JAMES, Proprietor, lllgeréoll Spain fills the world's eye at present, and is passing through such social and political changes as to command some- thing,r like an historical examination; then there is a permanent contradic- tion between what the Spaniards Wish to be and what they can be; between their aspirations for liberty and their traditions of servitude. However, it is only in the interior of Spain that the intimate, real life of its inhabitants can be studied; its grandeurs and its mis- eries detected; it is in the rural, the agricultural districts, that this reliable knowledge only is to be found, by Con- versing with the laborer, the petty landed proprietor, the farmer, and the artisan; by journeying on the back of a mule along those path ways that do duty for roads._ M. Leo Quesnel has made the tour of Spain in this manner. and supplies most interesting details. As in Sicily so in Spain, hamlets, farms, and isolated manors are unknown ; the agricultuist has to seek refuge in the towns, and undertakes distances of miles to sow his land, reap his crop, and transport it to the granaries in his home. ,, To act differently would be to expose the fruits of his labor to the first robber that came. The streets 01 the country towns are not paved; some large. stones Serve that purpose, and _when one is upheaved, the hole is left unfilled. There is nothing in the way ofllighting, save a dismal oilâ€"lamp, to render darkness visible; occasionally at a crossing a lamp is placed in a niche where the statue of some saint reposes; and the. statue does the dumL thus not only of a lamp post, but aim that of guardian of the peace, because the image inspires respect to evil doers. Burials appear to be conducted in a very ofii, hand hianner ; this is the case of child- l ren, their remains are carried to the cemetery, before a neighboring tomb~ stone, till the grave digger has leisure- to attend to them, the friends retiring very satisfied, several coffins are thus to_be encountered above ground, and as a, portion of the coffin lid is in glass, to allow of the features of the departed to be seen, the spectacle is repulsive when decomposition has set in. The wind- ing sheet is composed of blue paper, as aei'ng value-less, it affords no tempta- tion to be stolen. A state of war ap pears to be natural to Spain, and rareâ€" ly creates emotion among the people. Neither peasant nor citizen would think of leavingr his home Without firmly ad- justing his knife in his waist~belt, so that when quarrels arise, there is but 1 little distance between the hand and this_ instrument. ' Neither authorities ino’r lookersfon give any attention to the individual quarrels constantly aris- ing in the fairs. which are viewed as a kind of duel, the vestiges of the age of chivalry and of free manners, common .a‘ _...... to all classes and conditionsfifl men. After one of these encounters the vie-- tor leaves his victim where he has fal- len, coolly wipes the blood of? his kmfe in‘the fold Ofllis mantle, and pro. ceeds tranquilly to slice his melon and his bread, with tho blade that. killed A vivid flush on the stern bronzed face; A tear in the large blue eyes; Thenâ€"back to the world and its talk again Custom closed chlll‘o’cr the instant‘ paln, For thought were a folly and memory vain: In the path that. before them lies.

The Agricultural Colony of Mettray will ever le associated with its late noble founder,. M de Metz, Whose hio‘ graphy has Been written by M.

In Cadiz, for example, ix is not uncommon for very respectable people to obtain admission {or the aged memjbers of theirfamily into the city hospice, which resemblesapulace. there old parents can be lodged like princes, and their children bring them smoking hot meals.

