th May I resumed the march Emin's people, alone, succoured and convoyed to the Coast by Stanley, numbered about a thousand.--D. S. for the Indian Ocean. The fifth day's march brought us to the edge of highlands, whence we looked down into a deep valley, two thousand six hundred feet below us. In width, it varied from six to twenty miles. To the north, we could see a bit of the south end of Lake Albert. Southward, seventy miles off, was another lake, to which I have given the name of Albert Edward; and the surplus waters of the southernmost lake meandered through this valley down into the northernmost, or Albert Lake. Opposite to the place whence I looked upon the Semliki Valley, rose an enormous range of mountains, whose summits and slopes, for about three thousand feet, were covered with perpetual snow. As the snow-line near the Equator is found at a little over fifteen thousand feet, I may then safely estimate the height of these mountains to be between eighteen thousand an

railway to Stanley Pool must be finished, by which the resources of civilisation, saw-mills, tools, engines, boats, provisions, will be brought thirteen hundred miles nearer the lakes than they are now. After this, we adjourned to lunch, etc., etc. A few weeks later, the King came over to London; and, after a talk with Lord Salisbury and the principal Directors of the East African Company, whereby the boundaries between their respective territories were agreed to be the Albert, and Albert Edward, and the course of the river Semliki, from the centre of the southern shore of the Albert Edward to the northern head of the Tanganyika Lake, a strip of ten miles in width was secured to Great Britain for free transit, The Cape-to-Cairo Route, on all-British territory, thus anticipated by Stanley, and rendered feasible by this Treaty, was lost to England owing to the weakness of the Liberal Government of the day, who were actually bluffed into cancelling the Treaty by German pressure.

r came with a sweet smile on his face. In short, the queen adds, his care of her was like that of a mother, nor could there be a kinder, wiser, or more judicious nurse. Both the parents were for a moment disappointed that their first-born was not an heir to the throne. They had not long to wait for consolation. The following is a list of their children-- 1. Victoria, the Princess Royal,--now the wife of the heir-apparent to the throne of Prussia,--born November 21st, 1840. 2. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, heir-apparent, born November 9th, 1841. 3. Princess Alice Maude Mary, born April 25th, 1843. 4. Prince Albert Ernest Albert, born August 6th, 1844. 5. Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, born May 25th, 1846. 6. Princess Louisa Caroline Alberta, born May 18th, 1848. 7. Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert, born May 1st, 1850. 8. Prince Leopold George Duncan Albert, born April 7th, 1853. 9. Princess Beatrice Mary Victoria Feodore, born April 15th, 1857.

ithout being coarse or ever in any way vulgar, he still was not over-refined. He had a healthy naturalness that affiliated with plain people, though it was not offended with princes. Yet he did not like these last because they were princes, as so many democrats do. He found out their human traits and touched them there. In this way he liked the Prince of Wales, despite the discourtesy of Marlborough House, because there is in the Prince a vein of heartiness which Grant discovered. If Albert Edward had not been royal he might have been a good fellow; and Grant and he could have played cards or billiards together and enjoyed themselves. Grant's own naturalness was always as refreshing as a breath of mountain air or the smell of the pine woods. Once, in the Brunig Pass, on the way to Thun, we stopped at a chalet where we dined. It was just beyond the great rock, which travelers will remember, that overhangs the Pass. General Grant, Jesse, and I strolled on after dinner in adva

swept by I dropped my tribute of flowers. I was also present when King Umberto took the oath of office before the Italian Parliament, to whose members in turn the oath of allegiance was administered. In a box, in full view, were seated a number of royalties, to wit, Queen Margherita, her sister-in-law, the Queen of Portugal, the Prince of Wales, and the then Crown Prince of Germany, loved and lamented as unser Fritz. The little Prince of Naples sat with his royal mother, and kindly Albert Edward of England lifted him in his arms at the crowning moment in order that he might better see what was going on. By a curious chance I had one day the pleasure of taking part with Madame Ristori in a reading which made part of an entertainment given in aid of a public charity. Madame Ristori had promised to read on this occasion the scene from the play of Maria Stuart, in which she meets and overcrows her rival, Queen Elizabeth.

s good enough to congratulate us on the opportunity we have enjoyed of seeing the "first gentleman of England," and certainly he is the first gentleman of that kingdom who ever made a flying trip through the United States. With the exception of H. R. H., the Duke of Newcastle, Earl of St. Germane, General Bruce, and other noble gentlemen of the suite, most of the transient visitors from England to America have been snobs, of the first water, vulgar pretenders, who have given our countrymen a very unfavorable and unjust impression of English character. We are happy that the Prince of Wales and the high-bred gentlemen in his train have enabled us to correct this impression, and we are sure they have left the kindest feelings towards themselves, personally, throughout the United States.--Prince Albert Edward, the London journals may be assured, is a universal favorite here, and it is a pity that many of his editorial subjects are not worthy, in character and manners, of such a Prince.

The Queen's day. The Queen of England has so uniformly had bright weather on all occasions of royal display that an unusually clear day in England is now called the Queen's day. But her excellent luck seems of late to have deserted her. Her late tour of three weeks in Germany was attended by many small disasters. She started on a pouring wet day and reached Cobourg with a bad cold, which prevented her from visiting many places of interest; then Prince Albert's grandmother died as soon as they arrived at their destination; then the Prince Consort had a narrow escape of his life. This was followed by the insulting detention of her Majesty's steam yacht Fairy, and almost a fight between the Jack tars and the German officials. The weather was bad during almost her entire visit. She arrived, however, safe home at last. The Queen, Prince Albert, Princess Alice, Prince Albert Edward and Prince Albert were all away from England at one time.

undertaking which sprung from the thought of his enlightened mind, and was carried through to a termination of unexampled success by his unceasing superintendence. It would, however, now, her Majesty directs me to say, be most hurtful to her feelings were any other statue to surmount this memorial but that of the great, good Prince, my beloved father, to whose honor it is in reality raised. The Queen, therefore, would anxiously desire that, instead of her statue, that of her beloved husband should stand upon this memorial. Anxiously; however humbly, to testify my respectful and heartfelt affection for the best of fathers, and the gratitude and devotion of my sorrowing heart, I have sought, and have with thankfulness obtained, the permission of the Queen, my mother, to offer the feeble tribute of the admiration and love of a bereaved son, by presenting the statue thus proposed to be placed in the gardens under your management. I remain, gentlemen, yours, Albert Edward.

, which was heard throughout every part of the building, choir or nave, commenced the service with the usual formulary. "Dearly be loved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony." There is a solemn pause after that dreadful adjuration, in which they are charged to answer if there was any impediment to their marriage, and then, after a moment, the Primate passed on to "Wilt thou, Albert Edward, have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony! Wilt thou love her comfort her honor and keep her in sickness and in health, and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both she I live? " To this the Prince rather bowed than responded, his utterance was so indistinct. To the same question. "Wilt thou, Alexandra Caroline Maria, have this man to thy wedded husband?" the reply was just audible, bu
