The Prince Of Walcs--ReceptI0n in
MOntreal-A large Building to be
Erected,
From the Montreal Gazette.

IRON the montreal uazetto.
In this journal a letter was inserted
setting forth the necessity OF taking
early steps for the reception of the
Prince OF Wales, and suggesting the
propriety Of erecting large hotel tor
that purpose. This building, it is pro-
posed, should be of rectangular form,
It's sides being each 400 feet, and the
height 80 feet, with tower 40 feet
high at each angle of the square, and
an intermediate tower midway between
the angles. The space included within
the walls of the bulldog will be $40 X
$40, which it is proposed to floor over,
if required for the purpose of a ball
room, and to throw over it a canopy Of
canvas. In the centre would be q cir
cuar dais for the Prince and the nota-
bcs Of the Province. The towers would
he decorated on their battlements with
the Royal Arms, Prince of Wales
Plume, and the Arms Of the Provinces
and the principal cities in Canada
while the Royal Standard, the French,
English and American flags would float
from each corner of them. The build
ing itself it is proposed should be a
strong framed structure, and so con-
structed that the material principally
planks) used in it should be kept II
loog, so as to destroy as little of the
wood as possible, in order to sell it to
the best advantage when pulled down.
The structure is intended to afford beds
for 5000 people, and would cost about
10000 or $1,000, more than one-half
of which could be got back from the
sale of the materials. Mr.. Coleman, OF
the Montreal House, is prepared to furn-
ish the building and to board the whole
OF the inmates at sum to De agreed up.
on. Subscriptions are being taken for
a Citizens Reception Fund of 100000
or $4,000.

LINCOLN SPLINTERs.-Thc DUBUQUE
Times says that an cnterprising boy is
selling Lincoln spliutcrs (rom Lincoln's
rails) in Dubuque, for five cents per doz-
en-. The Black Republicans purchase
them to pick their teeth with. If that
boy will hold on few months he can
get just as many splintcrs Of the Black
Republican party as he wants-but the
trouble is, they will be rotten and unfit
for use.

TnE Black-Republican party, dis
heartened by the defeat of Fremont,
have until lately been trying to revive
their fallen courage by entertaining the
idea that the supporters Of Mr.. Fillmore
in 1856 would be brought to support
Their nominations. The leading organs of
the party have often as good as admitted
that, unless such result could be ef.
fected, their chances for success were
about hopeless. 1t is now demonstrated
that these two branches of the Opposi-
ton cannot unite, and that, accordingly,
the hopes Of the Black Republicans to
triumph by compromise of what they
call their principles, arc as gloomy as
their prospect Of victory by means of
them. The latter they can never do.

How Lincoln Made $500.

Last winter, Mr.. Lincoln lecturcd be-
fore the Young Mems Republican Club
at New York, and other cities at the
East, receiving in every instance pau
for his Lectures. For his lectures at
New York he demanded of the club
5000. The amount was paid, but the
President of the Club was justly indig-
nant at the charge, and at meeting
held the next evening ok occasion to
volunteer his opinion Of Mr.. Lincoln,
free of charge, in words as follows:
"He thought that for a prominent pc.
litical man, and candidate for the
Presidency in some parts of the coun-
try, as Mr.. Lincoln was, to charge 5000
for addressing Republican meeting
was shameful. Applause. 1.-The were
toreceive nomination for the Prcsiden-
CIV, and this fact were known among the
generous people of bis own State, how
many votes would he get? He did
not believe that prominent men who had
won their way to high office by devo-
ton to the Republican party, if they
were invited to speak before this com
m'ttee, would charge anything for their
services in such a case. That's so.
He was willing to pay George Christy
for dancing, or Mis-. John Wood for act
ing at the Winter Garden, or Forrest
for impersonating the characters OF
Shakspcar but he was not willing to
pay men for addressing Republican
meetings. 1t was wrong. That's so. I
1t was wrong, it was mean: and he
meant what he said" Applause.

quietly on to New York, and thence to

The Prince purposes to stay in Wash

TIE West for the purpose Of engaging in
fishing and hunting excursion, Of which
pastime he is reputed to be very fond.
He is expected 1t the Richmond House

possible that the Prince may conclude
to travel incognito, and Is he travels
with but single servant, Thu will not
be at all difficult.
NoMINATIoNs.-We notice that some
of the Democratic papers throughout
the State are presenting the names a
different individuals as candidates before
that Convention. Nothing else could be
expected than that diversity Of opinion
should prevail, no two agreeing upon
the same man. We would suggest that
it is the duty Of the Convention to nom-
mate candidates, and the delegates be-
ing fresh from the people and represent
ing the interests of the different por-
tons Of the State, will in all probability
be able to agree upon men who will give
general satisfaction, as well without as

Of the same quantity Of fat pork; that it
is infinitely healthier food, especially in

it become more muscular, and can do