The censure was at , that period very severe. L’Annes Aler- oeilleuse of the Abbe Coyer, might be read with original freshness today in connection with the Woman’s Rights question 5 he most humorously depicts a state of society where the women are changed into men, and the men into ' women. As a rule the fair sex is very severely handled by the .then- novelists ; raillery is overflowing in the-novels of Antoine Hamilton, and the Abbe de Vaisendn laughs wittily at every thing, save the church, women when they are virtuous, and men when they are hona est and serious. Then novelists cen- sidered it a duty to study the human heart, and give min to the fantasies of imagination ; to-day romancing largely work up sad scandals and bad passions. Theophile Gautier’s “ Contemporary Portraits” are well worth reading, as is all that has fallen from his pen; the portraits are a collection of his articles contributed to the press ; they include notices of Funny Elssler, Grisi, Sontag, Paul de Kock, Balzac, Ingres, &c. It looks like omitting Hamlet not to have included in the gallery Hugo, de Vigny. do Mussct, Henri Heine, and G. Sand. Political literature necessarily occu- pies, for the moment, a prominent place, and in drawing attention to Ler dernier dca Napoleon, a production that has made a little noise, it is to ob- serve that such works ought to set forth the name of the author for chivalâ€" ry’s sake, and also if intended to be of ; any importance. The writer has exe~ outed his attack clumsily ; he believes Henri ’V. can alone save Franceâ€"- though France intends to save herself without the aid of an antiquated royalâ€" 1 ‘t'yâ€"nnd inveighs against the revolution 1 of ’89. At that period- there were re f yolutionists of: another order to be i muvuuv. uluul LU UU found in file folly, the madness of the courtiers of Louis XVI, who rendered all comprom'mn, possible between a worn-out and :3. new-born society. M. Hippean has ably examined the clues. ‘ I-n‘ instituting comparisons between the ages of Louis XIV. and Voltaire respecting literary productions, the parallel always ignores the subject of novels and romances. M. Leuandre shows, that as to day, the novels of the eighteenth century, form not only the most prolific part of liter- ature, buffalso the most popular.- It has been observed, that if ever a people lost its history, it would be reâ€"found-in its theatre; it would be more exact to? say, that it would be discovered in its romances and its chivalric- poetry ; for there is reflected, as in a mirror, in the care of France beyond doubt, theimage of her old society~where clash all con- ? trasts ; of that society always extreme 3 in its enthusiasms, creduloust a. far as ' folly," sceptical as fares nihilism ; anti- clerical or catholic ; regalist and revol- 1' utionary ; knowing all disasters as well - as all glories. That which forcibly ‘ strikes the mind in perusing the French l novels ofpast'ages, is to perceive the ’ ideal slowly retiring before science, the ' infinite veiling itSelf from the regards of man, and civilization dragging after ' it the disencl‘mnments of reality. Des- pite the disasters following on the death of Louis XIV, the financial catastro- phies of the Regency, the misfortunes of the seven years war, the, fantasy was abandoned during the 18th century. While philosophers and eminent writers were occupied with the rights of poo- ples and of governments, the sources of misery and of riches, of religion and of science, a crowd of writers was devoted to works of imagination, recalling in certain points Mlle. dc Scudirg, where- in abuses were denounced and griefs set in relief”, but all giving an exact idea of that singular mixture of corrup- tion and generous ideas, of religious freedom and philosophical intolerance, of frivolity and ardent passion in the search of truth, which form the basis of the national temperament. Lesagc, the the Abbe Prevost, J. J. Rousseau, Vol- taire, Bernardin de Saint Pierre have ‘given as chefs-d'oauvrc of observation, passion, irony and profound analysis â€"the contemporaries of every age. and speaking in all languages. But it is to writers such as Marmontel, Florian, &c., that M. Louandre invites atten- tion, and who are not yet altogether forgotton. It is not in the historical novels that the originality of the eight- eenth century must be found, but in the romances of manners, and‘above all the anti-freligi )us novels. In the hands of Voltaire and Diderot, the novel was a more formidable weapon than the «(Dmmwi'nm fl I tial examination of the quesgion of l “ Universal Suffrage and the Sovereign- ty of the People,” will find the subject treated by M. Paul Ribat, wholdoes not admit the first,'and disbelieves in the second, yet does” not wish to destroy either one or the 'other. The severe-3 ignty of the peeple is voâ€"day e; dogma, ‘ 'and universal snfi‘mge‘forms part'of the. mannei‘s bum French nation. The author affith that parliamentary govâ€" ernment and universal suffrage cannot exist side by‘ side; the French desire to feel themselVes governed, and ever seek the man for that duty. He also makes the singulai‘ ohgervation, that .a general election will return deputies favorable to the Relmblic, while a plebiscite Would be in favor of the Em- pire. ' ques. the A weathy Pittsburg Imerchant is reported as having said: “I always feel happy when I am advertising, for then I know, that waking or sleep- ing, I have a strong though silent orator working for me; one who never tires, never. sleeps, never makes mis- takes and who is certain to enter the households from which, if at all', my undo must come.” i in his body, and a local paper says that he was not living when ’found, and life was extinct. The local pa- per was probably right ‘ When they found William Owens, 9! Little? Rock, he had 34 bullet holes ‘ 'Yesterdhy Mlle. Creque moved from ‘the.

