rHE SPANS ID ESCURIAL.

This was the most celebrated palace of
Sp1il. In is mausoleum slept the long
line Of Spanish Kings from Charles V.
don. Here were the treasured ashes of
p ,ss: here were collected works of art 9,
IL relics OF the saints, twenty thousand
rare volumes of Spanish literature, and
fouE thousand rare MSS. written in the
Greek, the Hebrew and Arabic language.
The palace was built during the 18th
century by Philip l., in the fulfllment
OF = VOW that he would build the most
niaZ niiicent monastery in the world if St.
lawrence would give him victory over the
French in the battle of st. Quentin.
Twenty-one years labor and sum equal
10 fifteen million dollars were expended in
completing the work. The church under
wh'ch The mausoleum was constructed by
Philip ". was triumph of architectural
skin. Porphyry and marble Of the
richest description encrusted the walls,
and OF either side were placed statue
por'ra OF kings and queens. Benvenuto
Collins marble "ChTist," presented to
Phillip by the Duke OF Tuscany, aud which
is sic 30 have been brought from BARGE
Iona on mems shoulders, was there and
must have been mu lated by the confa-
grafton, The less Of so mary venerable

rian. The destruction of Warwick Castle
by The same devoUring clement occurred
bat few months since, and the present
loss Of Escurial Castle viii be even more
DE- ply regetted, because it contained a rich
e. fllc:lOD of valuable relics.

A SPANISH BLUEBEARD

AT Grenada, in Spain, in an old house
which had tumbled into ruins and has
been for some months past undergoing re-
construction, the workmen have come I'D
on subterranean passage 1Sj feet long by
u feet wide, carved ont Of the solid rock.
and at the end Of which were found seven
female skeletons. By medical examination
1t has been proved that these skeletons have
occupied that position not less than forty
nor more than sixty years. But by a com
parison of dates it has been found that the
house at that time belonged to "a wealthy
merchant, a Portuguese Jew named Isaac
Pedro Corne, whose sons are still living
and occupying high financial positions in
America. This merchant died at Vera
Cruz in 1S49 or 1850 at the age of seventy
one years, being at the time OF his death
the widOwer Of his ninth wife. The hor-
rible question has therefore been raised in
Grenada whether these skeletons are not the
silent witnesses Of Of some dreadful crimes.
and whether this mysterious cavern may
not have been the dungeon of q Bluebeard
more terrible than any ever read in story.
The discovery loses none of its sensational
effect by having been made among an ex-
citable and passionate population ike that
Of the South of Spain.

The work of colonizing the negroes of
this district in Pennsylvania for the 0c-
tober election goes on briskiy. Upwards
of one hundred negroes left last night on
the 1870 train for that State. These de-
partures are so extensive as TO imperil the
chances OF the regular Grant ticket In this
district. Notwithstanding these arrange
ments for fraud, it is known here that the
Radical leaders in Pennsylvania are dis
mayed at the prospect before them. One OF
the most prominent has written to friend
here telling him to hedge all his bets on
HaTtranft. 1t is noticed as an indication
OF the result that the sporting men are
now generally betting on Buckalew's cleo

this way. In order TO counteract this inn
preston, reports have been put in circula.

stamps on Legal Documents.

The new law concerning stamp taxes
went into effect Oct. L. 1t is explained for
the benefit Of the business public, that here
after n stamps will be required on promis-
sOTy notes, time drafts, bonds, certificates,
contracts and custom-house papers, but
will only be retained on bank checks, drafts
or orders. In this latter connection the
Internal Revenue Department has lately
decided that a stamp is required
on inland bills Of EXCHANGE, if pay
able on sight or on demand: also, on
al orders at sight on private individ-
uais fer any sum over ten dollars. This
decision has however, been questioned,
and WI be appealed to the Secretary of
tire Trna suTy. The Department also de-
cides ;hat on and after Oct. l, no stamps

change. The only government stamps

sPRE MILITARY RING

We hear much nowadays from those
who are endeavering TO disorganize the
D emocratic party, of ''the Military Ring >
1t seems to be an indefinable corporation or
concern. Who it is, or what it is, we have
never yet been able to learn. But as Mr..
Greeley in the North and Gen. Cheatham
in the South are struggling for peace and
reconciliation, as Mr.. Greeley has pointed
to his reconciliation record without dispar-
agement, we call attention to the proceedings
which we publish to-day of tie Confederate
Generals of Tennessee, in 1868, in favor Of
a reunited and restored Union. 1t will be
seen that Gov. Brown, now Democratic
nominee for Governor, and Gen. Cheat
ham, now Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from the State at large, were both
members of the Military Conference which
assembled here in 1868, and declared then
for the maintenance OF peace and order.
As it was then, so is is now: Peace and re-
Cancellation, and no assailment of any be-
cause of his Southern or Northern procliv-
lilies

A COwHIDINa sEsSAT.oS.

