The New King of Spain.


Don Baldomero Espartero, Duke
of Vittoria, who, it would seem, is
about to become King of Spain, is in
his 10Th year. He was born at Ora
natula, in Ciudad Real, where his
father followed the occupation of a
cartwright. On the invasion of Spain
by the French, in 1908, Espartero,
then a student, entered the Sacred
Battalion, which was almost entirely
composed of his class. After the
close Of the Peninsular war he went
to South America, where he fought
against the insurgents. Victory
having crowned the patriots arms
and put an end TO Spanish rule on
the Continent, Espartero returned to
Spain after ten years absence, bring
ing with him considerable wealth
that he had acquired in Peru. The
breaking out of the Carlist war next
called him to the field. He declared
himself in favor Of tho succession of
Ferdinand VII, and soon attained
the rank of Lieutenant General
The exigencies of this time afforded
him ample opportunity for advance
ment. In August, 1886, when Mad
rid was in imminent danger of
capture, his skill saved it. The fol-
lowing year, when the Carlist army
appeared before the capital, he again
saved it. A successful campaign in
1889 resulted in the expulsion Of Don
Carlos, and secured to Espartero the
title of Grandee Of Spain and Duke
Of Vittoria. Higher dignities, how
ever, awaited him. In 1910, the
Queen-mother Christina was COM
PEELED to resign her Office of Regent,
and the following year the Cortes
appointed Espartero to fill that Office
until Queen Isabella should have
reached her majority. lie discharg-
ed the Regal duties that thus devolv-
ed upon him with energy, firmness
and ability. In 1843, however,
political combination Of adverse par
ties brought about his fall. He sail
ed for England, and resided there for
four years. In 1847 he returned to
Spain, and for seven years lived
quietly at Logrono. An instruction
among the people resulting in the
expulsion Of the Queen-mother,
broughtEspartero into power in 1854,
but two years later he was supplant-
cd by General O'Donnell. This event,
caused by the antagonism of O'Don-
nell, was followed by Instructions
successfully at Madrid, Barcelona
and Saragossa. Espartero did not
seem to favor these demonstration
in his name. From that time until
the inception Of the revolution
of 1868 be has takenno promi-
nent part in policicaI action.
He was active in the movements
which resulted in the flight of Queen
Isabella and his succession to the
Regency. He is generally regarded
as an honest man, gallant soldier
and prudent conservative.

The CHAMPION GOLD SETTLER. -
Several papers have been busiIy en-
gagged during the past few months in
bringing to notice the old settlers in
Wisconsin. The Green Bay Gazette
has now found one who goes back of
all yet brought forward. Here is
what it says:
We allude to Moses Hardwick, now
residing at Bay Settlement, in this
county. His claims for early and
long continued residence "knock the
socks" off any body else. lie came
to Green Bay in the year 1916 as a
soldier, aud was subsequently, dis
charged at Fort Howard. Upon re-
ceiving his discharge he settled here,
and has since continued to reside in
this vicinity. Hardwick served gal
lantly in the war of 1912, and at its
close received bounty from the gov
eminent. He is a hale old veteran
and although be can tell his grand
children how. fields were won, he is
not obliged to shoulder the crutch'
to do it. Mr.. III. is now eighty-fve
years old, but is well and hearty, and
to-day can vault over five rail fence
in a manner that would put Young
America to the blush. After this
when you're talking of 'old settlers, y
give Moses front seat.

