that the Trapani match was impossible was.
however made by many statesmen long be-
fore Christina and The French would admit
it. Mon and the party Of the Moderado
Cores declared against it first. Even Mar
vaez gave it up one day, TO revive il the
next. And these vacllations gave rise to
auarrels, which convused the cabinet and
agitated the palace. Despairing of finan-
cial operation built on marriage, several OF
those worthless undertook speculalions based
on their knowledge of coming events.
Munoz was enliced into the scheme; and
he lost such sum of money that Christina
became indignant against the gamblers, and
series of quarTels took place which ended
in the expulsion of Narvaez.
Since that event, civilian ideas and less
passionate council have prevailed at the
court Of Madrid And the French envoy,
however powerful has not been permitted TO
remain absolute dictator. The inability of
France TO effec, the Trapani marriage, or
procure the consent of the eastern powers,
lowered French influence. And the queen
disguised and affronted, once more applied
10 England, and declared for Cobourg ALI.
ance. lord Aberdeen, we know, turned the
same deaf ear TO this as TO all other over
lures. The plan failed; but the circum-
stances so alarmed the King of the French
that he, too, became rational in the Spanish
business and consented 10 fall in with the
popular idea OF the queens marrying her cous
in, the son of the lnfanta.
Then came the question, which son. The
court voice, as we'll as the popular one, poin-
ted out the young sailor, Don Enrique whom
Narvaez had treated brutaly to please the
French court. but whom the French court
was now quite willing to accept and TO win
But the sailor prince would listen TO no fiat
terry, enter into no terms, for swear neither
principles nor friends; and after a sojourn in
Paris Of week, Don Enrique was declared
by the French court 10 be dangerous anC
! imptaciicable. His elder brother, great
slob, was therefore fixed upon, and the be
trohal took place.
This betrothal too, seems TO have taker
place precipitately. 1t is said the Frencl
court insisted on the Simultaneous beiro,ha
of the lnfanta to the Duke de Montpense
making the queens marriage dependent OF
the lnianla's. On the other hand, Mr.. Bul
wer no doubt insisted on the observance o
the siipulations of Pampeluna; and SOM
rather sharp correspondence has been inter
changed between TIE courts of Madrid an
St. James on the one hand, and of the Tuil
cries on the other. The difference, howev
er, cannot be very serious; for it is not likel
that the wings should object altogether TO
marriage TO which their predecessors ha
condilionally consented; aud the Pampelu
ma conditions The king of the French cannc
be so unreasonable as not TO observe, since
if wise and necessary in 1914, they cannc
be less so in 1916.

MEXICAN TREES. Some OF our volunteers
on the Rio Grande complain that they shave
not seen decent sized tree in Mexico
The trees on the Rio Grande St. Juan, are
generally less than one foot in diameter
Several Of the Santa Fe prisoners informed
US that they scarcely found tree that meas
ured more than one or two feet in diameter
on their route from Santa Fe to Very Cruz.
If they had passed by the ancient garde Of
Montezuma, near the city of Mexico. they
would have found trees that far exceed the
greatest monarchs of the west. There is a
cypress tree near that city that is LIT feet
in circumference, and according 10 Dencan-
bolle's method of computing The age of trees
by the concenric circles, this tree is more
than 5000 years old. Humboldt considered
certain Boabab tree of Africa, which was
nearly "a feet in diameter, 10 be the oldest
organic monument of our planet, and Ada
son by ingenious calculation ascerained that
its age was $3.50 years; but the great Cy-
press of Mexico is considered by naturalsts
TO be older than the Boabab of Humboldt.
Huge skeletons Of the Mammoth and Mas
todon have been found in the marshes near
this cypress, and there are strong gounds for
the belief that it existed bafore the races of
these mighty animals became extinci.-Hous-

are pleasant occurrences and customs; but

would be most useful In the west the pow
er of the soyereign is rapidly becoming too
much limited to permit mischief from a clev-
er man; but nothing can forearm you against
the incaIcuablae mischiefs devised by folly
There is no country at this day that would
profit by having duller man al its head.
Frederick William OF Prussia by no means
does all that his people wish; but exchange
him for a Nicholas, and the Prusians would
soon find out what safeguard they had lost
in the cultivated conscience, and above all,
in the intelligence, of their present monarch.
de knows too much 10 do what barbarian
would not heste about for ignorance is the
real parent of cruelty, and intelligence alone
teaches how TO sacrifice the present TO the
future. Louis Philippe, astutest Of princess
is serving his own ends, and composing
them on all sides; but how we'll he manages
TO keep France quiet-how we'll he knows
that publicly virtuous rule can alone con
duce to his own interests! He may be mean,
hypocrltical, selfish, trickliDg, swndling Eu-
rope out of its respect by conduct that looks
patriotic, while it is carried on solely with an
/ eye to business; but his public acts must be
beneicient, conducive TO the material inter
ests Of the people subject to him; or he and
his vast schemes are ruined. No one sus-
pected Charles the Tenth of peculiarly art
ful or personally selfish intentions but his
dull folly drove his people 10 rebellion. Had
Ferdinand of Spain been shrewder and a
bolder man, blood and misery would have
been saved to Spain! Ifa linle Orleans clev
erness were infused into the royal blood O
of that country, how much better her chance
of future political advancement. The sapi
ent medders of diplomacy, however, have
done their best TO perpetuate the breed o.
Ferdinands, on the preence Of saving dan
ger to Spain and Europe!
