THE OPIUM APPETITE.

When keyng, says n writer in Old and
New, was sent down, almost with vice
rows powers, from Pikin TO Canton. to in
vestigate the opium smuggling. he began
by Investigating the lives of the Chinese
merchants. 1t is said that he invited AL
the importers to magnificent dinner, and
they attended with joy, greatly honored by
the invitation. But when it came time to
go home they were politely notified that
they were to spend the night with their
host. This was his civil way of finding
out how many of them could live without
smoking opium. The next morning they
were still kept in his palace for another
festival. Nor when the next night came
were they released. Before long one after
another surrendered. Though every
man. of them knew that to con
fess he was an opium-eater OF opium
smoker was to sign his own death-war
rant, still, one by one, the poor wretches
had to give in. They begged the vicerol
TO give them their opium, even if it were
for the last time. And so, before man.
days, he had proved to his own satisiac
ton, by their own confession that most o
his own countrymen who were engaged il
the foreign trade were themselves victim
of the appetite which his Government wa
trying to suppress.

THE SPANISH REPUBLIC.


A circumstance connected with the Alb
dication Of King Amadeus has recently
come TO light An article In tho Spanish
constitution makes II obligatory on the
cortes 10 pass certain laws providing for
tho abdication Of the sovereign who should
desire TO do so. In tho document, written
In Italian, declaring his abdication, ANA.
deus requested the cortes TO pass those
laws. The document was translated into
the Spanish by Signor jose Olozago, pres
idont Of tho council Of state. II was thcn
transmitted to Senior Montero Rios, minis
ter Of justice, for his opinion as whether
II was 10 conformity with tho constitution.
II is now asserted that Rios omitted the
reference TO tho cortos, made by Amadeus,
and made tho king simply declare that in
his own name ana that Of his sons and sue
ccssors he renounccd forever tho throne Of
Spain. Tho speedy formation of the re-
public sowing to this tact;
at has from tho first, says the Madrid
correspondent Of the London News sheen
fully credited here that the. inistry, with
the exception of Gorilla, who was not in
the plot, had conspirod to effect tho. king,
abdication In order to pave the way for th,
immediate. declaration OF republic. So,
nor Rivero in his remarks before tho Per-
'manent Commission on the 23rd OF April,
publicly acknowledged that such design
really existed, and that all wore party to
. IT, But for tho alteration in the form OF
abdication as effected by Senior Montoro
Rios, the republic in all probability would
mot have been declared so promptly, II at
all. The vote Of the cortos, which, &C.
cording to the constitution, alone could ON.
power the king to abdcate, would have
also provided for tho continuance Of a
government, and as the republicans were
in tho minority, it is scarcely probable
that, with time for reflection, they would
have secured the Immediate acceptance
of republic ).

Logan, who was the candidate opposed to
him, drove him by his bravado and black

friends said; "Don't make the mistake OF
two years ago, and take timid man like
Dickey. Take O'Bricn. He has pluck.
He will challenge Logan and he can
