Buylug Bunn.

The Crown Prince of Denmark is the idol of the army. One day when the autumn military maneuvers were proceeding, the Danish army was encamped near the old Castle of Hald, in Jutland. The Crown Prince was in command, and walking about in camp after the active duties of the day were over, he found a crowd of soldiers gathered about a woman, who had brought in a cartful of buns to sell. It would be pay-day next morning, and the soldiers had not even money enough to nuy a penny bun. Still it was evidently a comfort to crowd about the cart, and inhale the warm odor of the delicacy which they could not otherwise enjoy, and no one noticed the Crown Prince until he was close upon them. “What is the price of your buns, good woman?” he called. “A penny apiece, sir,” said she. “Very well, I’ll buy the cartload. Get my treasurer to pay you. And you, my soldiers, you have worked so hard to-day that you are sure to be hungry. I hope the buns will make a palatable dessert after supper.” The soldiers cheered, and felt, no doubt, that there was never prince so thoughtful as theirs.

The New York Tribune observes that cargoes aggregating 42,000 tons are on their way to San Francisco by sea; but it discovers nothing more in the* fact thao a poetical interest in a revival of the romance which used to be associated with a trip around the ] Horn. Under the circumstances the i prosaic Pacific coaster will concede ; the poetry or anything - else as long as it will keep the cost of transportation down to something like a I decent figure.
