The ROWDY KING OF SPAIN.
Young Monarch Made Life Almost
IntOIerahIe for His Mother,
HORACH GUARDNER.
Secretary

Madrid, Aug. Queen Maria
Christina, mother of King Alfonso
accompanied by the Infanta Maria
has left here for Vienna. Ever
since the young king ascended the
throne there has been discord be,
tween him and his mother. His
conduct toward her Of late has
been 50 disrespectfQl, not to say
brutal, that it has given rise to
stories Of mental alteration as the
only explanation.
1t has been reported that he has
utterly lost his respect for his
mother, and curses her if she tries
to cross him in any way. He once
went so far as to ring for an officer
of the guards to eject his mother
from his presence, when his con-
fessor, who had been called, enter
ed and succeeded in subduing him.
Since then the queen mother has
refused to see him except in public
and has passed most Of her time in
prayer.

FOXY POLITICIANS.

The democrats of this section
and the democrats Of the territory
at large should bear in mind that
the republican party in Arizona
has abandoned all the tactics Of
the lion and adopted those of the
fox. No more does that party de-
pend upon open contests with po-
liticaI adversames, but does de-
pend upon sowing the seeds of
diSsension in the democratic ranks
through its agents, labeled " Dem
ocrat" and equipped with republi-
can sinews of war to do this very
thing, hoping to win success by
such hoped-for dissension. There
is no question about this, and any
man with six inches Of memory
or one iota Of reason could see it
without being told. - Prescott

A LETTER FROM MARK ON PUB
LILO ROADS.


1t seems that the people of Greene
county have lost sight of the fact that
good public roads, ferries, bridges and
public buildings speak very highly
for the thrift and enterprise of peo-
pie. We can easily tell q good cook
by the condition of her kitchen. if
everything is in its place, and in ap-
ple-pie order, we know at once that
she Is a good housekeeper and good
cook. We judge a sluggard by the
tumble down condition of everything
about him. Will not this argument
prove equally true in regard to the
public highways, ferries, bridges,
mile posts, signs, etc., of any To-
oality, If 1T does, then we, the people
OF Greene county, must stand CON
demned for want of enterprise and
energy from the fact that there is
hardly deoently worked public road
In the county, and if there is sign
board or mile post, l have forgotten
when saw it last. We have a very
nice and convenient courthouse, and
no road to tin few hundred yards
of this courthouse there is a place
that one half of the year is almost
impossible. [ recently saw a lady
bog her horse and wagon down and
get her dress and shoes all messed
with mud and water trying to get
out, and at last had to call for help.
Does this speak we'll for the pride of
our officers and people. tell ye nay,
and unless we get our roads in better
condition we shall all tumble in the
bog,
Good roads, ferries and bridges
saves time and money and keeps OK
drivers from saying cuss words at
times; keeps preachers on the right
way to their appointments. 1 mean
strange preachers, who have not be-
come acquainted with our way and
manner of roads.
Once presiding elder was to begin
q series of services at the Methodist
church at Leakesville on Satu rday at
II a. m. He missed his way, how
ever, and didn't arrive at the church
till O'Clock p. m. He didn't only
miss his way, but he came near miss
ing his dinner and the congregation
missed good sermon Such as this
may cause this matter to be called up
in the great Judgment day, when all
manner of neglect may be made pub
lie. 1t is an awful thing to think that
we, the people of Greene county, are
in great measure the cause of peo-
pie missing good sermons, and of OK
drivers saying ouss words. Must need
be that offenses come, but woe unto |
him by whom they come.
Is there no way to get out of this
rut. Can't we make our property
more valuable by showing to the
world that we have some pride and
thrift about u.s. by getting our high
ways and ferries in such a condition
shat we will not be laughing stock
for the outside world. have heard it
