SPAIN.

The Spectator makes the following remarks
on the H0henzoIlera canditature for the Span
ish throne 1.-The week lending May 30th)
" has been full Of reports from Spain about a
Hohenzol!ern candidaiure for the throne. The
story appears to be that Prince Bismarck
has decided against Don Carlos, as too much
under the influence of Rome, and sent Krupp
guns and money to Madrid to suppress him
that he has vetoed the selection Of D0na Tulsa
or her husband, the Duke de Montpensier, and
that he is anxious to renew the negotiation
broken off by the war. 1t seems not q little
dreamy, all that, unless Berlin is prepared
to conquer Spain, which she has not the
means Of doing but it is certain the rumour
Is LOUD, that Prince Bismarck has an active
policy in Spain of some kind, and that if he
could detach her finally from France, he
would greatly increase the security of Ger
many. 1t is scarcely conceivable, however,
that Serrano should entertain such an idea,
or that he could obtain any decided support
from an Alfonsist army. Even if Prince Leo
poId had the governing faculty of the Hohen-
zOllerns, he would need an army of fifty thou
sand foreigners to keep him on his throne,
and that would be insufficient. 1t is difficult
to imagine even an object for story which,
though a provocation to France, will not
tempt her to war unready.

literally buried in the sea, the work being still
incomplete. The projectors began by sinking
stones of various sizes in the line OF the intended
breakwater, which were often swept away by the
violence of the waves, and we're even al best a
very unstable foundation for such a superstruc-
ture as was required. A prodigious waste of
money and labour would have been saved by the
simple and obvious measure of employing an able
Engineer who, if the scheme had been practicable
would have worked out a plan for carrying it
into execution in the most effectual and least
expensive way"
This disposes of the subject of Imported
offcialism." The sons of Jamaica, we fear, are
like spoilt children, in too much of a hurry to
get at the top Of the ladder-too anxious to hang
up their hats upon pins beyond their growth,
without that Flooding patience which is the
groundwork of permanent success. When young
and in competition with English youths, they
outrun them in intelligence and aptitude up to a
certain mark, and there the English youths excel
them. Why Not because there is any inferi-
GRITTY OF intellect, but because they are too much
elated With their early success to persevere to the
maturity which the English boy, by indomitable
energy and endurance, reaches-the one is too
fond Of pleasure and a life of ease, while the other
willingly submits to disappointments and plod-
ding earnestness to surmount difficulties and
reach the object of his ambition and this affords
another illustration of the extraordinary Jamaica

IN AMERICA

A Washington correspondent of the Eup.
Nail describes as follows What he considers
the most rem ,rkable incident of the present
session of the House Of Representatives.
The emauoipated negro sitting in the Speak
ers's chair presiding over tie House Of Rep
resentatives, while Judge Parker, Of Missouri,
was making an eloquent appeal in behalf of
civilising the Indian aud ele%vating him to CT
tizenship-tLat is the scene which will make
the history Of The session memorable in Amer
lean annals. The honor Of presiding over the
House was accorded to a coloured representa-
tive for the fest time il the person Of Joseph
H R4iuey, the representative Of the First
South Carolina District, who was born a slave
in Georgetown in 1882. During the war be
was forced to work on tho fortiications cf the
Confederates in Charleston, from whence he
escaped to the West Indies, returning to his
native town at the close of the war. He has
been q member of Congress several times, and
is highly respected By the Members of the
House.

work has not been Oone anu was not intended
to be done last year. Some patchings were
made on the sides and floor, but not on the
roof. The Committees Report goes on to say,
that in the Estimate are entered items for
uncertain Expenses, such as repairs Of doors,
shutters, locks, hooks etc.. and at the same time
a round sum of $500 carried out for unforeseen
Expenses. But all those items for Uncertain
Expenses have been entered, with exception
Only of that for the Governmenthouse, because
it is already seen that OUTLAWS for those parti-
cular purposes will be required and are there
fore not unforeseen. The expenses to be de-
flaved under Ltr. II. of the Estimate are such
as are at present unforeseen, such that can not be
known at the time the Estimate is made, and
which expenses therefore are really unforeseen
although it is und0ubted, that expenses of that
nature will occur. And with regard to the
amount used for these unforeseen purposes, he
would state, that in 1871-72 it was S5l2.76,
in 1872-73 $4O2.74, in 1873-74 S493.I0, so
that on the average the $500 have been very
nearly used, and occasionally pretty large
items have been betrayed from them, which
had, however, not been calculated on. And
when the Committee furthermore says, that
eve believe that the rule formerly was to
fix the amount to about 10 % of the total
amount Of the Estimates, and that the amount
for this financial year ought to have been fixed
at $500 to $500 less than has b90n done" -
this was a mistake; there has been no such
rule, besides which the two estimates have
nothing to do with each other. When the
Committee furthermore recommends that the
o~ccupiers Of public buildings should, within
a certain limit, be authorized to have the ne
cesSary repairs done without waiting for
Estimates from Building Inspectors or Com
mittees, he would beg to say that what the
Committee here recommends is what used to
be the rule formerly, but which was changed
by a Governments letter Of 7th July 1869,
because the system was found Inconsistent with
public interests because, and experience also
has sheWn it, the expenditure for such purposes
when under control, is less than when the
parties had q power to do such works. The
power which every official having public build
ing5 under his control, to cause repairs when
ever necessary to be made to On amount not
exceeding $40 was withdrawn, and it was so
arranged, that a certain amount was budgetted
70. the repairs Of this kind in general aud the
Building Inspector keeps a list Of the amounts
used, every account being required to be certi-
fed and noted by him before assignment. If
every official were to have power to use
amounts for repairs without their being ascer-
tanned ythe Building Inspector, the expenditure
entered on the Budget would be exceeded and
the Administration would be compelled TO
come frequently with petty additional grants
or indemnity grants all the year round. There
fore be thinks it is best to continue in this
respect as heretofore.

