Prince Humbert of Italy was married at Turin on the

22nd ult. The most marked incident connected with the event has been the contrast between the reception given to the Prince of Prussia, who is no connection of the House of Savoy, and to Prince Napoleon, who is. The former was enthusiastic, the latter cold to hissing. The Prince of Prussia, on his side, is quite demonstrative. The Princess Marguerite, it is said, tore the lace of her dress, where- upon the Crown Prince took out his scissors, snipped the lace, and put it in his bosom to keep for a souvenir. The correspondents add that the feat, performed before hundreds of people, made the Prince quite the hero of Italy, and it does not matter much whether the story is true or not. Its circulation shows the popular tone.
