of a common phrase, both the young

Duke de Berri, heir to the throne of
France, ami became the motiiei >t

Spain, and ga\ebi th to Isabella 11..

sister, the Duchess of Montpensicr.
Let lis take both Caroline and Maria
Christina for the text of our re
marks.
The former left the theatre in I' -

18*20, to drive home. Her hn-band.

Boui bonists with dv 1* ions joy. Tho\

ever since given him the name of tiie

gave birth to f. child, and then c m
ft s.sed that she had been privately
married to Count LnehcSsi Ibtli:.
'This destroyed every *eutinieut of
chivalrous compassion which the
struggle of a brave woman for the
rights of her son naturally produced
and she returned to her hushaitd lien
or atterwards to appear in political
alfairs. Her escutcheon was blotted.
Maria Christina, who married Fer
dinand \ 1 i of Spain, prevailed on
her husband, to whom she had borne
two children, both females, to an ul
the salic law, which prevailed in
Spain as in France, and to bequeath
his sceptre to his eldest daughter,
Isabella,; and failing her to her sister,
I'on a Louisa, the Infanta, now the
wife of the Due tie Montpensier.
Louis Philippe's youngest son. This
was done, and the ancient Cortes of
the kingdom were summoned to rec
jognize and swar fealty to the heir

government, which she successfully
held—with the exception ot the brief
i interval when Lspartero s star wa- in

j Ha was declared of age.
From May, 1841, till August, 1543,
j Lspartero governed Spain. During
this time Christina took refuge in
1 Paris, and was courteously enter
jiaiiied by the King of the Frencii—a
: •lisliiictli.n tjj no means entirely diit
jto her Ihairboii blood. Iler children,

'and natuirilly, unbounded influence,
were tin Queen an 1 Infanli of Spain ;
and Lotus Philippe was far too

Christina's return to Madrid was
a triumph from coast to i apital. But
: i spot on her escutcheon, like that
whic.i doomed her sister, could not

Although this marriage was not pub
licly acknowledged until ten yeai
after wards, when,in 1844, the guards
man was created Due de Bean zeros,
yet it was pcrlectly understood in
court circles. From the moment
that this misalliance was known

are a series of busts of the I toman
emperors, which, as a physiognomic

the light falls in a proper direction,

a remarkable representation of Fran

grandfather. It is the bust of the
Emperor Nero, and i- one of those
marvellous instances of the presence
of the same face reappearing after
hundreds of years. More lustful and
avaricious than his prototype, he was
also a more perfect dissembler. "Qui

people.
In Spain there are always two
governments: one ostensible and re
sponsible, the other hidden and irre
sponsible; one in front of the Cor
tes, the other behind the throne; one
making laws, the other preparing
hindrances, I'he former is the Cabi
n lit; the latter the Caniai ilia. They
are the chronic diseases of Spain,
these Camarillas. Their movements
ate occnl!; their intercourse with the
crown illicit, their action on the na
tion criminal. But they have exist
ed ever since the Bourbons first en
tered Spain, and Isabella's of Mar
fori, her favorite, the Archbishop of
Trianaopolis (Father ('lavet), her
confessor—for the ex-Queen is very
devotional, and always when at the
E scoria! heard midnight mass within
the horrid chamber, < I Pudridero. of
dead sovereigns—and Sister Patro
cinio, the bleeding nun. If the Queen
in 18(>8, would have returned to Mad
rip without Marfori, her ministers
would have guarantied '-.the situa
tion." She was at her watering
place. Her five living children—she

was her indecision that at live i\ m.

The A rciibishop was restive (he had
with him church property valued at
51,000,000, stolen from the Kscoriul);
Mil fori cross—arrogance and hat
red bursting IY< in his visage; thi
i;u:i weeping and praying;"an ' i-a
bella contemptuous, a look of fallen

Madrid, throw the Prince of Austria

a IJimno, of which the following is a
translated vetsc, was sung amidst
wild applause, in Madrid:
"Down wjth the Bourbons, down!
The very stones do cry:
From end to end of Spain they shout,
'We'll courtlier or we'll die.'
Without a home shall wande.%
As the scorned Hebrew race,
As an outcast from Iter country,
She of the si tameless lace.''
The ex-Queen has severs! times
attempted during tin e l ist 11 w
years to recover her hold upon the
{Spanish people. It has been useless.
Instead ofwa-hing the "li/ige sale" 1
of her household, all her explana

