2. She was bis fathers sister.
3. No, according to the Almanach de
Gotha of 1895.
4. Ferdinand VII, king of Spain, who
died in 1888, had a younger brother, Don
Carlos, who, according to the Salic law,
which had been enacted by the Cortes
and which excludes females from a
throne, was the heir presumptive of Fer
dinand. In 1880 the king had daugh
ter born, Isabella, and by a decree he
settled the succession upon her in def
ance of the Sale law. AS soon as Fer
dinand died civil war broke out between
the supporters of Don Carlos and those
of Isabella. Don Carlos was defeated,
and his descendants ever since have been
pretenders to the Spanish throne. The
present pretender is the grandson of the
brother of Ferdinand, if we are not mis-
taken.
3. Weyler is a Spaniard. He gets his
name from German family, but his an
cestors have been in Spain fer some 200
years or more. It is not uncommon for
the statesmen or generals Of country to
have foreign names. The present Ger
man minister of finance, DR. MIGUEL, is of
French descent, and the name of Disrae-
Ii was anything but Euglish.-[Spring-

Dragged US from all we loved with

For fire, or flood, or battle field,
Nor will unto the tyrant yield
