political intrigue, taking, among other
serious forms, that Of promoting dis
LOYALTY in the army towards the young
king, awful natural catastrophes, throw
inc down cities and destroying many

the present condition Of Spain which
excite the sympathies of her friends and
provoke their fears af another revOlu-

much injured by sudden and violent

authorizations Of trouble is the serious
u sickness Of Alfonso XII, the young mon
arch who wearily wears crown the
anxieties Of which assist the progress of
his disease. Should he survive this
year it is not probable that it will be, for
the whole period, in his present posi-
ton Evidences Of his unpopularity
abound, and the army, the main sup
port Of his power, is said to be honey
comhed with republican sentiment. A
sick man is not likely to conciliate and
lead the only force which can maintain
his power.
The unfortunate king is, however, o
soldier by profession, and this, such as
it is, is something which suggests the
possibility of his maintaining his hold
the crown longer than he otherwise
could.
He was born as recently as November
IS 1857, the son Of the then reigning
sovereign Of Spain, the famous or infam-
Gus Queen Isabel, who abdicated in 1868
4 to the great relief of the country. a
provisional government succeeded this
\ revolution, which in 1869, was followed
by the Regency of Marshal Serrano. In
1879 Prince Amadeo, son Of the king OF
\ Italy, became king of Spain. He resign
ed the crown in 1878, and returned to
Italy. Then came the republic, and at
the end Of 1874, the proclamation of Al
ionso MI as king. In January Of the
q next year he assumed the dignity to
which he had been called, amidst the
b united good wishes not only Of his own
d country people but of England and other
nations; Of England particularly, be-
cause there he had studied the art of
war, at WooIwich, near London, and
had made many friends.
OnJanuary %, 1873, Alfonso married
the Princess Marie-de-las Mercedes,
daughter of the Due de Montpensier
II she died the same year, and, in Novem-
i per, 1872 the young widower married
the Archduchess Marie Christina, OF
4 Austria, by whom he has daughter