Of the young Don Carlos this can

"Modem Theory of Force."
I.asL evening Professor Youmaus.
the di.-tingished scientist and editor
ofliie i'opular St irrc Mtmthl;/. de
livered his lecture ou "The Modern
'theory oi Force," at St. •liun< s llall,
before one of the largest audiences
of the season." I'roli -sor Youmans
illustrated and explained his subject
throughout by the aid of several dia
gram-. and although ihe lecture v.ns
in the highest degree interesting and
instruct ive, tiie general opinion seem
ed to be that at times it w as altogeth
er to difficult to follow the t a read of
argument.
The professor be era n his lecture by
stating that the first grand step to
ward establishing the unity of the
universe was taken about two centu
ries ago when Newton lirst discover
ed the law of gravitation.
The second advance was made
about a century later by the new in
sight into the developments of ani
mal life, and the third and last siep
was taken in our Cwn generation by
the establishment of the doctrine of
forces. In dealing with the subject
of forces it is neeessa- y to begin our
investigation from the first and -ini
ple-i manner in which force is exert
ed, and also to furnish some general
illustration of the same. The true
and only -tailing point then is the
force evolved in the rising and fall
ing of any body of matter. One of
the best exemplifications is the work
ing of a trip hammer operated by wa
ter. To lift the hammer a required
height necessitates a certain rise or
exertion of the motive power, and
when it descends the water falls, o>
the force is reproduced in the effect
with which the hammer strikes the
underlying substance. The time, as
well as the force expended, must also
be taken into consideration. The
great principal of force is that, no
matter to what exertion it is subject
ed, not one particle is destroyed, but
there are equivalents all arouud.Thus.
take a locomotive, for instance; a
certain degree of heat is expended to
produce the molecular motion of
combustion, but the force thus ex
pended receives an equivalent in the
solid motion which it gi?es the en
gine. Force is as indestructible as
mat tor,-the great foundation on which
all science rests. Djify a 6entury
ago it was tir-t fully recognise d that
matter changes, but i- never destroy
ed. To arrive at an intelligent
knowledge of the actions of force,
we are bound to go back wln re it be
gins and follow it closely when it
e-capes.
Percuss on and friction* ari pro
ductive of heat; but in order to ap
$1.75 A YEAR
preciate how one force is converted
into another, two questions must lw;
asked and answered.
First what dte flie charg ■*? and,'
i second, the amount of the same,
i The mathematical law, accordin r
i to which one force is transferred into
j another, was first brought to light in
1850, and is one of the greatest dis
coveries of the age. Here he de
scribed the clilferent kinds offeree,
and stated that energy of force was
i classed under .wo general headings,
j first, potential force, illu.-trate I by
the dormant power in a ball at rest;
and second, aetud force, or that
; volved in the falling of the bail.
The doctrine of indestructibility,
!continued the speaker, is that the
j amount or sum of the potential and
1 Actual forces remains the saw >.
; throughout the universe. At t! s
point >f the lecture, from a diagram,
; .Mr. Younians de.-crilsl rules relat
ive to the proper unit of force, and
explained the means i.'v fbii/h it was
accomplished. The unit of foce is
1 lb. avordupois falling through a
space of one foot; the unit of heat is
1 lb. oi waver raised one degree Fail.
! and oi>* j unit of lieu* equals 7-72 units
of force. Tiic same .tile wiil hold
good in rcgaid to electricity, gai
vuiii.sin and all other fo"ces. The
lecture then treated ligar a force,
illustrating his remarks fv>m -pee
trum upon a chart before him, and
described the beautiful experiment
>! Dr. (J ivy bar, which showed eon
'elnsively that heat and light lie at
the bottom of one and the same force.
He then gave hi- audi' nee an intelli

In every leaf, said Mr. Yonmuns,

ironies that no man can ever hope to

on it. and n quantity of chc-niicai

and moisture to eifeet germination

the send, in giving life to the plant,
rots and fails back into mineral se

process in incubation, in the develop

declared Professor You nans, which

In conclusion, he asserted that
science was full of the thought of
nature, and should be studied more
than it really is.
If you once get a new diess or a
