The Epableh'Tbrone.
The Atlantic cable announces that the
Constituent Cortes, or Constituent Con
vention of Spain, which assembled On
February llth, will probably elect Ferdi
nand, the father of the King of Portugal,
and in case he refuses, then. thJ Duke of
Hontpensier will be ch osen.. Ferdinand,
cea f e
ex- ing of Portugal, Is a cousin of the
pre ent Duke of Saxe-Cobourg Gotha,
an of the late. Prince Albert, the le
. ed husband of Queen Victoria. He
w born October 29, 1816, and was-mar
rie April 9, 1836, to Maria IL da Gloria,
Qu n,of Portu a l, who died November
15, 1853. He r ceived the title of King
of Portugal Sep tuber 16, 1837, and on
December 19, 1 53, was created Regent
during the min o 'ty of Pedro y,., which
lasted till Septe h er 16. 1855. , Louis 1.,
the present Kin of Portugal, ascended
i
the throne NQ ember 11, 1861, on the
death of his bro her, Pedro V.
The Saxe-S eld-Cotin g family ap
pear tcy have ed cated the s ns to become
kings and the sbands o Queens, and
in order to suit he differen positions the
young nien, mi tbe called upon to as
sume, one porti n of the line is educated
as Lutherans a d the other portion as
Catholics. Duke Francis of Saxe-Saal
feld-Coburg, who died December 9;1806,
could be claimed as grandlathei by Fer
hdinand, LeoPoldr II of Belgium, Prince
Albert, ' and also by 'Queen Victoria.
Leopold I of Belgium, of the same family,
married the Princess Charlotte, of Eng
land, and wOnldhave been the the husband
of a Queen had she lived to assume the
irsition. , Ile, however, was:elected ruler
of Belgiumwhen that kingdom was crea
ted in 1831. The father of 'Ferdinand of
Portugal married a Catholic Jady, and in
this way a race• ot kings was provided
for countries professing that faith. As a
contrast with these high and mighty dig
nities, it may be remarked that one of the
younger male members - of this fortunate
family, ' Prince Leopold, about seven
years ago,' married Hiss Constance Gei
ger, the daughter of a teacher of music .
at Vienna. She was, however, subse
quentlyelevated to the rank and title of
Baroness Von Ruttenstein.
The other candidate for the throne of
Spain, the Duke of Montpensier, is the
fifth son of Louis Philippe I, King of
France. ' Duke of Itlontpensier was born
July 31st. 1824, and on October 10th, 1846,
was married to Louisa, the youngest sister
of Isabella L This royal couple 'have
always been very popular in Spain, and
their banishment by 'lsabella was the
signal of the recent revolution.
Dedication of Lincola's Tomb.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the
late President Lincoln's birth days quite
a number of ladies and gentlemen visited
Oak Ridge Cemetery for the purpose of
decorating , the tomb of Mr. Lincoln.
Among those prerent we noticed several
ladies, members of that noble band of
women who labored so faithfully during
the late war, in sustaining the "Soldiers'
Home" in this ell), and in ministering to
the sick and suffering in the , hospitals.
If the world at large failed to remember
the anniversary of the birth of the late
lamented President, these noble and pa
triotic ladies did not. On their arrival at
the tomb, they immediately commenced
decorating it with wreaths of evergreens.
Over the. arch of the door and along the
front of the tomb were placed a beautiful
circular wreath of evergreens, sdhile the
urns were twined with wreaths artistically
and appropriately 'arrange& A large and
beatitiful wreath encircled the.entrance to
the tomb. The door of the tomb was
decorated with a cross of evergreens, in
terspersed with rare and beautiful flowers.
The scene presented a scene worthy the
pencil of an- artist—a scene which may
be repeated, but by other actors, on-each
succeeding anniversary so long as the
patriotism and virtues of the lamented
dead shall be remembered by a loyal and
gratefid people. Just as the work had
been completed, Rey. Mr. Carr, of this
city, and Rev. Mr. Bowles, of Boaton,
Mass., arrived at the tomb, - and as an ap
propriate closing of the labors of love and
respect. Rev. Mr. Bowles offered an ap
propriate prayer, after which the assembly
left the silent city of the dead. ' The oc
casion was one of solemn interest, and
will long be remembered by those who
were present.—Springfield Journal Feb
ruary 13.
Rational Amusement.
