New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1874-01-06

There ia nothing in the news from Spain
this morning to modify the views we ex-
pressed yesterday in regard to the assumption
of power by SerranO. 1t is stated that he Of
fered a place in his Cabinet to CASTELAR,, but
it is scarcely necessary to say that the offer
was refused. The change of Government ap-
pears to be generally aequiesced in throughout
Spain. 1t is natural enough that the army
should accept it, as the revolution was prOba-
bly, planned in concert. with the leading com
manders and SerranO has always been the
favOrite military politician of the country.
His accession is received with joy in Cuba, and
the Peninsuars there are candid enough to give
their rejoicings true mOnarchical color.
They have betaken themselves to regildng
the crowns on the sterns of their vessels and
to replacing the royal coat-Of-arms on the
public buildings.

The nomination of Mr.. Hustled may be
fairly taken, we suppose as a triumph of the
Weed element of the Republican party, as
against the Ring managers, who have lately
aspired to the control. and an indica-
ton of the widening breach between
the two. Mr.. Weed first thought it
necessary to administer decided rebuke to
the ambitious persons who had gained control
of the party organization, by bringing their
plans for the last State campaign to
confusion through the nomination of Gen.
Dix. His old friends seem now to
have given, quietly but with great decision,
their response to the warm recommendation
of Mr.. Prince for the Speakership by Senator
Conking and Mr.. Cornell. 1t is undeniable
that Mr. Hustled has many qualifications
for the Speakership, and take him
all in ALL is perhaps the most acceptable par
liamentarlan available. AS refOrmer he is
pretty certain to maintain at least as high a
standard as the Assembly over which he is
to be chosen to preside.

The singularly winning and amiable charac-
ter of Ralph Keeler is admirably sketched in
the graceful letter from Mr.. T. B. Aldrich
which We publish this morning. The quick
penetration and ready sympathies of Mr..
Aldrich discerned in the young author of
" VagabOnd Adventures a nobility of nature
which the world did not suspect and
promise of which few even of Ralph keeler's
closest friends seem to have been aware. The
tragedy on board the Cienfuegos cut
short a life which ought to be long remem
bered for its inspiriting lessons, as well AZ
its brilliant and now ruined hopes. What
that tragedy was We can hardly doubt any
lOugol. A suspicion las been expressed that

The House bill to regulate rates of freight
and fare on railways, agreed to in Committee,
though simple enough in its structure, is a
sweeping measure. Briefly, 1T proposes to de-
clare all railways crossing States as COM
mercial highways; this would place them
under the constitutional regulation of Con-
gress and it is proposed to regulate fares
and freight by the supervisory action of a
Commission to be appointed by the President.
Whatever may be said of the right of Con-
gress to exercise such power, the appoint
ment of Commission would just now be
regarded with some suspicion We have not
been so fortunate in the matter of Govern
ment Railroad Directors and Commissions that
such Board would be regarded with popular
complacency. Nevertheless, Mr. McCrary's
bill is an honest and well-intenti0ned effort in
the right direction

In the Belmont about Is tons Of ore
are daily being brought to the surface
from the Moore & Martin ground,
which Is crushed ut the Monltor-B Bel
mont mill, yielding about $4,000. The
usual number Of men are employed
running drifts. preparatory for working
tho mine in proper shape. The new
shat Is down upwards OF 30 feet.
with all the dead work that has been
done for some time past, q very con-
siderable amount Of money was car
ried over on tho first OF the month.
The present yield Of tho mine will be
sufficient to pay current expenses and
all necessary outlay for improvements
As fast as the work progresses.
There Ia no particular change In the
Monitor Belmont ground since u last
report. Their new vertical shaft Il
down 2SJ feet from the surface, and
timbered the entire distance with j.
inch plank. Water increases slowly,
but not In sufficient quantity to inter-
iere materially with sinking. which Is
being pushed ahead day and night as
rapidly as possible. The cross-cut at
the 20O-foot level Is In lG7 feet. The
ground has become softer In the face Of
the drift, enabling more rapid progress

PERSONAL

The ARRAY In Carson last evening,
OF which mention Is made In eur local
columns. Ia much to be regretted, and
we wonder that the proprietors both
OF the Tribune and the Appeai, should
have allowed the publication OF ar
ticles from which this quarrel grew
and by which IL has been fostered to a
di.gracefnl and perhaps fatal ARRAY.
Upon the merits Of the controversy
We shall express 10 opinion, although
we have a very decided one. Suffice IL
to say, that a quarrel endangerlng two
human lives and perhaps destroying
Que, has grown up from a simple ques-
ton OF taste In the matter OF 4 local
article. Possibly tho appeal article
should not have been published pos
slbly, also, the Tribune vas unneces-
sarily severe In Its criticism. In ell
thcr or both cases, nothing farther was
necessary or should have been said.
We d~eprecats this kind Of Journalism.
IL savors tso much OF San Francisco
style. We arc too prone to ru,h Into
print to settle little differences; and
thence follows the pistol shot and its
attendant crime, so often sadly fatal.
There Is a line beyond which the right
to eritlclse a opponent In the public
press does not extend. This line was
o~verstepped by both parties to this
quarrel, aud the result Is crime and
bloodshed. While c%ondemnlng the
quarrel and most sincerely hoping
that no life may DO put out by Its 70.
sultant barbarous mode OF settlement,
our reprobation chiefly rests on those
whose position as proprietors should
have excluded from the columns OF the
rival journals the personal abuse on,
Of which the trouble first arose..

