting the steps--the Prince and Princess of Wales.

the Princess, was with them, and by his side

cropped enough to have been born and bred in France—Mr. Cunliffe Owen, Secretary to the British Commission ; behind them all, a well-behaved person—lI really do not know how else to characterize him—Colonel Ellis, ‘*in attendance ’ on the Prince, with a little lady of middle age, in black —the Countess of Maeclesfield—in attendance on the Princess. ‘** In attendance” seems to have no particular meaning on these occasions ; it might more fitly be called ‘‘in the same swim.” The peo- ple of distinction in question see everything better than their masters, for they have nothing to do but look on, The real and only person ‘‘in attendance” is one Giles, a gigantic British policeman, in plain clothes, who might be said to follow the Princess like a shadow, if it were possible for her to cast a shadow of such a size. She is very slim, and the walking-dress she wears heightens this appearance, and makes her look like a yacht close-reefed, Her toilet is simplified to the extreme of trimness, her hair in a close ’plait, the bonnet has hardly a ribben to flutter in the breeze. The at. tendant Countess offers a marked contrast— too many flowers and flying pennants every- where. You will excuse my notice of these details of the toilet; it is a habit I have had to pick up in France, where it forms part of the whole duty of man. The role of the Princess seems as simple as her appearance, yet I have no doubt it belongs equally to the domain of the most finished art. She has nothing to do but to bow occasionally, to smile between whiles, and all the time to maintain a certain composure of face and form which has its effect as an indication of perfect composure of mind. i saw her at the beginning of her long, dusty and rather toilsome walk—for the foot-paths of the Exhibition still leave much to be de- sired—and I saw her at the end, and she had abated no jot of her spick and span neatness,

though the exercise had told on every- body else, I don’t know why, but I could not help thinking that her

mind was, in this respect, quite of a peace with her person. Everything seemed to interest her, and nothing seemed to interest her. She had just the same smile and sight inclination of the head for the gentlemen who explained the sewers of Paris as for the gentlemen who explained the pictures of Germany, and thought the things explained were» equally delightful or equally indifferent to her; you had your choice. Sheis in nowise to be blamed for it; it is the polish which courts will insist in put- ting on the finest natures, a composition which also serves for the trademark of a caste. The Prince is much more at his ease, much more human; he is allowed to laugh outright when it pleases him, to ask questions, and to turn from things that he does not want to look at to things that he does.

The St. John Teleyraph says that Canada owes no small debt of gratitude to the Prince of Wales for the interest he has taken in her display at the Exhibition, and for the zealous manner in which he second- ed her demands for space for her products and for the Canadian trophy which is one of the most striking features of the Exhibi- tion. The Prince has evidently not for- gotten the handsome and loyal recepvion which Canada gave him eighteen years ago.

Nova Scorta politicians are considerably excited about the local elections in that Province. They must take place this year, but nothing is publicly known as, to the time selected for bringing them on. The Nova Scotia Assembly has not yet been dis- solved. The Local Opposition is clamorous for a dissolution and an early general elec- tion. The Local Government organs, how- ever, make no sign on the subject.

Men or Business.—Rare almost as great poets—rarer, perhaps, than veritable saints and martyrs—are consumate men of business. A man to be excellent in this way must not only be variously gifted, but his gifts should be nicely proportioned to one another. He must have in high degree that virtue which men have always found the least pleasant of virtues—prudence. His prudence, however, will not be merely of a cautious and quiescent order, but that which, being ever actively en- gaged, is more fitly called discretion than prudence. Such aman must have an almost ignominious love of details, blended (and this is arare combination) with a high power of imagination, enabling him to look along ex- tended lines of possible action, and put these detals in their = place. He requires a great knowledge of character, with that exquisite tact which feels unerringly the right moment when to act. A discreet rapidity must per- vade all the movements of his thought and ac- tion. He must be singularly free from vanity, and is generally found to be an enthusiast who has the art to conceal his enthusiasm,

Physical Hducation for Girls.