Yesterday afternoon the people who hap
pened to De on Sixth street, between Vine
and Race, were treated to a sensation in
the shape Of q eowhiding affair between a
man and woman, in which both parties
got their share of school-boy punishment.
The parties to the affair were Mrs. N. Brit
ton, a lady who recently procured divorce
from her husband for cruelty and neglect.
and George Britton, a brother Of
the aforesaid husband. The assault
was first made by the lady in the ease, who,
upon meeting her antagonist, drew a raw
hide from unC er her cloak and administer
ed several vigorous cuts on hi shoulders
and face. The man, as soon as he realized
what was going on, snatched the weapon
from her hands and returned the blows
with still greater vigor on her womanly
form. Things were progressing in this way
when the police came up, and marched
Mrs. Britton of to the stationhouse. The
difficulty, of course, had its igin in the
divorce case.-Cincinnati Enquirer, Oct. 2.

THE great immigration of Germans to
this country continues TO attract the angry
attention Of the Government at Berlin. In.
deed, il is doubtless in great measure due
TO the threats of that Government that the
immigration movement increases in proper
lions almost daily. In connection with this
subject it Is interesting to know that letters
from Hanover, Saxony, Frankfort, and
from the Duchy of Nassau, mention a de-
cided feeling of irritation which day by day
becomes more manifest against the exclu-
siyely Prussian administration Of affairs
imposed upon all those countries from Ber-
lin. The post offices, the telegraphs,
the police, the railroads, and inspections Of
all KINDS, are in The hands of Prussian ofli-
Gals. Complaints sent to Berlin are unheed-
ed, and il is stated on good authority that
the next session ofthe Geman Parliament
will re-echo with demands for change in
this respect. The proclamation of the En-
pire under the hated Prussian aupices
seems far from successful in securing that
solidarity among the German peoples which,
at the time of the close of tie Franco Ger
man war, whenthe Germans were flushed
with success against common foe, seemed
at hand.

BEGINNING OF A FORTUNE.

Mr.. John Jacob Aston said it was COM
paratively easy to make million dollars
after getting the first thousand. The hard
rub was in getting started. Mr.. Isaac Rich
died recently in Boston worth nearly two
million dollars, made in the fish business.
He used often to tell how he climbed the
first round in the ladder to wealth. He
was mere boy, selling fish from a hand
cart. Mr.. Boyden, the keeper of the IRE
mont House in Boston, liking his bright
face and quick business habits, asked him
one day why he did not keep salmon. 81
haven't money enough to buy them," was
the answer. Chow much money will it
take ?" "Two hundred dollars" "I'n
lend you money; buy up the next boat
load ~ The ambitious lad boarding the
next salmon boat in his little dOry, bargained
for the whole load, and when they ques-
toned his ability TO pay, showed the ready
money. He made handsome sum by the
venture, and soon paid back his loan, and
began at once the wholesale business, in
which he made his large fortune.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 3.-Gen. Butler in

mand at New Orleans, and referred to a
remark made by ex-senator Hendricks in

Mr.. Butler said: | want to lay two or

COL. CnLYAR

Wepublish this morning card from Col.
Colyar, withdrawing from the canvass. 1t
came at SO late an hour that we only had
time to see that he shoots a Parthian ar
row as he leaves the field. He pretends to
think that secession is alive and kicking,
and that unless something is done, and
that right soon, Tennessee will be out OF
the Union, and as Richard the Third
might say, SIN the deep bosom of the ocear-
buried" We apprehend no such terrible
result, and there ore shall take our ap.

The American and British mixed claims
Convention were in continuous session to-
day from IL a. m, to 6 p. m, and transac-
ted large amount of business. After
closing proofs in large number of cases, on
the part of claimants, and extending time
in others, the following cases were disposed
Of:
In the claim of Charles Mayhem vs.
United States, No. III, on motion
of the United States Counsel to dis
miss, decision was rendered as follows:
The acts complained of not having been
committed between April Is, 1861 and
April 8, 1866, the memorial is dimisssed for
want of jurisdiction.
Several other claims were disallowed on
demurrer.
Wife Hurder.

DefauItiDg Army PaSrnaSter.
One of the latest embellishments made
public is that of Maj. Henry B. Reese, Pay
master in the regular army, but the amount
has not been given. Maj. Reese is a broth
er-in-law of Senator Jonn Sherman. A
court martial has been ordered to meet in

occurred.
The Southern Claims Commission
have just collected from the Rebel archives
full list Of those in Virginia who voted
for the ordinance of Secession in May, 1861.
When the claimants present their claims in
the future, the question of loyalty can be
pretty soon determined by examining the
county poll list, and seeing on which side
of the question the claimants name is
found. This will apply equally well to-
ward those who already have claims filed
before the Commission. Hundreds have
already dropped their claims, their disloy-
atty having been discovered by this means.

the keys are Of mother Of pearl. There

this omission, an arrangement exists,
where, by turning wheel, after the fash

out such tunes as "God Save the Queen"
the "Miserere," from ''Trovatore;" s'Rose

strongly resembles the "Marseillsise."
