THE reception of the Prince and
Princess of Wales in Ireland has
been cordial beyond expectation. In
Dublin a magnificent ovation was
given them, the populace doing loyal
homage to the princely pair. The
Princess excited deep admiration and
sympathy by her sweetness of look
and disposition and by her lady-like
manners. The Prince graciously
shook hands with all i'm reach, from
magnate to sdnscuIotte. Even at
Cork, the hot-bed of Nationalism,
the visitors received good treatment !;
though a riot marred the celebration
after the departure of the distinguish
ed guests. AT each reception the
Nationalists attempted counter-dem-
onstrations, but failed signally.
Anglophobiacs denounce the visit as
an intended allurement, but intelli-
gent people understand that it is a
conciliatory and pacificatory meas
ure, manifesting the heir-apparent's
pity for a miserable race, and his
earnest desire for their elevation, ref
ormation, and prosperity.
