Public opinion in Europe and in this
country points to Prim as the leading
spirit in the Spanish revolution We
find a sketch of him in the French
Courier which gives more favorable
representation Of him than we have met
with before.
He was born in Catalonia of a noble
family in 1914. When seventeen years
old he volunteered in Queen Isabella ;
army, and took very active part in the
seven years civil war which followed
He was at home in the battle field, and
rapidly rose to the rank Of colonel He
was very popular in the army, and was
indebted very much for his popularity
aarf 20 every danger, ! ana was Tiia'griea
by balls, but was never seriously hurt.
His wonderful escapes excited the ad
miration of his comrades, who came to
fancy he bore a charmed life
The war finished, Qneen Christine. as
Regent, usurped all power and was ban
ished. and was superseded by Espartero.
The Procressors, Of whom Prim was one,
were dissatisfied with Espartero lie
fed to France returned and raised
revolt against the Regent, Espartero,
whom he succeeded in overthrowing
But the Queen mother, whom be had re-
stored, could not forgive liberalism, had
him arrested and charged with a plot to
assassnate Narvaez, of which he was con
victed and sentenced to six years i'm
prisonmeut After six months he was
released and went to Constantinople to
aid the Turk against the Russian. On
his return he joined O'Donnel in sub
verting the ministry of Narvaez.
Some Journals have represented him
as Republican In this they are mis-
taken. He is Spanish Progressist or
Liberal If he declared against Queen
Isabella. it was because he was convinced
that nothing could be effected by herr
but has too much good sense to think
that country in the condition of Spain
is capable of becoming a Republic.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28-The idea
prevalent that Gen Grant is always tact
turn Is quite erroneous. There are per-
sons with whom he converses freely on
politics as all other topics. To-day in
an interview with a friend he said he
thought the result of the election had
salutary effect on the country, aud that
already it was quieting down. lie ap-
pretended no trouble in the future, and
believed the condition of the country
will soon show improvement. He said
he was desirous of peace, but that 30 far
as he was concerned, the rights Of all
classes of people and communities should
be respected Also, referring incident
ally TO the fourteenth constitutional
amendment, he said after next census, in
accordance with its provisions, Ken
lucky aud Maryland would suffer loss Of
presentation if they refused to allow
negroes the right of suffrage. 81 1t will
be bitter pill for them, continued the
General, " but l reckon they will have
to stand it.

Kiss my nephew, the little Napoleon for

thrones They are good children for
taking thought Of their old uncle, but
l desire neither bshopric nor cardi-
nails cloak. = x Go,
General and if you respect the wishes
of your Emperor's uncle, do not come
here again.
When an officer received an order from
the Emperor, he was obliged to execute
the imperial wish. II Napoleon said
/" Yoa are to take that town, it was
written that it was to be taken his pro
phetic word was one of the thousand
causes of his great success You will
take my uncle, the cure, from his living
and make him come to Paris, or take
him to Rome he must be near to me,
or near the Pope-it matters not which ;
he will do well whichever he chooses,
but it must not be otherwise lie must at
least become bishop"
Tie General entreated, spplieated,
and, at last, insisted that the Sre should
alter his decision. The brave Sold.

the good cure remained firm to his reA

replied with the bitterness of9n irritated
Corsican, aud with the authority of an
aged relative, who was not to be coaxed
or fattered by the inconsiderate youth
and ambition Of his great nephew:
" General, | have given you my an
swer and | viii not swerve from it, "
The disappointed General was forced
to retire without executing his mission,
and his noisy escort evacuated the viii
lage.
When Napoleon heard of the bad sue
cess Of his ambassadors and his utter
want Of ambition in a Bonaparte, he
shrugged his shoulders with contemptu-
Gus pity.
Mattea was married to the dragoon,
and became, in time, the wife of colo
mel. Tommasso was, in a few years, a
captain in the Imperial Guard
And the good cure, Bonaparte, died
before the termination of the first en-
pire, beloved and regretted by all around
him. Alas he was, after all-says the
French account from which this little
narrative is rendered into Englisb-the
happiest Of his family.