In these days, when so many women are en- gaging in intellectual pursuits of a high char acter, and even are desirous of competing with men in the cares and anxieties of professional life, the question of their physical training ought to receive more attention than it has hitherto done. In this respect girls stand at a great disadvantage as compared with boys. Up to a certain age, say eight or nine, a girl mixes often on equal terms with her brother in his sports, indeed not unfrequently excels him hoth in skill and spirit; but after that age healthy exercise is sacrificed to the ber4- age of genteel deportment. The growing child is confined with stays, and her feet crippled with tight boots. Anything like vigorous muscular movements are thus rendered im- possible, and he sole exercise is the toi pid re. gulation walk. Owingto this want of functional activity of the muscular system, the muscles waste and dwindle, and nutrition of the body becomes impaired. Many of thetroubles women suffer from in later life are undoubtedly due to impaired muscular vigor, and much suffering would be spared if proper atten- tion were paid in early life to their physical developement by a course of systematic training. We do not mean that our daugh- ters should emulate their brothers in the cricket field, or that female athleticism should become the vogue. But we would point out to parents and managers of schools the dangers entailed by the present neglect of exercise, and indicate the games

that could most easily be adopt- ed Thus fives, rackets, and lawn tennis are games for which no great

space is required; the latter game might be taught systematically, just as cricket is to boys at public schools. To play these games with safety, however, stays and tight boots must be altogether discarded. Swimming, too, eught to be taught at all girls* schools, not merely because of the protection it affords, but also from its being in itself an admirable exercise, bringing into play all the muscles of the body. —Lancet. — nt O60 Qe

Many oi our readers will recall the story of the Glasgow lad who went into one of the banks of that city, to exchange some coin. Unabashed by the impressive looks of the clerks, or the gorgeousness of the surroundings, but regarding the whole concern with a non- chalance which many an older and wiser per- son finds it difficult to assume, as placed there for his convenience and service as one of the public, the boy laid his single coin upon the counter, which was about level with his chin, and said, ‘“‘i’m wantin’ four fardins for a penny.” Bemg told that they did not keep tarthings with which to make change, the lad glanced at the clerk and then around the handsome room, with no small contempt for an institution that could not change a penny, saying, as he resumed possession of his money and made for the door, ‘‘Sic a bank.” One is reminded ot this by an incident which took place in Goderich the other day. A somewhat prominent man there gave a cheque on a bank to a farmer, and on its presentation, the reply was given, ‘‘No funds.” The farmer came out, and meeting a friend, in the most anxious tone enquired, ‘‘Is the bank bust?” As much confusion existed in this farmer’s mind as in the Scotch laddie’s, about the functions of the bank. But what created only contempt in the mind of the lad, gave rise to fright in that of the farmer.

A Larer Pustisuina House.—The Tor- onto Mail announces that a new joint stock book-publishing firm has just been formed in Toronto, having for its object the publi- cation of new and popular books, the works of standard authors and the freshest things in general literature It is called the Rose- Belford Publishing Company, and starts with large capital, excellent credit, and a splendid reputation for enterprise, ability and thrift. Among the works soon to be issued is ‘‘ Canada under the Administra- tion of Lord Dufferin,” by George Stewart, Jr., and it promises to fulfilin every way the high reputation formen v7 it. Refer. ring to the new monthly, the Mail says :— ‘This important serial will be edited by Mr. George Stewart, Jr., who will have sole control over its pages.”

The world moves. We notice that the Sen- ate of the United States has rejected the bill allowing ladies to practice in the United States Supreme Court. But it is a significant fact, and one that thoroughly illustrates the pro- gress of opinion in the direction of allowing woman to compete with man im all the great works of life, that the bill was rejected by only a tie vote. No doubt there are many men who vote for movements of this kind, like pro- hibition is voted for, because it is popular, but there are solid gains undoubtedly in the direc- tion of opening up the world to women just as it is opened up to men. It seems very ridicu- lous to continue laws on the Statute books to prevent women from discharging certain du- ties. Slat et

Mr. Muis, Minister of the Interior, the other day told his constituents that ‘‘ Both Dr. Tupper and Sir John McDonald, in addressing the House of Commons, declared it as their deliberate opinion that the list of free imported goods should be enlarged, that all raw material should be free, and that machinery employed in the manufac- ture of foreign goods which we import should also be free.”

This ought to bea sufficient answer to those journals and politicians who assert that Sir John and Doctor Tupper mean to ncrease the volume of taxation.

Tue Toronto ‘*Telegram,” alluding to the approaching general election, says: The Reform leaders profess to be confident of the result. The hardest blow they will re- ceive in the contest will not be from the Tories, but from men who have, up to the late period, been staunch Reformers, whe helped to put these leaders in power, and who intend to undo the work they did at

the general election.”
