So far the Official programme which is destined
to be carried out, with some important exceptions.
We made our way very well to Grenoble Our
train was cheered as 1t arrived at some stations
on the line. and symptoms OF disapprobation, per-
haps derision, visible and audible at others.
A Diion wew were we'll raceved. al IyOns we were
not Still, there were no violent signs OF i'll will,
and no attempt was made to repeat the Outrages
which were perpetrated on pilgrims last year.
At Grenobe, however, our difficulties really
began, and am bound to say that the same man
who got US into trouble at the shrine OF st. Fran
co.'s de Paul, by reason OF his tipsiness and au-
thority, was again in liquor and in power, while
the stout viscount OF Damas was far beyond call,
up away on the Holy Mountain Of La Salette.
The rabble crowd who thronged the railway sta.
ton at Grenoble seeing that we were in pickle,
being wet, tired, hungry and oppressed by the
tpsy in authority, began to jeer us. The young
louts of Grenoble, who were in great force about
the omnibuses, especially took exception to
white nag which we carried.

sneered hulkng fellow, and group OF washer
women round him set up derisive laugh.
"That white dag must soon give place to red
one,n bawled a fat man in carpet slippers, who ap
peared to belong to the beer drinking persuasion,
and then there were some yells Two cooked hat
gendarmes at last appeared through the ram and
were greeted with solemn silence.
Meantime distraught women drifted away into
space. Three OF them were discovered next morn
ing by their anxious pastor hudded away in gro-
cer's cart used for advertising cheap sugar. They
had found it under an archway and had used 1t for
sleeping purposes, being driven into that act Of
trespass by the desperate state OF their after
soaking in unknown streets till three O'Clock A. NJ
| There were said to be $4,000 pilgrims going to or
coming from La Salette that night, with only seep-

All the hotels full to their passages and stair
cases, and the pi.grimages were likewise compn-
| Gated at Grenoble by fair and market day.
The directors OF the pilgrimage had appointed
the Church OF st. Louis as meeting place, and we
were all requested to assemble there at half-past
| five A. III. Fortunately every shop In the town was
open at dawn, so that those pilgrims who had had
no sleep could at least get iood and shelter. Many
OF them had not been to bed for three nights, and
some OF the ladies looked very limp and disconso-
| late.
TIE GRENoBLE sHoPKEEPERs
in general were civil enough, but had tendency
to do the wrong thing with demonstrative kind

OF Paris could, nevertheless, see French thrift
and French vanity equally busy this damp morn
ing at daybreak. Pretty girls, with smart bonnets

coquettishy, munched dry bread in the open air,
! and stood for shelter under the church porch,
rather than pay an inn bill ever so moderate Per.
baps they had been made cautious by experience,
for living in the French provinces at hotels is much
dearer than living In the same way in Paris. A few

chops which would have cost franc and q half at
Brebants. The French provincial towns also, with
the solitary exception o. Rouen, are dreary places,

opment. While waiting for the director OF the pill
