SPAIN is happy. Her boy King has
issued several proclamations since he
assembled the throne, and there is no end
to the great things the young man prom
ises to do. He will give everybody
everything, and will do everything for
anybody. Alfonso is decidedly the most
promising person at present engaged in
the king business.
This Beecher is a very queer man. At
a recent prayer-meeting in Plymouth
Church he said he had no such trouble at
present as he had once when he was a
boy, and his father told him he might go
hunting with him, and Aunt Chandler,
without knowing it, sent him to get some
snuff, and when he got back his father

In 1873 the corn crop Of the United
States amounted to 92O,OOO,OO0 bushels
according to the statistics of the Agri-
cultural Bureau. Last year it was $780,
100000 bushels. The cost of trans

siege Of trouble. She is assured by no
less an authority than the Hon. George
Il. Pendleton that she is the legitimate
heir to Sc, 100000 of property in Allie
gheny county, Pa. Her father died in
the happy Inconsistencies that he owned
the property but it has none the less

Gen. Tracy, Of the counsel for Mr..
