In search of that goiden , the bairy eagle, we threw ourselves 1 that point into this human stream, in the bope that a happy fortune might bear ue to the eagie. We were carried about among Ddoats. througb an infinite variety of clothes wringers, into shoe shops, china shops, lace shops, and even candy shops, and iunumerable sirens solicited ua to tarry and buy. ‘We said“ by and by,” and, persevering in our face with the eagle.

This state of affairs accounts for the prominence with: which the Prince of Wales is brought forward. One reason that will retard and keep back this list resort ap Jong as possible is the fact that the Prince is inclined te bea tory, and if made Rogent Iris first act would be to call the Earl of Derby to the Premiership.