A NEW METHOD OF REST.

The discussion on cremation has excited
the genius of q German philosopher,
named Steinbeir, who, according to q
German newspaper, proposes to cover the
body of the deceased with Roman or Port
land cement, which hardens into a solid
mass and renders the escape of noxious
gases impossible. According to this plan
the corpse would be placed in a sarcopha-
gus of already hardened cement, the cavity
in which it reposed would be filled up
wi, h the same material, and both would
harden together into a thick slab of o
substance resembling stone. Thus the
deceased buried in this manner would rest
within instead of under his tombstone,
and grave and monument be comprised
in the same block Of imitation granite.
This new method of rendering ashes to
ashes and dust to dust possesses several
architectural and economical advantages
over cremation and other e~xpedients.
A man may have his ancestors converted
into pillars and garden s~tatuesd and thus
really live surrounded by the stony shades
of his forefathers. asaof 1r aos3

THE SPANISH PRETENDER ON HIS
HIGH HORSE.
New York Herald,)

It is really amusing to meet in real lite
with a veritable descendant of Don Quixo-
te. Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender,
must certainly belong to the family of the
renowned Knight of La Mancha. He has
all the pompous grandeur OF that enthu-
siast and not a few of his other distinguish
ing qualities. In a manifesto addressed to
the Spanish people this leader ofa band of
fanatics informs the "rebels" that unless
they lay down their arms and allow the
puissant and divineIy appointed King Car
los to walk over their bowed necks to the
Escurial he will reduce them to obedience
by the virtue that lies in artillery. All
this is very pompous and very ridiculous
when it is considered that this person who
threatens so nightly has been for some
years skulking in the mountains OF Blscay
and Navarro, never daring to meet the re-
publican troops in anything like a talr
fight, unless when he had overwhelming
odds in his favor. With that treachery
aud ingratitude which have ever been dis
tinguishing traits in the stock from which
he claims descent he now declares that if
the republicans will give him the crown he
will allow the Church property to remain
in the hands of the present possessors and
will accept representative government
for the sake ola crown. This selling bout
of his party and principle shows the would
be King to be unworthy o~fsympathy. He
is simply a selfish adventurer, working on
the fanaticism of the inhabitants of the
Northern provinces of Spain for his W
advantage, without any real attachment to
the principles he processes. AS the cham
pion and protfg6 Of the Church he ought
not to consent to the couiscation of eccle-
s%iastical property. If he be a king by d.
vine right he ought to accept no compro-
mise with such denominations as represen-
tative assemblies. Buthis manifesto shows
that he is willing to sacrifice friends and
principles to his aggrandizement, and
ex poses the hollOwness and worthlessness
of this bombastic descendant of Quixote.

loss on the agriculturists most affected. Then
other miscellaneous effects on the health of the
rural districts threaten to show themselves
more and more at each return of the disaster.
At last we shall be brought to our senses by
results beyond the present stretch Of our belief,
We shall then enter upon great works but
1t would be better to begin on a sufficient
scale in good time.

A BLOSSOM From NOW Is.

At an altitude of four thousand feet
in the California ~sierras the traveller
finds, growing from the eternal SHOWS
on the borders Of the grim pine forests,
a gorgeous flower, sometimes measur-
ing twsnty-eight inches in length from
tip to root, and with a spike over a foot
long. The portion Of the plant which
is visible above the soil is a bright rosy
crimson in color, and presents the very
strongest contrast to the dark green of
the pines and the Skinner of the
snow" Its root is succulent, thick, and
abundantly free of moisture, attaching
itself to the roots of other plants, prin-
cipally to the species of the pine family.
Hence, it is among those curious men,
bers of the vegetable world which are
known to botanists as parasites, and is
consequently entirely incapable of cul-
tivation. The deer are extremely fond
of j., and it is not an uncommon cir
cumstunce to find a number of the
plants uprooted and robbed of the ieshy
part of the underground growth by
these animals. 1t belongs to the natural
order OrOJdnchacca, and is met with
through the whole of the sierra region,
becoming rarer as We approach the
South.

TIE SCIENCE, OF kI.SSING.

People will kiss. Yet not one in a

for us. First, know whom you are 60

although a mistake may be good.
Don't jump up like a trout for a fly,
and smack a woman on the neck or the
ear, or the corner of her forehead, or
on the end of her nose. The gentle.
man should be n little the taller. He
should have a clean face, a kind eye,
and a mouth full OF expression. Don't
kiss everybody. Don't sit down to it.
Stand up. Need not be anxious about
getting in a crowd. Two persons are
plenty to corner, and catch a kiss +;
more persons would spoil the sport.
Take the left hand of the lady in your
right +; let your hat go to-any place out
of the way throw the left hand gently
over the shoulder of the lady, and let
it fall down the right side. Do not be
in a hurry !; draw her gently, lovingly
to your heart. Her head will fall gent
ly on your shoulder, and a handsome
shoulder strap it makes. Do not be in
hurry. Her left hand is in your right :;
let there be an impression to that, net
like the grippe of a vice, but a gentle
clasp, full of electricity, thought and
respect. DO not be in a hurry. Her
head lies carelessly Oh your shoulder.
You are heart to heart. Look down in
to her ~half-closed eyes. Gently, but
manfuliy, press her to your bosom.
Stand firm. Be brave, but don't be in
a hurry. Her lips are almost open.
Lean slightly forward with your head,
notathe body. Take good aim the
lips meet the eyes close !; the heart
opens /; the soul rides the storms,

in a hurry; heaven opens before you
