THE PRINCX OF WALKS.
London, March »8 —The prince of Wales
will have his fill of pageantry during the
next two months. He starts for Berlin im
mediately, accompanied by his brother, the
duke of Edinburg, and his am, Prince Al
bert Victor. The occasion ot this princely
visit to Germany is the eighty eigth birthday
of Emperor William, which is to be eelebra
with great pomp next Sunday.
The representation of England on this oc
casion will be notable, as it will bo the first
tiinb in the history of the world that the heir
apparent and the heir-presumptive of the
British throne have been on German soil
at the same time. The attendance of
the fluke of Edinburg is also somewhat
significant. He is the only one of
the Queen’s sous who lias shown a strong
predilection for naval, or, in fact, for
any kind of warfare. He is the commander
of the pet squadron of the British navy and
the husband of the, only daughter of the late
Russian Czar. He is also a major general in
the Prussian army. His absence from the
fleet which he nominally controls will Dot
seriously impair its efficiency, but some of
the newspaper critics thmk tha’ so distin
guished a naval commander might be tetter
engaged on tlte eve of a wir with Russia
than in dancing a tendance U]xm the Ger
man kaiser because that p t- uLage lias had
the good fortune to live through his eighty
seventh year.
The wags of the whig and radical press
describe the procession of the princess to
Berlin as a new “trip to ( anossa. ” They say
that Lord Granville’s ajiologetic speech and
the parading of all the available English
princess at Germany’s chariot wheels show
that Prince Bismarck has accomplished his
purpose of convincing England that she
must play second fiddle m the Eurot»ean or
chestra.
As soon as the Prince of Waite ran escape
from the Berlin ceremonial he will have to
hurry back to England to embark for Dub
lin. Great preparations are in progress for
his reception in Ireland and the festivities
will be very elaborate, although they will be
chiefly promoted and j>articipate'i in by tha
aristocratic classes The prince and princess
will be the guests of Earl Spencer and his
countess during all the time they remain in
Ireland. When they visit the south of Ire
land their headquarters will be at the Earl
of Kenmare’s seat, Ki Harney House, Kiilar
ney, county Kerry. The earl will not have
the pleasure of welcoming the prince, as he
will lie absent from home for family reasons;
but he has ordered that no expense be spared
to provide suitable entertainment for his dis
tinguished guests, and Ixird and Lady Spen
cer will do the honors of the mansion in his
absence. No address* sos welcome are to be
delivered by th** local corporations and so
cieties of tradesmen

feat of Phil Thompson aiif l the appointment
of Mr. Miller for commissioner of !■ o rnal
revenue, Mr. Watterson says;
“We are not prepared to accept th»- defeat
ot Phil Thompson as a declaration of war by
the president upon the friends of revenue re
form, nor the appointment of Mr. Miller, of
West Virginia, as evidence that it is the pur
pose of the administration to set itself against
internal revenue taxes which pay more than
one-third of the expenses of the government,
and without which there could be no ade
quate reduction of custom house duties.
“It will be given out, of cours.*, that this
isatriumph of Mr. Randall over Mr. Carlisle.
That, however, will dejxmd altogether upon
future developments. If the president allies
himself te Mr. Randall he will do it openly
and not clandestinely. If he floes, it will in
volve a hopeless split of the party and a new
array'of political forces. We want no such
conflict and shall do all in our power to avoid
it. But if, against the protest of an over
whelming majority of democrats, it should
come to j>a«s the advocates of a souivl and
honest revenue system will not be found un

that Lore will have a walk over. They saj
Gray cannot hold his own county; and th<

nelius Smith, of Pleasant Valley, near this
city, has the contract tor sawing into lumber
ti large number of logs from the battle-field
of Antietam. ll*** says all sorts of missiles,
from cannon balls tn buckshot, are almost
laily met with in the timber, and that it is
really dangerous to stand near the saws in
his mills when such lumber is being cut, a
number of saws having been snapped into
fragments wh* n running at a high speed by
striking iron shut imbedded in the logs. A
large, angular fragment of a shell was struck
by a saw the other day, and a perfect shower
of sparks rained from the contact of the two
metals, the saw being finally snapped in sev
eral pieces. In another instance a grape
shot was ent. through by a saw, leaving a
bright, polished surface on each hemisphere
of the missile. Many laaden bullets, which
offer little or no resistance, are revealed in
boards and plapks.
