THAT BLESSED BABY.-Early this
morning the palace was astir and Duke
de Sexto sent out equerries To advise
the Premier and the Ministers that their
presence was required i'll the palace.
1t was an anxious day i'll the ROYAL Al
caZar of Madrid. as hour after hour pass
ed in a state OF uncertainty until night
fall. No impotence was shown i'll the
or )wd and very few l. arks of loyalty
we're given in the evening. As soon as
the word went round that a princess
had appeared, some disappointment
was shown and the people began pretty
fast to dispense just as the gun were
fired and the tiags run up on the flag
staff froM which hung in the dark night
a bright white lantern. Inside tie pa :
ace there IA more animation than in
the street as the summonseS sem BY
the Mayordomo and the Duke de SeXto
had rapidly brought in the distinguished
company of about two hundred persons
of rank that were waiting in different
antechambers when King Alfonso, ac-
companled by Sagasta and his col
leagues. by Duke De SeXto and his mill
tar, and civil households. entered from
the door lea ling to Her Maiesty's
apartments. and behind the King came

waiting and the only lady present, bear
ing on a silver tray. amid lace and silk
trains, the little baby Inlanta. King
Alfonso took the child AMI held it up
for All TO gaze 1T the little newcomer,
and His NJ ijesty really looked very
much satisfied and seemed to desire
every one To have a look at his daugh-
ter. He vas very enthusiastically CON
graduated by foreign ENJOYS and by all
present. Conspicuous was the greeting
OF Marshal Serrano as the King passed
him and smiled. Then the child was
handed to the Marchioness and disap-
peared. while the Minister of Grace and
Justice drew up the usual deeds. The
noble assemblage promptly dispersed
as the evening was far advanced. and in
the streets they found large crowds re-
turning home past the public buildings.

For EXERCISING CLERK.-We
beg leave to advance the name OF
Mai. Warren j. Barrett for the position
of engrossing Clerk to the next House
of Representatives,. Maj. Barrett was
the Democratic candidate in this county,
for clerk of the Superior court at the last
election but was defeated BY IA small
majority and we are heartily in favor
Of his being the next engrossing
clerk. He is well qualified to till the
office. He is a life long Democrat and
was wounded in the wal and w think
it nothing but justice that he should be
given this office. Let our Legislators
think this over and give Maj. Barrett the
place.-kinston Free Press.
Maj. Barrett is a clever gentleman,
and makes an excellent engrosser.
