King AlfnnsO Asks Advice.

King Alfonso is represented as having
written 10 the Pope asking advice on the
subject of contracting second marriage
Personally, he says, the thought of other
nuptials is distasteful TO him, but con-
tinued celibacy may be detrimental to
the Spanish monarchy. The papers, too,
are beginning to discuss the same subject.
The king and his married sister, the
Countess de Girgenti, are childless, their
two younger sisters are unmarried, and
the throne is at the mercy of an accident
or q crime. Among the Bourbon
princesses considered eligible are the late
queens elder sister (who is possibly too
old for Alfonso), the Princess Blanche, OF
Orleans, the daughter of the Count OF
Trapsni, and the daughter of the Duke OF
Seville. OF other princesses, a Protest AZ I
being out OF the question, the second
daughter Of King Leopold, OF Belgium
is regarded with the most favor, though
she is rather young. The question,
especially since Moncasi's attem pit on the
kings life, is regarded as serious one,
inasmuch as contested success in or a
weak regency in Spain or Italy might
lead to the proclamation OF a republic,
which would probably bring about in
Europe another AS.

Quite Enough Married,

An incident Of crossi * the plains, in
early days, was told by clever lady a,
the breakfast table one morning in Frisco,
A Dutchman and wife had Travelled ives,
and arrived at Salt Lake, where they
halted for few weeks. The Mormon.
got around the old Dntchman and coaxed
him to join their ranks. After retiring
one night in their canvass covered wagon
bed, the good Dutchman broke the matter
to his better half, limiting to her that the
Mormons told him he. had better 'stay,
settle among dem, and take some more
wives" "How many wives you thinks
you want ?" asked KATRINA. The Dutch
man thought give more would make a
half dozen already" whereupon the
old wife got down her bodice, slipped
from 1t what the Dutchman called the
"prest broad, vich vas made from Wis.,
consiu hickory, was very tough" and
she laid the hickory fierce aud fast upon
the old man, who shufiled out of the
wagon and fell in ditch. The old man
got up, said his stomach it vas very
cid, but his back it vas warm" His
wife cried out: "How many wives you
tinks you want now, old fool 7" But the
Dutchman felt and expressed that one
was enough.

TAs Tea Trade.

A receut Warrington dispatch says
Some Baltimore tea merchants called
upon the Chinese Embasssdor, and dis.
Gu sd the question Of commercial rela
tions with China with special relation To
the lea trade. This Is the first reception
given by the Chinese TO civilians. The
tea merchants requested the Chinese
Embassador TO discourage the exporta.
tion Of teas which we're artiicially col
ored, and to send teas only in natural
condition, % they are used in China.
The Minister showed his shrewduess by
informing the delegation that Chinese
merchants would be glad to export teas
In the natural condition, as 1t cost them
much less, and that artificially colored
teas would not be exported day longer
than there was 4 demand for them. A
sample n the tea brought from China by
The. Embassy for Its own use was brought
in. The Minister said that the various
brands OF tea sold in America and Europe
were unknown 10 and unused by the tea
consumers In China They were espe
cially prepared by Chinese tea exporters
Tor the foreign markets, were colored by
chemicals, and this process, together with

sumner. There ia, said he, really but one

of tea, but have reference to the period

Wing, In the cours, OF a speech, made
the important admission that he was
confident tea could be successfully cult
waited In certain portions OF the United
States, but that Chinese labor would be
necessary to successfully do this, and he
added that Cinnamon are not disposed to
emigrate in great numbers to this coun.
try In view of pending prejudice and
