REMNANT OF RoYALTY.-A rare
diplomatic diversion is reported from
Madrid. The Spanish Minister of
State, it appears, invited the diplo-
matte body to visit the Escurial-
the mausoleum of the dead sover-
eigns of Spain. While in that
gloomy abode of past mortality, the
sarcophagus of Charles V was open
ed to the inspection of visitors, and
the royal mummy therein contained
was subjected to their curious scru-
tiny. What they saw was a pinched,
dried-up, strange semblance of hu-
man figure, Drowned and unnatural
IL tight. Everything was awry with
the ex-monarch of Spain and EN-
peror of Germany. His face. or what
was left of it, was weazen othe last
degree; his bare breast. from which
the time worn cerements had mould
cred away. was of the consistency of
ancient parchment. and gave back
the sound as Of a drum, when tap
ped. The mouth had become tri-
angular hole, comic III its geometri-
cal precision but for the fact of its
awful accessories. A piece of faded
gold cloth was bound around the
bony forehead, and on the chin was
semblance of stubby beard. Thus
appeared the Spanish Caesar as he lay
exp lsed to the wondering eyes of
the diplomatic corps, not more po-
tent an object in his present condi-
tion than the meanest hind who in
his days of authority cringed in his
royal presence.

An account of n party given by a
lady at Green Bay, Wisconsin, at
which there were present eighteen
babies. while no less than sixteen
baby carriages were standing in the
yard at one time, moves . Califor-
mian to regret the scarcity of women
in Southern California. and to tell
how he had, in the neighborhood of
Los Angeles, seen fourteen horses
tied TO tire horse rack before the
door of one manageable maifAn.
His first impression was that there
was funeral going on. But small
brother of the besieged young lady
confidentially informed him, with
much giggling and ducking of his
head into his shoulders, that the
crowd were all counting his sister.
Anxious to see the damsel who pos
sessed such powers of attraction, he
was about entering the house, when
he was warned off with the admoni-
tion that if he had not taken up any
land thereabouts it would be well
for him not to interfere with the
rights of actual settlers.

WHAT KILLED ARrEMUs WARD.

i thought / ought not to conclude
an article without letting the reader
know why this bright and genial
spirit is no longer here to add to the
worlds amusement. Well, this Is
the reason: Whenever he lectured,
whether in New England, California
or London, there was sure to he a
knot of young fellows TO gather
round him, go home with him to
his hotel, order supper, and spend
half the night in telling stories and
singing songs. To any man this
will he fatal in time; but when a
nightly carouse follows an evening
performance before an audience, and
is succeeded by railroad journey
the next day, the waste of vitality is
fearfully rapid. Five years of such
life finished poor Charles Brown.
He died in London in 1867. aged 33
years, and was buried at the home of
his childhood in Maine.
He was not deep drinker. He
was not man of strong appetites.
1t was the night wasted in convivial-
ity, which his system needed for
sleep, that sent him to his grave 40
years before his time. For men of
his profession and cast of character,
for all editors, literary men and ar
fists, there is only one safety-teeto-
talism. He should have taken the
advice of stage driver on the plains,
to whom he once offered whisky, and
| commend it strongly to the count
less hosts who see this paper every
week.

Senator Morton. of Indiana, is a
prominent Republican candidate for
the Presidential nomination of 1872.
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune says that his
game is to crowd Grant out of the
nomination. That will not he diff

himself, and it will be lucky If he
does not destroy his party also.

The New York Tribune having
said that "as vet no one suggests any
other Republican candidate than
General Grant. and he is likely to
be again nominated, as he was in
1868, without dissenting voice.
the Cincinnati Commercial Rep
thus spicily observes" Well, then
the Republican party is in a bad
way. We would prefer Horace
Greeley, high tariff and all, to a
second term of Grant. Charles
Sumner would be an improvement.
Why not try tall man ''iust once?
Sumner is person of stature in all
respects. If Sumner is impracti-

A Love Story-Love Powders and Coffee.

