from oppression of non-resident land
lords. There was an immense audience
in the laree building and many hundreds
were unable to obtain admission. The

Lieut. Governor Thurinan, Leonard
Seville and others, all in u modest tone,
but expressed the deepest interest in the
posture or nfl-tfrs in Ireland, and predict
in? that a benefit to the working classes
of Ireland would eventuate from nresen
disorders. An address was issued to the
peoplo of the United States embracing in
strongest terms the ideas expressed by the
various speakers. Jt alludes to the dull
cutties under which the Irish people
labor In procuring a living; to the hard
ship which the present system inflicts
to legislation hostile to their interests
which has been enacted : to the numer
ous inHtanccs of personul cruelty to ten
ants; to the decrease in population by
famine and exodus, and to the gloomy
situation of to-day. It calls attention to
the better land laws of other countries,
and protest against the attempt of Lord
Beaconsfield to prevent the last means
left them to secure reform by agitation
to asks that the United States oiler its
effective aid in assisting the Irish people
to accomplish a peaceful revolution
against the landlord interest, supported
by Lord Ucaconslleld. It says that Mr.
1'arnell and his colleagues have proposed
a just and sensible method for a desired
betterment of affairs, and the American
people are pledged to remain deaf to the
appeal lor sympathy and reiorm. llie
Irish people are urged not to allow zeal
to outrun discretion, and are. in conclu
sion, assured of support not only of the
people of the United States but of the
civilized world.

The Brilliant anil Royal Wedding.
Mapiup. Nov. 20. The weather had
improved in the morning to such a degree
that as early as 7 o'clock the i-ireets and
balconies wero thronged with i-eople and
much animation prevailed. !any houses
had been decorated and triumphal arches
are erected at various points. Everybody
is speaking ofthe marriage of King Al
fon so and Archduchess Maria Christine,
which would take place in the afternoon
In the morning the bands ot the regi
ments quartered in the city played a re
veille before the Royal Palace and after
wards marched through the principal
streets. The royal wedding was solemn
ixed at Atochi church according to the
programme. The bride left the I'ardo
Palace in the morniiu for the ministry
of marine, where apartments hadicen
prepared for her, in which she was robed
for the man Line. King Alfonso left the
Roval Palace for Atochi church shortly
before 11 o clock. He was accompanied
by Archduke Renier, and was preceded
by eleven carriages, containing his
niother, ex-Queen Isabella, the Princess
orAusturias and other members ofthe
royal family, grandees of Spain and court
dignataries. The bride approached the
church by another route. She was ac
companied by her mother and was prece
ded by four carrisges containing ladies of
honor and rourt dignataries. The bride
was richly dressed in white and wore a
diadem of uriiliants and insignia ofthe
Marie Louise order. Troops lined the
streets through which the processioa
moved. The Atochi church wa splen
didly illutnidated and decorated with
silken draperies. The diplomatic bodies
and SpauUh g andees and a deputation

Livkrpool, Nov. 29. A meeting, the
attendance at which is estimated at 13,000
persons, was held opposite St George's
Hall to-day. Parnell fully endorsed the
speeches for which tho recent arrests in
Ireland were made. He strongly denoun
ced the action ofthe government, which
he predicted would utterly fail in its ob
ject. The agitation against landlords, he
said, would be continued. Resolutions
moved by 1'arnell and carried with en
thusiasm, nro to the effect that the arrests
are arbitra-y, unconstitutional aim calcu
lated to weaken the confidence of the
people of Ireland in the impartiality of
the law. and that the government wnicn

