The treaty is unjust to the United
States, because it assumes. to measure
the Injury inflicted upon this country
BY the money value of ships actually
destroyed, whereas the chief damage to
our commerce was in our ships Being
driven from the seas by Anglo-rebel
pirates. In addition to this, the SYM
pathy extended BY the English govern
tlent'to the South, prolonged the war
at least a year, and for all the lives lost
and money expended Cor this time
England IS directly responsible. The
treaty proposes to settle al these things
BY the payment Of the paitry value Of a
few ships. i'F 20 ~

The New Regent of Spain.


Spain rs once mare q monarchy
without crowned heads the, Constit-
uent Cortes having passed a degree
establishing Regency under Mar
shall Serrano, on the duties of which
he entered on Saturday. This is the
third time within forty years past
that the Spanish people have had a
Regent for their ruler. In October,
1882, Queen Christina was appoint
ed Regent during the indisposition of
her Infamous consort, Ferdinand VII,
then near his end, aud continued to
act in that capacity till his death in
the following year, when she assumed
the title of Governing Queen until
her infant daughter, Isabella H.,
lately driven from the Spanish throne
should attain her majority. Queen
in title, she was Regent in reality,
holding the throne for her daughter,
whose claims to it against the pre-
tensions of Don Carlos were estab>
lished by the quadruble treaty of
1884. Victorious over the Carlists,
after a terrible civil war, lasting for
seven years, Christina was compelled
by the revolutionary movement at
Madrid in 1910, to abdicate, and
leave the Kingdom, her downfall be
ing followed by the appointment of
the celebrated General Espartero,
Duke of Victory, TO power. as Re-
gent, during the minority of the
young Queen. Espartero held pow
er for little over two years, at the
expiration Of which time he was
himself overtime wn by revolution,
immediately after which event, the
nation having had enough of Regen.
cy, the young Queen, although only
thirteen years of age, was declared
by the Cortes to be of age. The
history of her reign is well known.
She, in her turn, has been driven out
of Spain, and in default of an slligi-
BILE candidate for the Spanish throne,
q Regency has once more been es-
tablished.
Francisco Serrano, the new Regent
is one of those many soldiers of for>
tune in Spain who owe their fame
and rank to the devotion with which
they fought during the war of hides
pendence.

The Root of all Evil.

The following is part of a letter of
the New York correspondent of the
Republican Statesman, printed in Con-
cord. 1t illustrates the sswoe" which
Jesus said should rest upon rich men.
The writer is a Wall street man, hav-
ing been for many years connected
with the business for which thatstre
is famous. 1t is, therefore, reliable.
ave have seen many casses in,,which
money proved terrible curse. For
instance, old John Jacob Aston lived
for years in state Of extreme dis
tress. The care of his property and
the fear of poverty wrought a frame
of mind which seemed akin to mad>
ness. He would consult all his friends
about investments and if the invest
ments chosen on such an occasion de-
clined in value, his distress was ex~
treme. His parsimony became ex-
cessive, and between that and his
fear oflosing ALI, his life was burden
to himself and those about him. An
other case was that of Mr.. H,
who got rich keeping retail store,
and by close economy made for
tune.
"Trade, in due time, moved up
town, and Mr.. H-being now adj
vanced in years, sold his stand for a
large sum and moved with his fami.
ly to o modern house. There the
style of housekeeping was changed /,
and they lived at more expense
This gave the old man much annoy,
ance, and preyed upon him so, that
to escape troubles he one day cut
his throat. The founder in one of
the greatest banking houses in Wall
street, Mr.. P, having retired in.
the opulent Incidence, became SO I'm.
happy over his wealth that he COM
mitted suicide in a similar manner.
another capitalist sold piece of
real estate, which was resold q short
time after at the trifling advance of
$500. He was so much annoyed by
this that he lost his health and appe.
tite, and finally was found hanging
in his own garnet. A rich member
of the bar shot himself, few years
ago, in the broad corridor of the sec>
ond story .of the City Hall. He was
a bachelor, which might explain part
Of his misfortunes, but it was the de-
vouring careof large property
which drove him to his fate. About
the same time a leading and opulent
leather dealer. in the swamp COM
mitted suicide. This was l., of
q Co., a. conoernIwhose, sacoes-
sors are still among the kings OF the
heather trade. Mr.. D. lived in
grand style, and owned a fine gallery
of paintings; but after all, the grand
eur of his position was too great a
load, and he sought relief in. the m ost
fearful of crimes. We give names in
initial, and they will be recognized by
many. All of these tragedies came
under our eognizance, and we could
increase the list were it necessary to
do so.

