The Duchess of Aosta.

The London correspondent of the New
York Graphic says: "The Duke and
Duchess pAosta were an Italian prince
and his wife, who were passed over to
Madrid, and made King and Queen Of
Spain just as easyl The Bogardus
kicker at once began Its function. There
is in the Spanish character the most ex-
traordinary vein of fierceness, both in
love and hate. They hated the Duke
d'Aosta and his wife, and would not
tolerate them as King and Queen OF
Spain. A lady OF the Court who was
instructed to hold their infant at the
baptismal font received the child in her
arms, and then actually let it fall with
a crash upon the marble floor. Il am the
wife of a grandee OF SPAIN she SAID,
viciously, Eand this brat has not one
drop of Castllian blood.' Other out

insulting, were inflicted upon the reign.

1t was no unlrequent occurrence for
their carriage to be stopped, not by ruff
fans, footpads, COMMUNISTS, but by men
of high birth, gentlemen, noblemen, So
called, and linguistic vlleness to which
BiIlingsgate is Tennysonian, poured III
their Mortified ears. They did not stand
it long. They recognized the force OF
the arguments OF the Bogardus. The
King sent In his resignation, saying, in
effect, ii not in detail, that as long as
there were boots to be blacked or street
cars needing conductors, he'd rather
not earn his living as King of Spain. So
lar it was farcical enough, but tragedy
was played before the season was
closed. The young Queen was 81 i'll
when her husband resigned, and the
Spaniards were 80 merciless in their de-
termination to turn them out at once,
that the unfortunate lady had to be car
ried in litter from the palace to the
wharf where lay the ship which was to
bear her from those shores. The excite
ment, the anxiety, the exposure, brought
about lingering illness, which tefm'n IL
ated in her death last week, at the early
age OF tWenty-nine.

JUST LIKE THE AMERICANs.-The
Paris correspondent of the London Tele-
graph writes: A local newspaper,
named the journal de Luneyille, gives
an account of strange incident which
occurred in its locality on Friday last
A gentleman dressed in fashionable style
went to leading establishment OF the
place and asked for a not bath. Before
undressing he sent the waiter for num-
ber of articles, of which he gave list,
written on piece Of paper. Among
other things he ordered bottle OF white
wine, some whisky, red pepper, carrots,
turnips, tomatoes and onions. After
pouring the liquor into the bath he cut
the vegetables into small pieces, sprin-
kled the pepper over them, and then
turned on the tap of boiling water.
When the bath WAS filled he uHdresseQ,
and crying out, "Good-by; Pm going to
cook myself in the American fashion" :"
plunged in. Su pecting some strange
conduct, the attendants burst open the
door, and found the man almost boiled
TO death. An investigation proved that
he had suddenly gone mad.

East Indian Coin.

To this dav sort OF (ancitul value at
taches TO the magnificent gold mohur,
so soft that it could be bent by the
fingers or scratched by the nail, while
the silver sicca rupee long held its
ground against the Company's rupee,
with its slight admiXture OF alloy. The
practice Of having CONS and ornaments
Of alb solutely pure gold and silver had
its good as we'll as it's bad side. No
doubt the trinkets were easily defaced,
the coiu quickly injured by friction.
But then the natives OF India have
always found it convenient TO convert
coin into bangles and nose-rings, and to
exchange these latter Tor coin, at will,
and with the minimum of loss. A HindoO
ryot has but to carry bag OF silver to a
jeweler, and on paying the cost of the
labor he procures its Transformation
into aukletS and armlots tor his wife
and daughters; possibly, in some rare
instances of bucolic ostentation, into
silver tyres for the wheels OF his OK
cart. He has no doubt OF the substan-
tial value of the property which he thus
oddly invests.
For in India it is not as with us at
home, where Jewelry is dear to buy, but
cheap to sell; where costly rings and
bracelets are with difficulty disposed OF
