orderly town in the State; that the Mayor
court is seldom in session, and that the
corporation has but one policeman" etc.
The town is very orderly one, 1 admit,
but it is not owing to the great promptness
and energy displayed by said Mayor or our
lone policeman ut is altogether owing
to the disposition of our citizens, both
white and colored. The Mayors court is
seldom in session-not that there is no bus
iness to attend to, but the Mayor has too
many irons in the fire; he is Mayor, deputy
Coroner, Health Officer, only practicing
physician in town, examining physician
for several lodges and holds other offices,
believe, in those organizations. The zone

sition is Tax Collector, agent or collector

but not least, a politician. believe his

THE DEAD KING.

Gathered to His Fathers.

Gathered to His Fathers.
While the people Of the United States ars

dricks, those of Spain are bewailing a ma.
tional misfortune of kindred character
On Wednesday last, November %, the same
day Mr.. Hendricks passed away, Alfonso
Kill, the consumptive young Spanish King,
died at Ell Pardo, near Madrid, after two
days of intense suffering. His health had
been in precarious state for some time and
the constitutional weakness of his physical
organization has been we'll known, but it
was Tuesday morning, scarcely twenty -four
hours prior to his death, ere he would per-
NIT knowledge of his alarming condition
to be communicated to the royal family and
the officers of his Cabinet. The scene at
the death bed was very affecting. The last
sacrament of the Catholic church was ad-
ministered at 7:30 O'Clock 4. NJ, and at 8:45
the royal sufferer expired in his wife's arms,
while his mother and sisters knelt weeping
beside the couch. The King had expressed
wish to see his little daughters, but they
we're in Madrid and did not arrive until at
ter their father had expired.
Alfonso XII was born November %, 1857,
the second Child and eldest son of Isabella
II, then Queen of Spain, who was dethroned
in September, 1868, and left the country
with her family, taking up her residence in
France, where she has since lived. A Pro-
visional Government succeeded the revolu-
ton, and was in turn followed in 1869 by the
regency of Marshal Serrano. In 1870 Prince
Amadeo of Italy was chosen King of Spain,
but he resigned the crown in 1873 and went
back home. Then came the Republic, fol-
lowed in December, 1874, by the election of
Alfonso as King. He was crowned January
8, 1875, and has occupied the throne since
that time, giving the country an admins
tration as peaceable and popular as is pos
,sible in revolutionary Spain. His concsrn.
for the happiness of his subjects. his brave
conduct during the recent cholera epidem.
ic, and the successful termination of the
still more recent controversy with Germany
relative to possession of the Caroline ISL
ands combined to increase his popularity,
and he dies almost universally beloved by
the Spanish people.
In January, 1873, Alfonso married his
cousin Princess Marie de las Mercedes, who
died the same year. In November, 1879,
the young widower espoused the Archdu ch-
ess Marie Christina of austria, who sur
wives him. They have had two daughters.
the elder of whom, Princess Mercedes, aged
5 years will be proclaimed Queen, under
the regency of her mother, unless the ex-
pected posthumous child should happen to
to be male.

HER TENDER HEART.

She gazed upon the FURNISHED brace
OF plump ruffied grouse he showed Wit
pride
Ane elic grief was in her fave
How could you do it, dear?" she sighed:
The poor, pathetic, moveless wings,
The songs all hushed- oh, cruel shame!"
Said he, 1.-THE partridge never sings.'
Said she, 1.-The sin is quite the same:
" You men are savage through and through:
A boy is always bringing in
Some string of birds eggs, white and blue.
Or butterfly upon q PIN:
The angle-worm in anguish dies,
lmpaled the pretty trout to tease
" My own, We fish for trout with flies.'
Don't wander from the question please"
She quoted Burns :. Wounded Hare"
And certain burning words Of Blake's,
And Ruskjn on the fowls of air,
And Coleridge on the water snakes.
At Emerson's = Forbearance" he
Began to feel his will benumbed;
At Browning's Donald utterly
His soul surrendered and succumbed.
"Oh, gentlest of all gentle Rirls"
He thought, !" beneath the blessed sun!''
He saw her lashes hung with pearls.
And swore to give away his gun.
She smiled to ind her point was gained,
And went. with happy parting words,
(He subsequently ascertained)
To trim her hat with humming birds!

Written for the CHIEF.
BERNARDO.
By M. LOCKE.
Bernardo. dauntless soldier of the night,
Upon the ramparts Of old Denmark's wall.
Nobly thou did'st thy part and voiced the hour
ly call
What time Prince Hamlet saw with horrored
eye
His fathers wrath in moonlit majesty.
Thou cam'st but once upon the shifting scene,
Thy stay was brief, thy lines were all too few.
But set, Bernardo, thou did'st win my heart
For that thou vert a soldier staunch and true,
Like to some humble part ON life's great stage
Yet done so nobly that the God above
From out the ranting actors of his times
Selects the lowly player for his love.
