WELL RECEIVED AT KINGSTowN, BUT LITTLE
ENTHUSIASM IN DUBLIN.

ENTHUSIASM IN DUBLIN.
DUBLIN, April S.-The Prince and Princess
of Wales and their eldest son, Prince Albert
Victor, slept on board the royal yacht Osborne
at a quarter past six this morning, and arrived
at kingstown at half past eleven. Large num-
berS of people had assembled upon the docks
Kingstown is profuseIy decorated with flags and
bunting. Numbers OF excursion steamers
thronged the bay, decked out with gay-colored
bunting, and six vessels of the channel squad
ron were in waiting, arrayed with the flags of
all nations and brilliant with vari-colored
streamers. The Osborne was sighted when
still ten miles out at sea, and as she drew near
men-ofwar. When the Osborne touched the
pier and the royal party disembarked the
thrOng raised a loud and enthusiastic cheer.
Dublin presents q lively appearance, but there
are many indications that there is no great
popular enthusiasm. Outside the route OF the
procession the decorations of the city is far
from being general. Another flag has been SUBJ
stituted for the missing one, and this is now
floating over the Mansion house.
The sun was shining brilliantly when the
Spencer, lord lieutenant Of Ireland, received
the party and the town commission presented
an address Of welcome. The princess at the
same time was made the recipient of numerous
sands, kept up a continuous cheering during
the reception and cheered loud and long as the
royal guests proceeded to Dublin. They arrived
at Dublin at O'Clock and were accorded a
splendid reception. In answer to the address
of welcome the prince said he was delighted to
renew his acquaintance with Dublin. In the
passage through the streets of the city the party
were everywhere greeted with enthusiasm. The
houses on both sides Of the avenues along which
they proceeded were adorned with beautiful
crowded with spectators eager to catch a glimpse
OF the future king and queen.

there was, he said, considerable grumbling, but

Eating in a French Canadian Town.

1t is characteristic of st. Francois and
the early hours of the place hat the
housewife who docs not arrive at the viii
lage market by 6 or 6 $50 in the morning
subject her household TO the perils Of
emi-starvation. The farmers wives who
bring in the fruit and vegetables and
butter and eggs from their farms are all
in their places by ) o'clock, and by 8
many of them are already jogging along
OF their way homcward. And the market
is the chief place for the purchase of edi-
bles in the town of St. Francois. Its
supply is meagre enough, and its customs
are primitive. The markct-women all
ask one price and take another; hence a
purchase involves an immense amount of
bargaining and chatGering and gesticulat-
ing, and the worthy t~ownspeople bid
each other good morning, and jostle
each other with their market-baskets and
peer down over each others shoulders
along the meagre array upon the counters
with much busting and curiosity. Ber-
ries and vegetables are sold in
what the natives call ''tureens, "
"a most vague and elias
tic term, as a ''tureen" appears to an
outsider to be anything from a teacup o
a scrub-pail. You may buy a tureenful
of raspberries for ten cents, or one for a
dollar, and you can only give an indef-
mite guess at the quantity you are get
ting for your money. The supply is very
scanty, and poor in quality, too. The
tiny wild strawberries, wild red rasp-
berries and c~hokebcrries form the bulk
of the fruit obtainable in st. Francois.
The French Canadian farmer is a slow
and conservative gardener, and many
vegetables and fruits which would ripen
easily in the climate are not cultivated
nowadays, simply because his grand
father did not cultivate them before
him, and his sluggish brain has not yet
awakened to the tact that it would be a
wise and profitable thing to raise them.
But, if the vegetable market is scanty,
the fish market on summer mornings is a
sight to behold, from the numbers of
cells which crawl over and under each
other and wriggle along the counters
and fall oil on the floor, where they lie
writhing till the merchant, seeing his
wares escaping him, picks them up and
stuns them by striking their heads
against the wall. -LippMcott.

Died Of a Broken Heart.

News has reached this city of a sensa-
ton in our sister city, Knoxville, the
facts of which nave been suppressed by
the local press. A few months ago u
wealthy gentleman of that city discov-
cred that one of his employees was paying
court to his daughter. The young man
was an accomplished scholar, possessing
high literary attainments and superior in
every regard, but unfortunately was very
poor. The stern father, when he made
the discovery, forbade the young man
his house and prohibited his daughter
from ever seeing him again. The love
that had been enklndled was not to be
so easily stifed, and the couple sue
cceded in holding several clandestine
meetings. The father, shrewd in his
hard heartedness, discovered the couple
together, and losing his temper, dis
charged the young man from his employ
on the spot, and in the excitement Of
the moment struck his daughter for dis
obeyin Q him. The blow was light, but
left its mark, and the young lady from
that m oment began to droop; the i'm
print on her burning check seemed to
have be en- engraven in her heart, and
that act of her impetuous father was
his fatal mistake. The young man was
forced to leave Knoxville to seek EN-.
ployment elsewhere. The tender heart
of the fra giie girl was broken and a few
days ago she died, breathing the name
of her low err in her last moments. The
first he heard of her sickness was the
news of her death, and leaving all else
he reached Knoxville in time to psrtici-
pate in the sad o~bsequies and wet the
mound abo We her grave with burning
tears, such as follow poignant grief and
we'll from br oxen hearts. - Chattanooga