An American traveller tells this
story of his foreign experience
One day last fall, in company with
an eminent Clergyman of London, |
was making my way toward the
Thames Tunnel, when we were stop
ped by an itinerant vender of PIC
lures, who seemed to know my COM
panion. Buy some Of these pictures
of the pubic buildings of London,
sir, said he, and you can give them
to your American friend to take
homo with him.
| was in hurry, but my wonder
ment would have stopped mo if l
had been running to fire.
GLOW in creation did you know |
was an American ?" | asked
"Why, L couldn't mistake that,
the picture seller replied, with a
quiet laugh. "Youre American all
over"
purchased a picture, and then
asked him to explain himself.
81 would know you by your soft
beaver hat" he said, "That's an
American fashion"
"Well--if it were not for that ?"
He glanced down at my feet.
"Your boots would betray you
Nobody but Americans wear square
toes"
"Well-what else ?'
"Yocr chin whiskers. English
men always wear the mutton-chop
style"
"Well-anything more ?"
"lf you won't be offended sir ?"
"Not at all ! am seeking for in
formation"
81 should know you BY your thin,
peaked face
Well my friend" / said, Il fancy
you are to the end Of your catalogue
now. Suppose that wore stiff,
high crowned hat, round-toed boots,
mutton-chopped whiskers, and had a
face as red and chubby as any in
Britain-would yo be able to know
me for an American then 2"
Certainly should, as soon as
heard you speak" the fellow trium-
phantly answered. "You Americans
invariably commence every sentence
with a lceH."
My English friend laughed loud
at the mans adroitness.
81 believe he is more than half
right" he said. "See if your nation
atty is not detected everywhere you
go"
1t was even so. In Paris | was
importuned to buy a photograph of
La Fayette, because he was "ze friend
Of ze Americans y in Genoa dirty
vagabond was clamorous to exhibit
TO me the house where columbus
was born, because he discovered 1.-THE
signor's great countree," and at Al
exandria the climax was capped by
ragged little defendant of the
Pharoahs, who besought me to take
a ride on his donkey. "Strong DON
kee - fast donkee - nice Yankee
Doodle donkey !" was his irresistible
appeal, in the only English words be
knew.

A Boy LIVES THIRTEEN MONTHS
WITH BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.-On
the 10Th of March, 1869, a young girl
(whether accidentally or otherwise,
we are not at present informed) shot
q boy named Joseph Downing, who
lives in Maryland near the State
line. The ball entered his head. DIR.
Thompson of Gumboro, dressed the
wound, and the boy slowly recovered
and has ever since been able to go
about, perform work. etc. He was
subject, however to severe ATTACKS
of headache, which sometimes con-
fined him to bis bed for several days
in succession. Recently he died and
DR.. Thompson, assisted by Miers B.
Belts, made a post norton examin-
alton. The Doctor found the ball
without difficulty by large abcess
which had formed around it, or rath-
er to one side. 1t was a little to one
side of the great longitudinal assure
over the corpus coliseum or great
cerebral eommissure. The abcess
contained two fluid ounces Of pus.-
1t is something remarkable if not
unprecedented for person to thus
live tor thirteen months with q lead
en- bullet embedded in his brain.
though it is by DO means unusual for
persons to recover through whose
brain bullet has passed.

SOCIAL PHASES OF WALL STREET.
Perhaps no where in the world are
the lines which separate men social
ly so completely leveled and ignored
as at the center Depreciation. Here,
Gentle and Jew, aristocrat and dem
ocrat, gentleman and ruffian, gambler
and legitimate business man, meet
on a common level. AS brokers and
spectators they transact business
with one another, and ask no ques-
tions. Ones antecedents are not IN
quired into. Though he be gam
bier Of the worst class, he is received
into full communion on the street.
Some of the largest brokerage firms
make their main commissions from
their gambler customers. This is
the case with three prominent bro
kerage firms just south Of the Stock
Exchange, on the same side of Broad
Street. Brokers prefer them to 9TH
er customers, because they make so
little ado over losses. Accustomed
to winning and losing over the gam
ing table, they are not disturbed by
the ups and downs of the stock mar
ket. One of the notorious gamblers
in the city can be seen daily lounging
about the Stock Exchange, convers-
ing with this and that member, who
would not deign to give him the first
sign Of social recognition elsewhere

SsT Some years ago our coal area
was estimate at 1873, 1870 square miles.
At present is computed at more than
100000. Some one has estimated
that the amount estimated in tons is
2,230, 272, 100000. This is equiv
alent to saying that it is mex
hsustible. In England, on the con-
trary, the supply is very limited and
great apprehension is felt that the
supply will give out. Perhaps that
is SO, and if it is, England's manu-
featuring supremacy will yet be
transferred TO this country.

g Vermont has been canvassed
on the question of female suffrage,
and, according to the Burlington Free
Press, nine-tenths of the women
prefer not to vote. So it is probably
with nineteenth of all the women in
the country. The heroines of Sorosis
and the Revolution do not represent
their sex, who are on the whole con-
tent to remain women, and let the
men do the voting, the fighting, the
hod-carrying, the house-building, the
railroad digging, and all. the rest OF
the heavy and disagreeable work
tl,A is naturally theirs to perform.
