THE FUTURE GOVERNMENT
OF SPAIN

Phe Spanish revolution from its
beginning until the present day oc-
cupies very honorable position
among the revolutions Of modern
times, 1t was planned with great
wisdom. Before pronouncing, the
leaders, Of parties which never be-
fore had acted conformity, came to a
perfect understanding, The exeea-
ton Of the plan was admirable. The
revolution broke out almost simulta-
neously in every province of the
Kingdom. The cooperation Of the
commanders of the navy with the
first movements of the insurgent
leaders was stunning blow TO the
Government Of the Queen. The
feeble attempts of Gen. Pavla to
crush the instruction only served to
hasten its complete success. Once
victorious, the people and its leaders
showed themselves worthy Of their
cause. No retaliation was taken for
the bloody measures which the gov
ernment had in former years taken
against all implicated in former un-
successful Instructions ON the con-
trary, one Of the first reforms which
the Provisional Government PROM
ised to the people was the abolition
of capital punishment. ..
Still more glorious than the over
throw of the throne of Isabella, Is
the beginning Of reconstruction.

parties worked harmOniously tOgeth-

Provisional Governments. The
Provisional Governments. ia en-
phatic language, denounced the
many abuses under which Spain had
for many centuries grOAned, but they
very properly left definite legislation
to the Constituent Assembly. The
individual members OF the Provis
sional Governments expressed their
personal preference for a mOnarchi-
cal or republican form of govern
ment, but, like good patriots and
wise statesmen, the MOnarchists de-
clared that they would accept re-
public, and the Republicans that
they would accept monarchy, in
case the Constituent Assembly
should declare in favor of the one or
the other. Thus, both parties are de-
termined to avoid one OF the most
| frequent blunders of former revolu-
tions, after the success Ofwhich some
prominent leaders, instead of fully
acknowledging the majesty of the
national will, endeayoTed TO manu-
facture public opinion and to force
their own opinion upon the whole
people. 1t is this blunder which was
chiefly instrumental in the early de-
feat Of the French revolution of IS tS

before any member of the Provisions

either monarchy or a republic, anC

SLrRS an W0MAN.

At recent dinner in this city, at
which no ladies were present, a man,
in responding to the toast on "Wo-
man, dwelt almost solely on the
frailty of the sex, claiming that the
best among them were little better
than the worst, the chief difference
being in the surroundings.
At the conclusion Of The speech a
gentleman present rose to his feet,
and said; 3a

plicatiOn Of his remarks, refers to
his o,cn mother and sisters, and not
to OUrs.n
The effect of this most lust and
timely rebuke was overwhelming,
the maligner Of women was covered
with confusion and shame.
This incident serves an excellent
purpose in prefacing a few words
which we have for a long time had
on our mind tosay.
OF all the evils prevalent among
young men, we know of none more
blighting In its moral effects than thI
tendency to speak slightingly of th'
virtue of women. Nor is there any
thing In which young men are 81
thoroughly mistaken as the low ests
mate they form of the integrity o
women-not of their own mother
and sisters, thank God, but of other
who, they forget, are somebody else
mothers and sisters.
i AS rule, no person who surfen

one, and deep rooted. Ifyoung me

THE ROHANCEoF A LEAD
MINE.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Republican, describing visit to the
lead region of Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, tells this story:
One of the richest mines in Min-
eral Point has a story of some inter-
est. Many years ago party Of spec
ulators, Adventures all three in num-
Der, bought up tract of land on
which to demonstrate theory in re-
gard to mining which one of the par
ty had originated. The other men,
his companions and partners, We're
the money men of the company, who
had been duped by the one who had
the pet theory.
One entire season, from early
spring to autumn, was spent In hard
labor by these men. Their expenses
were ruinous. No matter, it was all
in vain labor and money were alike
unavailing, and when the winter of
that year (lS47} came on they found
themselves unable to proceed, and
still very far from success. They

QUEEN ISABELLA OF SPAIN.

