A prince, if he be competent and discreet, can do things in the management of an army that a man of lesser birth could not, and all military writers make this point. He is free from the influence of cabals. Under him an army will not be prey of family influences or “political brigadiers.” Because they were princes as well as soldiers Napoleon and I'rederick tho Great fought their armies better than any lieutenant could have done. The Prus- ejan advance upon France in 1870 was the more formidable because the German princes conducted it in person. One of them, Prince Frederick Charles, was the father of the Duchess of Connaught. Tt has not been given to the Duke to lead a British army in important military operations, but he has carried into duties only a little less the qualities of a soldier and the advantages of a prince. ‘The regiments and army corps which he has commanded are among | Kritain’s most efficient. His manly bearing, his charm of manner, his transparent honesty and tho easy tact which is his, as it wae his prother’s, all commend him to American regard, and he beare the friendly greeting of the great Dominion whose Governor-General he is, The American response embraces the country, the man and the amiable wifo and daughter that bear him oompany. on A SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE. 'HROUGH the mails « country-wide echool of correspondence has been conducted upon tuition fees that on the whole are quite moderate. At an expense of less than one dollar per head every American hes learned something to his advantage in or by proxy of a friend or fellow-townsman. The lesson may familiar enough, yet its applications are novel, stimulating, edify- ing. “A fool and his money are eoon parted” is {ts burden. ‘According to the post-office authorities, the men arrested for frgedulent use of the mails during the last flecal year had taken 77,000,000 ont of the public. Their schemes fall under thirty-nine heads, including the eale of worthless mining stocks, “work-at-home” adhemes, fake correspondence schools, matrimonial echemes, turf tip- ster echemes, green goods ewindles, unfair gambling devices, fake employment bureaus, fake recipes, fake inheritances and ling can- celled postage stamps and Mexican money.” Much could be aaid for the service tricketers have performed in taking money from hands unfit to keep it, sharpening wits that weeded it, penalizing undue credulity and rebuking the cupidity of le willing—as in green goods and turf tipster enterprises—to get money dishonesty.
