reside at ArevallO We say her son, because, al
though at the death of Don joaquin she had a
daughter aged nine months, the child died shortly
after the death of its father. In the year 1880 she
| had also the misfortune to lose her son, and her
grief cmbittercd by the conduct Of her late
! husbands brothers, Don Antonio and Don Branto
de Montiio, who ordered her to leave their late
brothers house, she having right to call herself
/ his widow having by her infamous conduct neces-
STATED divorce. She refused to leave her house.
Proceedings were instituted before the COrregidOr
of Arcvally, Don Joaquin Beneito, who delivered
his sentence the 10th of june 1927, that
whereas a divorce had been pronounced in France
in 1913, it had not been annued by after cOhabta-
ton; consequently, in fault of heirs direct she
must restore the property of Don joaquin de Mon
! tlJo to his brothers. Against this sentence Donna
Maria went to the Royal Chancery of Valladoid,
and after many months litigation the original
Judgment was quashed. "Whereas Donna Maria
de Peansande was married on June g. $50, to Don
joaquin de Montijo, and whereas the divorce was
pronounced in a foreign country, then under the
rule OF usurper, under government as illegal as
lrrelIglouS, and not recognised in Spain; and
whereas such divorce had been annulled by the Ill
innate remorse of the part ties declares Donna Maria
entitled to the life interest in the property of her
late husband to revert to his brothers at her de-
mise"
Now, dates are troublesome things The French
IonHeT Of the 4th of June last announced that the
Empresss Eugenia had attained her thirty second
year on the preceding day, and had received the
cordlng to the official Nonitc, therefore, the En-
press Eugenia was born on the Sd of June, 1926,
ana according to the undsputed testimony of regist
ers anu other documentary evidence her father died
on october 30, 1923 from the effects of a fall from
ms horse These things doubtless admit of cxpla-
nation, but none has yet been given. Indeed, the
French Gazette de TriJNmdnc of September q, 1881,
which contains the rerJatm report of this cele-
Lre, has been forcibly distracted by Imperial ukase
from the files of that journal which are kept for
reference in the reading rooms.
AFFAIRS IN RUSSIA.
THE EMANCIPATION MOvEMENT--ARMY REFORM.
The st. Petersburg Gazette contains two ukases,
one relating to the peasants belonging to the apan-
ages assigned to the princes of the reigning family
the management of which is confded in Russia to
special ministry, by which the peasants receive
several prerogatves that render them almost free
men. They can now purchase and sell landed pro-
pcrty on their account while hitherto they
have only been able to buy and sell in the name
and thr6ngh the agency of the administration of
apanages. These peasants can, moreover, hence
forth carry on civil prosecutions without the assis-
lance OF the procureur of the apanages, whose
interference will for the future be at the will of the
plaintiffs. Lastly the peasants have the power of
disposing of their property by will, and have the
power of entering into the classes of traders and
Durgesscs in consequence of the suppression of the
dues hitherto paid to the administration of the
apanages which amounted to from 600 to 1,500
roubleS, but which are now replaced by payment
OF from fifteen to forty rOubles to the fund for dis
charged soldiers belonging to the class of peasants
Imperial rcscrpts have been sent to the mobiles of
the governments of Orenburg and Kalouga, grant
ting them permission to form emancipation com
mittees in those provinces.
BY another ukase the Emperor suppresses the
committee of military censorship and transfers its
functions to the civil one. There is henceforth to
be a person appointed by the Minister of War, to
whom the civil censors will communicate the manu-
scripts of military works. report will be made
the merit of each and the final decision on them
