ROYAL ETIoUETTE.-A curious instance of
the demands of royal etiquette occurr ed at the
opening of the Royal Albert Hall, in London,
few days since. The Queen and royal house,
bold honored the occasion with their presence
among whom was the Princess Louise, Mar.
chioness OF Lorne, accompanied not by her
young husband, but by her brother, while her
husband, under the merciless rules of royal
pageant, stood apart from her on the dais, and
did not sit in the same box with her. The
young Marquis evidently accepted the situa-
ton as matter of course, and gazed upon his
wife from a distance with calm resignation.

TEMPERANCE MEErINa.-The temperance
meeting at City Hall last evening was one o,
the largest that has been held in this CITY ior
several years. 1t was gratifying to see so large
proportion of young persons present, espec'
tally young women, who were called out by the
subject of the lecture, as announced in the
papers and from the pulpits. The meeting was
called to order by Hon. Neal Dow, who occu-
pied few moments in his usual earnest, elo-
quent and logical manner, urging more de-
cided and vigorous effort to put down the great
evil of intemperance, and to create a right pup,
lie sentiment among the religious and moral
portion of our community. Rev. MI harris
of the Abyssinian Church, opened the mee'ins
by prayer, after which Rev. Mr. Vlpper' VI
Gloucester. Mass, was introduced. lie COM
menced by saying that Wendeli fhiihps sta'
ed at a meeting in Boston short time since,
that all the success be had met in his advocacy
of human freedom for the thirty years he was
engaged in the cause, was to be attributed to
the inspiration derived from the language of
the Saviour. He could say the same in rela-
ton to his efforts in the cause of temperance.
Mr.. Vibbert portrayed in glowing colors the
evils OF intemperance; the danger of our young
men; and presented in clear, vivid and forci-
Die manner the duties, obligations and respon-
slbilitie0 and rights of young women, showing
conclusively that in the family they should
make home attractive so that their brothers
should prefer it to the bar room, billiard saloon
or club room; that they should for that pur-
pose mako themselves as agreeable to their
brothers as to other young men; that young
women should on every occasion discOunte-
nance the use of all intoxicants; that proper
regard for their own happiness should prompt
them to exercise their pursuasive powers in
favor of the cause of temperance, and take the
ground that they would have sober husbands
or none.
Mr. Vibbert is a very forcible and eloquent
speaker, has very pleasing address, and as
popular orator has but few superiors. 1t is TO
be hoped his services may be permanently Sc
cured, as he would be valuable acquisition to
our city Notice was given that ON Sabbath
evening next Mr.. Vibbert would address
meeting atCity Hall on the Social evil taking
