SPAIN.
The New Departure.

New YORK, Aug. 9 A letter from
Madrid, July &c, says: ''The ministry
have prescribed themselves to the cortes,
and announced the following programme:
The ministers bind themselves to the most
absolute respect 10 the constitution and
the laws and rights sanctioned By it.
They will maintain public order st any
price. They will endeavor to establish
harmony between the church and state,
without renouIcing any of the reforms
introduced by the constituent cortes.
They will lay before the cortes at the
first meeting budget balancing the rev.
enue with the expenditure; they will, to
the best of their abilities, live on the best
terms with all foreign nations, especially
with Portugal and the republics of Span
ish origin. Finally, they will maintain
the integrity of the Spanish territory, and
spare no sacrifice to put an end TO the in
surrection in Cuba, which, happily, is
already almost entirely subdued.
The programme of the new ministry
has been received with applause by the
cortes, which afterwaId agreed to an ad-
iournment to the LIST of October.
MADRID, Aug. The ImpaI cial news
paper authoritively denies any intention
of the government to impose a tax upon
the Spanish bonds held by persons out
side of the kingdom.
M. NJ. Guizot and La Bould, and a
number of others, have memorialized
the King of Spain in favor OF the aboli-
ton of slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico.
MADRID, August 10.-King Amadeus
will, at very early day, visit Valadolid
and the eastern provinces of Spain.
Venezuela and the Cuban Rebels.
MADRID, Aug. 1.-THE report that
the Spanish Government will send fleet
to the Venezuelan ports to exact repara-
ton for the injury sustained by Spain,
from the omission of the Government of
Venezuela to prevent the departure of the
Quessds expedition for Cuba, is authori-
tatively denied. The act of the filibus-
tiers are to be instead the object of diplo.
matte protests.

''CARRIE" writes from Brooklyn to say
that it is impossible for her to be a SEN
sible girl, because the men won't permit
her to be so. If upon a moonlight night
she wishes to talk about the stars, the
male idiots about her compare the stars
with her eyes. If she speaks of a rose as
possessing beautiful hue, they say her
cheek rivals it. Should she venture to
call attention to the melody of the night
birds song, these monkey-men tell her
that her voice is sweeter music. In
view of this state of affairs, Carrie
asks US how she can be anything else
than a fool. We reply she cannot.

ACCORDING TO q late writer, sunstroke
is due to the action of light upon the
brain exerted through the eye, and not,
as generally believed, to an elevation of
temperature; and it is asserted that, if the
eye be properly shaded from the glare of
the sun, any unusual precaution in the
way of protecting the head and back of
the neck may be dispensed with.

BUFFALO, Aug. 1.-THE sixth annual
meeting on the Buffalo Driving Park
closed today, Goldsmith Maid making
the fastest time On record in three straight
heats by one fourth of second. Over
20, 900 persons were on the ground. While
the majority of the crowd were drawn in
anticipation of a close contest between
Goldsmith Maid, Lucy and American
Girl, and were amply repaid in the result;
yet contrary to all expectation, the 2:40
race proved equally interesting and ex-
citing, Judge Brigham, q comparatively
new horse, making q splendid record,
winning the race in four heat, mskingt the
first quarter in 81 seconds, and the half
mile in LOG. Immediately after winning
the race, the owner of Judge Brigham
was sent for, and the horse was bought
by George C. Hale for $50, 200 for Jay
Gould. The purchaser says 800, 900
will not buy him to-day. Judge Brigham
is bay stallion, eight years old, by Rys-
dicks Hambletonian, out of Lady Sand
ford by American Star.
The first race called was the 2 40.
Thirteen horses were entered, but only
six started, Denmark, Logan, Huntress,
Long Branch, Sentinel, Ed Higgins and
Clara being drawn. Over three quarters
of an hour was lost in scoring before the
horses got good send off. Judge Full
lertOn took the lead and kept it round
the track in the first heat hard pressed by
Brigham. The following heats were won
by Brigham. The race was highly inter-
estIng and intensely exciting. After
leaving the half mile pole on the last
heat Brigham broke, Fullerton shooting
twenty lengths ahead, but Brigham come
down to trot, overlook Fullerton at the
three-qusrter post, and came in half
length ahead.
SUMMARY.

The great race of the day was trotted
alternately with the 2:40 race. The
three heats of Goldsmith Maid were trot-
ted without skip or break until the last
heat, when she was crowded from the
beginning to the end by Lucy, who laps
ped her throughout, after one of the
most closely contested heats ever witness
ed; then she only made two quick breaks,
one at the start, and one on the home
stretch.
On coming to the start on the second
heat, the left rein of Goldsmith broke,
and the mare started to run, when Budd
DOble, her driver, performed an aston
ishing feat, by seizrng the back strap,
jumping astrids the mares back, seizing
the check rein, and bringing her to stand-
still before she had gone many lengths
beyond the judges stand. This Incl
dent won additional honOrs for Doble and
his thoroughbred animal.

The Attitude Of Austrip.


Its fact of some significance that in the

much exposed tothe immediate effects OF the
late continental endorsement as is the
Austrian Empire, should have ventured
upon so decided step as the appointment
oi a new Ministry, whose policy all the
shrewdest observers CONCUR in predicting
will be essentially anti-German. t'Czech
sand Ultramontane! exclaims the Vienna
Neue Freie Presse, 'such is the fundamen-
"tal. character OF the new government The
Wanderer calls the appointment nothing
less than ''calamity," and finds the kind
est thing it can say in the satirical remark
that the new statesmen "rejoice so far in a
STAINLESS political past, for the world knows $
"nothing Of their earlier political activity
It is deplored that, for the first time IN Aus
trian annals. s'culLure and education nave
..hoon entrusted to non-German Minister"
and the Algemeine Ze,ta''g asserts. boldly
that only the friends of France are in har-
mony with the new Cabinet. It seems very
evident that great blunder has been COM
mitted. Austria cannot afford, politically, to
remain at present out Of harmony with the
Pam German enthusiasm which the late war
has evoked land the appointment OF hos
tile and unrepresentative Ministry may dc
much to precipitate a catastrophe which
probably could, under no circumstances be
long averted.
