THE day Of Spanish Court amours seems
not TO have passed and even the King kicks
up his heels and sings "Jersey Sam" with
magnificent disregard Of the Queens feelings
and the moral law. The following dispatch
OF the 24th indicates that the young buck
who squats on the throne Is bent on being
rs absolute as his ancestors /: "The infidel-
tiles ofthe gay young King Of Spain continue
to be the general topic Of discussion. Among
the Spaniards IL is held that Queen Chris.
tiana's German nsceticIsm has suffered an
incurablc wound and hereafter their Catho-
lie Majesties will live apart. Her Majesty,
they say, is q German bluestocking of the
highest cultivation, fine musician, O lin
guist and perfectly amiable, bnt slightly
arctic In temperament. Alfonso's favorite,
on the contrary, Is a Spanish beauty whose
accomplishments are of more spontaneous
order. One thing appears 10 be quite as
snred-the young King will not be cured OF
his predictions, but means to be merry
monarch, and In the pursuit of his bent will
have the approval of his people, who regard
the present affair as the most agreeable joke
they have had since the paimy days Of
Isabella. Senior Arano. editor OF the
Liberal and a member of the Cortes, was

MIDNIGHT WHIPPING IN BUTTE.
A Man Suspected of u Heinous Crime Flag

The Inter- Mount lin Of Saturday SAYS: IAN
organization in this place known through
out the Territory as '3-7-77,' last night took n
man by the name of Harry Gundy out into
vacant shaft house in the edge of town and
administered sixty-four lashes with cat-taiI,
infiictIng terrible punishment and terribly
decorating his body. The cause Of such ex
treme measures is that Gundy on Thurs
day morning made a brutal attack on the
little ten-year-old girl of citizen of this
place, and although he failed in his villain
Gus designs he considerably bruised and in
jured her. Gundy had fair trial in the
presence of his victim and other witnesses,
and confessed the crime After the cbas.
and told to perpetually absent himself from
the city, on pain of severer punishment"
Mondays nter-Mountain says the item of
Saturday evening was gathered under cir
cumstances which rendered it impossible to
give more than one side of the story, and
says it cannot be established that Gundy con-
fessed the crime. Anyhow, Gundy returned
Monday morning, and his friends were very
not only in protesting his in
nscence but in denouncing those who had
beaten him. Sheriff Irwin very properly as
serted that the man should not be molested
on the streets until a proper complaint was |
lodged against HIM when Gundy would be |
arrested and held for legal examination. |

SHERMAN'S SORROWS.


WASHINGTON, June ga Washington
special says: General Sherman Is very un.
happy man. A high army officer who has
known him well declares he Is not what he
seems in his bluff and hearty interviews. In
the first place he really hates to give up his
position of head Of the army. 1t has been
his sole occupation against melancholy in
bitter domestic disappointment. He is the
very life of certain Washington circles. He
has always been the hero In every social
gathering all over the country. 1t Is true
that he has tired of Washington, and that he
Is anxious to 60 to St. Louis. A soldier
still, be puts good face on the matter, but
this blufness does not conceal from his
friends the deep-seated chagrin that preys
upon him.
The dispatch goes on to say how disap.
pointed the man was when his son Joined
the Jesuits. Mrs. Sherman Is Q woman who
has the utmost personal ambition for the
advancement Of her church. She is one of
the most active agents and Is in correspond
ence with the authorities at Rome. General
Sherman made struggle to remain In Wash.
ington after his retirement from the army,
but Mrs. Sherman determined to get to St.
Louis, where the Catholic Church has wide
and powerful influence, In which she could
have the most influential and leading posi-
ton.
During the last days of his stay In Wash
ington, the General has been seen walking
with his hat carelessly slouched over his
eyes; the figure which has been so erect, has
learned within the last six months to stoop.
Those who have approached him with an
idea Of his being gloomy have always been
repelled with some rafting but brilliant
chat indicative Of the highest spirits. When
he Is settled In St. Louis, Mrs. Sherman be.
lieves that she will win him from the frivol-
tiles of this life and get him to find salvation
In the holy Catholic Church. The General
Is growing old. In the dull regions of st.
Louis he may fall prey to his wife's per-
sistence, and for the sake Of peace 20 through
The form of joining the Catholic Church; but
up to the present time Sherman has got
along without any religion whatever. He
laid recently: ~ do not think I need any
priests crutch with which to hobble the rest |
of the way 10 the grave, but I can't tell what |
may happen In the future" He Ii now of |
IN his last free play spell, and 1t Is to be
hoped he will have good time on this last |
'ound Of his military posts.

OTTAWA, Juna 23.-The government has
