Opening Of the Spanish Cortez--
The King's Speech.

MADRID, Dec. 15.-King Alfonso
opened the Cortes this evening with
the usual ceremonies. In his speech
the King deplored the. late insurrec-
ton among the military. Referring
to his recent journey, he declared the
object was to pay debts of friendship
and affection and strengthen the
bonds of friendship between Spain
and foreign nations. The sole result
of the incidents which occurreddur-
ing the journey, he said, was to in
crease the cordiality of Spain with
other countries and provo ke on my
return one of those manifestations
which is only possible when mon.
arch and his people are united in one
sentiment, and which sufficiently
compensated for the excessive grief I
was caused by the late insurrec-
ton. Our relations with
foreign powers are excellent,
You will Fl ID testimony of this cor
diallty in a note published in the
Official Gazette in regard to the state
of our relations with France and in
the visit of the Crown Prince of
Germany and also in the beneficial
effect produced by the protocal signed
with England to improve commercial
relations between that country and
Spain as we'll as any negotiations
now proceeding for the conclusion of
treaties of commerce with Portugal,
Italy, Denmark and Netherland.
Spanish commerce possesses even a
greater interest on the American
continent. Our representatives to
the States of South America have
been Instructed to consider CONNER
cial treaties with the governments to
which they are credited. We have
opened negotiations with the
United States, which if successful
will permit the products of Cuba
and Porto Rico to enter that popular
market.

THE YELLwSTONE.
DAISY r.

The Yellowstone flows peacefully
Der pebbly bed, with rich, sweet sorx,
While dancing streamlets gleefully
Join in the chorus full and strong.
Low, grassy banks, where pine trees tall
Are mirrored in the waters clear,
Contine the stream in gentle thrall
And prove the haunt for bear and deer,
But, hurried on by restless power,
The river rushes on in scorn
OF narrow, rocky walls that glover
And shut out sunlight rays of morn.
In maddened haste the water falls
Down! down the rough and rocky height;
Its emerald sheet, by cruel walls,
Is dashed to foam of snowy white.
Then, gathering up its shattered pears,
1t hastes away in reckless glee,
Until, again, its flood it hurls
Down awful depths, DER bank and tree.
And now, the foaming, dashing spray
Bolls up in rage at baflled race,
While sunbeams kiss the drops in play,
And 10. rainbow takes the ir place.
The tIreless stream, with zeal uncooled,
Glides on through Natures rarest scene.
Its ribbon course, by grace still ruled.
Reflects rich shades and evergreen.
The painted walls. of wOndrous depth,
With surroundings still and lone,
Make all who come, with bated breath,
Stand awe-struck by the Yellowstone.
