Wales and His Wife at Cork.


CORK, Ireland, April 16.-The prince and
princess of Wales arrived here Wednesday
morning. The weather was beautiful, the
sun shining brightly, and the air was balmy
and spring-like As the train bearing the
royal party steamed up to the station a
deafening cheer arose from the multitudes
gathered in and around the depot,
while numerous hands of music played
loyal airs. The streets in the vicinity of the
station were damned, while the enthusiasm
manifested surpassed the expectations of the
most sanguine. As the prince stepped from
the train he was met by deputation of the
officials Of the city, who presented him with
an address welcoming him to the city
Of Cork, and attesting their undying
loyalty to the queen and the men,
bers of the royal family. The prince
and party were then escorted by q strong
force of military and police to carriages in
waiting and driven through the principal
streets. All along the route the royal party
was enthusiastically cheerei. Many Of the
buildings were profusely decorated with
flags and bunting, while across the streets al
several points were stretched triumphal
arches Contrary to all expectations there
was an entire absence Of any disorder, and
nothing that could be construed into a
hostile demonstration occurred.
The reception was not all the prince could
have wished, however. During their progress
in the parade workmen and boys ran along
side their carriage and kept up the cheering
to drown the Kissing of the Nationalist,
who linsd the entire route and made con.
tinual displays of disprovaL The con.

asm and they made the streets
echo with shouts of welcome. The won.
dor is there was no violent breach of peace
during the royal progress for it proceeded
amid continual warfare of words and
taunts between the L0yalstS and the Nation
alists, whose members were about equally
divided. 1t is thought that the presence OF
the princess, and her ladyliko graciousness
to the people along the streets was the Gle
ment that conquered Irish gallantry. J.
OConnor, Nationalist, member of parliament
for Tparary, marched at the head of a pro
cession OF leaguers, who closely followed the
royal procession and sang God Save Ire
land" every time the loyalists or their bands
started up "God Save tn, Queen" or "God
Save the Prince Of Wales"
The prince of Wales betrayed some
feeling when he replied t. tho address
OF welcome presented by the magis.
trates of Cork. He said he was
glad to hear the expression of loyalty to the
British constitution AMI to the queen which
the address contained, and hoped that every
person possessing influence in Ireland would
exert it to avoid dissensions which would in.
terfere with the object and progress of his
present tour through the country and unite
to promote the real welfare of the Irist
people.

What Children should Eat.


Some people think it perfectly right that
children should be made TO eat everything
that is set before them; but in carrying out
this singular theory too often the gravest in
jury results. An eminent city clergyman
told me the other day that the nero sight of
liver cooked in any form made him i'll.
When quito q little fellow his stern father,
who was one of the sort that would permit
no nonsense as he expressed it, with re-
gard to children's likes or dislikes as far as
food was concerned, insisting that they
should not exercise any taste or choice in the
matter, required him to eat some liver which
had been put ON his plate. There was some
thing about the particular piece of liver that
SGT the child against it, but he was forcel to
swallow the repulsive mOrsel, and ever since,
his stomach has rebelled even at the thought
of the gross piece Of tyranny which was
practiced upon him.
1t is a sound rule for all of US that with
respect to food our likes AMI dislikes are the
best guide as to what is good for us, and it
is safe to eat upon the plan that whatever
we relish will prove on the average harm
less and wholesome, and whatever produces
disgust viii prove, as general thing, indi-
gestible. A recent writer on this point has
fully expressed my opinion in saying that
nothing can be more wrong than to make
children eat fat, for example, when they
don't want it A healthy child likes fat and
eats as much of it as no can. If he shows
signs of disgust at fat that proves him to be
Of bilious temperament, and he ought
never to be forced to eat it against his Will
good many Of us have disordered diges-
ton in after-life simply because we were
compelled to eat rich food in childhood
which we felt instinctively was unsuitable

LAHORE, India, April 1G Earl Dufferin
British viceroy of India has arrived from
Rawal Pindi He comes officially with the
maharajah of Cashmere. The viceroy was
met by great crowd and accorded
splendid reception. In reply to tie
address of welcome presented by the
officers of the municipality, the earl of
Dulferin spoke officially of the Anglo Rus
sian situation in significant words, Among
other things he said Coming from an i'm
portant interview with the ameer of Afghan
istan, whose dommions, SO far as have been
able to ascertain, have been the scene of an
unprovoksd attack, it is a great satisfaction
to find the princes and people Of India
ready, with one accord, to rally around the
standard of Great Britain, even at dis
lance from their own frontier. 1t is i'm
possible to say how the present crisis will
end. II it end in war that result will be in
spite of the earnest and anxious endeavors
of the British government to avoid 50 dire
a result, and in defiance of their most mod
crate and conciliatory conduct"

Lot. Wrignt's Case.

WASHINGTON CITY, April IT, Judge Dur
ham, first comptroller of the treasury, has
given an opinion in regard to the accounts
of Lot Wright, United States marshal for
the southern district of Ohio. for expenses
incurred in conducting the election for
members Of congress held in Cincinnati in
October, 1854. The account is mostly for
the payment of deputy marshals. Judge
Durham says he holds that marshal's deputies
mus be residents of the wards in which
they do duty, and even OF the precincts In
which they vote, and that any deputy mar
shals who had not that qualification were
Illegally appointed. He criticses the EN-
ployment Of deputies for several days, and
as an original proposition would decide that
no pay should be given for more
than one day, unless it was very
plainly proven that their services we're ALSO
lutely necessary. He thinks Marshal Wright,
however, in this case has simply followed
custom, and on that account the Judge will
allow the claims for remuneration He
adds: But the accounts will be ad iusted
upon the basis of rejecting the claim for pay
of said deputies WHO were not voters In the
city of Cincinnati at the time Of appoint
ment, and rejecting all claims for more than
two days of service, unless there shall be
shown by proof necessity for the same"
