point, and, perceiving the danger of implant-


ing republic among people so tenacious of


their rights as are the Spaniards, hesitate to


become parties to the new departure of the Ber-
lin statesmen. The action of Russia will have,


however, no influence in Spain. As we have
pointed out, the chief value Of this recognition


will consist in the facilities it will give the
government for cutting of supplies from the
Carlists And as the supplies are chiefly if
not wholly derived from France and England
the refusal of Russia to join in the recog-
milton will not influence perceptibly the
affairs of the Peninsula. After passing
through many trials the Spanish Republic
now enters period Of recognized existence,
and there is reason to hope that the moral
effect of the recognition OF the new form Of
government will have a favorable effect in
bringing the civil war to close. 1t may have
the effect Of persuading such persons as are
not enamorcd of fighting for Aghting's sake
of the useessness of continuing in arms for
the cause of Don Carlos. Never was sword
drawn for more hopeless cause. As well
might the few scattered clansmen who in the
Scottish Highlands still preserve traditional
love for the memory Of Prince Charlie hope
to win back the crown for the Stuarts by aid of
their broadswords as for these Biscayan peas
ants to think of placing Don Carlos on the
throne OF Spain. While we admire their gal
lantry and devotion it is impossible not to re-
gret that their energy and courage should be
wasted in hopeless cause, and in one which,
could it succeed, would be fruitful Of misery
and evil to themselves and their children.
During all the years that kings have reigned
over Spain they have done little except to de-
grade and rob the people. With the perma-
nent establishment Of the Republic will come
peace, education and contentment When
the inhabitants of the northern provinces
have once enjoyed the freedom that will be
secured to them by republican institutions
they will become as firm defenders of the new
order of things as they are now sturdy and
persistent enemies Of the Republic.

A meeting of the leading and tax

that city on Friday last, Of which the

before was there SO large an assemblage,
for any purpose, in Mobile, and never
one consisting of such material. The
business houses and offices were closed,
with scarcely an exception-if there was
any exception. Although the weather
was unfavorable, the crowd was unpre-
cedented-greater even than that which
convened on the same spot, on a men,
orable occasion, twenty-four years ago.

of all citizens, who have due regard
for their legal and constitutional rights,
by all the means in their power, short
of the exhibition of force, to vindicate
and uphold the right of John Reid, jr.,
aud his associates, to administer the
city government of Mobile during the
current year, and to resist all usurpation
of their said rights, come from what
quarter it may" And to this the Reg

any man can consent to pay one cent Of
tax or license to the usurping authori-

as follows


IF only one OF, a good way
would be to hoist him, by means
of a long chain attached to his

feet from the ground. Then hoist
him by a pole tied to his horns

BIsMARcK's DREAD OF THE CONCEALED PAPERS.


The reason oftnIs second arrest is alleged 10 be
that Count Arnlm has prohted by his liberty to
take steps for the publication CT state papers in
his possession, and moreover that he Is person
ally required 10 present himself again for exami-
nation before Judge Pescatore, who appears TO be
really conducting the case OF Prince Bismarck
while ostensibly appointed TO pronounce judi
cial decision upon It. Such Is the reason alleged
for the cruel and arbitrary act just perperated
Berlin; but the real cause which seems TO have
led up to IL would be laughable II the whole story
were not OF too grim . nature to suggest humor-
Gus aspects OF II.


THE PRINCE CHANCELLOR NERVOUS AND UNHAPPY.


IL appears, however, that on the afternoon OF
his second arrest Count Arnim and his wife took
drive in an open carriage in the Tniergarten,
or public park or Berlin. where they had the mis-
fortune to meet Prince Bismarck, who was dis
pleased with the festivity OF their appearance
and said that .'if the Count was well enough to
drive about he was we'll enough to 60 back to JAIL"
have told the story, and l can voucn tor Its
truth. People may now smile or sigh over it a.
they please and as smiles are more becoming
than signs, perhaps some few may smile.