Renrs and PaImettoes.

A Florida letter to the New York Sun
says: The tops of many palmettoes had
been torn in pieces by bears. Bruin
climbs the trunks and rips out the heart
of the trees. The heart of a palmetto
resembles a cabbage. Floridians boil
and eat it. When raw it tastes like a
chestnut Picked in vinegar it creates
a keen relish. Natives invariably speak
of the palmetto as a cabbage tree. 1t is
this heart or cabbage that produces a
fresh circle of fans every other new
moon. AS the lower circle fades and
drops to the ground, new one appears.
The butts of the dead fans cling to the
tree, and look like straps crossing
the bark diagonally in opposite
directions. These yellow straps are
called "boots." As the palmetto
reaches the prime of life, it sheds its
boots, and the bark becomes smooth.
The tree is then of the same size all the
way up. If man can fancy bullrush
from sixty to eighty feet high, crowned
with circles of green fans, he will have
some idea of an aged palmetto. Such
trees are frequently two or three hum
dred years old. The wood is absolutely
good for nothing. 1t can neither be
used for fuel nor sawn into boards. 1t
looks like strong, dark cord cut into
pieces fifty feet long, rolled into the
shape of stovepipe, and glued together.
The tree itself is not larger than the
mast of a ship.

A singular Marriage.

The Norwegian papers are full Of a
marriage recently celebrated between an
English gentleman and q gipsy lgirl
bearing the name of Esmeralda. The
gentleman is Mr.. Hubert Smith, who is
described es land owner in Shropshire,
and who. some time ago, made himself
known in literature by clever book en-
titled "Tent Life with English Gipsies
in Norway, dedicated TO King Charles
XIV. of Sweden and Norway" Mr..
smith has spent several summers in
Norway with a following of gypsies,
wandering on foot through valleys and
over mon1tains, carrying tents and pro-
visions with him on the backs Of don
KEYS aud leading a most original vaga-
bond life. Esmeralda was born on bis
estate in Shropshire. She Is, the Nor
wegian papers state, very handsome, a
perfect type Of the peculiar beauty Of
her race, of the sweetest temper, aud
richly gifted from the hands OF nature.
The last few months she has passed in
Norwegian family, taking lessons N Ian
quages and music, and has astonished

a time. not less than by her gentle man-
ners. The marriage was a civil one, be-

There are many scenes on the river
bank that would attract your attention
and ell you with surprise. ALI day, but
more especially morning and evening,
long files of women, in their dark blue
robes, come to the river's brink to fill the
large ballas jars, so called from the vii
lsge where they are made. After a little
gossip and merry laughter, they help one
another to raise the vessel to the top Of
the head, where it is placed in hollow
pad, and so they go back to their homes,
up hill and down, perhaps a distance of
half mile or mere, without ever touch
ing the lar with their hands. 1t is feat
which surprises the traveller, and can
only be accomplished by daily practice.
Here and there may be seen a buffalo,

sullen and surly, but in reality gentle

plauded speech in her honor. The Nor
wegian gipsies' friend, Mr.. Eliert Sundt
who has devoted the best part Of his life
to the pulling down of the barrier erected

between the gipsies and the rest of the
community and who has converted not
few of the nomadazing tribe to settled
and industrious life, had been invited to
the marriage, which had his full approval,
but was prevented at the moment from
attending. Several notabilities from
Christiana are mentioned among the
guests, and the marriage was the occa-
sion for numerous expressions of sym
pathy, especially from ladies who had
made the acquaintance Of the bride.

couple left to spend their honeymoon in
