TBE QUEEN OF A
Her Tragic Position in 1885 Won All
Hearts and AwOke Spanish
ChivaIry.

The day Alfonso died, November %,
1885, Maria Christmas tragic position
won all Spanish hearts. The king had
outlived his brief hour of popularity.
He was too young and frivolous to
measure the consequences for so dem
ocratic a nation as Spain of to-day Of
a frivolous reign. He could be brave
as BELTS a man of his birth, which he
proved in the smallpox plague and
the earthquakes. But his real pre-
occupations were bull-fghts and firt-
atoms. Instead of the serious SOW
ereign Spain needed she had only a
mediocre rake, and whatever may be
thought to the contrary, nowadays at
least, the rule of the rake is none of
the wisest. And so Spain was once
more on the verge of a revolution. But
death at % is considered a tragic ex-
piation of the foIlies of youthtide, and
the country only remembered the
kings extreme youth and regretted it's
unfulflled promise. His errors were,
after all, the errors of impulsiVe and
passionate nature, without a bride to
its desires, and no higher ideal than
the enjoyment of the hour. Spain saw
but the corpse of a young man., beside
which knelt a young widow.
Spanish chivalry awoke when the
Spaniards reflected that this young
widowed queen was a foreigner, a wom-
an on the point of motherhood, whose
fate was in their hands. When the
prime minister, Senior Canovas, came
into the mortusry chamber to tender
his resignation, the newly proclaimed
regent, terrified at the immediate pros
pect of her responsibilities, cried to
him: mo, no, don't talk to me of bust
ness matters, at least while Alfonso
is here" But she was even in that
awful hour made to understand that
affairs of state may not yield to private
misery, and as Reina Gobernadora,
though her eyes were full of human
tears in the presence Of a human I'M
happiness, she was obliged to take the
oath of allegiance to the kings sue
cessor and to the laws of the country,
which she confded to the new minis
ter, Senior Sagasta-Good Words.

incident that occurred a couple Of
years ago in south Georgia. 1 was. on

tine business at a place a little farther
up the road. In the course Of our talk
he pointed out . man az the other end
of the car and asked me if / knew who
he was. The individual he referred I'd
happened to be a whisky drummer
from Chicago, who had a ~singularly
clerical appearance, and merely as a

Mormon elder.

comment, but began a very interesting
description of turpentine culture, and

stood upon her hind legs and run me
