OF LATE YEARS the Spanish Nation has
taken laudable interest In keeping the
memory Of cervantes green. On the ami
versaTy Of his birthday, the poets In all the
principal cities improve the occasion by
awarding premiums and reciting verses In
honor Of the author OF Don Quixote. The
Madrid Epeco, under the heading of "Tne
Prison of Cervantes," calls attention to the
alarming state OF decay OF the house In the
"Areamasilla del Alora," In the cellar OF
which, as an extemporized dungeon, tradt-
tfon asserts that Cervantes was Imprisoned
and where he penned at least a portion OF
bis work. 1t was In this cellar that q few
years since the Madrid publishing house of
Rivadeneyra erected q press, aud printed
their edition de lure OF Don Quixote. The
house was, some time since, purchased by
the late 1nfaute Don Sebastian, with a
view 10 complete and careful restoration;
but political changes and his death pre-
vented the realization of his project. TIE
state of decay of the house, with view 10
an immediate restoration.