.Large ana lumultous meeting.
Lonoon, J.ov. 30. The gathering in
Hyde Bark to-day in response to a call
for organized demonstration in favor of
the Irish agitators, consisted of an im
mense mob. A fair sprinkling of xreen
favors was observable, but by far the
greater number of persons present seemed
to bo attracted more by curiosity than
sympathy. A goodly number of bands of
music enlivened tho march from 1 ratal-
gar Square, and many banners were dis
played, but not all of these belonged to
the home rule associations. The proces
sion wa swollen by the Tichborne re
lease association, the democratic work-
ingmen's club, and similar bodies, not in
any manner connected with Ireland or
Irish agitation. The orators of these out
side associations addressed seperate
groups, while the main meeting was in
progress In the park. One ofthe princi
pal speakers of Irish sympathy meeting
proper was Wm. Archer Redmond, home
rule member for Wexford. The speakers
were surrounded by a dense throng
which cheered so enthusiastically as to
render the speeches utterly inaudible,
except perhaps to those on the stand.
Tho resolutions protesting against tho
recent arrest of Irish agitators and de
nouncing present proprietary in Ireland
were carried by acclamation. The less
noted speakers, particularity at side
meetings, used most seditious language
and their utterances seemed to create
much amusement. The authorities had
apparently taken no preparations what
ever for order, as only three policemen
were in the vicinity of the meeting.
When darkness came the crowd dispersed
and the delegations marched back to
their respective headquarters with their
bands playing Irish airs.

TheF.ench CrUU.
Lonpon, Dec. 3. A correspondent at
Paris, discussing the statement of the
Journal det Debate that the ministry can
not possibly entertain the sshernu of the
programme for their acceptance, says this
is the only possible course open for the
cabinet after the unexpected attitude as
sumed by the majority. Nobody will be
able to comprehend how the minority, so
strong as that nf the present ihamber of
deputies on wnica uic government, naa
been leaning for ten mont hs, can declare
that it will not support this very cabinet,
except on the condition of framing the
programme and imposing this on it, for
every individual deputy has the right of
submitting an army bill, and an interpel
lation followed by the order of the day
is a device only to enable'the majority to
show the ministry the withdrawal of its
confidence. In discussing the probable
vote of confidence, winch will end the
crisis by consolidating the ministry, the
correspondent says : It seems beyond a
doubt this vote will be given, because the
left is not acting in common accord. A
certain faction of the majority will resist
the fame ofthe cabinet and will force the
majority not to upset the ministry which
Gauibetta does not wish to succeed, and
whose onlv successor, apart from Gam
betta could be Defreycinet, and this would
only enable Gauibetta to wait his own
time.

Czar will inform the nobility of Moscow,

interference, and will be chosen partly by
suffrages of the middle and peasant
classes, and partly by direct nomination,
by the Czar, from the ranks of hereditary
nobility. Other measures of local reform
will also be announced. These innovations
have been strongly advocated by the
Czarowitch.

Hindoo Women. The Hindoo women,
hen young, are delicate and beautiful,
as far as we can roconcilo beauty with
olive complexion, says the London
'imcx. Thev are finely proportioned:
their features soft and regular, and their
eves black and languishing; but the
bloom of beauty soon decays, and age
makes rapid progress before they have
seen 30 years. This may be accounted
for from the heat of the climate and the
customs of tho country, as they are
often mothers at 12 years of age. No
women can be more attentive to cleanli
ness than tho Hindoos; they tako every
method to render their persons
delicate, soft and attractive; their dress
is peculiarly becoming, consisting of a
i piece of silk or cotton, tied around the
waist, and hanging in a graceful manner
to the feet; it is afterward brought over
the body in negligent folds; under this
they cover the bosom with a short waist
coat of satin, but wear no linen. Their
long black hair is adorned with jewels
and wreaths of flowers. Their ears are
bored in many places, and loaded with
pearls, a variety of gold chains, strings
of pearls and precious stones fall from
the neck over the bosom, and the arms
are covered with bracelets from the wrist
to the elbow. They have also gold and
silver chains round their ankles and an
abundance of rings on their fingers and
toes; among those on the lingers is fre
quently a small mirror. I think the
richer the dress the less becoming it ap
pears, and a Hindoo woman of dis
tinction always seems to be overloaded
with finery, while the village nymphs,
with fewer ornaments, but in the same
elegant drapery ,are more captivating al
