AS SEEN AND SAID IN SPAIN.
Some Interesting Translatfons from the
Spanish Press.

pune interesting EXAMINATIONS from the
Spanish Press.
The st. Joseph (Mo.) Herald culls
some interesting items firm Spanish
newspapers Of recent date. From Eel
Heraldo of Madrid it quotes this:
''All the troops of the yankees are in
the far western part of the country,
many thousand miles from the Atlantic
coast. There are only a few thousand
men all told, and they are i'll
paid and not willing to fight. To
utilize this force it will be necessary to
bring it to the seaboard. There is but
one railway by which it can be trans
ported, and that is an old, poorly con-
strucUed affair. AT one place tins road
passes over Niagara Falls, a catarac5
1000 feet high, near Labrador. At last
accounts the bridge at this place was in
very dangerous condition. 1t need
surprise none to hear that some agency
had made it still more so. It would
serve the hateful pig, of Yankees right
if their miserable army was thus drown
ed"
In another part of The same paper a
correspondent suggests that the Spanish
deet make a quick run from Cadiz TO the
American shCre-which he says could be
1one four days-and DO nbard "Ckica-
go'' Chicago and other seaDCrts.
The Diario, another Spanish newspa-
et-evIdentIy similar to our yellow"
iournals-issued an extra with the fol
towing statement: "The yangee presi-
dente, MAJ gnlY, committed suicide for
fear that the Spanish fleet would capture
New York" The next day it corrected
this, saying that he died from wounds
inflicted by brave Spaniard. The Dia-
rio also distinguished itself by publish
ing biographical sketch of President
Mckinley in which it says: "Magginly
is naturalized Chinaman, having been
born at Canton"
Ell Pals, another great journal of Mad
rid, recently said, editOrially:
st is pitful to see what children,
what weaklings the Americans are. They
are as unable to care for themselves as
infants in arms. Yesterday there were
no less than two railway accidents IN
America, the total victims being six.
They are ignorant of the use of steam,
aud their telegraph poles are continually
blowing down"
Specializing upon what Spain should
do with the United States when she
has conquered this nation the Ell Pals
says:
''The country is not fit to live in. The
climate is execrable. When 1T is not
sleeting or showing the heat is almost
unbearable. Ayalanches are frequent at
all times, and these threaten the princi-
pal cities. AS for the people, besides
the few whites engaged in business
along the eastern coast the remainder
of the country is one vast plain covered
with indians, called cowboys, and great
herds of roaming CATTLE.
! In one of its recent issues Ell HeraldO
says:
"News is brought to us that Buffalo
Bill, notorious outlaw and leader OF
a band of half breeds, has risen against
the American government and is burn
ing towns near his birthplace in New
York. "

Thackerar and BlacIkwood.

The elder Blackwood seldom or never
missed good contributor to Maya, but
the instinct of his sons was scarcely 50 I'M
erring. In 1910 they received an offer of
some papers to be entitled 1.-THE World We
Live In ono politics, as much fun and
satire as 1 can muster, literary lath and
criticism of a spicy nature and general
gossip, explained the writer and signed
his letter CIV NJ Thackeray." The ''Yel-
lowplush Papers had been published al
ready. Nevertheless this offer was not &C
cepted, and the Roundabout Papers" APP
peared elsewhere.
The Irish Sketch Book and the Great
Hoggarty Diamond" were also offered and
met with the same fate greatly to the
profit of Fraser's Magazine, where they
were gladly accepted The greatest edi-
tors, like the greatest generals, are those
who make fewost blunders but it is diff
cult to understand how the shrewd liter
airy instinct of the Blackwoods failed them
in this instance. Perhaps affection for the
traditions of Maya made them slow to
realize the change in popular taste Chris
TOPPER North had enjoyed tremendous
vogue, but his fantastic and boisterous
style was beginning to lose favor with the
public. Nowadays few people care for the
"Noctes," except for their associations,
and Thackeray has thousand readers for
every one Of the great professors. The
reason for this is suggested in one Of Mrs.
ELEPHANTS carelessly constructed SEN
fences: perhaps q man cannot get so
much from his own age, and at the same
time from the hands OF posterity. LONG
