Attempts have been made on five dif- ferent occasions to assassinate Queen ; Victoria, and many are apprehensive lest evil befall her during her Irish tour. The intense and almost uni- versal loyalty angers well for her safety but there may be, and doubt- less are. some inspired idiots who would do anything for the Sake of notoriety. THE CHRONICLE. If town property be worth twenty or thirty dollarsa footfromage when a prospective purchaser bobs up, it should. be approximately near the same value when the assessor is mak- ing his rounds. Prohibitire prices prevent. progress, and the Town Council should see to it than a suffic~ ienc revenue be derived from vacant lots. Bathing too Good for the Irish A flood, almost as disastrous as that which occurred at Johnstowu Pa" a few years ago. occurred on Siturday last on the Colorado River at Austin Texas. The lower portion of the town is submerged through the bursting of it damn which oven flowed the city. causing much death and destruction. Over a hundred houses are said to have been swept away, and many inhabitants were drowned and missing. The Queen’s visit to Ireland is pro-i ductive of much kindly feeling, and.: the sons and daughters of Erin are giving her a right royal receptiond Everywhere and every day brings tidings of a profusion of welcome. It is eStimated that fifty thousand loyal Irish youDgSLers did honor to Her Majesty in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on Saturday last, being it is said one of the most. gladsome days that either the Queen or Dublin has seen {or years. What a grand sight it must be to see ‘° miles of cheering children under acontiuuous canolry of flutter- W. Irwin. A special despatch from Ottawa? says that the Conservative partyf have decided upon a vigorous cam-? paigu from this date forward to the? day of the election which is evidently '- not far distant. It also mice that June is likely to be the month when ‘ the contest will be held, and that or- ganization on both sides will be car- ried on vigorously. Preferential trade merging itself into Imperial Federation will be the main issue, and in the meantime the various members of the House are putting themselves on record in Hausard dur- ing the budget debate on this topic in particular. A. London musical paper relates the following story, the truth of which it voucues for; "A north country curate a. good tenor singer by the Way, who was much devoted to cricket, recently created a sensa- ~tion whi.e conducting the Sunday morning service.
