sPAIN.-Regent Serrano ia reported to have
no objections to the formation Of Republican
government in this distracted and demoralized
monarchy, whose throne and crown has for
long time been hunting for an occupant and
wearer, much the same as an freshman once de.
scribed the first locomotive he ever saw M be-
ing "a shame boat hunting for wather. be
)abers." As no one who will gil the bill can
DE- found. Mr.. Regent Serrano begins to favor
The establishment of a Republic on the ruins of
the monarchy, and apparently the acquiescence
OF General Prim. if obtained will decide the
question. As by the refusal OF the T. q. Gov.
eminent to recognize the belligerent rights
and status of the Cubans, and giving material
aid and comfort to Spain, Cuba still virtually
belongs to Spain; the question arises who does
Spain belong to, and what kind Of a govern.
ment exists there

SLEEP AND HABrT.-Sleep is much modified
by habit Thus an old artillery man often en-
joys tranquil repose when the cannon are thun-
dering around him; an engineer has been
known to fall asleep within boiler while his
fellows were beating it out on the outside with
their ponderous banners; and the repose OF u
miller is nowise accommodated by the noise of
his mill. Sound ceases TO be stimulus 10
such men, aud what would have proved IN in
expressible annoyance to others is by them al.
together UNDECIDED Ii is common for carriers
To sleep on horseback and coachmen on their
coaches, During the battle of the Nile some
boys were SO exhausted that they fell asleep on
the deck amid the deatening thunder oi that
dreadful engagement. Nay. silence itself may
become q stimulus while sound ceases 10 be- so.
Thus, u miller being very i'll. his mill was
stopped that he might not be disturbed BY its
noise; but this. so far from inducing sleep, pro.
vented ii altogether-and il did not take place
until the mill was set agoiag again. For the
same reason the manager UT some vast iron
works, who slept close TO them, amid the In.
cessant din Of hammers, FORCES and furnaces
would awake ii there was any cessation OF the
noise during night To carry the illustration
still further, il has been noticed that person
who falls asleep near a church, the bell of
which was ringing. may hear the sound during
The whole OF his slumber, and be nevertheless
aroused by its sudden cessation. Here the
sleep must have been imperfect, otherwise he
would have been insensible TO the sound The
noise OF the bell was no stimulus; il was it's
cessation which, by breaking the monotonv.
became so. and caused To awake.-HdcHish.

INEQUALITIES OF TAXATION.


We take the following forcible illustration
of the unequal and unfair operation OF the
Radical tariff system from the San Francis
co Examiner of late date:
A marked illustration of the unequal and in-
iquitOus operation of our tariff system is furn-
ished i'm the article Of salt. The fishermen OF
Massachusetts are allowed to use salt tree OF
all duties During the third quarter of 1869
the fishermen of Gloucester district, in Massa-
chusetts, withdrew from bond without the pay,
ment of duties S,622776 pounds of salt, the
import value of which was $9.307. The regu.
lar duty on that would have been $14 ,440 90,
gold. For the salt which cost Massachusetts
fishermen only S9.307, would have cost the
pork packers and farmers of the West S2s,-
$50 "a, as follows:
Invoice cost OF salt, SUI w
Duty on same in gold, .14.440 %
Premium on the gold duty, 4.S32 70
Ioun. .................S- -
We, OF California, have to pay 200 per cent.
adj ral0rem duty on Carmen Island salt. The
practical working of the system is strikingly
illustrated by statement of Commissioner
Wells, "that il the Government were to exact
its duties like tithes. in kind it would require
that each vessel arriving in the United States
with cargo of foreign salt should be accom-
panied by two other vessels, each of equal ca
pacity with the first. to convey the duty"
This Is protection with vengeance.

A SMOKY INCIDENT.
Being the Adventures of a Gentle
forts TO smoke In the Theater.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, sth.l

