THE ROYAL FAMILY. The Interest which ura Royal Family, down always to its conest, smallest baby, has for the general public has long bon the chief commcn place of satire. It is pretty well agreed that there is inexplicable exaggeration of feeling in the way in which the subordinate members of this bigh group are reganted. Not much differ ence is tarde between the who have political importance and those who have none. It is not the fault of the personages themselves. Indeed, our Princes and Princesses, if it did not come to them en evidently hy natare, might be said to be always taking pains to show themselves noder prooisely the same aspects as lesa exalted people. But, do what they will in this way, they cannot quite easccod: There is an enthusiasm in the public which idealizes Royalty in spite of itself.
