Queen Mercedes, Death.

There will be worldwide sympathy for the young king of Spain ID fhe sad loss he has sustained in the death of his girl wife.
 Unlike most royal marriages that of Alton Iso with Mercedes, his cousin, was 8 eenu- inc love affair. Their courtshlp lasted for two years while Mercedes was still at school. and the first telephone introduced Yin Spain, one of Bells instruments, was be- tween the palace of the king and that of the Duke de Montpensier, the father of his 3betrothed, for the benefit of the royal lov- yers. The marriage was celebrated on the 23d of last January with great ceremony. aud with general rejoicing throughout the kingdom. It was regarded as especially auspicious because it bound Montpensier, who had himself been an aspirant to the throne. to the fortunes of Alfonso, and ID this way did much to tranquilize the stormy politics of Spain. The queen was most lovely character, and as beautiful in person as in life. she was of good size. we'll form ! ed. of very fair complexion, with soft, ha- gel eyes and long, dark lashes. She was 
 not an industrious or intellectual student,
 but had a charming disposition that won
 for her the sffection of Der schoolmates.
 Alfonso, from childhood, had called her his ''little wife," and to obtain an opportu. nity for declaration he ran away with her ! in state carriage. after bribing the coach
 man. In less than five months after heI marriage her bright young life has ended
 l She died grasping her disconsolate husband
 with one hand while with the other she held Ia crucifix, and with her lips was repeating
 a prayer. While It is natural that the sad
 ending of a life of SO many possibilities fol
 happiness and usefulness should occasion
 universal regret and sympathy, it is by nc
 means certain that the short lived queer
 was not as fortunate in her death as in hel
 life. How much happier such death
 than life like that of the exied and dis
 graced queen, Isabella. Cou

A New Natural Wonder.

A new mammoth cave has been discovered it is asserted, in Wyoming Territory that bids fair to equal, if not to eclipse, the fla nous cave of Kentucky. A dozen herders placed wind-lass near the mouth of the cavern, on Table Mountain, some weeks &since, and lowered one of thelr number, carrying lantern, to the depth of near 100 feet. A passage 200 feet long led to the subterranesn chambers and vaults of vast size, too many and too diversified to form any exact idea of. The roof was from 60 to 70 feet high, studded with stalactites varying from afew inches to twenty feet in length. The floor was covered with cones and stalagmites, the stalagmites and stalactites, joined in many places, making quaint and picturesque columns. The for
 nations of rock are represented as sing
 ularly curious, and varying in quality, colol and shape to degree that has not been seen elsewhere. Some partial explorations indicate that the cave must be of immense size, and full of the most interesting geo. Illogical phenomena. It is said that party of scientific men will soon visit 1t, and give an account of their explorations. It is high time that we had a new and wouder- full cave, for the Mammoth Cave has los
 its novelty, and needs rival in the fal west. t" .."a .t