TEMPORARY FREEDOM


Whether Prince Bismarck has, nevertheless
been made sensible that he has acted In manner
aL once fierce and ridiculous or not, cannot say
but on Saturday, the 14th inst, Count Arnim was
released FROM the custody OF the police, by order
OF the City Court OF Berlin. But the Count has
had to give his word OF honor that he Will not
leave his house before the day OF his trial. although
physicians have certified that fresh air and ex-
ercise are Indispensable to him. The motives for
this queer act OF severity are unknown. or un-
avowed, and 1t looks very much like


KILLING 4 MAN BY INCHES


Moreover. the sad and deplorable truth seems to
be that Prince Bismarck. who continues to exer.
else absolute power IN Prussia, is really afflicted
with morbid sort OF restlessness Quarrelling
has become a necessity or existence TO him, and
IS he has been Tor some time trying in vain to
bring about another war abroad, and both France
and Denmark have declined TO give him the small
est pretext Tor recommending hostilties. he has
been obliged to content himself with private and
personal dispute at home The Won Arnim case
is not one which IN the smallest degree concerns
the interests OF Germany. Every incident Of it Is

THE SECOND ARREST OF THE ACCUSED


There Is no truth In the reports which have been
printed in the London and other European news
papers to the effect that the charges made against
Count Won Arnim had been formally communal
Gated to him and his legal ADVISERS for the pur-
poses OF the defence. ON the contrary the
secret inquiry Is not vet closed. and
the wearisome method OF official procedure
AFFORD no glimpse OF the date when 1t IL likely to
end. On Thursday last. the 12th inst. the Coun-
Gil OF the Royal Municipal Court OF Berlin decided
that Count Arnlm should be again arrested, IN
accordance with paragraphs lS3 and 34s Of the
Criminal Code. 1t was an extraordinary decision,
because the Count had only been liberated few
days previously on sick certlncates, and bail TO
the amount OF $4,000 had been deposited with
the Court for his temperance when called up for
judgment. Nevertheless, about seven O'Clock In
the evening, when the ex.An.bassador was at
dinner, Police Inspector Borman entered the
Counts house, In the Pariser Platz at Berlin, and
presented the warrant for his arrest.


PAINFUL SCENE IN A PRIVATE DoNIcfLE


The scene which then ensued was one OF the
most painful description. The Count, who Is really
in shattered health, was seized with a 6t OF trem-
bling at the unexpected shock to his nerves, and
the heroic 6rmness which the Countess Arnim
has hitherto manifested during her husbands
troubles deserted her. AS soon they had par
tally recovered their composure Count Won Arnim
informed the Police Inspector that he was physi-
caly unable to go with him TO prison. He said
that ne had no Intention 70 resist the Law, but ir
was simply Impossible for him TO obey 1t In his
present condition. Under these Distressing cir
cumsrances Police Inspector Borman had no other
course open to him than that OF summonng the
physicians OF the Court to examine Count Arnm
and to certify whether he could or could not be
taken back to Jail without imminent danger to his
lie.

MIR. Cobleigh says that when he was
married he weighed 40 pounds, and a
fonrteen-inch band was very comfort
able on his shirt. But now that he
weighs 1S0 pounds it naturally follows
that the collar bad should be proper
tionately increased in size; but his
wife totally disregards this equitable
conclusion and persists in making four
teen-inch bands to his new shirts. In
consequence, Mr.. Cobleigh experiences
much distress in getting the band but
toned, and very frequently is obliged
to call in his wife to help him, which
that admirable woman never fails to do
by buttoning the skin of his throat in
with the button. The fact that these
bands are only fourteen inches when
they should be fifteen is source of
another, and, if anything, much greater
aggravation than bringing these ends
together. The band sits so close to his
neck at it not only endangers his life
by shutting off his breath, but renders
the attachm Mt of collar an almost
hopeless undertaking in that it leaves
no space to insert guiding and
sustaining finger. Last Sunday morn

was twisted into grimace expressive of
the most pregnant suffering. In this
condition he was making herculean eff
forts to encompass his object, and was
failing most signally. Anyone simply
studying his face without catching as
much as glimpse of his fingers could
accurately measure his successes. There
was first the look of suppressed interest
as he brought the two points together
without having either slip-which grad
ually merged into one of hysterical
doubt as the hole partly slipped over
the button-and this succeeded in turn
by an expression of quivering expecta-
ton as but one move more remained to
accomplish complete success. Every
nelve in his body tingled at this point,
every muscle was stretched to its great
est tension. He gave the last pressure
