Amadeus at Home.

From all accounts Amadeus, ex-King
Of Spain, is we'll resigned to his fate as
q private citizen of Italy. He states
that he had no regret in laying off the
vanities of royal pomp and splendor.
His home is near Milan, small but
nicely laid out farm, known as Monte
Vecchio. His house is small, but con-
yenient and well furnished. He devotes
considerable time to his farm and gar
den, in which he lis seconded by his wife,
who is a domestic sort of woman. A
visitor found the ex-King in his shirt
sleeves, sitting on rug, smoking and
reading comic paper. he remarked
that he had so few visitors that it was a
positive relief to see a strange face. He
occasionally goes to Naples to review
an army corps, but he spends nearly all
his time with his family at home. He
thinks the Spaniards are too much
welded to old customs to receive much
profit from the people of other nations.
He states that he went 10 Spain more to
crafty the ambitious wishes of his rela-
tives, who wanted to strengthen the
power of Italy by a foreign alliance, than
TO crafty any ambition OF his own.

He would Sing.

A rather singular lawsuit has taken
place in North Carolina. 1t grew out
Of an effort to stop a good man who
couldn't sing from making the attempt
in church. The name of the unfortu-
nate lover of song is William Linkhaw,
indicted for misdemeanor, and tried be-
fore Russell, Judge, at Robson Superior
Court. Defendant was indicted for dis
turbing a religious congregation. The
evidence, as detailed by several wit
nesses, was substantially this: Defen-
dant is a member of the Methodist
church. He sings in. such a
way as to disturb the congrega-
ton. At the end of each verse
his voice is heard after the other
singers have ceased. One of the wit
nesses being requested to describe de-
fendant's singing initiated it by singing
a verse in the voice and manner of de-
fenjant, which produced burst of
prolonged and irresistible laughter, con-
vulsing alike the spectators, the bar, the
Jury and the court" The defendant is
reported to be strict member OF the
church (Methodist), and man of the
most exemplary department. 1t was
not contended by the State upon the
evidence that he had any intention or
purpose to disturb the congre CATION, but
ION the contrary, it was admitted that he
was oonscientionsly taking part in the
religious services. There was verdict
Of guilty, judgment and an appeal by
the defendant

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1874-08-29

cS- The Democrats held Conventions in
several of the States on Wednesday last.
Among others was Ohio and Indiana. The
Ohio Convention was captured body and
soul by the infationists and repudiationists,
and the platform, goes beyond anything of
the kind that has been promulgated for its
pernicious ultraisms. 1t favors indefinite
expansions of the currency, abolition of
the national bank circulation and the sub
stitution of legal-tenders in its place, pay
ment of the five twentes in currency, taxa
ton of the bonds, and free trade under the
guise of what is called ga revenue tariff"
and denounces with a profusion of epithets
the Republican party en- masse. The Illi-
nois Democrats rejected an honest, straight
forward declaration in favor of hard money,
and substituted for it an evasion which
means nothing, except that thoy were not
as courageous as the Ohio brethren.
