The Prince and Princess of Wales
are to make tour of Ireland in April
and will hold = series of levees at Dub
lin Castle. The visit is intended to
strengthen the sentiment of loyalty
among the iIish people. Most Of the
London papers have editorial articles
on the proposed tour, and the opinion is
generally expressed that in view OF all
things the visit viii be a plucky and
perhaps hazardous experiment, but that
it is we'll to remind the Irish people of
the fact that the union between the two
countries still exists, and that the visit
will therefore be timely and probably
productive of good results. The Dublin
FreemuR'S Journal expresses the hope
that the Prince of Wales when he visits
Ireland will be received with respect
and CoIdiality, but that it must be clear
ly dissOciated from politics. " Ii the
Castle authorities" =" it says, think to
make political capital out of the
Princes visit they will be much misla-
ken and it would be better that the
Prince stay at home" AS long as
England keeps her iron heel on the
prustTate neck of Ireland the feeling of
Irish loyalty" as 1t is misnamed, will
not be strengthened to any appreciaUle
extent even if Queen Victoria were to
collect in London all her sons and
daughters and their wives and husbands
and send them all over to Ireland in a
lump. The hatred OF the Irish people
toward their implacable foe for more
than five hundred years is too deep
seated to be removed or condoned by a
thousand levees held by her prospective
King aud his wife at Dublin Castle or
by any other mere friendly display og
royalty. The disease requires more he
roic treatment.

THE news of the failing condition of
General Grant has been received with
profound sorrow by the whole country.
He is not confined to his bed, having
been up during Sunday last, Gut mis-
physicians, DIs. Barker and Douglass,
as well as his friends, have about given
up all hope of his recovery. DIR. Doug
lass says he will not call the trouble
with Gen. Grants throat a cancer and
uses the term "epithelIa'' as applicable
to it, which he says covers many dis
eases of a cancerOus nature. He further
says that Gen. Grant will waste away
because Of the drain upon his system
snd the wearing Of the disease upon his
nervous forces. - am sorry to say
he expresses himself. THAT the trouble
is seldom cured, AID there seems to be
little hope of his life.''

AS ONE of the straws which show
the direction of the wind in business
affairs the revival of the coke business
in the Connellsville region, and other
portions of Western Pennsylvania, may
be mentioned. Seventy per cent. of the
seven thousand coke ovens in the region
named are said TO be in operation at
present, instead of the forty. five per
cent. which have been running during
the past year. OF course, the revival
has given employment to thousands of
idle men, and as coke would not be
made unless it was wanted, the in
creased demand may be accepted as a
sure indication that the iron and steel
business in that part of the State are
experiencing a very encouraging change.

then sprlnkled the whole with water, so
that 1t made nice thick paste. He tied

An American Tale About n Usefui IndisE
Bird.
In India the mongoose is the great ally OF
the native in his constant strife with
snakes. OF the mongoose there is tale,
sufficiently familiar, no doubt and yet apt
in It's application. In an American railway
carriage there once journeyed a quiet gem
man, having between his feet basket OF
peculiar shape. An inquisitive stranger
asked him what the basket might contain.
I" 1t contains a mongoose," was the answer.
(" And what is mongoose," the stranger
oueried. "A mongoose,p the gentleman
replied, politely, "is an East Indian AMI
NAL that kills snakes" And what might
you want mongoose for nows continued
the inauisitive stranger. Well" an
swered the stranger, " have brother-in-
law who has been little too fond of tan
gle-foot whisky, and sometimes he sees
snakes, and so am taking this mongoose
to him to kill the snakes" The lnquisitlve
stranger hesitated a moment, and then be
said: " But those are not real snakes your
brother-in-law sees II know it, re-
turned the quiet gentleman. land this Is
not a real mongoose. Christian Uition-
