The good people of Prague, whatever may be their political crotcheta, are determined to show that toeir loyalty to the house of Hspsburg ia real and lasting. The hradchin of Prague is to be one of 1 ho chief residences of the crovm prince and his wife, and thither the young coaple will betake themselves after they have "honeymooned" in Schonbrunu, The ezechians are accordingly making ready to wish their future king and queen a fitting welcome, and 60.000 florins have been voted by the town council of Prague to do the thiug handsomely. The flags and banners which will decorate all the public buildings of the pictnreFque old city will be of unusual splendour and richnecs, and are, moreover, to be painted in oils, so that in case of rain their colours will not "run."

Queen Chriatlna and Her Baby. The queen of Spain, says a recent Madrid letter to Tie PaU GaxeUe, made her first appearance in pnblic to-day after the birth of her dau}hter, the Infanta Mercedes. The functions beijan yesterday by a eajyiUapubUca at the private chapel of the palace. The king and queen walked there in state through the corridors, which were decorated with the fine tapestries woven with silks and gold by Barbahinga, repiesenting the victories of the Emperor Charles V. Every available place had been occupied from 8 in the morn- ing by an eager crowd, chiefly composed of the fair sex. The royal party, attended by the high officials, heard a low mass, and be- fore the gospel was read presented the usual offerings of a regal cake of almond marohpane and a basket of lowers and doves. In the afternoon the nuncio brought the papal offerings in great state to the palace. They were presented in the throne room, and con- sisted of a/ivi, or swaddling-clothes, costly relies, and papal briefs, addressed to different members of the royal family, exhorting them to bring up the young princess ic the purest principles of the Catholic faith, and make her a tit heireas for the Spanish crown. The troops Uned each side of the route taken by the royal cortege. The balconies were drap- ed all alons! the road with coloured hangings and draped with graceful fibres, mostly in black, with mantillas. The procession came along the Calle Mayor, Carrera de San Ger- onimo, Prado, and Museum to the Churoh of Atocha, in the same state as at the royal weddings, the meet striking thing being the tvrenty-four fine Spanish and Arab horses, with richly embroidered saddles, led by the grooms of the household, in the brilliant bine, red, and white liveries of the house of Bourbon. After these came the eight old state coaahes, drawn by six horaes, in hiuh the different members of the royal family were rocked backward and forward, I should say in the most unpleasant manner. Jast as it was at one time the fashion to dre?s pages or train-bearers in richer stuffs than thote worn by the mistress herself, so were the einpty Cirrlagej de reepelo which followed the dift:rent royalties grander than the veh- icles occupied by them. The streeta were crowded and the peaple enjoyed the fine ahow. The ugly Atoohachurch thescene i f so many intoresung contomporary eventa, was very gay, and the entrsince court was grouped with creeping planta.

AtSo'e.odttha bythaaman Balloon Accident A frightful ba loon acci'ii ut ai P r. .•im- ported tiy cable. Augubt Nava le waa per- forming on a trapeze dUspended from th Montgolfier balloon Vtdomillaue, when, a; the height of 1,000 yards, or over half a mile, he misbed his bold. Tie shocked spectaioi'a, it is said, oould clearly follow the poor fellow's body in the descent, and when at length it struck the earth it made a hole two feet deep, and rebounded twice the height of a man's bead- Freed from his weight, the balloon shot npwanl until it burat, and then it, too, fell. Deaths from balloon accidents are frequent enough, but a sheer fall from such a height has, perhaps, never before been recorded. Tims in 1876 a balloon took fire, when 12,000 feet high ir the^air, and iU occupant was killed, but, a is usually the case, he stuck to his air-ship till grounded. A feuful dive is, however, far from being the only danger "balloonists' have to dread. That it is quite as dangerous to CO too high as to come down too fast is shown by the voyage of Tis^audier, Sivel, aud Croce-f^pinelli, which is. perhaps, the mo^t remarkable on recoril. They started on April 15, 1875, to rival the hijhest alti- tude ever reached hy man. At 8,000 yards Tis^andier fell in a faintjust as his compan- ions, who were in a scarcely better condi- tion, tossed out some ballast iu a last den- perate effort to surpass Glaisher's record o: 11,000 yards. The balloon flew up, how hiyh it is impossible to say, but when Tis sandier caine to himself his companions lay dead beside him with black faces and bloody nostrils. They had been suffooated by the rarifaction of the atmosphere. Glaisher's record is, therefore, discrtdited, for it sterns beyond dispute that human life cannot be sustained ii.u.;h ..bove 8,000 ^ards. M. Gndard's (lerilous experience in 1878 â€" wb ch happily resulted rather amusingly than otherw.be â€" illustrates another danger which should not be forgotten by those who take passengers sailing in the air. At 1,000, at 2,000, at 3,000 feet he successively asked his companion how he felt, and was as often amazed that the amateur declared his ftel- inga to be quite' as ubual. Finally Godard declared that be would to no biiiber, when suddenly his comniinioii grasped his thro.it aud demanled at leant one Amotion in return 'or bis l,000f. fare. The min was clearly a luna'io. At that feariul height he clamber- ed out oi the basket and around the swaying globe with the skill and carelessness ot a monkey. Then he clasped Godard by the body and declared he would throw him over. Finally, he drew a knife and said he would seek his " emotions" by a fall, say of half a mile. Bat Godard did not lose his head. He declared himself charmed with the idea, aod wondered that it had never be- fore occurred to him. But he pointed out that, however pleasing the fall might he, it Wl uld be disagreeable to be muitilated, and he suggested going 2,000 orS.OOO feet higher in order that when his cinnpaniin cut the gas-bag their deaths might be certain. They were then both of a mind, aud as i»laid threw out the ballast the balloon dartrd still further above the clonds. His cheerful companion's spirita ro.-e with the balloon, and once more he climbed out on the belly- ing sphere, but this time with a rope abjut him, in order, aa Godard explained, that he might not tumble before he was high enough for a thoroughly good fall. At length he perched himself just over the escape-valve, then Godard pulled the Cord which opened it, the escaping gas stupefied the manman, and â€" the crisis was over. Lest any one should doubt the story, we hasten to add that it comes from France. " " ' â- ? 1 specially the females â€" ttiat little hour upon it.

