SPAIN AND FRANCE.

The reports of the situation in Spain
since the battle before Irun are conflicting
In some quarters 1t is reported that the re-
treat OF the Carlists was rOutin others
that they withdrew in perfect order and
that the insurgcnt folc es have Low entered
the map of Span will show our readers
the situation much better than we can de-
scribe it. Foreign dispatches announce
that the republican troops are pursuing the
retreating Carlists with vigor, laying waste
the country and burning houses of Carlist
sympathizers, Three hundred buildings
have already been destroyed, and it is said
sixty soldiers of the Biscay battalion were
frozen to death in the snow during the re-
treat. A dispatch from Madrid of date of
the 18th says:
"The latest dispatches from the rcpubli-
can army to the government are of the
most encouraging nature. The army off,
GERS report that but few bodies of organized
Carists are now in the field, and these have
been so weakened by desertions and other
causes as to he unfit for any aggressive
movement
lit is believed that Carlism has been
enectually crushed"
A dispatch from BayOnne. of the same
date, says that
"The Carlists have concentrated IN the
province of Navarro. between the towns of
Vera and Lesaca. The republican troops
are marching upon them"
A still later dispatch from London yes
terday sums up the situation and the future
as follows:
'''The Summaries telegram from Paris
says the impression there in circles favor

utterly ruined and his situation hopeless"
1t would seem TO be safe to predict that
Don Carlos, the Pretender, has about ex-
hausted his resources, and that the revou-
ton within revolution has wrought it's
mischief and had its end. The prospect of
the establishment of a republican gov
eminent on the continent does not appear
to be encouraging. We are forced to this
conclusion, that while republic "may be
born in an hour it would grow before Its
birth to have the elements of endurance
which will give it a name and place in his
tory. There are those without the limits
OF our own republican Institutions who are
devoting the energy OF their liyes to the ed.
ncation of the masses In the principals and
practices of republican and represcntatiy
government 1t is doubtless the effect of
the teachings that has systematically lifted
the governments of France and Spain to
the temporary dignity of republics, but also
only to fall back into anarchy and confus.

A Big Doctors Fee.

The son and heir of the late Edwin Ste
vens, Mr.. John G.. Stevens, although he is
the possessor of almost unlimited wealth,
being worth some $75. 900, has, until
very lately, been a most unhappy man.
He has been afflicted since his birth with
peculiar wen, which has increased year by
year, until it covered a large portion OF
his face and neck. & 1t was most unpleas-
ant object, being covered with long hair,
and strangely resembled an animal. NO
man could see it without a shudder, and
ladies have tainted at the sight of it. Of
course Mr.. Stevens felt the atfiic-
ton most keenly, and it had, natur-
ally enough, a very depressing effect upon
his spirits. What was his immense wealth
to him?. Any workman in his employ
was more to be envied than he. He be-
came morose and almost melancholy; so
ciety that he was exceedingly fond of he
studiously avoided, and, although young
man, he became almost a recluse. The
physicians and surgeons OF Europe were
consulted, but they all said that to remove
the wen could but result in his death. Al
| though his life was so miserable, still
there was hope, and he bore bravery up
against repeated disapp ppointments. Deliv-
erance came at last, and a few days ago an
] operation was performed which has made
| him new man. Dr.. Willard Parker, of
=
this city, had faith to believe that the wen
could be removed. He told Mr.. Stevens
| so. and the young man, grasplng at the
straw, promised him $l50,000 if he would
perform the operation successfully. He
did so, and has earned the everlasting graft
tnde, as well as the money, OF the young
millionaire, who is now pronounced out
of danger. The operation was performed
with electric knives, and it is said that
when the horrid tumor was removed, the
skin beneath was us sound and smooth as
that of any other part of the body. Not
withstanding the cloud that has hung
over his whole life, the young man has
had his love affair like the rest of US. In
early youth he was betrothed to a little
girl, the daughter of one of his fathers
dearest friends, who ALWAYS loved him,
and sorrowed with his affliction: While
the hateful thing was upon him, it is said
Mr.. Stevens gave up all idea of being mar
ried. but now that it has been removed
we shall expect soon to hear OF great we'd
ding festivities at Hoboken.-N. +. Cor

LOVES CHOICE.

RY KATE HILLARD.
Do you remember, dear my love,
Our parting in the twilight lane,
When brighter than the stars above
Yo1r eyes shown through their deWy rain,
And made me say goodbye again,
And held me, that could not move?
Too fond to grieve, too sad to smile,
yielded to their silent power;
And was it but breathing while,
Or was it through spellbound hour,
kissed YOUR face, an upturned flower,
Whose sweetness did my soul beguileP
And then I said, ''Farewell, my sweet!
The hour has come, and we must part;
But through the long years ere we meet,
Which will you bear within your heart
To comfort you when depart
Remembrance, or oblivion heet?
GA memory of all the bliss
That made the flying hours so bright,
From the first timid, trembling kiss
dared to give you one dear night,
Lost in vision oil delight,
Down to the perfect joy of this2
"-Forgetfulness of ali the pain
That happiest lovers learn to know
The doubts that come and come again,
The haunting fears that will not go,
The vague faint chill presaging woe,
UncOnquered by loves proud disdain?
(which would you have, sweet now decide
Forgotten pain, remembered Joy 2''
HAh, dearestI' then you said, and sighed,
''Love's pain is but brief annoy,
But rich delights that never cloy
Are to his memories allied
''Then bid my heart loves joy retain,
And sum felicity in this,
That all its treasures still remain;
Andtill we meet and live again,
Youshall forget loves passing pain,
And I'll remember all its blss!''

