Popularity md n Slap.

One of the incidents that conduced to
give the queen temporary popularity
in Ireland was this: She and the prince,
with the prince of Wales and Prince
Alfred, were driven in their roomy ear
rage TO Mr.. bargains exhibition. The
streets and windows were throngcd
There were only bright faces. and the
air was filled with cheers. She bowed
very affably; the prince held his hat n
little before his forehead, and hardly
bowed. The prince of Wales took of
n cap with a white band and held it
rather gracefully, as if to show that he
should have bowed were the queen not
present. Prince Alfred looked little
sulky and kept his cap on his head.
The queen did not appear to see him,
but she did. She whipped the cap off
his head with one hand. and with the
other gave him such slap in the face.
1t was done in an instant, and without
any change of countenance. Thunder
ing cheers marked the approval of the
multitude.-Contemporary Review.
