How the Infanta of Spain was
ChriStaned

A foreign correspondent Of New
York paper writes: The wife Of
diplomat told me how the new born
infanta came to receive the name of
Mercedes. King Alfonso wished her TO
be SO called. He was overruled, be-
cause Queen Isabella is on bad terms
with the Montpensier family, and was
on worse terms with them during the
triumph of Dona Mercedes. The list Of
names was to have opened with Is Maria
Isabella Jacinta." Queen Isabella has
repented bitterly of the uncharitable
spirit which she harbored against her
first daughter-in-law, and has done
penance 10 expiate it. She felt that she
ought to make still greater sacrifice.
AS godmother, she was asked to name
the infanta, which she carried in her
arms with maternal pride to the font.
Instead of saying Maria label" ETC.,
she said: Maria de las Mercedes Isa-
| bel Theresa" In letter , the Temps,
from its Madrid correspondent, it is
| stated on the authority of an official
present, that the king was moved to
tears when he carried his little daughter
into the room where the great digni-
| taries of the state and the ambassadors
were waiting to see her. The new
born babe was in gold basket-an
heirloom of the Spanish monarchy
and lying on silken cushion, quite
naked. A gauze veil was thrown over
the babe, who was perfectly tranquil
and coiled up. Each witness lifted the
gauze covering. The king was not able
to speak, and hurried back to the queens
room with his precious charge directly
the ancient-anj, to an affectionate
father, trying was at an
end. Queen Isabella ordered the bap,
tismal suit in London, at the baby linen
warehouse patronized by the royal
ladies of the English court. 1t was Of
white satin and Honiton lace, and q
Honiton lace veil, and was very costly.
The ladies at the christening were in
trains and low bodied dresses, and
crowded on their finest jewels.

From the Trade Journal, New York;
IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR TRADE.

IMPORTANT TO THE C1GAR TRADE.
We have recently had our attention called
to new and important Improvement In the
manufacture of cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revolutioniZe the cigar busl-
Eess, we have had one of our reporters, who
Is specially conversant with the tobacco and
cigar trade, to interview the inventors and
patentees. The invention was patented May
A. 1878, by Messrs. j. s. A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years experience
in the cigar business. The cigars are made
principally Of the very best seed and Havana
tobaccos, with closed tucks, and amongst the
advantages they possess over all other cigars
may be mentioned: A positive retention OF
tho aroma of the filler-its loss by evaporation
being impossible. A better, quicker and en-
tireiy round light; and they will not break
when carried in the pocket. These are advan-
tages which will be recognized by every
smoker as being OF the greatest importance.
IN short, it m y be said that Messrs. j. Il A.
Frey have made very decided hit with their
new idea. No one can properly realize the deli
cacy of the flavor and aroma of cigar made
in this way until he makes a personal trial,
and this we advise our readers, whether in
The trade or not, to do. Even in the appear
auee of the cigar there is something novel and
attractive, the small, neat twist, which secures
and faslens the whole, being decided i'm
Iroyement. Though the new patent cigar has
been tor suoh q short time before the public,
there are already indications that its mauutac-
,ure in the skilltul and experienced hands OF
The Messrs. Frey will prove wonderfully sue
soasiul commercial enterprise.

RAIDER aud E%3nJec Reversed, EppeI
OF son and Leeper Affirmed 1.lJ
Aside from the Dan. Potter case
mentioned elsewhere. the supreme
court yesterday acted on four other
upper East Tennessee cases. ..a .....
The case of w. Fl. RAIDER, the young
man who killed "Dag") Thomas last
winter in dispute about the purchase
of box of collars, was reversed and
sent back for new trial, on the ground
that the evidence showed the deed
to have been 2 committed in the
heat of passion, hence it could not be
murder in the first degree. The YER
dict of the court below was murder in
the first degree and imprisonment for
life. The prisoner will be remanded
to jail at Blountville to await a new
hearing. Judge Mcfarland delivered
the opinion. .s.. 4. 4. -.-.ss. s.,s
q John A. Epperson, of Hancock
county, stood convicted of murder,
and was sentenced to ten years in the
penitentiary. He was the chief oper>
at0r in that fearful family feud which
occurred in Hancock something over
year ago, in the Epperson family,
publication OF which has been made,
and which resulted in the death
OF EppeIson's father, by his (John's)
hands, and also the death OF the
mother and sister, by random shots.
It was truly the bloodiest chapter of
crime on record in this part Of the
country, and the details, as recited
briefly by Judge Cooper, in delivering
the opinion, were blood curdling and
revolving in the extreme. The GEN.
tence Of ten years in the penitentiary
was affirmed, and that certainly seems
light for such a crime. Epperson is a
youthful looking man, slender and
not very desperate in appearance. He
has only one arm, his right arm being
off near the shoulder. "@"
The sentence of David Leeper, col.
ored, of Hawkins county, to three
years for house breaking, was affirm
ed. -.s @ ..#..
Deaderick Branner, the coiored boy
convicted for robbery at the Holston
house in Rogersville, and sentenced tC
three years, had his case reversed and
remanded. Judge Cooper delivered
the opinions in these two cases.
Branner was taken up on yesterday
evenings train by Deputy Sheriff W
F. Gibbs to Rogersville, where the cir
| cult court sits this week.
