pre-\u2022erre.There ia no miatakiog the earnestness and aincerity of toe protesta made at Waah-ingtor.No theory of electioneering exigencies can be invoked to explain away the no-compromising laognage employed by the leading politisiars.The reserve with which Mr.B*yard haa hitherto responded to appeals made to the State Department for prompt and energetic action, will not mislead German diplomatists.In correspondence with Berlin he has made his metning exceed-ingly clear.The United States will not tolerate ony attempt to subvert the independence of the Samoan Islands.The engagement into which the Cabinet of Berlin has entered with Great Bntsin, precladee us on oar part from assuming that any infriogment of tha nsotrality of the gronp ie contemplated.Bat it mast be owned that there ia enongh in recent proceedings to justify the concern with which American statesmen regard the situation.Why should Bismarck not make the representations of the Uoited States a pretext for retirement from a conflict oo which it was a mistake to enter, and which it woald be infataation to proeecnie.\u201d The Daily New* says : \u201cThere is no doubt acme room for misgiving on the score cf the facility with which Prince Bismarck can secure the agreement of Lord Salisbury in his colonial undertaking, bat we hesitate ^to believe that even the Prime Miciiter\u2019s pliability will

Canada.The chairman announced that the trade in the past year had yielded a profit of £11,000, equal to 34 per cent, though the prospectus only promised 10 per cent He oredicted that 1889 would see a profit of £20.000.A dividend of fifteen shillinge per share was declared, equal to 22$ per cent.Trade with the States in the raw saaterial was rapidly progressing.The financial New* gives promicecce

article in the Contemporaiy Review is the sensation of the town, it is ascribed to the Empress Fre derick, the Prince of Wales, Sir Morell Mac-kensie, Sir Rubert Morier, and Professor

everybody, according to the old rule of festivity, should sing a song or tell a st-ry.Lester Wallack\u2019s father, James Wallack.was one of the gueets, and with a kind of shyness, wh ch was unexpected hut very agreeable in a veteian actor, he pletded earnestly that he could not siog and knew no story But with friendly pirsuteuce, which yet was not immoderate Thackeray declared that no excuse could be a lowed, because it would te a manifest injustice to every other modest man at ta- le, and put a summary end to the hilarity.It was to be a general sacrifice, a round-table of magnanimity.\u201c.Now, Wallack \u201d ha continued, \u201cwe all know you to be a truthful man.You can, of course, tince you say so, neither sing a sonar nor tell a story.But I tell you what you can do, snd what every soul at this table knows you can do better than any living man\u2014you can give us the great scene from the Rent Day.\" There was a cu st of enthusiastic agre ment, and old Wallack, smiliog and yieliing, still sitting at the table in his evening drees, proceeded in a most effective and touching recitation from one of his most famous parte.It was curious to observe from the moment he began bow completely independent of all accessories the accomplished actor was, and how perfectly he filled the part as if he had been in full action upon the stage \u2014G ko eg k

that this visit should be paidCbefore the Emperor comes to England.Whliaui will come to England on a visit to the Queen as soon as the year of mourning for his father is over.It is probable that the Emperor will be Her Majesty\u2019s guest at Windtor early in July for a few day'», and while in Lond n he will reside at Buckingham Palace.But his stay in this country will not exceed ten days altogether.There has been a con espoudence between the Prince of Wales and the Marquis of Sal sbury about money matters since the visit of His Royal Highness to the Queen at Windsor last month.I understand that Lord Salisbury has ext-rrssed himself as being ready to propose a grant of £15,000 a year for Prince Albert Victor whenever he desires to marry.The allowances for Prince Ge -rge and for the young Priacesses of YVales will be proposed at the proper time, which presumably means when tbev marrv or when their father dies, or when the Qaeeu dies, whichever event is the first to happen.The official idea is that the members of tne royal family in the direct line of succession.i.&, the children of the Princî of Wales, should be provided for by the country ; and when Mr.Smith is questioned abmt the savings which are bain?effected in the Civil List, I bear that will be directed to answer that it is not intended to apply for any more royal grants, excepting on y for those which will in due time be demanded for the children of the heir apparent.DRAWIKG-ROOMS OF THE SEASON.The first drawing-room has baen officially an nounced for the 26th of February.Her Majesty has decided not to bold the second one herself, as it will not take place till the middle of March, when the Princess of Wales will officiate in her stead.There are also to be two drawing-rooms during the third week of May.both of which all being well, will be held by the Qu en, A DUUMVIRATE FOR ENGLAND.The succaes of General Boulanger in France is turning the heads of Mr.Chamberlain and bis ally, Gen.Lord Wolseley.1 hey cannot qu-te agree who of the two is to be dictator, so they offer themselves as a duumvirate to rule over us.Both Colonel North and Mr.Chamberlain are angling for recognition by the
