whole human family. Every barrier that is
broken down, every prejudice that yields,
every dividing force that loses its energy, is
q gain to civilization. For these reasons we
some time since rejoiced in the successes of
Prussia, because they pointed to the unfit
cation of Germany For the same reasons
we encouraged Napoleon to put himself at
these same reasons, when Spain was expe-
riencing her first difficulty in filling
the vacant throne of Isabella,
and when her eyes were momentarily
turned to Portugal we advised Prim and the
rest of them to follow the example of the
English people, who, on the occasion of the
death of Elizabeth, invited King James of
Scotland to London, and thus harmoniously
and happily made Scotland and England one.
We are not ignorant of the fact that it was
difficult then to take our advice. Spain was
not prepared, and Portugal was not ready.
Now, however, after g year and many odd
months, Spain still begs for q king The
princes of Europe will not have the crown.
Spain has come down so low as to
offer the crown to her own subjects, but
even they object Espartero does not care
for it, and Serrano is sick of his empty honors
1t has always been a matter of surprise
to Us that Portugal did not catch the con-
tagion of revolution from her neighbor. 1t
now appears that our surprise was not wholly
without reason. If our news proves to be
correct there has been quiet understanding
between powerful party in Portugal and the
leaders of the Spanish revolution. At all
events this does appear:-Prim has been in
correspondence with Saldanha. This also is
undeniable: the Iberian question, through
the Spanish revolution, has reached point
which offers a solution of all existing trouble
in the Peninsula. .... .-r
The settlement of the Spanish throne ques-
ton is now, in our Judgment, made easy.
The King of Portugal is young and highly
respectable sovereign. With the materials at
his command he has governed wisely and
well Spain cannot do better than offer him
the double crown. Luis can reign as we'll in
Madrid as in Lisbon; and if Portugal becomes
a second Scotland and Lisbon second Edin-
burgh, neither Spain nor Portugal will have
any cause of complaint. The union of the
two kingdoms in the Peninsula has become a
necessity, and a better opportunity than that
wich now promises to offer itself will never
be presented. Divided, the Iberian Penin-
sula is weak. United, Spain and Portugal
would be force in the modern world. If
Spain is wise she will offer her despised
crown to King Luis of Portugal

American commander-in-chief. The charges
against Colonel Bailey are said to be brought
under the category Of conduct unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman" It is pity that
King David had not thought of applying this
sort of discipline to the eminent Hebrew
soldier, Uriah, whose prurient and provoking
interference with the naturally sportive and
gracious dispositions of his wife, Bathsheba,
gave SO much annoyance to his sovereign.
The coarser and more violent expedient
adopted in that case, of despatching the med"
dlesome and uxorious general to the fore
front of battle in which he was slain, only
served in the end to invest him with ficti-
tious aureole of martyrdom, and to deprive
his poor, prosecuted wife of the sympathies
to which, as we now perceive, she was in
truth entitled.
We earnestly advise Mrs. Cady Stanton and
Miss Anthony, and the rest of our fair
friends who lead the future of their sex, to
look 10 it lest they find themselves suddenly
supplanted in the confidence and the esteem
of their charming sisters by this artful
chivalry of the President. The enthusiasm
which, it must be confessed, the right of suf-
frage has thus far failed to elicit from the
female bosom will surely be aroused by a
grand movement in behalf of the right of
Irritation. Let it once be clearly understood
that Grant means to proclaim this right and
enforce it by the bayonet, and neither con-
stitutional restrictions, nor party conventions,
nor the united opposition of all the married
men in America, will avail to prevent his
being carried in triumph, upon swelling
tide of irrepressible crinoline fringed with
flashing epaulette, into the throne of gyno-
cratic despotism more formidable than the
empire of the Caesars or the Napoleons.

WESTON'S WALK.

From the N. Y. World
Weston, the pedestrian whose previous pro-
fessional feats have mainly been in DEMON
strating, to the dissatisfaction of everybody
except himself, that but for peculiar inisad-
ventures he might, could, would, or should
have performed the things he had undertaken
to do, and of whom it may thence be said in
particular. as it has been said of us all
generally, that he walks by faith and not by
sight, has now, after many defeats upon the
road, which he has converted into victories on
paper, engaged to attempt the achievement,
which really is difficult one, of walking 100
miles within twenty-five hours.
1t is not likely that great concourse will
be attracted by this announcement. The
person who, not being especially moved
thereto by lust of filthy lucre, cares to sit
awake for twenty-five hours to see another
person walking, is even rarer than the person
whom the love of notoriety or money can
seduce into an attempt to walk during that
period; and certainly no person can derive

THE SPANISH THRONE-A PROSPECT
OF A SETTLEMENT AT LAST.


Recent news regarding the Iberian PENN
sula is full of interest. A cable despatch
from Paris has it that letters from Madrid
confirm previous reports to the effect that
Prim and Saldanha have an understanding
and that the understanding points to an
Iberian union.
Such is the news. If the news is true it is
good. If it is not true we must still say it is
the best thing that can possibly happen on
the Peninsula. We have nc means OF know
ing what is the value of an arrangement come
to by Prim and SaldaDha, or whether there is
any such arrangement. This, however, we
do know: that an Iberian union is the one
thing most likely to settle the Spanish throne
question and to give peace and prosperity to
the Peninsula. For time it was our opinion
that Napoleon might do well to place himself
at the head of the Latin races. If Italy and
Spain and Portugal could agree to make up
their owp differences and then jointly to make
up thei differences with France, no better
arrangement than grand Latin union could
be conceived. The march of events has not
encouraged us in the belief that any such
Inion is Immediately practicable. Mexico,
somehow, spoiled our dream. A Latin union
for the present is not practicable. In the
interests of humanity and civilization, in the
high sense, it is not even desirable But an
Iberian union, though lesser triumph,
points in the same high direction. We have
no choice, therefore, but to give it our hearty
encouragement. Such union would be a
good thing for Spain, good thing for Portu-
gal, a good thing for the so-called Latin
races, and good thing for modern progress.
If a union of the whole Latin family is not
now possible, union of certain subordinate
sections of that family is at least hopeful and
full of encouragement.
We look upon the present union movement
in the Iberian Peninsula from the point OF
view thus indicated. We wish to see the
peoples uniting. We wish to see national
barriers breaking down, prejudices yielding
and languages eeasing to act as dividing
forces. We wish to see not only the unior
of nations, but of races, and, indeed, of th'

GRANT ON THE RIGHT OF FLIRTA-
TION r.-.
Fronl the n. Y. World.

F~ons the N. Y. World rl,.. . l....s -.
President Grant, it seems, has ordered
court-martial to be held upon an officer of
the army by way of compelling him, if one
may talk horse" on such theme, to give
his skittish wife ''her head. The officer in
question, Colonel Bailey by name. is accused
of being neither young nor good-looking,
while his wife is described as an angel OF
loveliness, gifted with fine natural genius
for ''fiirtation." OF course, no intelligent
mind can refuse its sympathy to the wife in
such case. Nor can we fail to admire the
beautiful elasticity of martial law, potent
alike to define the political rights of Cuffy in
the swamps of Florida and to vindicate the
privileges of lovely woman in the ball
rooms of Washington. How melancholy it
is to reflect that the sad fate of that inte-
resting young lady of Nova Scotia, whom all
the world for many years has mourned in
pensive song, might have been averted had
she but lived in our own happy time and
happier land. The

Who lived In winter quarters
and by whose unprincipled desertion the un-
fortunate Miss Bailey was driven in moment
