Mr.. A. M. Kelley Again.

The President seems to be developing an
unfortunate propensity for sticking to bad
nominations. His selection of Mr.. A. NJ.
Kelley for miDister to Italy was excusable,
Notwithstanding 1t has since been shown to
the satisfaction of everybody of common
sense that Mr.. Kelley was entirely unfit for
the place, because the President could not
be presumed to know that Mr.. Kelley had
made himself obnoxious to the italian gov
erDmen by utterances some ten years ago.
But the Presidents appointment of him to
the Austrian mission is entirely inexcus able.
The President can be, aud ought to be, pre-
sumed to know that last week Mr.. Kelley in
public speech declared that he believed the
government of the United States existed to-
day by reason of a public invasion of private
rights. This is substantially the opinion
he expressed in regard to the Italian gov
eminent which rendered him so obnoxious
to the court of King Humbert that it threat
ened not to receive him. The improperly of
sending man as a representative to a
government which be had thus stigmatized
seems to have occurred both to the Pres dent
and Mr.. Bayard. But the improperly of
sending man abroad as representative of
q government which he had stigmatized
in the same way seems to have occurred to
neither Of them. Are the President and
Secretary less fastidious concerning the
honor of Americans than of Italians? 1t
certainly looks that way.

The Prince in Ireland.
Something about the True INV ardness of
His Reception.
Dublin IetterA

Dublin Letter.)
As the crowd increased rapidly beneath
me, was careful 10 examine what elements
they were made of. I was struck by the
frequency on every side of the Orange en-
blems. Men and women wore them con-
spcuously displayed. There was no mis-
akng the fact that the s'loyar' and anti
Irish forces had mustered in Dublin on that
day. Rare indeed were the wearers of the
green, SO rare that an Epglisbman by my
side attracted my attention to lady who
wore waving plume of green feathers in her
bat. IfWilliam III from yonder pedesta
could have looked up and down Dame street
half an hour before the passage of the Prince
and Princess, he must have been gratified by
the sight of his cOlors among the moving
crowds below and around, on sidewalk, win
dow and balcony
But at 12.45 there is a motion in the crowd
the line of soldiers shoulder arms, every eve
is turned in the direction OF Trinity college,
mounted police and hussars gallop by, and
then comes between lines of cavalry the car
riages containing Earl Spencer, his Coun-
tess and their suite. There is a waving of
handkerchiefs aud a noise of cheering, es-
pecially from the steps leading to the Par
lament House, where loyalty is assembled
in great force. There is considerable his
sing, TOO, as the Lord Lieutenant and the
Countess pass, bowling continually to the
right and left 1t was done in moment.
Evidently the Viceroy has far more friends
than enemies in yonder multitude.
The excitement now becomes intense, as
we know that the Prince is only few min
utes behind. Nearly twenty minutes elapse
however, before the agitation in the expect
ant tbrong shows us that the Prince and
Princess are approaching. The noise of
cheering from the packed and select crowd
at Trinity College reaches us. People rise
up; a squadron of ]ancers gallop ahead, their
horses bounding, their pennons dancing gay
ly In the breeze. And then come The scarlet
coated outriders and the carriage bearing
the future King and Queen OF Great Britain.
From the great majority of the multitude,
evidently Protestaus and loyalists, the greet
ing is hearty, and the Prince and Princess
warmly acknowledge it. From the people.
properly so called-and was careful then
TO observe their attitude-there was nothing
but passiveness; they looked on Iuuietly, the
men not even raising their hats aud the
women waving no sign of welcome.
AS / wrote to you and expected, all Ire.
land had sent to Dublin for the occasion
numerous contingents OF the landlord, aris-
tocratic and Orange classes. They call
themselves the Irish people, the true Irish
nation; they are the landowners the lords
of the soil, the lawmakers and the admins
t.ators of the law. They own the country
and govern 1t; why should they not welcome
enthusiastically their future King? And
they 0id--it cannot be gainsaid.

Celluloid, or good imitation of 1t, is now
made from potatoes, which are boiled in
water containing eight per cent. of sulphur

deprived of its adherent moisture by pres

One of the noticeable customs of Phladel-
phia is the habit of putting flowers in the
windows between the inner curtains and the
glass. At no time are the windows of many
houses in very many streets without at least
bouquet in vase, and 1t is always easy to
tell when wedding or party has taken place
in many house by the appearance of beau
tiful bouquets or baskets of flowers in the
window.
