A New CANDIDATE FOR THE SPANISH
THRoNE.-Prince Thomas, of Savoy, Duke
of Genoa, whose nomination by the Span
ish Ministry as King will probably be
ratified by the Cortes, is only Is years
of age, having been born on the 9Th of
February, 1854. He is of delicate con.
stitution,m middle stature, gentle disposition,
and without any marked traits of charac-
ter, just the monarch in fact for bold
and INSCRIPTIONS Regent or Minister like
Prim to hold in leading strings. His ia
ther the Duke of Genoa, younger brother
of Victor Emmanuel, died in 1855, when
the boy was scarcely year old, and he
has been brought up by his mother, Eliza
beth, daughter of John, King of Saxony,
who, ten months after the death of her
husband, contracted inorganic marriage
with the Marquis De Rapallo, formerly
Aid-de-camp Of the Duke. The sister of
the present Duke, the Princes Marguer-
lite, is married to the heir to the Italian
Crown, so that the two children of the
younger branch, which had become very
much Impoverished, seem destined to &C.
cupy thrones in their turn. About two
years ago,in order to give him more conf
dence in himself, and enable him to con-
quer timidity which was almost painful
the young Duke was made to enter an
artillery regiment. He bore himself
bravely enough in it, but it was found
that he bore fatigue with difficulty, and
that horse exercise was not suited to his
temperament. His mother, in the desire
to give him the best education possible,
then asked and obtained permission to
send him to school in England, where he
now is. 1t is probable that this quiet
retiring boy will have to make his way to
the Spanish throne over barricades and
seas of blood. What strange thing is
destiny-at least the destiny of Princes.

E- The fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution were rat
lied by both houses of the Virginia Leg
islature on the 9Th inst, in compliance
with the recommendation of Governor
Walker. In the House there were only
six votes cast against the amendments, and
in the Senate only four against the four
teenth and two against the fifteenth
amendment. This manifestation of good
faith ON the Walker conservatives will do
more to heal up the difficulties in the Re-
publican party and give assurance of a
proper reconstruction, to Congress, than
any other possible act of that body.

Under the head Of {" Lsvity in the Names OF
Churches" the New York Sun proceeds co"
dpaore TO enumerate various striking and p,-
culiar manifestations of the iIreverence OF
Americans in religious matters, IS shoE 10
the sppellaiions given to places Of worship.
Thus Dr. Bellows Caurch, 8 striped looking
structure, built OF red- brick and white marble,
Is variousIy designated as a. The Bsefstsak
Church" " The Church OF the Holy Zebra ~
and "The Church OF the Holy Gridiron." The
Dutch Reformed Church IN New York has a
large metallic gilt rooster on its spire as a
weather-vane, and Is known as % The Church
of the Holy Shanghai" The long, Struggling
edifice of the Protestant Episcopal Church OF
the Transfguratiou Is extensively known as
"The Church of the Holy Grasshopper," and
also Of the Holy Cucumber Vine" The Uni.
tartan Church, on Congress street, BROOKLYN,
IS Iow-roofed, nearly circular, and is painted
dark, sornbre color; hence its very unfortu..
nate nickname, " The Church of the Holy M ud
Turtle" Jay Cookies Episcopal Chapel, at
Put-ln-Bay, on Lake Erie, is, according to the
statements of the irreverent, to be named The
church OF the Holy Five Twentiss," out of
gratitude for the means by which the rich
banker acquired his wealth. While this ir-
reverent spirit is every way censurable, we
think that much of the blams attaches to those
who, IN planning or erecting church edidses
seek for fantastic, out of the way effects or in.
troduce features not in keeping with the pur.
poses Of the building. The zebra like stripes,
for instance, upon DIR. Bellows church causes
the appelIation by which it is currently known
to have q ludicrous fitness well calculated to
give 1t a hold in the popular mind.
That serenade came off last night Der SrAp
announcement the STAR Is always correct
and MIR. Boswell made a pretty good speech:
not quite so interesting as some OF his efforts
but still a very readable speech. But it is
strange that he should get the funny notion
into his head that TIE STAR Is irving
to heap infamy upon him. The trouble
is with Boswell that be is given to
exaegeration and is not very grateful THs
STAR has been the making Of Boswell: We
raised him from Justice of the Peace to the
best paying Office in the city-an Sis,Op
affair. We have always dealt can
didly by him and told him he ought To
learn to spell before we proceeded to make
him Mayor, but for all that The STAR
has never gone back upon him, though
he has abused us shockingly at times.
We always print his speeches In full
when the Chronicle and other papers slight
and mutilate him shame:ully. For instance,
HE STAR is the only paper that gives a
verbatim report of his speech last night; and
we will always cheerfully print any letters or
cards OF his verbatim. Heaping infamy on
him-pshaw! Do show some gratitude, Bo,.
well,
