A MODERN BOURBON.

The BOurbons of Europe, like the ''old Bour-
bon (whisky) Democracy of America, have
the reputation of never forgetting and never
learning anything--a peculiar mental charac-
teristic that has put the Bourbon family and
the ''old Bourbon" Democracy rather in the
background in this age of progress. The say
ing is that exceptions prove the rule, and
by this precept we are perhaps to judge
Prince Henri de Bourbon, who has just
addressed letter to the Minister of State at
Madrid, in which he gives his adherence to
the new Spanish constitution, and makes
number of extraordinary declarations. The
Prince, who has just distinguished himself by
marrying an American wife, is apparently
animated by the most intense democratic I'M
pulses he pitches into" some of his relatives,
past and present, in the iveliest manner, and
intimates plainly that he does not intend to
regulate his conduct by their example. All
of which indicates that he is wiser young
man than some others who are not Bourbons.
He is of the opinion that the universal ten
dency is towards republic, and that prince
deceives himself who in our time devotes his
thoughts and efforts to the foundation OF a
dynasty He does not admire Caesar, 1.-The
miserable despot of Rome, and thinks that
there exists more profit to humanity and more
glory for public man in the illustrlous model
of Washington. This democratic Bourbon
also announces that he is not candidate Tor
the throne of Spain, although he does not ex-
plicitly say that he will not take 1t If he can
get it. Even if he did say so, in the most
positive terms, there is reason to be-
lieve that he might be induced to change his
mind. The democratic Bourbons and the
''old Bourbon" Democracylare somewhat alike
in this respect, as was sufficiently demon
strated in the case of the coy Horatlo Sey-
mour who, protesting that he never would
accept, accepted
This young Bourbon's letter is very gratify-
ing as a sign of improvement in the family,
if it means anything; but very little below
the surface it looks like shrewd bid for the
throne of Spain. These gentlemen-the old
Bourbons and the "old Bourbon Democracy
are all sincere patriots when out OF otnce.
Louis Napoleon was good republican until
he saw his way clear to make himself En-
neror. and his cousin, Prince Napoleon, has
broupht himself into serious disfavor IN I'M
neriaI circles by the plain and decided
manner in which he has announced
his democratic convictions. And yet there
are many willing to say that Prince
Napoleon, if he should manage, by hook OF
by crook, to get into power, would be willing
to 90 greater lengths than his imperial cousin
to retain it. Now, young Henri de Bourbon
may be very clever and honest fellow, he
may mean well, but his family record is bad
and the people of Spain, although they ma.
90 further and fare worse, would perhaps dc
as well to take him at his word, and not temp
him by offering him the refusal of the throne
Of Spain.

No. 629 Chestnut street, Philadelphia
Gents:-A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night OF May 20, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you few menth ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge it is
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
1t useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock- The hammering was heard by parties In the
nelghborhood for several hours but supposlng to
arise from the railroad men replacing defective
rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left 1t is evident that they were
not only prepared but perfectly familiar with the
construction OF your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
Bankers Chests are what you claim for them Bur-
gar-Proof

A Bishop Mistaken for a
Ku-Kiuy. r-t

The Southern negroes, in their
horror of the Ku-Klux mysteries,
are particularly fearful of grave
yards. They have always been
superstitious in this regard, but
now they will not go within'a
mile Of a cemetery. An amusing
story is told about Bishop Beck
with, of Georgia, who had occa-
sion, some time ago, to visit a
remote portion Of his diocese.
There were not many Episco-
palians in that region of Georgia
but few of the whites had eve,
seen a successor of the Apostles
and the negroes did not kno"
what sort of q creature a bishop
was. 1t soon became nolsed
about that on a certain evening
the Bishop would arrive and hole
services in church ofa certain
village Of the above district, ant
the whole neighborhooa was fill
ed with curiosity to go and set
the queer animal that rea(
prayers out Of a book. Tht
negroes were especially excited
and they determined to atten'
the church iii mass. The hous'
Of worship was not an Episcopa
Church, consequently it had NJ
vestry-room in which the Bishop
lcould put on his vestments. g

During the heat of the battle,

four tobacco and cigar stores,
besides twelve other firms en-
gagged in various branches III

eight lawyers and seven 1hysl-
clans in the place. Fourfapers:
three daily and one wep@ly, are |

OUR CHILDHOOD.
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE,

'Tis sad, yet sweet to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew SO well;
To gazteout on the even.
And til, boundless f,dS Of air,
And feel again our boybood's wish
TO roam like angels there
There are many dreams Of g'adness
That cling around the past
And from the tomb Of feeling
" Old thoughts come throng'ng fast ),
The forms We loved SO dearly I
In the happy days now gone.
The b"autlu! aud lovely,
So fair to lock upon. .+

Aud whose locks Of gold were streaming
Ger brows so sunny bright.
Whose smiles are Ike the sunshine
In the spri;g time Of he year
Like The ch-ng-fal CLEANS of April, .
They followed every tea' !
They have passed Ike hopes-away
Ard their 'cv.liness has I'D;
Oh. many heart is mourning
That they are with The dead. ..
Like the brightest buds Of summer,
Thy have fallen with the stem;
Yet, oh it is lovely death.
To fade from earth lake tn IN!
And yet the thought is sadlening
To muse on such as they,
And feel that al! the beautiful
Are passing fast away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast.
Like the tendrill Of the clinging vine.
Then perish where they rest.
And We can but think IF these.

When the trees are waving DER ne.
And the flowers are b'ossoming;
And W. know that winters coming
