HIS Wife Saved Him.

Long and YEARLY had his anxious
wife waited, when at last the hus-
band entered and, with his frame
convulsed with anguish, threw him
self into chair, and burying bis
face IN his hands, groaned:
We are ruined: t0-morrow's sun
viii see the proud name Of jenkins
among the list of hopeless bank
rupts
Then out spoke the noble wife
&" Say not so, my dear Peter all7is
not lost. We have gone without ice
for the last three months, and here
Is the money you gave me for the
ice-man," and she placed $4,000 on
the table.
The worn, weary face OF the hug
band lighted up with JOY as he ex-
claimed:
Maria, you are daisy ii we
had gore without gas for the same
time, 1 would have retired from bus
mess. .n-BoSton Bulletin.

A Remarkable Engiishman.

One Of the most remarkable men
in the British Parliament is Joseph
Arch. Fifteen years ago Arch was a
common farm laborer, supporting
himself and family on 81 week.
His wife could read and write when
he married her and she taught him
all she knew. After learning to read
Arch spent his nights reading every
thing be could get hold Of He be-
gan organizing labor unions among
the farmers and speaking 20 them
This made him disIiked by the land
lords, and il was a difficult matter
for him to get work. Last summer
the new franchise bill made voters
of 10000 tenant farmers. and Arch,
for the first time, found himself a
free man. With plucky audacity
this newly-emancipated serf stood
for Parliament, and was elected over
the great magnate, Lord Henry Ben
tinck.

A Royal Scandal in spain.

A scandal growing out of the ir-
regular amours of the late King Al
fonso, which was winked at during
MS life aud suppressed by common
consent after his death, Is now Civ
ing trouble to his executors The
young King is said TO have had ma
nv affairs OF gaIlantry with various
kinds of ladies, especially during
the period in lS7S-79, intervening
between the death Of Queen Merce-
des and his marriage to Queen Chris
tine.
Ii was at. this time, when the roy
al widower was not yet twenty-one
wears old, that he met the Signorita
Borghi, who was then a singer Of
lignt roles at the Teatro de La Ear
zuela, the opera comique of Madrid.
King Alfonso had hitherto only VS.
tied the senorita occasionally, but
he became annoyed at her swarm OF
admirers, and be established her In
a small castle near Madrid and be
came her sole protector.
A few months later be was mar
ried to the Archduchess Maria Chris
tina, OF Austria, and his visits to
the Borghi castle became less fre-
quent. Senorita Borgni has child
OF which she claims that King
Alfonso Was the father The child
l5'a boy and several months older
than the baby of Queen Mercedes
Ii he had been born in wedlock TIE
question OF the Spanish succession
would speedily be settled in his
favor.
The senorita does not claim that
the boy is legitimate, but she is max
ing stout fight in his behalf. She
mas sued the Kings executors for
the Maintenance of her-elf and son
in suitable state, and she produces
various documents in which King
Alflnzo promised to give her the
castle in which she lived and to
make suitable provision for herself
and child IN any event The exc
cutoIs say the the child's claim Is
baseless and that the pretended
letters from King Alfonzo are forger-
les. 1t Is probable, however. that
the matter will be privately COM

scandal affecting a King Of Spain.

Truths of History

Our esteemed Stalwart contemporary
the ST. Louis Globe Democrat is always
doing something " amoosin'." Its mis-
sion seems TO be to keep its contempt
raries in . good humor by starting out
to prove some one else's ignorance and
winding up by proving its own. 1t has
q genius for launching out upon alleged
non.partisan discussions and ending
by showing that it is thoroughly satu'
rated with partisan and sectional pre- L.
dice. During the commencement sea-
son in the South the literary societies
.t several of our institution Of learning
were addressed by northern men OF
prominence. The Globe Democrat takes
up one of these addresses and the
manner in which it was received,
and treats US to an article that
is hardly less remarkable for its imper-
tinent than for its ridiculous features.
From the caption and Introductory SEN
tence of the article we are led to infer
that we are to have an unbiased
and philosophic discussion of "Some
Truths of History" But before getting
fairly under way our contemporary says
that those who listened to the address In
question probably heard several things
about the great conflict that were new
and suggestive to them," and proceeds
to assume that they are young men
who have been born since the war, and
whose ideas of the causes and meaning
Of q struggle in which they had no part
have been derived entirely from south
ern Sources" This assumption is fol-
lowed by q rehash of the address, and
the whole article is topped off by the
declaration that I" there were two sides
to the great war between the North and
the South, and one was forever right
and the other was forever wrong"
That the South has her prejudices can
not be denied. Nor can it be denied
that there are things she might learn to
advantage. But what is true Of the
South in this respect is also true Of the
North. We hail with pleasure the ap-
pearance in our college halls or on the
stump of any northern man who dis
cusses great principles and "great
truths Of history" Such discussions
cannot fail to benefit our people and
hasten the day when the statesman will
supplant the demagogue. But the
North would be no less benefited by
having southern men 60 to that section
and give their views on great principles
and great truths Of history. The ideas
Of northern young men as to the causes
and meaning Of the great struggle
might be considerably modified by
hearing the other side and the
northern people generally might hear
from southern speakers several things
that would be new and suggestive. The
South has accepted the results Of the
war in good faith; but when the st.
Louis GlObe-Demoerat or any other
paper assumes that she will accept its
statement that the North was entirely
right and the South was entirely wrong
it makes grave mistake. When any
paper assumes that the South is any
less enlightened as to the causes Of the
war than is the North it displays woful
ignorance.

Matters.
CORRESPONDENCE ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
DANvILLE, June %, 1856.
Mr.. John Ii. Schoolfield was elected
q member of the Council at our last
municipal election, and some time ago
he was elected president Of the Danville
and New.River railroad. According to
the unwritten law Of the citizens Of the
Third Ward councilman may not be
a railroad official. AS soon, therefore,
as it was announced that Mr.. School
field had been elected a railroad
man it was understood that he would
not qualify as q member Of the Coun-
Gil, and gentlemen of the Third Ward
began to cast about them for successor
and to sgitate the subject with all the
enthusiasm of political canvass but
it has been suggested that Mr.. School
field has sixty days from election in
which to qualify, and that the proba-
bility is that he will not accept the
presidency of the railroad. In that event
there are certain gentlemen in the city
who will feel slightly chagrined.
The Home for the Sick is a godsend
to this community, and patients re-
ceive the best possible attention.
At late meeting of the Grays, Mr..
w. A. Matthews, late Of Richmond,
read the following poem, which he had
dedicated to the memory of the late
Captain Bossieux, of the Richmond
Grays;
Our little city on the Dan,
The badge OF sympathy displays,
And mourns the brave and gallant man
Once captain OF the Richmond Grays.
The tears we shed. oh, Richmond fair,
For him, thy son so true and brave,
Are borne by different waters where
They meet and mingle on the wave.
Then weave, oh, fellow comrades, weave,
A garland for your chieftain's bed;
We sympathize with you and grieye
Because your noble captains dead.
No more his voice you Will obey,
His sword hangs sheathed upon the Wall
Your chief Is cold In death to-day,
And grief hangs heavy over all.
DR.. Harvie has been elected surgeon
of the Danville Blues. ELLA.