The assistant district attorney of Queens

for The past few days, a complicated case,

tragic ending. A few days since. young
man, resident Of WhitestOne, well and in

the Otficel OF the district attorney. Queens

OF some plot: the object was to take his life;
that he was being slowly poisoned: in fact.
was at the present time laboring under the
effects Of a large dose of some nOxious drug,
which seemed to have been di1iused through
his entire system. The appearance of the
young man did not belle his statement, for
evidently some powerful agency seemed
possessed OF his person, tor he was shattered
both in mind and person. One of the pronli-
nent physicians OF the village pronounced
his case Of slow poison, and having ad-
vised with others: Mr. Burnett called in
detective, and deputized him to take the
case in hand. When questioned as to who
bis suspicious connected with the supposed
crime, he unhesitatingly named young
lady living at the home of his parents. The
young girl in question has up to the present
time borne the best character, and is con-
sldered of very retiring disposition. The
young man asserts that the drug has been
administered in his coffee from time to
time; at first it caused him little inconyen-
ience, but later it has taken more control of
him, and he now fears it will finally kill
him. He is of the opinion that the drug is a
species of love powder given him to in
fuence his affection. He saws that the girl
in question is in love with him, but that he
does not reciprOcate the affection The
matter is exciting much comment in the
neighborhOod where the young man resides.

The Memphis and vicksburg Railroad.

From the Vlcksburg Herald, September r.
The advertising columns of the Herald
contain an announcement this morning,
that will carry pleasure to the heart of
every citizen OF Vicksburg, and to our thou
sands of friends dwelling in the beautiful
and fertile valley OF the Deer creek. That
announcement is to the effect that the Mem
phis and Vicksburg Railroad Company is
ready to place ten miles of the road under
contract, and desires to receive bids for the
construction of the work! As soon as
contract is made for this section Of ten
miles. the company will be prepared to let
contracts for an additional section of fifteen
miles. The prOtiles and specifications for
this additional section will be ready at an
early day, and as soon as they can be pre-
pared the letting will be advertised. 1t is
the object Of General Adams and the direc-
tors TO push forward the work on the lower
end OF the line with all practical dispatch
in order that the lowest portion OF the
route may be passed before the winter rains
set in and be entirely secure from any dan
ger OF overflow before the season Of high
water arrives.
The portion of the road now offered to
contractors runs over the lowest ground on
the whole route, and hence the im mportance
of its early construction.
II affords the sincerest pleasure 10 ue
able to assure the friends OF the road that
the president and directors are determined
to push this great work to an early cOmple
ton. They are men who have iD their vO-
no such word as fail, and with the
earnest public support which they have a
right to expect, they will have the cars run
ming from here to Helena in ample time to
bring to this market the crop OF 1873.

New YORK, September 1.-THE Demo.
cratic leaders throughout the State are con-
siderably exercised as to the proceedings Of
affairs here during the week. 1t is said the
great question which will come before the
Democratic State convention will be the
conduct Of the ring faction in this city. 1t
ls thought the country leaders will rebuke
Tammany, and demand a new departure
upon questions of municipal legislative re-
form.
Tweed maintains remarkable reticence
in reference to the situation. Upon being
advised that public opinion seemed to con-
denim Halls action in regard to Connolly.
he appeared to be surprised, and remarked
that he had very. little opportunity Of OBJ
tanning any knowledge Of public opinion.
1t is thought Belmont is anxious to have
COnnOliy's position, should vacancy occur,
as he and his house in Hamburg are largely
interested in the city and county bonds, and
he believes that his acceptance Of the office
would tend to strengthen the credit OF the
city.
The sign board, which has heretofore
borne the name of the 'New York Printing
Company which is said, in the complaint
Ill the injunction suit, to be made up Of
members of the ring, has been painted over,
William Cassidy, editor Of the Albany
Aryus, Samuel j. Tilden, and other proMi-
nant Democrats Of the State. have been in
consultation with Tweed, Connolly and
Others upon the situation today. and it is
rumored tonight that Connolly has consent
ed to resign. Oh condition that he be allowed
to name his successor.
The reports that the contrOllership had
been rendered to General Mcclellan are pro-
nounced false.
Ex-Sheriff O'Brien has issued a circular,
calling for secret meeting at Apollo Hall
tonight, for the purpose OF organizing
Democratic anti-Tammany party. Among
those invited were Judge Le.iwith. Joseph
Blumenthal. ex-Aldermen Tourney and
Walsh. Congressman Roosevelt, and ex-
Judge Barnett. Only the last two mentioned
accepted the invitation. Very few persons
attended the meeting, the proceedings OF
which wera secret
