NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE King and Queen were crowned last Saturday; and the King bore the long and deeply moving ceremony without the slightest injury to his health. Not only did he show no signs of fatigue during the Coronation, but on Monday his doctors, in issuing their last bulletin, declared that he had in no way whatever suffered from the strain laid upon him. The Service went smoothly in every particular. No- incident of any kind, painful or ridiculous, marred the perfect harmony, and the only act that seemed for a moment alarming was perhaps the most touching event of the day. The Archbishop's difficulty in rising after he had knelt to do the proud homage of his great office gave the King occasion for an exhibition of his natural tact, kindliness, and perfect courtesy. He, the bed- ridden invalid of a month ago, helped to raise the Primate from his knees, and as he did so took the Archbishop's hands in his and kissed them. That was an action as moving as spontaneous. The same may be said of the father's unre- hearsed kiss to his son as the Prince of Wales offered his homage.
