UNHAPPY SPAIN.
The Revolutions She Has Witnessed
Since 1914.

Since 1914.
A French paper publishes list of the
|risings which have taken place in Spain
since the year 1914. In that year there
was rising in Catalonia; in 1916 guer~
rilla insur :ection at Corunna; in 1919
military conspiracy at Cadiz, which Vas
followed in 1920 by a revolution extend
ing over the whole Of Spain, In 1922
there were riots, accompanied by much
blsodshed, at Cadiz; an alb solutist rising
in Navarro and Catalonia; and street.
fights at Madrid. In 1928 the French,
under the Due d'Angoulene, marched
into the country to suppress the insur-
rection, notwithstanding which there
were another military revolt IN 1925 at
Blhuega and further absolutist risings
in Catalonia and Aragon in 1927. The
constitutionalists rose against the govern
ment in 1880; and in 1888, after the death
of King Ferdinand, began the first Car
risings at Madrid, Saragossa, Seville and
Barcelona against the clergy; several
hundreds of monks we're murdered and
twenty monasteries burned. In 1887
military Instructions broke out at
Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, CO.
diz, Valencia, Carthagena, Seville.
Heres, and San Ildefonso, and
in 1888 at Bilbao, Pampeluna, and Irun.
In 1910 Espartero made pronuciam-
ientO of that town and military revolt
lat Madrid. Risings took place against
Espartero at Barcelona in the following
year; and in 1913 Alicante and Murcia
broke out into instruction. The con-
script laws caused risiags in Catalonia in
1945, in the provinces of GaEcla and
Leon in 1916, and at Madrid in 1848,

OLD LETTERS.

It seems but Yesterday she died, but years
Have passed since then: the woudrous change Of
time - 90
Makes great things little. little things sublime,
And sanctifies the dew of daily tears.
She died, as all must die: no trace appears
In History's page, nor save in my poor rhyme,
OF her, whose life was love. whose lovely prime
Passed sadly whore no sorrows are, nor fears.
It seems but yesterday: to-day read
A few short letters in her own dear hand,
And doubted ii 'twere true. Their tender grace
Seems radiant with her life! OH can the dead
Thus in their letters live? tied the band
And kissed her name as though kissed her face.

A New York correspondent of the
Baltimore american says: Leaving the
matter of morality out of the question,
has Charles Il. Beckwith found it worth
while to steal quarter of million dol
lars? Previous to ten years ago he WAS
a bookkeeper in the employ OF Rabbit,
the soap manufacturer lie had control
of the purchases OF materials for the
factory, and his relation to the business
made it possible to abstract over $780,
900 from it in five years without the
loss being felt by his employer. Beck
with was very religious-a deacon in
a church and superintendent of the Sun
day school. a cooler or more calculat-
ing robbery than that which no perpc-
trated | have certainly never heard
OF. Neither sudden temptation nor
oppressive need OF money actuated him.
He stole the money methodically in
sums just large enough to aggregate
$4,000 year, taking thousand dol
lars a week with the regularity of
wages He did not risk the cash in
speculation, but invested it SO safely
that it has never been discovered. He
fixed the limit of his thieving at five
years, and when that time expired he
| resigned his position and made a show
OF going into business for himself His
plan undoubtedly was to let his posses
sion OF wealth become known so grad
ually that it would seem TO have been
acquired by honest success in now en-
terprises. But, though Rabbit was so
rich and unobservant as not to feel the
immense robbery, Beckwith's successor
was sharp enough 10 soon discover that
there had been something wrong in the
management. He called attention to
this, and long investigation resulted
in the complete exposure. At this point
tho thief was given choice between
taking punishment for what he had
done and giving up the fortune which
he had stolen. He took week 10 de-
eide, and consulted with competent
lawyers, who assured him that convic-
ton was certain if he went to trial. 1t
was equally forcgone, too, that his term
of imprisonment would be twelve years,
or the longest provided by the law. He
concluded not to give up the money.
al am innocent, he said, with his
Sunday School manner, 'and have not
stolen money to restore.
1.-The trial was a mere formality, so
clearly was the case made out against
the prisoner. lie employed able law
yers, but they could do nothing eifec-
tually to save him. He went to Sing
Sing under a twelve years sentence,
and has just quietly emerged, good
conduct there having shortened his
service. IIo disappeared so quickly
and quietly after his release that the
papers made no note OF it. Rabbit
thinks he went to Canada, and de,ec-
tive who has lsbored great deal in
the case surmises that he is in England
by this time, the impression being that
the money was invested there. Any
how, he has gone to begin life anew,
with nothing but the money to do it
with. l repeat the question: Has
Charles Il. Beckwith found it worth
while TO steal quarter of 4 million?

CoLrs.-You cannot beat and swear
colt into good horse. This course has
been pursued ever since the first few colts
we're foaled, and the universal verdict is
tina. il is 4 lamentable failure. Even they
who whip the hardest and swear the loud
est will agree TO that verdict. The Arab,
as is well known, bring the horse to such
marvellous perfection Us characterizes
Arabian horses through the exercise Of
unyarying kindness from the time the
colt is fealed until the horse dies. Tho
family and the colt accupy the same apart
nj hn O,ul &c ut n
times perfectly familiar with the voice
and touch of those about him. He fears
nothing, for there is nothing to fear. lilo
learns from the very beginning that man
is his friend and protector. The idca of
master, which obtains among us, is never
entertained In Arabia, while in truth the
Arabian is more truly and perfectly the
master of the animal than We are. We
are apparently satisfied with the name,
and with what satisfaction comes from
acting the role of the tyrsnt, while the
Arab seeks the reality and does not aspire
tr be- tyrsnnical.
As soon rs we learn the important les
son which Arabian horsemanShip teaches
we shall have more good horses and shall
be better satisfied with ourselves. We
shall then find the colt broken ut tho time
we now usually begin to break it, for
from the very commencement of Its exist
cncG We shall begin to accustom it to trap
pings which will resemble the harness,
until when the time come for turning the
play into reality, the work will have all
been done. This should be the aim OF
every horse breeder. The confidence Of
the colt should bc carly one, and it can lie
won much easier in colthOOd than 1t can
be when the time has arrived that we now
call the breaking time.
The age 1T which Il colt should be put
to work should be when it has suhstan-
TALLY obtained its growth, or rather when
il has become perfectly developed. The
most OF our colts are put to work too
young, especially if they have grown
rapidly 1t may be said that our colts are
usually broken from one to three years
sooner than they should be.

a Sure Enough Ghost.

Excitement runs high at Canajoharic'
n. Y, owing to the nightly appearance
of ghos,ly, mysterious light along the
Central railroad track. The light starts
from An old fort and is at first very
small. 1t gradually increases in size,
and goes down the railroad track about
three feet from the ground. The night
watchmen say that a hand can be dis
tinguished about it. Sometimes the
light goes bounding down the track,
and again rises thirty feet in the air.
Several trains, including the Atlantic
express, have been stopped by the light,
believing it to be danger signal, 1t
appears about 1890 p. M, just before
the arrival OF the fast mail. Fifty per.
sons lay in ambush in the vicinity one
night in hopes OF fcrreting out the mat
ter, but the light did not appear, but
the night watchmon and Others vouch
for the truth of its appearance usually.
Railroad men arc filed with fear and
superstition, aud dread to approach the
spot at night. Some say it is fore
warning of a railroad horror to be en-,
acted in the vicinity.
