The populaee of Madrid are profuse in
their expressions ofloyalty and sympathy with
the King and Queen since the late attempt to
assassinate them, aud the feeling of regret for
the occurrence seems to peryade all classes
The people have even carried their enthusiasm
so far as to attempt to lynch the conspirators
now in Jail. Behind all this sympathy, how
ever, there is hostile element which glow
ors darkly in the shadow, and patiently bdes
its time Amadeus is PROFESSIONALLY very
popular with large portion of the Spanish
people, but the number Of those who regard him
with the bitterest hate is not by any means
insignificant, and they do not all belong to the
humble classes A searching inquiry will be
made in regard to the recent attack, and it is
probable that all concerned in it will suffer
death, but their blood will not wash out the
hostility to a monarchy in the breasts of the
radicals, nor allay the bitter feeling of jeal'
ousy in the hearts of disappointed CastiIiau
Sons.

IrA week or two since distinguished
clergyman discussed the question of card
playing, summing up in favor of the practice,
one argument being that it conducei to
thought and quietness. The editor Of re-
lgious newspaper looking back over his god
less days, doesn't agree with. him, and thus
sums up his reasons; "What experience We
have had of cards is opposed to his, Seven
up we have generally found to be prolific o.
furious discussions as to who played the low,
and we never saw silent game of whist. Or
the contrary, as soon as the last trick is taken
one of the defeated players is sure to call GU
to his partner, What in thunder did 20,
play that diamond for? Whether tn,
preacher is right or not, the editor certainl,
makes a strong case, and the majority of tn
experienced can hardly help seeing it in tn
same light,

A long famous newspaper, the La Crosse
Democrat, has finally persisted, because Of
the inability Of its editor to support Greeley
and the utter uselessness of any further ef-
fort to abuse and fight Grant Brick Poneroy
launched this once notorious sheet in 1860,
and its boldness, audaciiy and obscenity in
the abuse of the Republicans obtained for it
a wide circulation among Democrats. It,
proprietor got immensely rich, built fine
newspaper office aud an opera house, and finally
started another Democrat in New York,
when the La Crosse affair became mere side
show The paper in New York did not pros
per, however, and Brick soon ran through all
the money he had made Since the failure
of the metropolitan enterprise, he has endeav-
ored to revivify the La Crosse paper, but it
was no 90. The time has passed when such
sheets can succeed, and now the establishment
has passed into other hands, to be conducted
under another name and upon different
basis.