There have been, we art' giad to say, many examples ot the latter class â€" many who have carried "the flower ol a hlameless life," and done honour to then profession. But it must be conf esse d, and we do it with regret, that there are far voo many whose reputation has been any- thini; but pure, whose open and undisguised piofligacy has done more than an thing else to lower and elishouour the etage and make it, what it most certainly is, a matter of loathing aod disiru^t to all who have regard to purity. Pi or Ailelaide Ncilson, whoae beauty was of so tare a type, and whose powers of application to her profession were s remark.-.bie as t stand to lier in the stead of »,'-niu8, had unfortunately anything but a pure reputat on tlie great I'aiti may have been much sinned against, hut she has cer- tainly smued ill this resp .1 1, while "the Bernhardt " makes no st cret, but rather indeed an unblushir^' bo st of her "little lapses" represented by fnur (it it not four?) pledges of her illicit amours, and yet the popularity of cither actrets has been so far from being injure 1 by thii fact that her reputation was rather enhanced thereliy, and it lias become rather cAtethan disgracc'ul for an -actios to le known to have had her "zone unlxiund."

O B. SOHB VCBT USEFDL ADVICE TO A YOCNO LADY JtrST BNOAOED. • .:, ' (Philadelphia Times.)' She is one of the sweetest little bodies in all the world, is K. D. B., aud it is no won- der that she has gone and got engaged and we desire to pause here, for a moment, before entering upon K. D. B.'s perplexity â€" for she has a perplexity, poor dear â€" while we oon- fratulate her with all our heart. Heaven less you K. D. H., we do hope that every- thing will go along nicely and that your marriage will be as pleasant as possible. And now for the perplexity. "When a young lady becomes engaged," writes K. D. B. â€" and we can see the pretty thing blush- ing like a gazelle as she makes this timid, indirect confession that she is engaged â€" " when a young lady becomes engaged and re- ceives letters of congratulation from his relatives (ah what a world of native tender- ness there is in this simple use of the pro- noun), is she bound according to etiquette to reply T And if she is bound, in what form ought she to reply?" Aod then she winds up by telling-us that "by answering" we will " confer a favor on ' K. D. B. ' " It i^ proud and happy that we are. " K. D. B.," to be in a position to confer a favour upon you and we fully appreciate the honour that yon are doing us in asking our advice instead of " his." But an answer, dear child, must de- pend just a little on some of the circnm- stanoet which â€" in your pretty, careless way â€" you have neglected to mention. The gen- eral rule may be easily enough laid down that lettora of this natan do not demand answers but the very minuto that the rule is stated the necessity for making exceptions to it is evident. A eoogratuiatory letter from, for instance, the foreman of the fire company with which " be " has Ieen con- nected in " his " wayward youth certainly does not require an answer while on the contrary a congratulatory letter from " his " maiden aunt, from whom " he " has expectations, demands an answer of toe moat inatautaneons aod effusive sort that can be known or mentioned. Te isnore the kind utterances of "his" rich bachelor nncle would be a sinful rudeness of which no right- miaded K. D. B. should even dream of being guilty bnt te answer toe letter of the other uncle â€" the clerical uncle up in the country who has a doubtful salary of $600 a ^ear and eleven children- -would be a serious indiscre- tion. As to the peppery letter from the young woman to whom "he" waa pravionaly engaged, it ia probable that your own fijw natural inatincto will adviae you and so reader advice from ns is nnneoeasary. But yon sec, dear K. D. B., that our advioe upon any part of toe perplexity is not of much valae btoaase you have only partially taken na into your ooafidenoe. After aU. Uttle one, perliapa toe beat thing that you can do is to oonanlt " him." • I *. â-  ,â-  â-  Thlogs still ooatinae troubled in Franoe, bnt a revolution ia not immineat.

I â€" -^ lioston Founded on a Oold Bed. An artosian well is now being sunk in Bos- ton, which, according to the £nertca» ArcK- itect, seems to have at least one peculiar fea- ture. Tne well has been driven rather more than fifteen hundred feet without reaching any oonsiderahle spnng, although there is a constant moderate flow of water into it, bnt itseemsthatat a distance of fourteen hundred feet from the surface a stratum oL^old-bear- ing quartz, twenty feet thick was reached and piereed.
