from the humblest ranks; to view

while the royal blood, $50 iealo usly

taties, Is now turned into other
courses, where, mixed with baser cur
rents, il viii soon be lost in the for
getfulness of oblivion. But one
monarch of this line of kings re-
mains, and he rules over what is now
the most insignificant empire in the
world, in every respect. except, per-
haps, its size-that of Brazil; and
even that throne must, sooner or
later, give way to the march of Re-
lpublicanism, which is the great cha
racteristic of all the other South
American States. In considering
the destiny of Spain under the new
regime, we must by no means con-
olude that the Bourbon family have
lost the throne forever. In addition
to their many good qualities, is that
of tenacity and the energy with
Which they combat misfortune.
The Prince of Austrias, now q mere
boy. will be false to all the traditions
OF mis- race, If his lifetime is not de-
voted to struggle for his heritage.
1t will not be the first time they have
so struggled, and that, too, success
fully. They were driven from the
throne of France from 1894 to 1914.
in Spain, from 1903 to 1914; in Ma
pies, from 1906 to 1916; in Parma,
from 1901 to 1917; in Eutria, from
1901 to 1907. The Prince of Aus
trias is, moreover, very popular with
the Spanish people, despite the dis
like inspired by the licentiousness of
the mother. Of all European ma
tions, the Spaniards are most welded
to tradition and the glories of the
past. The New Orleans Times thinks
the country has not yet passed that
period in civilization where progress
is inseparable from disorder and
anarchy, and loyalty still partakes
with them of that God-given right
and awe which hedged in the majes-
ty of olden times. We need not be
surprised to find, after brief inter
val of strife and discussion, Espar-
tero, or some other grandee, estab-
lished as Regent for The young
Prince, when it will remain to sue
ceeding age to write fms to their his
tory in that of the last of the Bour-
bons.

8 The House of Bourbon.


With the dethronement of Queen
Isabella, of Spain, disappears the last
reigning sovereign of the House of
Bourbon in Europe-a house which
has given more sovereigns to the
world, whose record presents aS once
the most romantic, the most glorious,
the most criminal and the most un-
fortunate of any embalmed in the
pages Of history. For eighty years
past q stern retributive justice has
followed the race wherever its de-
scendants have been planted. One
by one they have been stripped of
their honors, and driven into exile or
the grave. The living representa-
tives, beyond q characteristic obsti-
macy, have displayed qualities in no
ways inferior to their predecessors;
nor do they compare unfavorably in
enlightenment with contemporary
sovereigns of Europe; yet, so welded
have they been to misfortune, it
would really seem as though some
higher power had ruled their desti
>nies, as a lesson to the world upon
human frailty and the empty vanity
of worldly honors. Tho House of
Bourbon dates its origin to Robert
the Strong, Duke of Neustria, who
lost his life in S66, in battle against
the Normans, and was claimed by his
descendants to have been the descend
ant of the Emperor Charlemagne.
He gave two sovereigns to France,
in the persons of his two sons, one
of them, Hugh the Great, was the
father of Hugh Capet, the root Of
the elder line of the Dukes of Bur
gundy. One of Hugh Capet's de-
scendants, Henry of Burgundy, be-
came regent of Portugal, in 1895;
another of the fifth generation, Pierre
de Courtenay, became Emperor of
Constantinople, and founded q dy-
nasty of which there were many sue
cessors. Another descendant of the
eighth generation founded the House
Of Anjou, which held the throne of
Naples for two centuries, and subse-
quently that of Hungary. Other
descendants founded the houses of
Navarro and Burgundy, while q
second family Of Anjou usurped the
throne of Provence. All of these
houses were descended. from Anna
Jaroslawanna, q Russian Princess,
wife of Henry I, in 1851.
The modern soyereigns of the Bour-
bon dynasty were all more directly
descendants of Charles, Duke of
Vendome, who died in 1887. and was
father of Henry. of Navarro. after
ward Henry ~, of France. Branches
of this house were subsequently
planted upon the throne of Spain.
Q7O1, in the Two Sicilies, (1735,) in
Lucca and Parma, 1749.) and on the
throne of Naples. 1t will thus be
seen that this great house has been
allied, directly Or indirectly, with
nearly eyeryruling family in Europe
for four centuries. Students of mo-
dern history are all more or less fami-
liar with the vicissitudes and records
of this race. It would be vain TO at
tempt record of the illustYious per-
sons and illustrious deeds it has given
to the world. Modern European his
tory is, in fact, history of the Bour-
bons; their pecuiiarities, and their
schemes, and their ideas have played
an important part in making history
itself. It has remained for many
now living, to see in their lifetime,
the end of all this glory; to see them
topple from their eminences, one by

The Eight Hour Law.

At the last session Of Congress a law
passed making eight hours a legal dav :
work for all workmen and mechanics in
the employ of the United States Govern>
ment The question has arisen whether,
under the law, the laborer shall be entitled
t. the same wages rs if he worked ten
hours; and has been referred by the
President to Mr. ttorney General Evarts
for his opinion That functionary, not
without due legal elaboration and proIix~
ity whereby even plain and simple mat
tiers come to have a reconcile and profound
appearance, has written and publish ed
his opinion 1t i, when summed up. that
the law in question is silent on the sub
iect Of compensation, and that the governs
ment officials may use their discretion in
the matter. He further suggests that Ia
borers in the employ Of the government
should receive the same wages which, for
similar services. they would obtain in
private estahiishm in the vicinity
where they work if they can earn as
much in eight hours as in ten, as some
claim. they should be paid accordingly
but. otherwise. there is nothing in the law
or in reason to require the government to
paw ten hours wages for eight hours work
such are MIR Attorney General Evarts
