The Rightful King of England.

1t is curious fact, and one that is
not generally known, that King Victor
Emanuel was, by the strict law OF sue
cession, the rightful King of England.
He was descended in direct line from
Charles L. The youngest daughter OF
that unhappy monarch, the Princess
Henrietta Maria, married CASTOR dor
leans, the brother of Louis XIV. She
died leaving two daughters. The eldest
became Queen of Spain, and died child
less. The younger married the heir to
the house of Savoy, and was the ances-
tress of the late King of Italy. After
the revolution of 1888, when the right
to succession to the British throne was
settled by act of Parliament, the house
of Savoy was excluded on account OF the
Catholic religion professed by its men,
bers. The house of Hanover, of which
Queen Victoria is the representative, was
several removes farther from the direct
succession, deriving, as it did, its claims
from James L., through Queen Eliza
beth, of Bohemia, and her daughter, the
Electress Sophia. A striking COM
mentary on the consequences of human
actions is afforded by the story of royal
inheritance. When Charles l. espoused
a Catholic Princess he could scarcely
have imagined that by this act he was
excluding his direct descendants from
the throne of their fathers; and still less
could his Queen have foreseen that any
descendant of her favorite child, so care
fully trained by her in the tenets Of her
own religion, should ever overthrow the
temporal power Of the Pope, and be
himself installed upon the throne

In regard to Judge Whitaker, Senator Howe
