B1t II Castelar's views are to he realized
10 spite Of Prim aud the army, there must
be either a conflict in which the army may
be oyerpowered, or a combination by which
tue army may BE- Won over or neutraliLed.
SO long as thu army exists in Spain the
mastery lies Hitb il; il lies usually with it,
leaders. No doubt republicaRism has Of
late advanced with great strides. Mon
archy is sun without monarch, but repub-
licauism is no longer at a loss for republi-
cans. They number thousands here 10
Madrid-hundreds Of thousands In the
northeastern and southwestern provinces
Every hour that is lost svells their num-
bers, enlis's in their behalf the peoples
sympathies, associates with their general
aims variety Of local ambitions, a multi
tude of personal interests. Republican
Utopianism finds a ready ally in that self,
whose only principle is success, yet which
By mere weight ensures success. Every day
the provisional government has less 20 give,
every day adds TO the disappointed, to the
disconnected list. Every day, Tor aught we
know, may bring on the conflict; there is lit
tie doubt as to its result so long as the army
retains its compact attitude, obedient to
one will, devoted to one man. Prim seems
to be penetrated with the Importance Of
this fact; he seems all engrossed with his
own administration he seems bent on no
other object than to make the army his
own. Prim's silent but assiduous work
should not be forgotten. 1t is by its light
that une should read Senior CAstelar's etfu-
sion by It's light that we should endeavor
10 come to the issue of any possible con-
dict. There is one point in which no inno-
walton whatever has been effected in Spain
Spain still has her army. She is still, she is
more than ever-at the mercy Of that army.
That army may harbor no sinister designs
Ii may wish for no conflicts it may long
for hearty and thorough differentiation
It's leader may mediate no encroach
ment on popular liberties. He may, on
the contrary, aspire to their fullest devel-
opment aud consultation. Still that army
and its leader must be taken into account
in every movement. Should the movement
lead TO a collision no one can answer for
the consequences 1t IS not a republic
that is to be feared; it is that three days
anarchy which is sure to lead to no one
knows how long period of military dicts-
torship.

The HOG.-SOme call the hog stupid.
Stupid, indeed His intellect Is OF = high
order, and bis instincts are as sharp a.
well, razor or a briar, or g steel trap. His
courage, when be get his bristles up, and
chooses TO uss his tusks, make him tbs ter
ror Of both men and dogs. He knows "a
hawk from a handsaw," and can tell his
feeding time as we'll as ifhs carried clock
IN his body. He is an esrly riser. aud the
familiar "c-h-o-a-r k,c-h-O-A-r-k" OF his feed
er just at the peep o. day never fails to be
answered. lie never misses roll-call, though
he canrot be called a soldier. A "hog in
srmor" is said tn be the most ridiculous Of
ali things. His s,gacity in determining lati
tudes exceeds that OF the most scientific
men.
What would mankind do without the
hog lIe supplies food TO millions, He is
the great crop OF the great West. Those
who are too distant FROM market to sell their
grain and trunk products feed them TO the
hogs, and then sell the hogs, thus killing
two birds with one stone. Bread IL called
"the sts II Of life" the hog is life itself. The
beuaty in her silks and satius may turn
from him in disgust as be energies from his
sty all reeking with mire, but she eats him,
and enjoys him, too, when be appears on
the table. IL has been observed by those
accustomed to cater for the public, that the
fAvorite diet cf ladies generally, however
delicate aud dainty, is Skodt.
The hog is a mighty ihssItstinR-a power
in the land. 10 spite of bis snout, Of his
brisles of his grunt, of his foul habits and
his peryerse ways, the hog deserves 70 be-
held In high esteem; 10 be treated kindly
while living, and 10 be killed gently, and
with ss little pain as possible, When his
time comes. The time of many is at hand.

WHAT SroNEwALL JACKSON PRoPosED.-
Referring to Mr.. E. A. Pollard's statement
that Stouewall Jackson once proposed thai
his men should be stripped naked aud make
night attack upon the Yankees, " A Var
ginian" writes 70 the savannah Neirs that
on the night Of the day OF the battle at
Fredericksburg, General jackson suggested
that the artillery Of the First and second
corps-his aud Longstreet's-should be col
ectsd upon the hills directly in front of
the town, and a heavy FIRE be opened upon
il and that the men Of his corps be strip
ped to the wais', TO distinguish them from
the enemy, and, under cover Of the artil-
lery fire, force their way into the town and
JdyOna all who we're not similarly attired.
This he may have proposed.

GENERAL GRANTS FORrUsE.-The Wash
iugton correspondent Of the St. Louis Dem
OcrAt says:
General Grant Is rich already, and by
cautions Investments he is destined to be
very rich one day, ranking with the most
opulent. He owns thirty eight acres OF
land within the corporation limits OF Wash
ington, worth 50 900 an acre. His house
here is held At $50 900. A farm near ST.
LoIis and houses at Gal-na and ia PhilA-
delphia should add slOO, 900 to the former
items. Three hundred thousand dollars
will probably not be in excess of the Presi-
dent eleei's possessions. Meantime his
commercial training and fondness for ma
terial speculations, added 20 his good lack
aud caution, are exemplifying themselves
in ludiciOus operations 10 honorable fields,
IL Is altogether probable that We shall have
in Grant a Presidnnt Who exercising all
due liberality and hospitality 10 the Chief
hagistracy, will be- the FIRST President since
Washington TO be discreet aud practical in
the management OF HE private fortune
His comparative youth will permit him,
should he live tO the average age OF Presi-
dents, thirty years duration after the ex.
piratiOn of his term Of oftlce.- X fillmore

Iuvo Funerals for One Man.

A very eccentric old gentlemen, John
Henry Martinsten, who kept an old Ecu
riosity Shop" in New Orleans, hut who, By
his sssiduous attention to business, had re-
allied a handsome fortune, has Just died in
that city. One of the New Orleans journals
relates very remarkable incident in bis
life, which, it says, many respectable citi-
zens can vouch for. Many years ago Mr..
Martinstein was taken quite sick and went
of in trance, which so nearly resembled
death that his demise was announced, and
all the preparations made for the burial.
On the appointed day the coffin containing
the body was placed in handsome hearse,
which, followed by long train Of mourners,
proceeded towards the cemetery, when the
horse suddenly took fright and ran away,
the coffin being thrown violently 10 the
ground and burst open. The surprise and
fright of the spectators may he imagined
wnen from the cofiin was seen TO arise Mr..
Martinstein himself, still instinct with life,
aud presenting Ia his burial robes q sight
from which many ran headlOng away. lie
very quietly walked home, protesting
against being put away in so summary a
manner, and declaring mis- intention 10 live
tor many a long day. This promise he kept
religiously, as MS heightened hold upon life
sufficiently proves. Not the least curious
incident connected with the attempted
burial of Mr. Martinstein, was the fact that
the undertaken who had been engaged had
no idea of being cheated of what he fAucied
was his just dues, and, upon being refused
payment for his partially performed service,
brought suit for the amount, and actually
obtained judgment in bis favor 10 the lower
court. Nc. hsrtiustein, however, took an
appeal, aud the judgment was reversed
the court ruling that as he had not per
formed the service for which he had con
tracted, he was not entitled to pay for the
same. There were those who followed the
remains Of the old gentleman to the grave
this time who we're also ia the cortege
wnen fortunate accident restored him TO
his family and friends.
