NEW YORK society is not little surprised
at the announcement of the snnulling of the

great-granddaughter OF the late Hoo. Rufus
King, aUJ oes. DUhayls- H~HaiIto..- Gen
HaaItou is a SCARED veteran. He was aid
| to Gen. Scott in Mexico, was left for dead on
| the field of Monterey, and served in the re-
bsliiop. He has been burned dfty-f times
up and down his spine 20 cure the results of
| wounds. Troug b we'll adv in yesre, he
is very active. He lived some time in Ja-
maics, but of late has resided in New York.
He met Mics KING at her home in Jsmsics,

This ia a curious rumor which comes from
Madrid that the young Queen of Spain,
"haying ascertsined the relations of the
King with lady of the royal circle" has
| taken her two children and fed beyond the
borders of the realm, never to return. All
| the outward basis which the rumer has, SO
far as the Americans are concerned, is fur
nished by the fact that the Queen passed
| through Paris on. Wednesday with her
| children on her way to meet her mother at
FranZsnsbad. But ii is said to be all over
the contine Mt and 10 have caused great scan
dal in Madrid. 1t will be the more generally
| believed on account of the known friskinsss
| of Alfonso and the equally well-known aus
| tere views OF his royal spouse upon the SUBJ
| ject Of proper kingly conduct.
PENDING the latest appeal by the city of
| New Orleans 10 the United States Supreme

| is epdeavoring TO secure a msndamus order
| ing the mayor 10 levy q tax on all city prop
| erty, along with other taxes, to pay her jude-
ment of $1,000 900 already obtained. "The
| City Council, however, says the Times Demo
| Graf, "has already fixed the tax rate for next
year, and passed the necessary ordinances.
| This ordinance provides for tax OF two per
| !,
| police, gss, etc. Mrs. Gaines's petition for a
tax to pay the judgment, therefore, will hsve
| TO go over until next year. She has obtained
her judgment, il is true, but it ia very diff
| cult 10 see what good it is going 10 do her, az
she can never execute ii. The Council will
| never consent to vote this money TO pay this
| claim, which the city ia msnifestly in no way
responsible for."

daughter, was, during the great trsgedian'r
| tour in Germany, the object Of a degree oil
curiosity and attention which displayed a