Queen Isabella, Of Spain, is thirty
eight years Of age, but she looks a
great deal older. Her face is round,
her features are coarse, her nose
slightly retrOuSse, her eyes small and
blue, and her hair chestnut. Fortu-
nately she did not inherit the eZtraor-
binary nose Of her father, who was
indebted to 1t for the unpleasant
nickname, hNarizotai,n but unfortu-
nately she does not possess either
the graceful bearing or manner of
her mother, Queen Christina. She
bears no resemblance to either of her
parents, and does not look at all like
a Spanish woman. Her physiog-
nomy is devoid Of intelligence, her
voice is strong, somewhat hOarse,
and decidedly masculine. Her man
ners are vulgar, and destitute OF
majesty and refinement. Her moth
er is a proficient In painting and em-
hr0ideTy. Queen Isabella feels no
inclination to occupy herself with
needle work, nor does she like lltera-
ture and the fine nTts. She dresses
richly, hut her costumes never look
elegant; her mother in her youth
gave To a certain blue color the name
Of Christiana blue, but no stuff, no
article of female attire, ne color in
Spain ever bore the name of Isabella
! the Second. The life which the
| Queen leads is an easy one, but by
no means conducive to her health
she prolongs the sweets ofrepOse be-
yond rational length, and takes
\ very hearty breakfast between one
and two, and frequently hears Mass
not until four In the afternoon, which
renders the position Of her almoners
decidedly unpleasant, inasmuch as
the poor fellows can not touch any
food till that late hour. Toward
nighttall she takes q walk in the en-
closure Of the RETRO, and sometimes
in the most frequented parts Of the
Madrid promenade. At nightfall
the Queen returns to the palace and
generally eats more than is good for
her. she sometimes attends the pr
fOrmances of the royal opera, whith-
er she repairs, accompanied by q
number of curiOusly dressed ser
wants. After the performance she
retires, presides at the cabinet coun-
ell, cOnsults with her secret Camaril'
la, and finally INDUCES in those
pleasures to which she is so passion
ately addicted. The officers and dig.
nitaries who, according to Spanish
court etiquette, have to kiss Queen
Isabella's hand several times in the
course of the year, are greatly to bt
, pitied. To kiss a pretty female hand
is something which few men will
dislike, but to press ones lips upor
a swollen, misshaped, red hand, GOV
cred with yellowish scales, is quite
: another thing. These scales on lisa
/ bella's hand proceed from disease
! with which she is afflicted. ThC

UNRELIABILITY OF CIRCUMsTAK-

engineer of the New York express
train, while running between North

something wrapped in a newspaper

and arrested a man whose dress in
every particular corresponded with
the description, and whose bare foot
exactly fitted the track left by the
would-be destroyer. He was taken
to Hartford and committed for exam
ination. On Saturday, as the same
train came along again, the same
man who placed the bar on the track
again darted out Of the same place,
and throwing his arms above his
head, stood and let the engine strike
him! He was badly hurt, but not
killed. He proved to be crazy. But

THE CHINESE WoMAR'g TELE-
GRAPH.-During tho recent visit to
this country of the Chinese Ambas-
sadOrs, one Of them stated, In reply
to the inquiries of a physician, that
it was not customary in China, ex-
cept among the lower class Of people
for the doctor to see or touch female
patients. In order TO ascertain the
pulse of the sick woman, string is
tied around her wrist and extended
outside the window to the doctor,
who holds the string between thumb
and finger, and by this sort Of tele-
graph is enabled to count the pulsa-
tions. This seems q ludicrous plan,
but it is far less mischievous than
our custom Of admitting men doctors
to the private apartments Of females.
The opportunities for the medical ed
ucation Of females in this country
are yearly increasing, and we hope
the day is not far distant when the
ladies will be able to rout the men
from the sick room, and compel them
to stand out in the cold, under the
window sill. In China only women
nurses attend during childbirth.

THE ONEIDA COMMUNISTS.

Mrs. d. G.. Croly has recently Wis
ited the perfectiOnists and commun-
lists of Oneida, and says that her
ideas of them have thereby been ma
terially changed. So far from the
moral tBne of the Oneida commun-
lists verging upon coarseness, gross
ness or sensuality, ii seems TO bend
TO the other extreme, and be but one
remove from asCetism, In fact, a
rather severe tone Of piety appeared
to be the only drawback to their sub
lunary enjoyment. The individual-
ity between the sexes is less marked
than in society elsewhere; the men
are generally more serious, kindly
and gentle in their demeanor, the
women more free and self-possessed,
intelligent, and independent. They
stand, in fact, in the community,
precisely upon the same footing as
men. They are subject to the same
general rules and regulations, but
are under special bonds to no one,
and have no restraint and no pres
sure put upon their own inclinations
or sense of duty.
As to personal appearance, they
have generally been misrepresented
by newspaper correspondents. The
truth is, men abuse the accessories Of
the toilet, the paint, the whitewash,
the false hair, the long trains, and
the like hut they have become ac-
customed to them, and they do not
think woman handsome without
them, The women of the Oneida
Community use no toilet arts; they
do not even make the most Of their
natural advantages. They cut their
hair short, which is pity, for beau
tiful hair is a crown and glory to a
woman, as beard is to a man; and
they wear the most trying of all
dresses, a bloomer of medium length
with straight trousers. This is a
very conH enient and very comforta-
BILE dress for work, but 1t is neither
tasteful nor becoming. Moreover,
they are out Of doors a good deal
which, while it brightens their eyes,
somewhat tans their compilations, .
discoloration which they take ne
pains to conceal with powder. They

child, wandered down along Water
street, to the residence Of Mr.. Rol-

for herself and child. Her afflictions
were too great for her TO bear, and
she Immediately sank under their
weight, lingering until Wednesday
of last week, when she died. Dur
ing her illness, and up to the mo-
ment of her departure, she declared
herself unconscious of any cause for
such treatment on the part Of her
husband. She was kindly cared for
by Mrs. Rollings, Mrs. Hays, and
others. DIR. Hunt, the attending
physician, found the disease more in
the mind than the body, and quite
beyond the power of medical skill to
reach. Huffee would not accede
