The Queen, Princess Louise, and Prince Arthur, who have been
up not only the Rigi, but the more select Mount Pilatus, besides making a short stay on the Furka Pass, returned to Eng- land yesterday, with pleasant memories, we trust, of Switzerland, not too much embittered by staring English travellers, and laden no doubt with alpenstocks, chamois horns, and little white boxes containing Swiss cottages. At least Her Majesty must have been firm if she has successfully resisted the pressure of public opinion steadily applied by the Swiss to compel the novices who visit their mountain scenery to encumber themselves with these tokens of subjection. It would be interesting to know whether Lord Stanley succumbed.
