the other opposite to him for the queen:
and then he would remain absorbed in
contemplating the empty seat, hardly
touching any of the viands laid before
him. His ministers, relations, and
faithful friends became alarmed at this
state of things, not only on account of
the kings health, but equally so on ac-
count of the interests Of the DYNASTY.
The Spaniards require to have a king
who shows himself. who mounts on
horseback, and passes reviews. His
majesty has, consequently, been per-
suaded to leave the Escurial, and to re-
sumo his ordinary life. He made no
resistance, to the entreaties addressed
tohIm to this effect, and since his re-
turn to Madrid, within the last few
days, he has given rather numerous
audiences, both to Spaniards and stran-
gers. During these visits he reverts
with certain preference to the mem
DRY of the queen. He likes to dwell
upon the fact that when he was pur-
suing MS studies 1T Vienna he thought
OF his cousin, and that seeing around
him certain dethroned princes who had
taken into exile with them, as it were
like Il burden, the consorts whom they
had espoused when seated on their
thrones, solely from political motives,
he had determined never to marry any
woman unless he could give her his
whole heart, and whom he could love
and cherish in days ofgood as well as
IN days of evil fortune. 1t was for that
reason that he had married his cousin.
He often cXclaims: The world is
against us; the government. the cham
bers, and our relatives. But we two

resorted to. He has already been per-
suaded to be present at the military
The necessity of finding
another companion for the king is be-
ing seriously considered 1t is highly
desirable that queen should share the
throne of Spain"

King Alph0ns0's Mourning,

A Madrid correspondent of the Paris
M0niteur writes as follows about Alphon-
SOS way of life since the death of Mer-
cedes: ct is well known how deep
and painful has been the grief of the
young sovereign, but what is less known
is the fact that. for the several success
sive weeks, he spent every moment at
the Escurial, when he was not necesSa-
rily occupied with affairs of state.
There he passed his time in solitude,
refusing to receive any one, and entire
ly abandoning himself to the memory
of his dear departed consort; he walked
about in the vast halls of the palace of
Charles v, and passed many long
hours In the vaults, which contain the
mortal remains of the Kings Of Spain.
At the hours of repast he ordered two

a PARIS cable dispatch says that at
the Latin Union Conference Italy
agreed to abolish paper money for
smaller amounts than 5 francs in rder
to relieve France Of the glut in small

not be received by the treasury of any

Italy will take back those now on

II was stated in the Boston common
council, the other night, that the bodies
of the poor who die at the hospital and
public institutions are turned over to
the medical profession, against the pro-
tests of friends, and disposed OF with
out decent burial, and that careful IN
quiry shows that fifty-fve or sixty bod
les are annually diSsected under such
circumstances. One case was mention
ed of a young woman VINO died at the
Massachusetts general hospital, and was
dissected, though her friends objected,
and she herself begged that she be bur
ried when dead. The council would
not, however. pay enough attention to
the charges to grant the investigation
asked for.

More of the Same Sort Wanted.
San Francisco Bulletin.

Some years ago a Wel-known resi-
dent of this city, a merchant, failed in
business. A meeting of his creditors
was called and his obligations COM
pounded at certain per cent. on the
dollar. At a later day he wound up his
business as Il merchant, and finally be-
came interested in stocks. He is now
secretary Of one or more mining COM
panleS, and has occasionally made for
tunate ventures on his own account.
Not long ago a member of leading
mercantile firm in this city was surpriS-
ed by the knowledge that a considera-
bic credit had been placed to his indi-
vidual account, and that all the other
members of the firm had similar credits
in proportion to their interest in the
firms business. The bookkeeper ex-
planned that one of the old customers
or debtors who failed years ago and
compounded with his creditors, there
by getting full legal release, had been
prosperous Of late, and had made it his
business to pay up dollar for dollar
without regard to compromise. The
old account with the debtor had been
closed years ago, and so each individual
member of the firm found himself cred
tied with handsome sum by way OF
dividends, We are not permitted to
give names, although cognizant of all
the particulars.

hundred men and boys, and seeming

he told the following story: al started
