GENERAL NOTES.

QUEEN fsAsEILA's return TO Spain al-
ready begins to work mischief. She
had scarcely set her foot once more in
the country Of which she formerly was
sovereign before her partisans began to
plot in her behalf. aud now we have
evidence Of the success attending these
mistaken efforts. Such indications
bode no good TO Spain. A change In
the Ministry is only too apt to DO fol.
lowed by an attempted change in the
government. There is no reasonable
fear that Alfonso will BE- displaced that
his mother may again ascend the throne.
but the unnecessary agitation and dis
turbanees which arc the result Of her
presence In Spain are in themselves
hurtful and revolutionary. The young
King cannot long expect TO rstain the
affection Or respect Of his people II his
mother Is to be allowed to exert her
maiign influence over his fortunes.
ENGLAND Ia yet . long way behind In
freeing Church and State from each
other. The means Of comparing prog
ress In Great Britain and the United
States may be found in the Educational
Amendments which have just been
adopted In each country. There was
great excitement over the measure In
Parliament. and a. finally passed 1t
was q victory for the reaciionists, since
II authorizes the support Of the denomi'
national schools from tie public purse.
Years OF agitation are probably in store
for Great Britain before reaching the
position that this country will assume
when the Blaine Amendment Ia adopted
by the States; but to this point the free
thought OF the age is inevitably tending.
and EVEN In conservative England II is
only q question Of time.

A WORTHY OBJECT. 1t is unnecessary to
call the attention of the few who have been for
tunate enough, to hear Mrs. Woolson's lecture
on the Yosemite, to the advertisement that it
is to be repeated in Reception Hall this evening"
but the large number who have not had that
privilege, we earnestly advise to attend. 1t is
generally conceded by newspapers and ndivid-
uals to be most rare, interesting and excep-
tionally beautiful lecture. The lecturer starts
with us from San Francisco, and describes the
journey with singular vividness. She has the
faculty of imbuing us thoroughly with her own
personality. We are astonished, delighted or
awe-struck, as the wonders and beauties of the
far-famed valley, "the grandest of all grand
sights in the known world" are revealed to u.s.
No painters brush could make the scene so
vivid, and when the lecture is concluded, we
feel that if not in the body, surely in mental
vision, have we visited the wondrous valley of
the Sierras. Mrs. Woolson, it must be remem-
bered, is Portland woman, and her own
townspeople should be ready to evince their ap-
probation Of her eloquence, as well as kindness,
in contributing to Portland charity

A SMART BoY.-Saturday night smart ap-
pearing boy of about fourteen years of age ap-
peared at the City Hotel and asked to be kept
over night. He told very straightforward
story and excited considerable attention from
those at the hotel. He gave his name as Lewis
Paine and said he was left an orphan in Oak.
land, Pennsylvania, at an early age. For sew.
eral years pass he has lived with a milkman
near Philadelphia and was employed to drive
milk teams into the city. His employer paid
him little or nothing for his services, but each
morning gave him fifteen cents to get some
thing to eat on arriving in the city. This
money he saved until he obtained several dol
lvrs, when hearing from brother in Bangor
he decided to try and reach that city. He
walked part of the way and begged rides the
remainder of the distance, and on reaching
this city had just 27 cents left. On hearing
his story handsome contribution was taken
up for him by the boarders and Mr.. Martin
told him he was welcome to stop at the hotel.
This morning he will start for Bangor, gen.
tleman who is going that way volunteering to
pay his fare.

LECTURES TO Young MEN-The third ad-

ternoon at the Chestnut street church by Rev.
Mr.. Day, the pastor, from the text in Mark
2:27-"And he said unto them, the Sabbath
was made for man not man for the Sabbath"
1t was an able and earnest plea for the Chris
tian observance of the Sabbath, and pointed out
the dangers which lay in our path from the per-
nicious doctrines of those who are clamoring
that the Sabbath be made day of pleasure and
recreation.
