The mild young man who has been playing Governor-General in Canada for a few years past, is packing up to go home, and there seems to be a good deal of uncertainty aoout his return. The royal Court that he set up in Ottawa began to dwindle before his wife went back to England, and has now passed, away, and the young man himself is no longer regarded an a person of any particular consequence. He got a very bad hcare a few weeks ago, duriug his trip to the West, and it is said that his nervous system has not yet recovered. The train in which he was travelling met with an accident at right, and he was knocked about a good deal at the moment. As he had been reading about Fenians, dynamite, infernal machines and other dreadful things, his first thought was that a plan had been laid to kill him, and on being flung out of bis birth he exclaimed : " My God, it has come ; we are all lost 1" He was assured there were no Fenians about, and put back in bed, but the shock is believed to be telling on him still. A visit to the Scotch hills may put him again in good trim. His wife returned to England fifteen months ago, suffering from an accident, it was said, but the London Truth says she n*a since passed " a very pleasant time receiving her friends at Kensing" i ton, staying with them in the country, and diverting herself with | occasional trips abroad." What does that mean ?— Pilot.