FROM tue tincinhhti Lnquttrs oth.I
Last evening an individual who has a
passion for an indulgence in the luxu-
rious weed entered the parquette Of
Wood Theater, and, after comfortably
seating himself, lit cigar, and com
menced enjoying it with that indolent
ease so becoming the Oriental. Wreaths
of smoke from his Havana curled grace
fully over his head, and lazily ascended
to the dome. The smoker soon became
lost in devotion to his cigar, and to the
brilliant assembly that was fast filling
the house.
Finally he became the object Of the
entire assembly, but so busily engaged
were the ushers in seating the crowd that
was pouring in that he was unnoticed by
them. AT last gentleman observing
Manager Macauley in the lobby convers-
ng with Mr.. Florence, approached him
and queried:
" Mr.. Macauley, do you keep variety
house?p
"a what, sir2" replied the Manager,
eyeing his interrogator with surprise.
" A variety house" -"
"Why do you ask me such a question
as that, sir"
Simply because notice smoking in
the parquette."
"Where2" and the managers eyes
looked as big as saucers.
"Why, there and pointing to the
identical smoker who was still luxuriat-
ing in his weed, the manager was also en-
abled to observe the individual who
dared smoke in his theater
Not standing upon the order of going,
the stately Macauley strobe with rapid
steps till he was by the side of the
smoker, and then, with one of those
quiet smiles so full of meaning illumin-
ating his face, he very politely-frigidly
politely-asked the gentleman if he
would have the kindness to desist from
smoking, as the fragrance of his cigar
might possibly be offensive to the ladies,
to say nothing of the gentlemen.
The smoker looked up out of his
dreamy eyes and, without feeling greatly
disturbed, carelessly knocked the ashes
from his cigar, looked down at it, then
taking another glance at the manager
replied, IF you desire it, Of course"
and the cigar then fell to the floor and
was crushed under the smokers heel.
otis well, was the answer, and then
the manager returned to the lobby with
a shade less serenity on his face than
usual, and the smoker to perusal Of
the programme. That is ALL

lowed the daughter to this country, and
he had recently taken up his residence
in Ohio, and had there recently died,
leaving will bequeathing all his prop
erty, valued at $4,000, TO his erring
daughter. Conscience, that inward
monitor, had softened his heart, and in
stead of cutting his daughter off with
shilling, he left his valuable property to
her If living to her heirs if dead.
The mother, with this unexpected turn
of fortunes wheel, at once proceeded to
Bridgeton, to reclaim her children who
had, as we before said, been bound out
on farms. Legal application has been
made to cancel the terms of indenture,
and we have no doubt that the mother
will have her heart further gladdened by
a release of her children.
What we have written are facts, hav-
ing received them from one fully con-
versant with the misfortunes and for
tunes of the mother. = Cambridge Press.

A wOMAN'S STRATAGEM.
Sharp Practice of Husband-Me
is Outwitted and HumbIed by His
Wife

The Providence Press, of a recent
date, says:
Something like a year since well
known pair of this city decided to part
company, and each to leave the other to
his or her most desired pursuit. The
dissolution was brought about by the fre-
quently occurring fact that the course of
their married life, instead of flowing
along like summer stream, whose pol
ished surface is disturbed only here and
there by gentle ripple, was, on the con-
trary, subjected to frequent storms and
tempestuous squalls, which rendered ex-
istence in unison burden and tor
ment.
Such being the case, they mutually
agreed TO part company and each to
paddle an individual canoe over such
water as was preferable Each promised
to leave the other in undisturbed posses
sion of whatever property belonged to
them individually, and with this con-
tract they parted, the husband remaining
in Providence, and the wife going to the
home of her sister in a country town,
something less than a hundred miles
from this city. Thus year passed on
and neither saw or heard anything of
the other During this period fortune
smiled upon the wife, who is a woman
richly endowed with natures charms,
and upon whom beauty has stamped its
coveted impress.
She amassed quite comfortable guam
tity of the worlds riches, and desiring
to enjoy them more extensively she pur-
chased horse and buggy, with which
she drove about in high style and com
fort The husband, hearing last week of
the worldly prosperity of the former
partner of his joys and the creator Of
his sorrows, determined to pay her
visit, and in his secret thought resolved
to become possessor Of the aforesaid
stylish turnout. Taking a journey into
those parts, he watched his chances and
succeeded in stealing the team, and on
Thursday morning started home in high
glee, driving the coveted prize.
The woman, discovering the strategic
movement, took the first train for Provi-
dence, arriving here about the same
time that her lord drove into the town
with the horse and buggy.
On inquiry she found that the law
would not convict her husband for steal
ing, recognizing, as it did, the precept,
what is mine is thine, and what is thine
is mine" She then put her woman's
wit at work to discover some way to Sc
cure icome up-panae' With her hus-
band At length she discovered that he
also owned horse and buggy, and i'm
mediately she resolved upon her course
Finding where he kept the team, she
succeeded, all unaided, in securing it,
and away she went, whittier her husband
is in vain trying to ascertain. For great
was his astonishment and chagrln on
Saturday, returning from his day. EN-.
ployment, which he had made light and
pleasant by contemplating his own
shrewdness, to find that the wife of his
bosom had completely outgeneraled him,
and that too, with his own weapons.

we have Just heard of remarkable
and romantic change Of fortune in the

seemed 20 be assured.
"All's well that saGs we'll" but it did
not prove so to this young couple, who
had been blessed with a son, for the
father had bacame dissipated and ne
