Trouble In Spnin.

The irrepressible Carlists are again
threatening the peace and good order of
Spain. Late Madrid dispatches report
that general rising of the followers of
Don Carlos is momentarily expected.
King Amadeus has certainly not found
in his new throne a bed of roses. He
expresses his determination to sustain
his Government and suppress every at
tempted insurrection. SO long as he is
convinced that his rule is desired by a
majority OF the people, but seems to be
perfectly willing to resign his royal
honors, II such course accord with the
wishes of his self-made subjects. This
profession OF Difference to the popular
will. whether sincere or only pretended,
seems to have settled Amadeus more
securely on his throne than any other
line of policy would probably have done.
The spectacle of monarch avowedly
holding the reins of government only by
the express request and desire of the
people, is truly novel one. Amadeus,
it would appear, is even more of demo-
cratic, or peoples ruler. than the Presi-
dent of the United States. The latter
functionary considers himself as right
fully holding his seat for the length OF
his term, however the popular will may
huctuate in regard to him. At least, We
have never heard of one resigning yet,
or expressing his willingness to resign.
Amadeus, on the other hand, processes
his readiness to abdicate at any moment
that he is assured that his presence is no
longer demanded. Spain seems, like her
American offspring, Mexico, to be af-
fiicted with q choice case of revolution
and unrest. From the days of the in
QUESTION to the present time, she has
enjoyed scarcely day of undisturbed
peace, and this constant internecine
civil strife has reduced mighty nation
that once ranked among the first powers
OF Europe to the level of the most insig-
niicant. 1t is pity that Spain did not
have some good and free Government
like the United States to throw the man
tie of protection over her, as the Herald
is so continually urging Grant to do in
the case of Mexico. a little Cuban pro-
tectorate, at least, might not be amiss
for Uncle Sam.

Instant insanity" is the latest phrase
invented by the lawyers and doctors to
denote that form of supposed mental
hallncination which prompts one human
being to take the life OF another. Fanny
Hyde, who killed Mr.. Watson in Brock.
lyn few weeks since, is now declared
to have been victim of this convenient
form OF lunacy, which lasts only while
the killing fit is on. Twas very unfor-
tuuatc for Watson in this case; but then,
as the New York Star says, she's dead,
and, of course, wants no sympathy"

DEATH OF Mrs. HowELL.-Death truly
sits upon every breeze and turks in every
flower. Mrs. Ellen Howell, an estima-
bio lady of this city, died, on yesterday,
OF pneumonia. In 1861 she was loft n
widow, by the death OF her protector,
who was wounded and afterwards died in
the Confederate service. Since then she
has supported herself and little children
with her needle, and enjoyed tho esteem
of all. -GreenciNe Enterprise.

a STOLEN WILL tho winter,
Mr.. Harvey G. Law, a wealthy resident
of Brooklyn, Z. D., died at his resi-
dence, 2l5 South Ninth street. leaving
nm estate valued ut from $780, 600 to
100000. At the time of his death, Mr..
Laws only daughter was in Europe on
wedding tour. On hearing of tho
death, tho bridal party returned and
took up their residence in the Law man
sion. On Tuesday evening last, at about
Z O'Clock, while the afflicted family were
dining in tho basement, their coiored
servant heard a noise OH the second
story, and he went to ascertain the cnnse
Of it. lie had no sooner reached tho
locality OF the noise. than a person,
dressed in tho costume OF the devil-as
represented on the stagc-presepted Il
pistol to his head. This unexpected de-
monstration quite demoralized the poor
servant, and he uttered no alarm. The
Satanic apparition then descended to
the basement, protrudcd his horns into
the dining room, terrifying those Mt din
ncr. Having succeeded in accomplish
ing these feats, he left the mansion un-
molestcd. After tho fends departure,
tho family found that Mr.. Laws will, a
gold watch, other articles of jeweiry,
and papers of great value, were missing.
And thereby hangs tale.

The Value of n Newspaper.

The following is the experience of a
mechanic concerning the benefits OF a
newspaper:
Ten years ago lived in a town in In
diana. On returning home one night,
for am a carpenter by trade, | saw a
little girl leave my door, and asked
my wife who she was. She said Mrs.
Harris had sent her after their paper,
which my wife had borrowed. AS we
sat down to tea my wife said TO me, by
my name;
IL wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; it Is so much comfort to
me when you are away from home
81 would like to do so, said |, "but
you know | owe payment on the
house and lot. 1t will be all | can do
to meet it"
She replied IF you will take this
paper, will sew for the tailor TO pay
for it.
subscribed for the paper it came
in due time to the shop. While resting
one noon and looking over 1t, | saw an
advertisement of the County Commits
sioners to let a bridge that was TO be
built. put in a bid for the bridge, and
the lob was awarded to me, on which |
cleared $500, which enabled me TO pay
for my house and lot easily, and for the
| newspaper. If had not subscribed for
the newspaper would not have known
anything about the contract, and could
not have met my payment on my house

He put out his hands.
"Come to you! Not for all the
world will | ever touch your hand, ever
see your face again
The words broke from her in pas.
sionate cry, and when it was ended, she
fled sobbing TO her chamber.
All that night he lay awake, mar
shaling arguments, thinking how he
would entreat her, how TO set his offense
in its least bad light. lie had no idea
of giving her up. But he knew he
should have a hard fight for il. He
knew, too, that he had fallen in the
eyes of the woman he loved, and that
was poignant pain.
Next morning he went down stairs,
heavy-eyed and miserable. On enter
ing the breakfast room an ominous fear
smo him.
Kitty was alone. She looked up and
said
Gertrude is gone. She went away
at daylight, leaving only note for me.
She will never forgive you, Bernard"
He turned his back upon her, climb
ing slowly and painfully to his own
room. There the pictured face on the
wall looked down at him with tender
compassion in its eyes, as, perhaps, the
immortal spirit looked down from the
heavenly courts.
"Oh, May, May at last you are
avenged 1t fingered late, but it did
not fail. God help me ="
He dropped into chair, and hid his
face in his hands, knowing too surely
that the last sweet hope of his heart
was dead for ever, and that nothing
waited but bitter loneliness and vain re-
morse.
From her grass-grown grave in Flor
ence, May reached out her dead hand
to take her late revenge.
