8uiess Out OF Piace-The Action of ths
Spirit or the Age.
Cae Of the chief characteristics Of the pre-
sent age, and perhaps that which will form its
most prominent feature in the future pages Of
history, is the great number OF rulers out OF
place, rightly or wrongly and wandering &c
and fro upon the earth
America, Europe, Asia and Africa all pre-
cent in marked form this unmistakable sign
of the times. The Bourbons, who have go long
ruled in several European States, have now
only one crowned head left that Of Isabella,
Queen of Spain. The Count de Chsmbord,
who is looked upon as the head of the family,
Eanders through Europe. followed by the
Count de Paris, Count Montemolin, Don John
Of Bourbon and Francis ii. Of Naples, all
claiming crowns that others wear. To the
Ietinue of European rulers out of place Italy
contributes furthermore three Grand Dukes
Parma, Modena and Tuscany, and may jet send
his Holiness the Pope on q like pilgrimage.
1t cannot by any means be supposed that
the age has crowned its work with this
short roll. Germany has some thirty-eight
or forty rulers, the list being headed by the
Emperor Of Austria, every one of whom is on
the anxious seat, while the spinit Of the age is
searching their titles to farther continuance
in place. 1t may not be very long before they
all join the procession OF discharged rulers.
On our own continent the Spanish American
countries furnish an almost countless list for
the procession. Rosas and Santa Anna lead q
host Of rightly discharged wrongdoers, in
which we find Monagas and Castro from Vene-
zuela, Echenique and Vivanco from Peru,
Bezu from Bolivia, Franco from Ecuador,
Caoanas from Honduras, Baez from st. Do
uipgo, and Sououque from Hayi, while two
x-Presidents-Mora and Walker-have just
been executed for trying to get back into place.
Besides these there are several Others who
should be classed as the wrongly expulsed,
amoug whom Paez, Of Venezuela, and Comon-
tort. Of Mexico, stand most prominent. Nor
have the causes which have produced this
America any more than in Europe. With the
exception OF the United States, the British
Provinces and Brazil, we may expect to witness
Che falling into the out of place line of any Of
the present rulers in America, and even this
country may contribute its quota If the revo-
lutionary principles of the black republican
party are fully inaugurated at Washington.
From Africa Abdel Kader heads the list OF
discharged rulers, whose vacant places may be
found at almost any point along either the West
ern or Eastern shore of that continent, from Al
geria to the Cape of Good Hope. The footsteps of
civilization are as prominent there, relatively
considered, as in any other part Of the world.
But il is, perhaps, in Asia where this prominent
Characteristic of the age is most notable.
Russia holds a host OF deposed Khans, from
toe Ural mountains TO the mouth Of the Amoor,
and southwark to the frontiers Of Persia and
China, most known among whom is Schamyl,
the warlike defender OF the Businesses OF the
Caucasus. Next stands England, with long
list OF displaced and pensioned Rajahs in India
and Afghanis,an, followed by the Dutch

Brooke, the English Rajah of Sarawak.
