THE PRINCE & THE FRENCH.

A ehr.rus of friendly and graceful ap- . preeiation has followed the . Prince of Wales from France upon his return from that country to F.nglnnd. For political reasons the French were predisposed to like him at the outset of his stay among them. Before his visit closed they had grown to like him for himself. They found him, according to tlie general verdict of their press, possessed of "gentleness," "charm," and "vivacity," combined wifh an alert intelligence, penetration, and a studious habit. The undoubted display of the latter was a compliment to their country, of which they show some special appreciation. "It is not a matter of indifference," the "JJobats" remarks, "that the future Sovereign of the United Kingdom should know that France is not a country in a state of decomposition, as her enemies assert; that Paris is not one crcat casino, and that, the vast majority of Frenchmen are decent people, keen ou work, true to their word, respectful of the independence of others, and determined to make any sacrifice in order to maintain their own." And the journal adds that if the Frenchman is often merry at his. work, that is a_ "valuable quality which only fools will consider to be' n defect." Another French writer says that those who had opportunities to observe the Prince's intellectual (nullifies "could not but rejoice for England." From the young man himself comes the brief testimony that he has had "an extremely good time" in France. Part of his enjoyment was a result of the freedom he had from inconvenient popular attentions.
