PRAcTlCAL misunderstanding
Sparitual Telegraph contains an
account of a new single machine, the
draft Of which, it says, was given to a
medium who was under the influence
of DR.. franklin. A machine was
made according to the draft and speci-
fications, which is said to produce "a
shingle each second of time, including
the time required to remove the shin

The FRENCH EMpREss--AW
Rtght.-A Paris correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Atlas states that it has
lately been observed that the Empress
Eugene, while riding out with the
Emperor, takes her seat at the right
instead Of the left of His Majesty in
the carriage. This little remnant of
ancient etiquette, descended from the
royal customs Of kings and emperors,
is only observed when the queen or
empress gives hope ofthe birth of a
future sovereign, the only circum-
stance which entities her to this favor.

The venerable Alexander Won
Humboldt, who is at the age of four
score and five years, still prosecutes,
with vigor and success, his researches
in the broad domains of science. lie
resides in Berlin, and is represented as
having a massive brow, which, as it
overarches his rejecting, observing
eyes, seems at first sight almost too
large for the dimensions of the body
and the general size of the head itself.
His massive chin is indicative of a
rare tenaci'y Of purpose-of perse-
verance which, for a long life, has en-
abled him increasingly to augment the
accumulated knowledge of his wide
experience, and as continuously to
strive to spread it abroad.

res,,ablsbed by the Central Juns., had not dared

esstablisbed by the Central Junsa, had not dared
to resume its functions, its holy members being
content with eccketing their salaries, and pru-
IDENTIFY waiting for better times. As to the sup
preston Of feudsl sbu.es, the Cortes went not
even the length of,he reforms insisted upon tue
famous memorial of suvellanoe, presented in lI9o
TO the CoDsejo Real 10 the name Of the economical
society Of MADRID.
The ministers Of the enlightened despotlsm oil
the latter part of the eighteenth century Florida
Blanca and Campomsnes, had already begun 10
take steps in this direction. Besides II must
not be forgotten that simultaneously with tue
Cortes, there sat a French Government at Ma
drid, which, in all the provinces overrun oy tne
srmies Of Napoleon, had swept away from tue
soil all monastc and feadsl institutions a1d IN
troduced the modern system Of administration
The Bonspartist papers denounced the insurrec-
ton as entirely produced by the artilces ana
bribes Of Engla assisted BY the monks and .ne
Inauisition. How far the rivalry with the in-
trudiDg Government must have exercised sa'u-
tary influence upon the decisions OF the Cortes,
NAV be inferred from the fact that the Centrai
Junta itself, in its decree dated September, l5OJ,
wherein tie convocation Of the Cortes IS an-
nounced, addressed the Spaniard' in the following
terms: "Our detractors say that we are lighting

On the other hand, we may trace in the Con-
stituton of 1912 symptoms not to be mistaken OF
a compromise entered into between the liberal
ideas OF the eighteenth century and the dark ira
ditions of priestcraft. Ii sufices to quote Art.
~. according to which the religion of the
Spanish nation is and shall be perpe.aally Ca
"tholc. Apostolic, and Roman, the Only true re-
"ison. The nation protects it by wise and just
claws, and prohibits the exercise of any other
"wbatever;" or Art l73, ordering the King to
take, on bis accession to the throne, the follow
ing oath before the COrtes: IN, by the grace OF
God, and the Constitution Of the Spanish Mon
s'archy, King OF Spain / swear by the Almighty
land the Holy Evangeli.ts, that l will defend
"snd preierve the Catholic Ro nan, and Apos-
"toic religion, without tolerating any other in
"the kingdom"
On closer analysis, then, OF the Constitution
of 1872, we arrive at the conclusion that, 80 far
from being a servile copy of the French Consti-
tuition of l791 it was a genuine and original off
spring of Spanish intellectual life, regenerating
the al cent and national institutions, introducing
the measures Of reform l,1dly demanded by the
most celebrated authors AND state smen of the
eighteenth century making inevitable concessions
to popular prejudice.
