spanish Love Of DIspIay.

Eugene Pirtou, q Frenchman, in a
book on Spain, says the Spaniards have
no taste for what the English call com
fort, but they are passionately addicted
to luxury Of apparel, of the toilet, and
of ostentatious display. The object is
different, but the passion is the same.
The Spaniard who is without shirt to
his back will stalk about majsstically in
a cloak which costs a couple OF hundred
pesos Another, who cannot pay for
his dinner, will display on his wsistcoat
a magnificent golden chain. This taste
for the toilet, for the snowy, for jewels,
for gliding, they push to the most ex-
travagant extreme. The women are
foremost in this respect, but the men do
not lay far behind; they wear gold chains
of an absurd thickness, carved, and
adorned with precious stones and trim
kets, until they blaze all over like a jew
eler's shop.
An example of the manner in which
this tendency to display shows itself, is
given with an incident that occurred to
the artist whose words illustrate the vol
ume He had ordered from tailor in
Malaga a pair Of leather breeches, such
as are worn by the peasants Of that prov
ince. Tho tailor dwelt in kind Of
dark, dim, and pestferous closet; he
was clothed like beggar; his thin, half
starved children had nothing but rags on
their bodies; his wife. an invalid, lay
upon pallet. Three days afterward
into our friends apartment entered a
gentleman elegantly curled and clothed
wearing a black great coat, vanished
boots, and felt hat la mode. Our
friend with difficulty recognized in this
resplendent his tailor bringing home the
pain of breeches he had ordered. Here
was man who could scarcely provide
his children with bread, marching
through the town attired like grandee. "

at the instance OF Prince Bismarck, and
who have dispersed themselves through
France, England, Belgium and the Uni

English noviiiate at Dillon Hall, nine
miles from Liverpool, the use of which
has been granted them by Mrs. Staple
ton Brotherton, of Rainhill Here about
one hundred priests and students, all
Germans, are located. Others of the
exiled Jesuits are settled at Stonyhurst

The smelt fishers on Great Bay, New
Hampshire, each have a hole in the ice,
which the fisher cuts at the beginning of
the season, and from which the young
ice is daily removed. The right Of each
fisherman to his established hole is sa-
oredly observed. Recently, a veteran
fisher, of more than three-score years
and ten, was found at hole claimed by
another fisher. This is my hole" said
the fisher. No, it is not, said the
veteran" q" cut it early in the winter"

Van Pelt, one of the principal figures
in the movement against the liquor sell
ers of Ohio, appears to know what he is
about. At the time his shop was visited
by the women he had on hand three bar
rels of spirituous liquors, two Of which
contained whisky. These he stove in
with his own hand, for which he received
one hundred aud fifty dollars raised on
the spot. Soon after he Joined the itin-
Grant bands of women, and is now max
ing speeches at their meetings, after
which he offers photographs of himself
for sale. Van Pelt appears to be find
ing out in his own experience the truth
of Timothy's saying, that " godliness,
with contentment, is great gain.

CHICAGO, July 3.-A special from

Agreements were made by EX-Chief

the arguments 50 far msde the case
seems to turn upon two points: First,

"A LEGGED conflict between the Potter and
the, general railroad law. The counsel

age OF a law dates from the time when

and that the section in the latter which
provides tor q reasonable and just COM

law conferred. The arguments in the
case will probably be concluded to-day,

Yesterday evening, in which George

brothers lived near together, and had
been exchanging labor, and yesterday
evening got into disppte about it at
William Carder's yard fence. Words

presented a pistol and snapped it at his
brother, who turned and started toward
his house at a fast walk, telling George
that he might kill him, although be

and the ball entered below the right
shoulder, causing death quickly. He
then took two fine mules belonging to
his dead brother and fed 10 the woods,
accompanied by his newly welded wife.
This man acknowledged himself to be
the cause Of another brothers death q
short while ago at Bstesvilie, where he
resisted the authorities and met his
death. George was concerned, and sur
rendered, but told his brother to not sur
render.

Proposals viii be received till July 23d,
at noon. The new five per cent ponds
are to-day quoted In gold, in the market
at 1923 to IUS, fiat. The bankers gener-
ally are puzzled at the circular, and va
riOus theories are held, one being that
the secretary has already concluded ne
g0iatiOns with some syndicate for
part or all Of these bonds, on condition
that he should offer them to the public,
and provided they did not bid more, tie
syndicate should have them at the price
agreed on, whatever it may be. The
Post says If no arrangement has been
made with any syndicate the move Of
the secretary Is astonishing, for the sec
re'aTy cannot expect that bankers viii
take part of the loan when the larger
pant may go at a price below what they
pay, and which would destroy their
market FOR selling.
