The courageous manifesto OF the Duke Oh
Mon,pensier, claiming the throne Of Spain for
Alphonso, son of the ex.Q Queen Isabella, Is not
likely to be followed by any tumult among
spauiards or any hostile demonstration what
ever BY the Orleanist duke himself. The young
Alphonso, now fifteen years of age, has been
bethrothed to Mercedes; daughter OF the duke,
who is three years his junior. and this mani
festo of the duke is simply as II he were to say,
.I want that throne for these children when
Amadeus gets tired OF 1t, provided no oth"f
(. gentlemen desires to possess it." IN tho .neau-
time. the ex-Oneen holds mimi" court IN farls,
and the hopeful couple viii Bee many cnanses
in the affairs of Spain before they are old
enough to be married.
When Lord Dalling and Bulwer died lately
he left no child to inherit his honors, and last
autumn his brother, the novelist, lost his ouly
grandson, the con of Owen Meredith; 30 tnat
these eminent brothers seemed. 30 lar as the
ultimate transmission Of their honors went,
TO have obtained them for nothing. However.
a,few weeks, s,ago, Lord Lyttons daughter-ln-
law presented her husband, to whom q
good deal of her fathers ability seems to have
descended, with son and heir. Lord Lytton
inherited his beautiful seat, KnehworLh. from
his mother, sole heiress and representative OF
the ancient Saxon family of Lytton. He is an
admirable man OF business, and aas considera-
bly increased the value OF his property by
skilful management. His books, too, have
been very luc alive.
The crop of "frightiur disasters promises
lalSe this season. On Saturday there was
repetition of the Norwalk, Carr's Rock, New
Hamburg aud Revere disaster on the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada, and about tile sahe
hour Chicago witnessed in the fatal burning OF
two members of an Insurance patrol, in the dis
charge of their duty, q disaster Ws'ch Is al
most overlooked among the horrors OF the day.
San Francisco, q few hours later, was startled
by an explosion which wrecked six buildings,
and on Sunday the imprisoned forces In the
cbemists' shop at New York shattered build
ing and wounded more than twenty persons,
and at midday two train. On Pennsylvania
railroad rushed into each other, killing two
persons and woundiug several others. The
next thing now In order Is q steamboat eXplo-
sion and great loss of life on some one of the
Western rivers.
The New York Tribune publishes statistics
of forty trades now on strike 10 New York
City and vicinity. These statistics are COM
piled from statements supplied principally by
the employers, but portion Of the informa-
tiou has been given or verified by the work
men, who have, however, collected no statis-
tics, and are unable to furnish anything more
than estimates. The Tribune furnishes table
giving the figures in reference to each trade,
and the totals are as follows: Men employed
when shops are full, s3,93s; men who struck,
60, ,O50; men working eight hours, 36, ,O5O; men
working at ten hours, 27,224; men still on
strike, ll.4s3; loss to employers by the strike,
$2,0AS, $50, and loss of wages to men by strike,
$LS74,s60. Assuming the above figures to
represent the losses incurred in strikes Of an
average duration of one year, it is calculated
that the direct loss to the workingmen and
their employers would amount to s4l, 900
II the strike were to continue for one year.
The Jewish Church. press and public In
New York, primarily, and wherever else the
story has run, have been scandalzed by mar
riage between German Jew OF wealth and
good connections and his brothers. widow, a
union which, according to the Hebrew inter-
probation of Mosaic law, !s incestuous and an
objectionable sin. The parties were both rich
and very much In love with each other, but
an obstacle, fixed generations ago by an Or
thodox European Synod, stood in the way and
threatened accommodation If they consum-
mated their VOWS In wedlock. Several Rab
bis refused to unite them, and only when the
bridegroom equivocated and told DR.. Huebsch
that he was cousin of the BRIDES first hus-
band would he solemnze their marriage.
The Jewish Times refers to it as an incestuous
marriage, and severely crlticises DR.. Huebsch
as gully of wilfuI completely with the parties,
or criminal negligence.
-Tichborne, 1.-THE claimant" seems to be
stirring up the provincia!s of England as
much as he lately excited the Londoners with
his celebrated trial. He is making an ex-
tensive tcs~Imong the towns and cities, ex-
hlbitiDg himself and collecting all the funds
he can. The London News says: ''He was
lately received at southampton with music
and cheering; he was serenaded by a brass
baRd playing tunes appropriate to triumphal
entries; and finally, having been deposited in
carriage drawn by four gray horses, jockeyed
by riders in fancy costumes, he was conveyed
In state to his hotel. We are told that the
people filled the balconies and windows, and
crowded for the privilege of touching hands
with him. 1t appears that there is regular
claimants livery, and his body-guard are
decorated with rosettes. The claimant will
be as practiced an orator as Mr.. Onslow be-
fore he has concluded his wanderings, and he
IS bound always 10 speak as well as to exhibit
himself to The friends of his cause. He has
