"i 12 THE COURIER. f.' i Town Topics' kondon Cor respondence. Undoubtedly the royal visit t) Ireland has done even more good than waa hoped. Not a single untoward incident baa been reported; and the cordiality evinced on all tides has bet-n most gratifying. I recently saw a letter written on the pot by a very bright woman. Sh says lhafh? great buccsj of the visit is tnain'y due to the chaim ing tact of the Duchess of York. She has absolutely done every ihing she ought to have dine, while she has avoided any mistake. She has also looked bright and bDiinio all the while a circumstance thit made a good deal of difference to the susceptible Paddy heart! My correspondent relates an amusing conversation with one of those irrepressible beings, the Dublin car drivers, in the course of vrh'ch he al luded to the immens benefit to all trades arising from the gay doings in the city, and added: "Fait it's a grand thing entoirely to see the streets full of ladies and gintlemen drivin like mad to get to places in toime, and wantin' to be in every place at once! I've been as good a Home Ruler as any of them; but sure, when I sea the prince and I he purty lady passin by. I jumps up and 'waves my whip wid the best of them. An' what I eay is this: God give them a cafe home-comin' and a happy return." Thi duchess loiks very happy, as well Ehe may. That she might one day do something to beal the breach between England and Ireland was one of her girlhood dreams. It seems bke'y to be realized. One of the interesting visits paid by the royal pair was tbat to Lord and Lady Ashbourne, tt Howth Castle. Alas! The Earl of Howtb can no longer afford to live in his pneient home, so full of memories of the glories of this race. Tb.9 fair ducbecs looked with reverence at the gray walls, and took a deep interest in their traditions.

And she was shown the 6word of Sir AmoricuB, with 200 followers and a few mounted knights, was attacked in Connaught by O'Con nor, king of that province, and outnum bered. When he saw that the day was lost -h? could yet have saved himself, having a fleet horse; but he refused to abandon "his poor friend?," the men-at-arms. "I would rather," said be, "die with them in honor than live in dis praise.' Having spoken thus, die knelt on the ground, kissed the cross of his sword, then plunged the blade into the heart of bis gallant steed, exclaiming: "He shall never serve against us, with whom he hath so truly and so worthily served afore." And all the riders fol- Call and see them before 3ou bu RETAIL STORE -I02o 0 STREET. M'iCo., Makers. JSfanitarltin, Cor. Ittla and JfcT Scientific Masseurs.

This they did, and also secured the sword. "Thus," says the old chronicle, "died Sir Amoricus Tris tram, chosen for beauty and courage among a thousand knights; yielding to none but in the way of gentleness." The duke and duchess alsj saw at Howth "The Tree of Djotj," which so the peasants say will die when mis fortune threatens the house of St. Lawrence. I fear the tree will not be long-lived, in that case; for the present Earl of Howth is unmarried and his age is seventy, while he has no male hair. Truly, it is a pity that the fine old races should die out. The three York babies have been with the Queen during their parents' tour. Little Princess Victoria is a swoeily pretty baby, just beginning to make her own observations of life; and her venerable granny is perfectly happy with her. Nothing delights the queen so much as to "furs over" a baby. Sbe insists on seeing the wee people bathed, and loves to help to dress them; nor does she in the least mind the liberties which the tturdy Prince Edward takes with her, or the cool things which be says! Speaking of babie3 reminds me tbat some interesting new arrivals have lately been welcomed into society. Lord Bennet son of the Earl of Tankervilfe rejoices in the possession of a new son and heir. As Lord Bennet has lost both his own brotners, the family was anxious to see the succession secured. You re- member that Lord Bennet's wife is an American a Miss Van Marter. And what a charming man he is! So hand some, so cultured! Some years ago he made quite a sensation by his miniature painting, of which he exhibited a great many beautiful examples at the Royal Academy. It was rather an odd craze for a man; but his success justified the undertaking. Chillingham, the famous estate in the Northumberland, where the wild white cattle have waudored and multiplied from early days in English history, belongs to the Tankerville family. Another welcome baby is the hand some young marchioness, of Hamilton's second girl though, doubtless, a boy would have have been preferred. The elder daughter, aged nearly two, is Lady Rhodesia Hamilton, Cecii Rhodes being her godfather. The Marquis of Hamil ton is the heir of the Duke of Abercorn no connection, except perhaps a very distant kinship, with the Duke of Hamilton. Are not our family trees confusing growths? He and bis young wife are both over six feet high; She waa Lady Rosaline Bingham, and is as fair as he ia dark. Drs. Everett, Managing Physicians. The gay world is migrating from the continental spas at last. You will be grieved to bear that the Prince of Wales found fault with your compatriots at Marienbad because they would take snap shots of him at every minute of the day. I hear that Mr. Wyndham's childrens' garden fete was a popular feature at Homburg. The Duke of Cambridge gave away the prizes for the sports and wheelbarrow races, and enjoyed himself very much. The prizes consisted of ev ry sort of whistle, trum pet and mouth organ that was ever in vented. The din wa9 terrific, and the duke's roars of laughter actually made themselves heard above it. The old gentleman must have felt that the pioce's desertion of Homburg was his own opportunity, for he has certainly received a wonderful amount of atten tion. It is said of him that he has never been known to refuse an invitation unless he was actually ill. However, it is a fact that our smart ones are weary irg of continental retorts. It is now the thing to go to Scotland, but to which part of Scotland? That depends upon your particular form of smartness. If you are 'intense," and belong to the Soul?," or if your are devoted to both eclecticism nod go f, jou will chooeo North Berwick, with the-company of.the Asquiths. tie Tcnrants, some of the Rothschilds, Lady Henry Lennox, Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimer and Arthur Balfour; but if you belong to either of the "rojal sets," the sober one that encircles the queen or the more go ahead clique surrounding the younger royalties, you will hie you to the banks of the Dee. Here cycling is a great at- traction and fishing has its devotees. One of the first things tbat the queen means to do in Scotland is to erect an arch at the entrance to Balmoral; this is to commemorate her first visit to her beloved Highlands after her Diamond Jubilee. Paderewski really has had his hair cut short. Jean de Reszke now declares that he will not rest till he has taught his distinguished. compatriot to bicycle. This reminds me of a tale told by a cer tain bad man, who professes to have heard a woman say in the stalls of the opera, this season: "Yes, the de Reszkes are such a clever family, you know. There's Jean de Reszke and Edouard and Pad de Reszke." So Marie Corelli is at last going to allow her portrait to be published iu the "Birthday Book," compiled from her writings. There will be joy in Pbilistia. I hope the picture will be worth the long waiting of so many devoted ad mirers. And I hope she was tidy when it was taken.
