sailors for the elements have shewn no respect for royal During the preliminary Mediterranean cruise the Bac chante met with weather on her voyage to and again when putting to sea from Bermuda she was caught in such a heavy gale that she lost her having them car ried away by the force of the It has been a capital seasoning for them and the elder of the Prince Albert now sixteen years of has probably had his last experience of the salt His brother Prince a litte more than a year is to follow the profession in which he has made so cre a of both the Princes it is said that they settled down to their work from the first in a that left nothing to be In most particulars they were allowed to rough it like the rest of their and the only symptom of anything like coddling is communicated in the letter of a whose comments tend to make us smile after all the alarming reports we heard about the young Princes royal This writer says The Princes are looking remark ably and the ship has had a most successful They have shewn a great interest in all the foreign places they liave goin ashore in the capt tins They are slightly but not much having been pro from the suns rays by an awning which was always spread on board when the weather was We are not sure that their royal parents would not rather have seen them hack thoroughly tanned but as it the meeting is an auspicious and interesting This act of sending out the young scions of Royalty to rough it like the rest of the world is just one which the English people There is only a single item of disappointment connected with the arrival of

board to go on day after day hoping against LORD contention was that English art was highly Gladstones claim ia English artists are The former recognised an English mood of brooding and conceiving the

eulogized a quality which to the foreigner is most There is no doubt that there is what is called an English Whether we say it with admiration or with a English art is individual thete is nothing like it beyond our own nothing like it in the history of the past or in the promise of any other There seems to be a difference in for ex between the French Salon and the English There is a sentiment which we recognise as thoroughly French which to the isolated sometimes appears to be and there is a sentiment so utterly English that every foreigner at So there is in our present school a certain something utterly unlike what we know else We lack the breadth known upon the but we often exceed the Con in truth and We have not the force of pencil which characterises the French but we have a greater love for the holy calmness of art in dulges in less and is so f ir at a loss it is a little too but ia so far the more pure and into it is being infused some of the classical beauty of the new Our which once thought more of form than of now beginning to see that beauty of colour may be to some extent independent of though a firstrate draughtsman may be tt poor a secondrate draughts man may be a great Out of this conception of an old truth perhaps more strength will arise giving we not Jess beautiful but much beautiful and much more original and individual work than Gladstone has yet found occasion to comfort is given to those wailing in habitants of West London lately poured out their complaints in the sympathetic columns of the Standard as to the lack of drains in that fashionable suburb where they had located The whole of South Kensington is intensely The ancient greatness of Belgravia has to a large extent transferred itself It is a suburb of but the palaces are are no Such was the complaint of one who had most unphilosophically set up his tub in South was forth with followed by a whole crowd of complaining fellow suf One who set himself down as that un known

continually obliged to have the drains and different parts of the house by the sanitary inspector and While another sufferer purchased a ninetysix years lease of my and although I made every inquiry as to the drainage I only discovered some months after I took chat the in order to save shillings per had built several without the ordi nary S as they are to the soil Such parsimony of utterly unworthy of the wealthiest suburb in the Metropolis and we should be very glad if we could believe that it was pecu liar co that fashionable On the con if it prevails what are we to expect in the houses of the lower and middle classes all over England The very question is an d fortiori argument in And what does the Saturday Review recommend In a long article derisively headed really the sum total of the advice given not exactly to grin and bear but that the tenant should do what the landlord ought to have done for It says Surveyors cannot be sect on roving commissions to pull every house in London to pieces on the very probable chance something will be found amiss in The wholesale disturbance of exist ing contracts which such a crusade would cause would be productive of aa much as a faulty system of The tenant has iu this case only himself to look In that case the builders will probably have it all their own for probably not one tenant in a hundred would know whether his house was properly drained or not if the whole system was exposed before his The only says the really in so many is to purchase immunity from smells and Diogenes and his fellow waiters evidently thought that was included in the paid for their ACCORDING to the motto on the of the Royal Academy Art is silent but this character would seem scarcely to attach to the photographic art as practised in the Into the right or wrong of this exception it is not our purpose to because the apparently unquiet features of photography brought its practitioners face to face with a Metropolitan stipendiary and adhuc sub judice Us To our fond there seemed something essentially retired ami tranquilising in the practice of taking When the artist buries his head in his camera he always suggests to us some hermit in his He reminds us of the man in Thanatopsis who wraps the drapery of his couch about and lies to pleasant like many others who are by the world it would seem that the photo graphic artist does not always forget the world when lie thus retires temporarily from its sights and If the evidence in this un finished case were to be taken into any ac we should be forced to think that this devotee of the silent muse was not above the allurements of His charge lor a was only it is trun modest which ought perhaps to exempt him from suspicion of a merce nary Two came to the Temple of Silent Art in order to have their doubtless interesting countenances trans ferred to the sensitive plate and so rendered The silent poetry was accomplished and the modest fee when the seems forthwith to have merged in the The photographer demanded no doubt on the strength of having treated a group instead of a single The de mand was resisted and a free fight The two labourers were pitted against the silent poet and his while a married lady from upstairs complicated proceedings by joining in the and getting her head cut by a silence was broken in and the art transformed into that of self The without going minutely into the details of the remanded the photographic professor and his active aide Without prejudging the we would venture to remind labourers that a reduction is not necessarily made fT a number of images introduced into one picture whilst to the apparently energetic artist wo would once more quote Sir Frederick appropriate definition of and beg him in its interests not to compromise his gentle craft by allowing photography to dege into pugilism even in AND I believe from all I hear that Prince Leopold will be allowed to marry Miss Her who was said to be adverse to the

correct those His idea is that the Local Government Board could do with about two thirds of its present Should he carry notions into he will probably dismiss a Urge of highly paid officials who have
