THE DEGRADATION OF SPAIN.
Two Names That stand Foremost In q
Long Record Of shame,

Long Record Of shame
The history Of Spain had long been
record of shame The despicable
character of their rulers had almost
quenched the innate nobility of the
spanish people, while the aristocracy
mad sunk into proud lethargy. In the
story Of national degradation at it's
worst, two names must stand together
as partners in political crime-those of
Godoy and Escoiquiz, who sought to
mask their own base ambitions behind
the acts of their feeble creatures. the
King and Ferdinand. Throughout the
whole vile complot moves also female
hgure-that of the Queen-whose coun-
terpart must be sought in the annals
OF witches. furies and hetaerae. But
there were still left uncontaminated
eleven millions of the Spanish people.
they were indolent by nature, had been
fettered both by tradition and by worm
out institutions, and had long groaned
in the bondage of corrupt administra-
ton. With the removal of the Bourbons
all these servile paraphernalia were
swept away. The brothers Napoleon be-
lleved. and no doubt honestly, that pure
and capable administration under a
modern system would soon produce Or
der industry, prosperity, and peace,
and that grateful nation would before
long acclaim it's preservers and enroll
itself as devoted ally against the per-
iidious and tyrannical government of

far this dream would have been real
| lied but for the utter rottenness of the
instruments with which the reformers
worked: the Kings senility, the Queens
lust, Godoy's greed. Escoiguiz's self
seeking, Ferdinand's unreliability,
Murat's ambition, made poor armory
of qualities wherewith to accomplish a
benetlcent revolution. But the one vital
blunder was. after all, not in the use
of such tools: it was in the contempt
/ for nationality shown first in making
! the treaty of Fontainebleau, then in
it's violation by the subsequent seizure
of Portugal, and finally by the occupa-
ton Of Spain by French troops. De-
clarng that more had been lost than
gained by the events which occurred at
Bayonne, Talleyrand says that on the
occasion he Jelly observed to Napoleon
that society would pardon much to a
man of the world, but cheating at cards
never. If this be true it was singing
rebuke and one which touched the heart
of the whole matter.-C"Life of Ma

Marvellous Accssacy.
Many stories Of skill In initiative

probably the most wonderful authentic
case ever recorded. says the New York
Mail and Express. In 1866 Robert
Stewart, a famous master Of penman-

note with such accuracy and reality
that he was waylaid in the streets one
night and robbed of the note by .
ruffian who had seen 1t in his
possession a few hours previously.
Stewart indignant at the treatment 70
which he had been subjected. gave
chase to the thief and, with the assist-
ance of the police. succeeded In re-
covering the sham note. At the sub
sequent police court proceedings NO one
seemed to have the slightest suspicion
as to the genuineness of the note, which
was handed round to the various per-
sons engaged in the case. A few weeks
later Stewart, who was personal
friend Of the cashier of the local (New-
castle-on-Tyne) bank, took the note to
him one morning and asked that It
might be cashed. In return for 1t he
received Ave sovereigns and left the
bank. An hour or two afterward he
paid second visit to his friend the
cashier and. taking him to one side.
