The Duke of Connaught was married on the 13th inst.,
at Windsor, to the Princess Louise, third daughter of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, known in the Franco-German war as the "Red Prince." The ceremonial was of the most stately kind, the Queen, the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany, and all the great personages of the State being present, and. the day being fine and the crowd good-humoured, was marred by no accident whatever, while the pageant appears to have satisfied all who appreciate magnificence. The Duke of Connaught is, with the exception of his youngest brother, perhaps the most popular Prince in the English royal family, and the marriage is one of a kind to which the people have been accustomed ever since the accession of the House of Brunswick. The daily papers have, as usual, burst into floods of sickening sentiment, which have no response in the people ; but there can be no doubt that the marriage has the national approval, and the married pair the good-wishes of the entire community.
