Amusing Phase of Cnstiiian Character
Exhibited by Cabinet Crisis.
The Cabinet crisis which took place
in Spian in 1888 exhibits an amusing
phase of Spanish character. The minis
terial crisis had existed almost year,
when the resignation of the Cabinel
took place as the result OF Trivial
question of military etiquette. Inc
Queen had left Madrid for an excursion
to Valencia, which the Minister OF JUS
tice insisted on her making, according
to the published arrangement, lest the
| postponement should be construed as
a sign of fear of the Zorillist repuDll'
cans. who had convoked a mass meet
ing in the same city. The lnfanta lsa
bel. who was left to represent her, de
cided to take a journey also, and In
formed General Martinez Campos ina
her sister, the Infanta Eulahe, woui'
give out the military watchword. Th'
military governor OF Madrid rephe.
that the married infanta was not legal
" competent to perform that office, an
that 1t was impossible, according e
military rules, for him to receive I'd
parole from her husband, Prince Al
J tonic. Due de Montpensier, who wa
only a captain in rank. The Ministe
, of War. who was not on good term
: with the captain general, sent brusQt

General weyIer's Love Romance.

General Weyler is a republican, u
follower of Castelar,, and, although
one would not suspect it from his rep
utation. has always been an advocate
of Spanish liberty and the aDontlon
of the throne. He Is as much reared
nv the Carlists as by the Bourpons'
and the latter fear him more than Don
Carlos. although l understand he mas
recently and in person pledged ms
loyalty to the queen regent.
One of my friends among the OIL
GERS of Ceryera's fleet tells me tnat
| Weyler demonstrated his repuplicah-
ism at his marriage many years ago,
and makes the hero of romance po.h
sensible and sentimental. when nc

managed to make out com1ortapi

sically and mentally, but had no NOR
education than her class, and that wa
confined to reading and writing an
the lives of the. saints. Weyler d'
termined to marry her,. although
/ knew that such an act would aiieha
him from his family. Nevertheless
invited the officers of his garrison
attend the ceremony and to accoi

The absence Of commercial morality
Is one Of the great deterrents to the

perhaps a significant fact that for
years past the correspondents OF the
English press have CLOSED over or
failed to refer to the things which have
been perfectly well known In weil-in'
formed circles as to the corrupting In
fluence of the successive governments
which have ruled the country. Little
or no reference has been made to the
bribery and Justification Of returns, thu
place-hunting and log-rolling, the in
flation Of the civil service for politica
ends, and the handing over OF tn
schools to men morally untitled to b

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-lt is with
pleasure that / add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves OF your val
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
moor. 1 had leucorrhea badly, and o
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could 40
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
SITUATIONS were very profuse, appear

but it seemed to do no good. l was
becoming alarmed over my condition
when I read your advertisement IN

Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it who'll
