The Chequered Life OF a Queen.

The ex-Queen Isabella has returned
to the country from which she was ig-
ANONYMOUSLY elected nearly eight years
ago. There are few sovercigns living
at this day whose past is so full Of
dramatic interest as that of Dona Isa-
bel III.
In 1888, at the age of three years, she
was raised to the throne of Ferdinand
the Catholic, in consequence of the
arbitrary repeal of the Salic law by her
father, Ferdinand VII. For seven years
after this her supporters waged san
culinary war against her uncle, Don
Carlos, who claimed the throne bv vir-
tue of the old Spanish law of succession; !;
and when he had been overtaken at
last by the treason of Maroto, her own
generals, Espartero and O'Donnell,
fought for three years over the spoils,
and the former having the better of the
fight, sent her mother, Dona Christina,
into exile.
In 1843 Espartero was overtfrown in
his turn, and the Queen declared of
age. Three years later, in 1876, old
Louis Philippe dealt with her and her
oAS0OA oAO AuAUA10 4|uISd, DIS luCI0 VOOlEs
of his policy, and in this way the
"Spanish marriages. were brought
about by which a war nearly arose be-
tween France and England. For two
and twenty years after this there was
not more unhappy being in the world
than this Queen, who, on the one hand.
was joined to husband for whom she
could have no affection, and on the
other was subjected to the fiuctuating
influences of miserable counselors, not
one Of whom, with the sole exception
of Narvaez, kept faith with her.
When at last, on the 29th of Septem-
Der, 1868, she was driven into exile, q
period of peace and rest began for her,
and of strife and misery for unhappy
Spain. Her position will now be most
delicate one-a Queen living near the
throne, but not on the throne-and lit
tie good is hoped for from this state Of
things, either for her or for her coun-
try.-N. Z. Sunday Democrat. lal
