Senator Sumner has presented in the
Senate series ofresolutions declaring,
IN substance, that the menacing of
Haytl with the navy, in case OF her
opposition to annexation of San Do
m1ngo, Is violation OF the spirit of
our constitution and institutions, and
contrary to international law, and that
1t should be disavowed by the govern
ment of the United States; that the
order of the President to the naval
officers for the intimidation of Hayti is
\ usurpation of the war power of the

that the employment of our navy to

Smoke Us, Imagination.

There were to be some theatricals Of
Chatsworth some years ago, at which
Queen Victoria was to be present, and
IN which Mark Lemon and others took
part. 4 Colonel Flint was to perform
the very simple part of q buck of the
time of George II, and lean against a
mantel-piece and smoke a large pipe
At rehearsal he commenced pulling
away, when Sir Joseph Paxton, the
architect of the first Crystal Palace,
and manager of the Chatsworth estates,
came running to him, declaring that
he must not attempt to smoke. The
Queen detested tobacco, and would
leave the box. He declared that he was
smoking herbs In q perfectly new pipe;
but Mark Lemon, Mr.. Dickens, and the
company, all insisted that they smelt
tobocco smoke, so he threw away his
pipe and bought a new one, and also
some dried thyme and rose leaves.
These proved just as Objectionable, and
so the smoking on the pipe was dis
pensed with The Colonel bethought
of an imitation of smoke he had seen,
composed of finely woven webs of
cotton supported on rings and spiral
wires. On the evening of the full
dress rehearsal, Mr., Paxton again came
to him and insisted that he should not
smoke and then, on finding out his
mistake, that he should not appear to
smoke. 1t would be iniudicious. Her
Majesty would think she smelt it. He
moreover asserted that the company
assembled had smelt the smoke, no
matter how it was made or whence it
came.
Akenside, says the Detroit Post, in
this anecdote, produced
''the Pleasures of Imagination, " but
it would seem as if the Pains of I'M
agination" might even produce an

No PART OF Spain is less known than
the mountain REGION of Galcia and the
Asturias, the cradle Of the Christian
monarchy. Yet this northwestern
corner is unsurpassed in the beauty of
its scenery, the extreme antiquity of
its churches, and the interest attach
ing to its songs and traditions. The
Gallego language, now spoken only by
the common people, but just missed

stead of Castillian Alfonso the Wise.

account of Orense and its cathedral,
with some specimens of the Gallego
dialect.

Who Murdered Prim T.

The Neue Preussiche Kreutz Zeitung
of February 25th contains a telegram
announcing that the new King of Spain
had caused the arrest of Duke Serrano,
the former regent of Spain, and makes
the following comments:
What reason the King had for taking
this step is not known. Some people
supposed that the arrest of this mighty
man was on well-grounded suspicious
of his being implicated in the murder
of Prim. It IS well known that Prim
was assassinated but very short time
before the King set foot on Spanish
soil. Many then said that the king
maker had left the busy scenes Of life
IN the nick of time for the new King.
and as the mystery which surrounded
the murder of Prim has not vet been
solved, the same people will now
give out that the King had
likewise found out in convenient
time how to get rid of the other king
maker by discovering In him one of the
accomplices in that murder This is al
very fine reasoning, but does not agree
with the favorable reports of the young
Kings loyalty, aud with the assertions
of the English papers, that he was ther
still In incognito in Madrid The Who'll.
business has, however, a very serious
look. Was, perhaps, the last attemp
to assassinate Minister Gorilla onl,
made to get rid Of him as one of the
witnesses or accomplices2 The attemp
failed, and now Serrano has, it is alleg
ed, been found out as the murderer o
Prim. Has the ungrateful favorite o
Queen Isabella met with his well-mer
tied doom! For when all the Spaniard
rose against the Queen he, of all men
should never have joined the rebels

GEN. WASHINGTON WHEN A
YOUNG NAN.

An old journal Of young lady in
Virginia has come TO light. in which
is transcribed letter. written in 1762
showing that the father Of his coun.
try" when young man, was good
deal like other young men:
II must tell you Of our frolic after
we went TO our room. We took il
into our heads to want to eat: we'll,
We had large dish of bacon and
beef; after that . bowl of sago cream,
and after that an apple pie. While
We were eating this in came Mr..
Washington, dressed in Hannah q
short gown and petticoats. and seiz-
ed ine and kissed me twenty times in
spite Of all the resistance I could
make. and then cousin Molly. Han
nah soon followed dressed in his
coat. They joined us in eating the
apple pie, and then got out. After
this We took it into our heads 10
want TO eat some oysters. We got
up, put on our wrappers and ~ent
down into the cellar to get them. -
Do you think. Mr.. Washington did
not follow US and scare Us just to
death? We went up though and
ate our oysters. We slept in the
old lady's room, too. and she sat
laughing fit to kill herself ut us.

now THE PEOPLE CAN SAVE
MONEY.

One hundred bushels Of wheat will
buy in Liverpool seven hundred
pou ds of blankets; in New York
they will exchange for only three
hundred and fifty pounds.
A gold dollar will buy twice as
much salt in England or Spain as in
the United States.
A gold dollar will in London pur-
chase one and . third yards Of tap
estry Brussels carpeting; in New
York it will buy but thres-fourths OF
yard.
In 1859. in New York cit,, one
hundred bushels OF wheat would buy
four thousand sight hundred and

1871 they will purchase but twenty
seven hundred pounds.
