The RumOred Change In the Span
ish GOvernment-AnOthe Version OF
she Story.
WASHINGTON, November 25.-The
first intimation yesterday of probable
change of the administrator in Spain, with
Marshal Serrano as dictator, came through
British official sources. To-day the story
is varied in another quarter, namely, that
the CASTELAR, government is to be overthrown
by combination Of ruling Spaniards. The
plan is said to be to include the establish
ment of Marshal Serrano as regent for the
young Duke Alfonso.
Our government has no official advlces on
the subject, nor does it consider these re-
ports trustworthy.
Items.
WASHINGTON, November 25.-The
President has appointed e. r. Bagwell, of
Virginia, a commissioner, substituted in the
centennial commission.
Secretary Robson left Washington last
night for Philadelphia on business con-
nected with the fitting out of vessels.
1t is said by bureau officers at the navy
department that so far from orders being
issued for the suspension of the work of
fitting out vessels, the preparations are being
hurried to completion.
The President has signed the naturaliza-
tion treaty between the United States and
Ecuador.

especially the case when we 90. or at

dark night. Every front-door gate in
Grace street is made of Iron--yery obsti-
nate and pig-headed iron-and SO hung
by the artistic fence-builder that it never
latches when swung to, but invariably
swings back at right angles with the
sidewalk, 80 as to monopolize about
TWO. thirds Of that narrow and contracted
institution. Everybody that passes up or
down street is expected to swing these
gates to as q matter of accommodation to
the owners. Keeping them constantly on
the swing brightens their hinges, and less
ems the. quantity of elbow-grease that
would be required if they were allowed
to grow rusty. Besides, it is the delight
of these Grace-street iron gates to be
swung to, especially of dark nights. and
6y near-sighted people ironically inclined.
They give q good slam when swung to on
such occasions, in response, of course, to
q good damn from the swinger while ma
licious little urchins stand at the windows
to enjoy the sport Of the gates. We had
occasion to go down this Street the other
night, when it was as dark as pitch, and,
our business being urgent, we took q 2.40
gait, and did nothing but shut gates all
the aoay do,on to,on. 1t was one continuous
slam, of course, and more continuous
damn, 1--WE grieve to say it,) for the
distance of eight or ten blocks,
We suddenly stopped during our
excursion to shut $50 iron gates by
actual count, and double that number
by the bruises received upon the anterior
portion of our tibias. The worst part of
Inc performance was, that when we got
home and showed our confused tibias to
bur wife, she would not believe word we
'aid, but declared we had been off on
regular shindy, and got just what we de-
served. We don't damn iron gates any
more, but eulogize them the best we know

hereabout are in full operation and the pro-
cess of making beer is daily Witnessed by
many with interest. Beer, after receiving
the finishing touches from the manufacture

derground to ripen. These vaults are often
constructed at an immense expense. The
vaults attached to the James River brewery

TENDER FEELINas.-We know of
nothing that so quickly touches the sympa-
thetic feelings of the heart as the sight of
misery or affliction in our fellow mortals !;
and we know of no misery and no affiic-
tion so keen as that attendant upon state
of poverty and want. There is a terrible
meaning in the declaration, "The poor you
have always with you," and we fear its
full import is not always appreciated by
those who have it in their power to aid the
poor without making any visible sacrifice
OF requiring even the slightest self denial.
We know poverty exists when we see per-
sons resorting to gathering bits of food
at the market stalls, or picking from ash
heaps the means of warmth. There are
many such in Richmond, whose presence
is apparent every day, and who anticipate
no relief from their present abject condi-
ton, except through that final summons
which calls them away from life. Happy

gers and ballast. The Graphic publishes
full details as to its dimensions, how much
rope, cloth, stitching, &C., it will require,
and many other particulars. . -.
We are firmly persuaded that it will not
be long before aerial navigation will be as
common as railroad travelling is now: but
whether this venture Of the Graphic COM
rany is to be successful is another question.
The daring navigators and their enterprising
hackers deserve the sympathy and applause
of all who believe in progress. 1t has now
been long lifetime since railroads were
first put into practical operation, a nd as no
one expects the world to stand still, and as
there is no reason for supposing that the in
ventions of the future will not be-as far SUI
perlor to ours as ours are to those Of the
last century, we have concluded that it is
time new mode of travelling were brought
into use. We can imagine none better than
travelling through the air. With Old Proba-
bilites to tell lis in advance in what direc-
tion and at what rate the wind will blow,
there need be no difficulty.
