THE PEOPLE'S IDOL.
Princers Mary, the idol of a people, marries the man of her choice today. It is quite remarkable (ar the Daily Ex. press") to watch how the public is taking this event. Orther regal ceremonies may perhaps rival, or even sarpass it, in gor geousness and pomp; but not in interest. It is a personal interest. That note of real sympathy which so struck foreign vi- sitors at the funerals of King Edward and Queen Victona is bring sounded today, only it is harmonisel in the major key instead of the minor. They make their own the feelings of the Royal bride, With her go all their wishes and their prayers as if she were their own daughter.

A DAY OF REJOICING. There are troubles admit us, anxieties, much fearful looking forward to alls we know not yet; but what of these things (asks the "Morning Post") when a Princesa. marries? We drop all ele tulay Times must be a deal harder than they are, ere z Princess should wed the man of her choice, and England be found wanting to celebrate that happy evasion. Old and young, gentle and simple, are of one mind to-day. A Princess, God bless ber, is not married every day of the work. Here is no diplomatic alliance, the future of Europe in a union contracted for reasons of State. No such difficult considerations are in question to alloy the natural sentiment of cordial congratulation.
When all is said and done, we are more truly sentimental, in the good sense of the word, than many more effusive maces, and there is no subject (says the "Times" on which our sentiment is stronger, "truer, and more honourable to us thin on mar-
