THE QUEEN OF SrAIN-It is stated in a foreign
journal that Isabella Maria would be taken, by
strangers for Nun Her appearance is that Of
somewhat thoughtful, sckly girl, with coun-
tenance in which any traces Of intellectual superi-
orty or intelligence would be sought in vain.
Her education is deficient, but her memory re-
markable. She is said 10 be able to repeat rerba-
tim the whole constitution OF 1897, which she had
sworn TO observe but what above all things is re.
markable in this Royal Lady, is her determined
and al-absorbing propensity for confectionery.
Her museum for these baga,eles extends its ram
ihcations into every department of the Palace.
The Queen herself is almost constantly eating
sweatmeats, and when in good humor, which is
not always the case, she fails TO distribute
her comhts and sugar-plums with liberal hand
amongst her ministers and favorites In the ear.

doctor was on any particular business, by observ-
ing the size of his wig and counting the rows of

when they see the ministers of the Queen of Spain
leaving the Palace, can easily ascertain who are

carries in his hand. II will perhaps astonish
some of our readers 10 hear that the Spanish min.

none ofthe members ofthe administration, though

The Death bed or Lord byron.

The following is related by Mr.. Barry, the
interview took place few days before the death
of Lord Byron:
ut was seven o'clock in the evening when
saw him. end then took chair at his request,
and sat down at his bedside, and he remained
till ten o'clock. He sat up in bed, and was
then calm, collected He talked with me on a
variety Of subjects connected with himself and
family. He spoke Of death also, with great
conposure, and though he did not believe his
end was very near there was something about
HIM so serious, and so firm, so resigned. and
so composed, so different from anything had
ever before seen in him, that mind misgave,
and at times foreboded his speedy dissolution.
Barry said he, when frst went to him,
