s LONDON, May ls.-To-day having been
Fixed upon by the. Prince Of Wales for
his visit to the city Of London after his
return from India, the mostI elaborate
preparations have been made for his en-
tertainment. The Stock Exchange is
closed. A ball and banquet will take
place this evening. There will be FIVE
hundred guests at the banquet and five
thousand at the ball. The Guild Hall,
which is to be the scene of the festivi-
ties, has been magni6ceHtly decorated.
Nearly all the princes and %princesses OF
the royal family, Disraeli and the other
members of the government and all the
great officers Of state will be present.
The streets adjacent TO Guild Hall will
be closed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
to all vehicles except the carriages
Of the guests. The members Of the
royal family are to arrive last,
and will come by the way Of Victoria
embarkment, Queen Victoria and Queen
streets, reaching Guild Hall at o'clock.
The address of the corporation of Lon
don will be presented to the Prince in q
magnificent gold casket, after which will
follow the banquet. The toasts to be Of
fered are few, and the speeches will be
brief. The ball is announced to begin
at 8 o'clock. The yard Of Guild Hall
has been entirely covered with a tenn
porsry structure, to be used as the bal
room. The Lord Mayor has requested
that there be no Examinations of houses
or streets, because the additional crowds
thus attracted would render the passage
Of vehicles impossible.
Private kilograms from Buenos AyreI

here as the Providential Bank of BuenO'
Ayres, has suspended.

SWEETwATER Enterprise: When the
Memphis LEDGER called Senator Key to
time 10 the UNDESIRABLE manner in which
it did recently, it did wrong. We have
plenty of patience with those who differ
with Us politically, but we have the
smallest amount for a newspaper that
"a accommodate no political man With
space for the sentiments for which it is
ready to censure him. II the Memphis
LEDGER imagines that its section com.
prizes the whole State Of Tennessee and
that it furnishes a faithful reflex Of
opinion, then it is very much mistaken,
At least we think so.
The above sweet item we find in
the Knoxville Tribune. We have
not the pleasure Of an exchange
with the Enterprise. Its expires.
sions, we take it, are but the re-
echoes Of other papers we might
name. It is possibly as fair to
criticize aspeech withoutpublishing
it all as to denounce a newspaper
without giving any part Of the
articles referred to. AS to Senator
Keys speech, we did give the small
portion of it 10 which exceptions

WHEN a Democrat kicks at his
own party he is sure of Republican
aid and comfort. Senator Key was
graciously mentioned in the State
Republican Convention at Nashville
last Wednesday, but the leaders
would not allow any resolutions
passed on the subject lest his use
fulness be destroyed. Of course
Senator Key is a Conservative and
a Democrat, and will not allow him
self to be used by the Radicals, but
they feel very mellow over his vote
in favor Of Morton's Mississippi
resolutions.

were made. Our criticism was
directed at his vote upon the
ground taken by Senator Bayard.
We respect Senator Key for his
sincerity of purpose and his indie
pendence in doing what he thought
was right. The demand made by
journals sustaining him for the
publication of his speech entire
and the intolerant spirit by a num-
Der of papers in this State toward
those who happened to differ with
Senator Key are rather singular
exhibitions for the centennial year.
Senator Key has received fair treat
ment at our hands, and those OF his
friends who have read the LEDGER
have no cause of complaint. AS to
the Enterprise, we do not know its
politics, but presume it is Republi-
can. Its hiss at the LEDGER and

We have never yet made or an
swered an appeal to narrow, sec
tional prejudice. Life is too short.

THE Philadelphia Bulletin, agree
ably to promise, pays its respect to
some of the hash houses and res
taurants that have sprung up
around the Exposition like mush-
rooms in a hotbed. Those who are
bound for the Centennial at all
hazards will read the following from
the Bulletin with interest:
The restaurant Trois Freres Proven
caux, in the Exhibition grounds has been
recommended to persons Of moderate
means as a good establishment to keep
away from. Another place of refresh
ment that is suitable oAly for million
aires is the cafe in the Vienna Bakery.
The bill of fare of the cafe includes
bread without butter, coffee, tea and ices
The following prices we're charged on
Saturday: Coffee, rs cents; tea, 70
cents; ice-cream for two, 60 cents; bread
40 cents; total, $l.45 The ice-cream
was made of eggs; the coffee half filed
a small tea-cup; the bread consumed
would weigh about half as much as q
small loaf. The only satisfaction oh.
tanned by the person who was thus vic
timized was from the reflection that the
proprietor's method Of destroying his
business is speedy and certain.

RIchn r,lsOn-The Patrons Institute.

To the Editor of The Herald.l
Knowing your readiness to receive
| and publish items OF local rs well rs
general interest, will make mention
of the even of the year in our unpre-
tending and usually quite village,
Richardson.
Last night witnessed the closing ex-
ercises of the Patrons Institute, which,
for the past year has been under the
administration of Prof Harris, of H.
linois. The Professor has shown him
self a gentleman and scholarly teacher
worthy and well qualified. In the
earnest and faithful discharge Of his
onerous duties 1t is n, matter of regret
that his health should be seriously inn
paired, his indisposition being such
last evening rs to necessitate II substi-
tute as master of ceremonies. This he
was fortunate to secure in the person
of Captain VOORHEES,, u popular young
merchant and rising business man of
our place.
Preparatory to the evenings enter
tainment the pupils, aided by the pub
lie spirited young ladies and gem
tlemen of the community, had
very tastefully decorated the stage
with evergreens, wild flowers, and
pictures. The progromme was made
up ola rich variety of declarations,
dialogues, tableauX, interspersed with
instrumental and vocal music by Miss
Allie Murray and her class, assisted by
Messrs Cooper and Bower. Where
each one played his part so well, it is
no injustice to the rest to mention n
few. The Village School, by Misses
Bouser, Kirby, Blewitt, Allen, Shiles,
Howe and others, was finely rendered.
Master Willie Shelder pictured out
the Questionable BELIEF to u dot.
"When the cat was away" the way
those mice did play was fun. "The
Stage-struck Blacksmith was most
happily illustrated by Messrs Bower
Skiles, Wheeler aud Kirby, assisted
by Misses Lizzie Fisher and Julie
Floyd. l776 to 1875 was good Cen
tennial hit
The "bell, y Of Richardsod, stood un-
rivalled and alone. Not the least en-
joyabe part of the programme was
that contributed by the amateur comic
troupe, of Richardson, illustrating
very truthfully that "a little nonsense
now ind then, Is relished by the best
Of men," Taken oil In all, It was
very enjoyable Enthusiastically cred
