The King and Queen of Spain.

From the letters of the Madrid CORE
spol,ients of the English press WE derive
sIln,lry particulars tOuchin" the domestic
habits of the royal pair. The King, il is
said, never drinks anything but water,
and although unpledgcd he is stauncl,
tcctotaler. He rises every day at six and
the Queen at seven. Both occupy some
time in reading the papers of all colors,
including Republican and Carlist. At
ten o'clock they breakfast-never more
than four ytatos, or courses including
fruit. At five, o'clock they dine. and the
dinner consists Ofbut six pidtos. Including
dessert. No more than IN hour mt the
outside is spent over dinner. no matter
who isthere. This simplicity is fitted To
make the court of Madrid model to all
the rest of Europe. The large donation
assigned to the royal household Is expend-
ed, every penny Of it, and more, in Spain
and upon the Spaniards. Out of It the
King Is paying, not only the current en-
pcnscs, hut also the pensions Ofthe house
bold of Queen Isabella, a thing he is ,ln-
der no obligations to do. Hc is also com
pleting the Madrid palace, by the erection
Of a wing included in the original pl:ln,
but never yet constructed. At the same
time he is clfecting works of restoration
ut Aranjuez and the Escurial. His chari-
ties alone average Sl7 500 month. The
whole expenses of his journey in the
southern and eastern provinces last fall,
calculated at $4,000, he betrayed, from
his private purse, unlike his predecessors,
who always had their journeys paid for
at the cost of the State. Thus far he has
shown much tact and good sense, but his
position is very difficult one, and it is rs
yet far from certain that the young Ital-
ian sOverei"us will continue to ecupy
the throne to which they were 50 recently
called.

Debt in the United States.

Ii appears by the statistics of wealth.
taxation and Indebtedness in the United
States made up in the census office at
Washington, that the total assessed
wealth of all the States and Terri
tories i'm the United States is SII.l7S.9S6.
1872, of which S9.9Ii $50, ,S25 is real estate
and s., ,26i .205.907 is personal property
But it is well known that property in
nearly all the States is assessed for taxa
| ton. at rate far below its true value. the
assessed rate ranging from ten to one
hundred per cent below that value. The
true value of the aggregate wealth. rs
estimated in the census office. is more
than double the figures above given, he
ing total of S;'0.06S ,5lS.jW. In other
words. the aggregate wealth Ofthe Cnitc,l
States in $50 was thirty thousand million
dollars. In 1850. it was SIG. 159,6l6.WjS.
| and i'm 1850. it was S7.135, ,7S0.22S. These
| figures show that il was more than
doubled in the ten years from $50 to lS60
and nearly doubled in the ten years from
lS69 to 1870.
The total taxation In the States and
Territories. for 1870. was SlSI .ls0.3l2. of
which S6S.64O .0S9 was for state. S0 .146.-
l15 for county, and SlS4,14 los for city
and town purposes. The same taxation
in 1850 was S9l. .lS6.14G. Ii is interesting
that. while the wealth of the country is
less than double what il was in 1850 the
taxes are more Than treble what they
were in lS10-showing that the burdens
on our wealth multiply more rapidly
than the wealth itself. IL may be noted
also that tlr municipal taxation is nearly
