MADRID. Nov. 9.-During the session of the Cortes
yesterday, Prim said, in reply to a question, that
Admiral Torpete had resigned on account of the
candidature of the Duke of Genoa. He would
continue to favor the revolution, and to aid him
(Prim) in the discharge OF his official duties.
The conviction is growing that in the present
state of parties the selection of a King is iInpossi-
BILE. The Cortes is az much divided in opinions as
the Cabinet. and. unless a compromise is effected,
the establishment OF the monarchy will be hopeless.
The Deputies to the Cortes from Porto Rico have
petitioned the Government to refrain from special
legislation for that colony for the present.
Three principal parties in the Cortes have each
appointed seven Deputies to hold a conference,
and endPavOr to come to some agreement i'm regard
to the selection OF a King.
There was a disturbance at Barhastro. in Aragon,
yesterday. Cries were given for the Republicans,
and other seditions demonstrations were made.
The outbreak was inconsiderable and easily sup
pressed. The town Is ROW tranquil.
The prospect for the election of the Duke of
Genoa as King continues to improve. The number
of Deputies in the Cortes known to be in his favor
is increasing: yesterday. 40 members among
them Radicals, openly pronounced for him. but
the majority of the people seem to be hostile to
his election. The merchants have presented a
petition in favor OF Montpensier.
In the Cortes yesterday, General Prim said if the
Ecumenical Council should adopt decisions hostile
in their operation to the Spanish Constitution, they
would be treated by the Government as null and
void.
FLORENCE, Oct. 3l.-The Italian Government

LAGER BEER-A Boy Tells oil About H.-At
one of our schools the boys were allowed to select
their own subject for composition. Here is the
result from one bright-eyed boy who told about
LAGER BEER.
Lager Beer is made in Milwaukee, and this is
why it is called Milwaukee Lager Beer. Germans
drink lager beer, likewise Americans, too but it
doesn't do Americans sc much good as it does
Germans, who get fat and jolly, while the Ameri-
can doesn't get fat only in the nose, and red too,
which a German don't. Everybody don't drink
lager beer-boys don't drink it because they amt
big enough. When they gets big enough they do
German boys do cause their pas lets 'em and
thinks it is good for them. l tried to drink lager
beer once, Inc and Bill Yager-Bill could drink it
cause his pa was a German-I couldn't drink it.
cause it was SO bitter-so Bill he drinked it all,
and then Bill licked me and my ma licked Bill
and Bill threw Il stone through our window and L
threw a stone at Bills dog and Bills pa said he
would lick me and my pa said he would lick Bills
pa, and therefore | don't think lager beer is good
for little boys, it's SO bitter. Editors drink lager
beer, and that is what makes them write bitter,
and likewise lawyers too and lager beer is good
for them. Lager beer amt so good as 1T used to
be, cause my pa said so, and ma she SAID he
ought to be ashamed of himself to drink 1t, and
pa said he was, only if people didn't drink lager
beer the other people couldn't sell their hops and
they would all spoil. Lager beer is five cents a
glass. cause my pa said So, only sometimes when
there is more lager it's five cents for two glasses,
and the men that make lager beer they all get
rich, and when ] get big l will make lager beer
too, only it's = bitter. And this is all L know
about it Wisconsin.
