Lese Majestic in Germany.

From the London Chronicle.
The statistics of lese-majeste-theF French
expression is handler than the German
have just been overhauled by newspaper
in the Fatherland. During the last ten
years the culprfts who have taken maj
esty's name in vain. or sketched majesty in
manner calculated to throw ridicule upon
him. or otherwise forgotten the divinity
that hedges their anointed one, have served
no fewer than thirty centuries of imprison-
ment between them. Assuming that each
criminal served three months in prison or
fortress, this gives us the respectable fig
ure of 12000 seditious Germans. The num-
Der, perhaps, is not a large one when we
remember how many millions of the unim-
pfisoned there must be who never speak
OF the emperor but with respect.

then to become question Of domestic poll
tics between the Queen Regent of Spain and
the cortes as to the propriety of her action.
1t is of course desirable that there should
be no difficulty or disagreement whatever
concerning the cession OF the territory.
The matter is of too serious Importance to
be complicated by questions of procedure.
and the government Of Spain should dispose
of the question PROMPTLY and satisfactorily.

A Sentiment From Spain,

l wish that they would hasten
And get that payment through.
For time is getting precious now;
There's business to do.
We feel the lack of money
AS we've felt it oft of yore,
And We hail this new suggestion
OF way for getting more.
We have soldiers in abundance,
And perchance we'll make them yield
A dividend like this whene'er
We put them in the field.
We will supply the market
AS new demands occur
With any number of defeats
At fifty millions per.