sG- From present appearances the
number of immigrants landing at
New York in the first six months of
1869 will not be less than lac, 900, of
whom about two fifths are Germans
about .one-fourth Irish, one-sixth
English, and one-seventh Scandina>
vians, chiefly from Sweden. The
Irish immigration is numerically
greater than last year, but relatively
less, and the same is true of the Ger
mans; while the English immigrants
have doubled, and those from Sean
dinavia more than doub led. The
total increase over last year at this
one port is nearly thirty per cent.
The immigration from France and
Switzerland has fallen off this year,
and will much exceed 1900 from both
countries for the six months ending
July |, In proportion tolthe popu-
lation, the Irish emigration is nearly
a hundred times as great as that from
France.

had to work for 20 cts. a day, and
got along better than he does now
with 40. It is chiefly owing to the
excess in luxury. Women of the
lower and middle classes, who used
to go in calico, and bareheaded as
was then the style, can hardly be

Partisan styles of hats, bonnets and
costly silks; but they are not a. bit
better off in real wealth and happi>
ness, and al seem to go in for mere
show; the same as have often OBJ
served in America. In fact, this
country seems TO follow I'M the foot
steps of shoddyism, and they are just
as fast here in manufacturing shoddy
cloth, as you are in Yankeedom and
we are not far..apartas regardscheat-
ing, only it is carried on here en- a
smaller scale. Ihope nolone,will take
anything amiss, for L give my hon.
est opinion. derived from personal
observation. aa
l have not much more to say, ex~
cept as regards the prospect of crops
Everything looks promising. Rye,
the chief grain in this part, never
looked better, and as it is past bloom
ing, it is regarded as safe. Wheat is
in bloom, and winter barley will be
ripe in week. Apples will be scarce
in this vicinity, because the trees
were overloaded last season. Stone
irui., such as cherries, plums, &C., are
very plenty. ate ripe cherries two
weeks ago. Grapes are in bloom and
promise larger yield than ever. To
give you an idea Of the extent of our
grape culture, [ will state that there
was about 1900 barrels of wine made
in this place last year, and 10000
barrels of cider. Of course it is not
all consumed here, but is sent off to
different parts of Northerr Germany.
l see by the Herald that you re-
ceived that box of grape cuttings,
aud / hope they will prove a success.
| could have sent you more varieties,
but picked cut those L thought
best adapted to your climate. As
the seasons are short in Wisconsin, |
sent none but early kinds. We have
ripe grapes here the LIST of August.
Last Sunday l found the first ripe
huckleberries, with which the woods
are covered. Ali in all this is a de-
lightful cline in which to live; but
still, L am tired of it, and long for
the day when [ shall start for the
Land of Liberty. J. BEIG.

Sensation by Pretty Young Qua
keress.

A beautiful young lady, dressed as
a Quakeress entered the office of
railroad official yesterday.
and asked for pass over the road,
good for one month. She stated
that she was engaged in missionary
work, and expected to do much good.
The peculiar character of the work
was explained, and asking the young
lady to be seated, the gentleman
proceeded to fill out pass as reques.
ted. This was handed to her, but
stating that she could. not read, she
handed it back. The gentleman read
aloud the pass-alloving her to go
to any point on the whole lime of
road at any time within one month
from date. The lady, to hissurprise,
dropped on her knees and PRAYED
earnestly for some minutes. The
act did not surprise as much as her
sweet tone and beautiful language
Most beautiful thoughts were ex>
pressed in well chosen words, and
the woman seemed to yield to the
spirit of the moment. In her own
language, the spirit moved Ter to
thank God for putting SO good a man
in such place. She said she had
been an idle, frivolous girl disposed
to ignore the teachings and customs
of her people, but that, uneducated
as she was, she had devoted herself
to a good work and had accomplish
much, and hoped to accomplish much
more. This is the incident as it oc-

ng-The Pope has just delivered an
allocution, in which he takes o sur
vey of Italy in particular, and the
whole world in general from the
Vatican point of view. According
to the telegraphic report, His Hol,
mess specially deplores the Italian
law subjecting clerical students to
military CONSUMPTION, as an infringe.
ment of the immunities, rights and
liberty Of the Church. He weeps
over the religious freedom of Aus tria
and Hungary, the civil freedom of
Spain, and extols the zeal of Bishops
of Poland. undaunted by Russian
persecution. The allocution con.
cludes with these words: "I4et the
enemies of Christ, consider the fate
of His enemies. Let US pray that
they may be restored to the paths of
Justice, and that the Church may be
crowned with fresh triumphs."