On open~ ling herjewelry box she missed *a‘eapâ€" phire ring, surrounded by diamonds, valued at $1.200, that had been present- ed to her on her last appearance at the Grand National Theatre at Mexico; also a. solitaire diamond‘valued at $800 1and a pair of diamond earring and bracelets. 4 She at once communicated her loss to M. Duclus, of 140 East Fourteenth Street, who accompanied her to the Mercer street police station. After hearing her story, Capt. Byrnes, attired in civilians clothes, accompanied by Detectives Slavin and Henderson, went in search of Vion, whom they arrested last evening. They recovered the ring. In Vion’s pocket were found several pawn tickets, which enabled Capt. Byrnes to pécover all Mlle Creque's property.â€"â€"N. Y. Sun. Mademoiselle Paul'iue Creque, prime donna. of the French opera tronpe, ar- rived at the Grand Central Hotel from Mexico on the 28th ult. There she engaged in suite of rooms, and being un able to speak English employed Louis Vion, an attache of the hotel, as. her private servant. Mademoiselle Creque brought with her jewelry valued at $20,000, which she deposited for safe keeping in‘the hotel safe. On Friday afternoon she sent Vion down for a bracelet, two rings, and a diamond necklace, which he handed to her, and returned the key of thejewelry box.

Abraham Lincoln failed to make both ends meet by chopping wood; failed to earn his salt in the galley- slzwe life of'a Mississippi flatboabman; he had not even Wit enough to run a grocery and yet he made himself a grand character of the 19th century. Stephen A. Douglas made dinner tables, bedsteads and bureaus, many a long year, before he made himself a giant; on the floor of Congress. The founder of the New York Herald kept on failing and sinking his money for ten years, and then made one of the mostprofituble news- papers on earth.

The American Journal of Health ' and Medicine says, in speaking of cold ware-rupp‘fied to the eyes, that i the aquatic furore has become so gen- ' eral, tor the simple reason that cold ’ water being a pure, natual product, it is claimed to be a universal and bene- ficialapplication. Arsenic is a pure natural and simple product; so is prussic acid as obtained from a peach kernel. A single drop of tobacco oil will kill a cat or 'a dog in five min- utes. Many persons are daily ruin- ing their eyes by opening them in cold 'water mornings, Cold water will harden and roughen the hands, and much more will it do so to the manifold more delicate covering of the eye; or the eye will, in self-de- fence, become sca‘y in the manner of a fish; that is the coats of the eye will thicken, constituting a species of cataract, which must impair the sight. That water, cold and harsh as it is, should be applied to the eye for cur- ative purposes, in place of that soft, warm, lu ricating fluid which nature manfactures for just such purposes, indicates great thoughtlessness or great mental obliquity. Nothing stronger than lukewarm water-should ever be applied to the eye, except by special medical advice, and under special medical supervision. “ No, sah, neber had none. ‘No brudder, no sister, no fader, no moder, no massuâ€"nothin’ but Sam.

But the aged invalid is so careful of his health, and the young wife is so careless of hers, than it. is now uncertain whether she will inherit his storehouses, or he inherit her wedding‘ rings. a But delicate people are shy of peril, they know that disease has been fishing for them for twenty years, and they keep away from the hook.
