A Democratic Prince.

A DEMOCRATIC PRINCE .

IT is a curious phenomenon that , in the Southern nations of Europe , popular opinion identified Freemasonry with extreme Liberalism—as the last two Popes have sufficiently asserted in their allocutions—whereas , iu the

Northern nations , to be a Freemason is regarded equivalent to being a strong Conservative . Prince Eugene , the youngest son of the King of Sweden , has just resigned his membership of the Order . The cause of his resignation is of

course not made public ; but few persons have any doubt that the known democratic sympathies of the young Prince have made it impossible for him to work comfortably with such stark Conservative colleagues . While Leo XIII . is

loudly proclaiming that " the secret Order of Freemasous is engaged upon a world-wide scheme for the destruction of the Church and of religion , " the Lutherans of the Scandinavian kingdoms look upon the same Order as

a bulwark of monarchy and of orthodoxy . The Swedish Lodges , as we learn from a Stockholm acquaintance , are organised upon an " exclusive Christian orthodox" basis . The very Radical Prince , who is an ea ^ er advocate of

unrestricted liberty of thought and speech , has found this basis a considerable stumbling-block . To the great regret of his father , " who is a Mason body and soul , " as our informant says , " and is reputed the wisest Vicar of Solomon , "

the Prince has quietly turned his back upon the Freemasons . King Oscar , Conservative as he is , has never exercised any pressure upon his sons , but has left them the fullest liberty to take their own line in politics , life , and

religion . H . ' s second sou , the Duke of Gotland , as English readers will remember , not long ago resigned his dignity and position as a " Royal Highness" out of pure love to Miss Ebba Monck , whom he married in

Bournemouth . He now lives as a plain citizen in Karlskrona , whore he is known by courtesy as " Prince Bernadotte . " The youngest son , Prince Eugene , goes by the popular nickname of the "Red Prince , " by reason of his supposed revolutionary tendencies . It would seem as

A Democratic Prince.

if some survival of the original principles of the founder of the house , the old French revolutionary hero of 1790 , Citizen Bernadotte , had all along been lurking in the royal blood , and that it had broken out in one of them in the shape of " Equality , " and in the other in the shape of

" Liberty . " Napoleon , though he made Bernadotte a King , had serious doubts for some time whether he was not too radical for the office . Prince Eugene has always had a predilection for the native laud of his great-grandfather , who developed out of a French revolutionary general into a

Swedish King . Some time ago he went to Paris , and studied painting in the atelier of M . Servex , where he mixed with the other students aa a comrade amongst comrades . His earnestness and artistic capacity made him very popular in the colony of Scandinavian artists , nearly all

of whom are strongly Republican . A few months since an anxious Swedish statesman ventured to appeal humbly to the King to put some restrait upon the pronounced Radicalism of his youngest son . The literary monarch reminded the fearful Conservative of

a story related of King Gustavus III ., who appointed a declared Republican as tutor to his son , Gustavus Adolphus . " Our future King , " said one of the Ministers ,

will , perhaps , grow up a Republican . " " Never mind , " said Gustavus III ., " as soon as he becomes a King he will be converted into a Royalist . "—Echo .