MISCELLANEOUS.

A large fire occurred at Oshkosh, Wis, on
the night of the 14th, extending on Main
street for half mile, and westward to the
lake. The loss is estimated at 81 100000.
The origin of the last great Chicago fire is
somewhat obscure, but upon investigation it
appears to have first broken out in little
one-story frame shanty fronting the alley in
the rear of No. 527 Clark street. The place
was used for storing rags. From here the
fire quickly communicated to large oil re-
finery situated a short distance east, the
large tanks of Oil contained therein being
ignited and sending up terrific flame, the
heat of which was SO intense that the sur
rounding wooden buildings seemed almost to
burst into instantaneous flames. Whether
the fire originated spontaneously, or by acci-
dent, or whether it was the work of an in
cendiary, will probably never be satisfactorily
ascertained.
A fire at Iowa Falls, Iowa, on the 14th,
destroyed forty-fiye buildings, valued at $780,
600.
There were about five hundred residences
and one hundred business houses burned by
the fire in Oshkosh, Wis, the aggregate value
of which was about three-quarters of mil
lion dollars. 1t was insured to nearly its full
value.
The District Commission have issued an
| order suspending all work under contract OF
the late Board of Public Works, except those
pertaining to sewers, and the same shall moi

animation Of all the work on sewers and
other public improvements be made at onct
by the Engineer of the Board of Commission
ers, to determine the point of work which il

Saving a "saratOga.y


Hank Monk. the stage-driyer who gave
Horace Greeley his memorable mountain
ride, in common with all his tribe, hates
the sight of those ponderous specimens OF
architecture in the trunk line known as
the q Saratoga bandbox.n He likes a
6 Saratoga about as well as S cat likes
hot SOAP. He now drives on the stage
line between Carson City and Lake Tahoe.
He was driving on the same line last sum-
mer A Virginia lady who was stopping
at the Glenbroek House had a Saratoga
at Carson which she wished brought up
to the lake. 1t was about as long and
wide as a first-class spring mattress, and
seven or eight feet high. The lady had
managed to get it as far as Carson by rail,
but the trouble was to get it up into the
mountains. Hank had promised TWO or
three times to bring it up "next trip"
but always arrived without it. At last
Hank drove up one evening. and, as usual,
the lady came out upon the veranda to
ask if ne had brought her trunk. Like
that great and good man, George, Hank
cannot tell lie, and so he said: mo,
| ma'am, / haven't brought it, but l think
some of it will be up by the next stage"
tfSome of it! cried the lady.

matters
ssHalf of itl'' groaned the Mortified
owner of the Saratoga.

at least $4,000. The money is paid,
and he goes to Albany with it and
pays out say $1,000 among the bribable
members. The remaining $4,000 hequiet-
Iy puts into his own pocket. If the bill
passes the company are satisfied, and new
er ask a question about the affair. If E
does not pass they may ask questions, but
they will get no information out of the
lobbyist. 7Where did you put the mon
ey?" he may be asked. His reply, ex-
pressed in warm terms of Indignation, is
usually in this vein: "Do you think will
tell YOU the names of the members whom
have bribed? No; am bound to pro-
tect them. What do you take me for? l
would have you to know that | am an hon.
orable man, and / trust you will never in
sultme in this way again." The head OF
the company begins to feel that he really
has acted very shabbily, and the lobbyist
goes forth with his rs per cent. plunder
comfortably slowed away in his pockets.
1t is game in which there is scarcely the
least probability of his being found
out-certainly not one chance in thous-
and.
By these means almost any man who
follows up the trade for a few years may

| involve certain loss of character, but not

the lobbyist, but generally they will be too
| much afraid of him and his newspaper to
say what they think of him. And then he
has money, and money will buy almost
anything. The lobbyist gets all the socie-
| ty he wants, and may even boast-as one
| did the other day--of being asked to din
ner by the President, and by 'sMr. George
w. Childs of Philadelphia. Surely that
is enough to satisfy any mans social ambi-
ton. And even if these privileges were
denied to the lobbyist, he would probably
not take the loss much to heart. From a
barefooted and ragged d-breeched boy he
has been transformed into wealthy Amer
can citizen, owning houses and lands, with
all his poor relations provided for by a
generous public; and with the prospect
! before him of ending his days in "pala-
tial mansion - instead of dying pauper in
/ an Irish ditch. Such reward as this is
quite sufficient to make the trade of lobby
| ing one of the most popular of the day ,and
| its brilliant success is one of the signs by
(which we may judge of the improvements

moral ideas and principles bequeathed to