Henry Ward Beecher lectured in 808
-
ton the other evening, en this theme. He
said : "No amusement is innocent if it
injures the participant. Every man
should learn to select and discrinlinate
pleasure by his own experience. Where
is the man that eats a certain article of
food because it suits the digestion of his
neighbor? What man when taken)ll,
sends to the apothecary and asks him to
furnish the last prescription he put np for
some other man! Every man , should
select his amusement according to his
temper, circumstances of life, etc. By so
doing he will be a better citizen, a better
friend, a better Christian. It ought to
be a part of the duty of the Church to see
that people.are happy, and he hoped to
see the day Yoinig Alen's Christian Also
clations would be provided with nine
pins, chess, and billiards, so that the mbm•
bell might play without liquor, and under
Christian and elevating influences.
Amusements should be social. Home
should be, made rich and bright and at
tractive as possible, so that children' will
not feel that any place is happier than
home."
Grant and the Offtce-Tenure Law.
There can be no doubt at all that Gen.
Grant desires the repeal of the Tenure-of-
Office law. He feels that so long as it re
mains neon the Statute-book he will be
enneeeseatilvhampered and restricted in
purging the branches of the Government
service of corrupt and dishonest officials,
who, having got into power• Ly- appoint
ment of Mr. Johnson, or the complacency
of the'Senate, are now able to command
influential supporters in \ the latter body.
Gen, Grant said that, so far as he< knew ;
every thief in the Government employ,
and every "rink" which is engaged in de
bauching legislation, wanted the . law to
stand as it is. Referrjng to the objection
made by some that to repeal the law now
would amount ton confession that it was
passed solely to embarrass Mr. Johnson;
Gen. Grant:remarked that this was , un-,
donbtedly, the object Congress had in
view—the preservation , of the parity of
the public service against the inroads of
rascality and incompetency, and he saw
nothing in that fact of which' any matt
need to be ashen:Lel-4 CarresPondence

Soc.lut Etiquette In Washington
'The rules of etiquette are strictly en
forced. The President, and his family
are lifted above the sea of ceremony, and
while eierybody, from the Chief Justice
to the , least fraction of, a newsboy, can
,pay a visit to the White. House, nothing
is to be expected in return. The masses
can also pay visite, of ceremony to the
wives of Senators and Members upon
their reception days, but these ,dames are
not expected- to make any returns for
these civilities. In no case would a Sen
ator's wife call upon the wife of a Mem
ber first; but etiquette 'peremptorily com
mands Mrs. Senator tb return the call at
a certain specified time. Sometimes one
or both these visits are made by card,
these solemn effects at the time appearing
to have no effect whatever upon the Gen
eral Government. The wife of a Senator
struck the keynote when she said: "If a
Member's wife wants anything of me,
she must come where I am." In old
feudal times, these little matters used to
be settled by blood. Only a short time
ago, a fierce war was raging between the
wives of the Supreme Judges and those of
the Senators, each side contending for
the precedence. After a whole winter's
contention. it was decided that both com
batants stood upon the same round of the
social ladder.
A NinrWeldlng Power. -
The following composition, recently
patented in Belgium, is said said to be
very useful for welding iron and steel to
gether. It consists of one thousand parts
of iron filings, five hundred partsof borax,
fifty parts.of balsam of copaiva or other
resinous oil, with seventy-five parts of
sal ammoniac. These ingredients are
well mixed together, heated and pulver
ized. The process of welding is much
the same as usual. The surfaces to be
united are-powdered with the composi
tion, and then brought _to 'a cherry red
heat, at which the powder 'melts, when
when the portions to be welded are taken
from the fire and joined. If the pieces to
welded are too large to be both introduced
at the same time into the forge, one can
be first heated with the welding powder
to a cherry read heat, and the other after
'wards' to a white heat, after which the
welding . may be effected. Another com
position for the same object consists of
fifteen parts of borax, two parts of sal
ammoniac and two parts of cyanide of
potassium. The constituents are dis
solved in water, and the water itself
afterwards evaporated at a low temper
attire.
Coal In London.
All coal sold in London, at least for
domestic use, is put up in sacks, each
containing about two hundred pounds, so
that eleven of them will contain a ton.
Each cart is provided with a pair of steel
yards, and the purchaser, when his coal
is delivered, selects two or three sacks,
and has them weighed. Thus he can be
certain of getting his correct weight.
Another advantage is, that the coal, in
stead of being shot on the sidewalk, to
the annoyance of pedestrians, is carried
at once to its destination without making
any dust or dirt: The correspondent
adds: "It appears to me that the sack
plan of delivery pCssesses obvious advan
tages over the present dirty plan of shoot
ing the coal on the sidewalks."
BESIDE a large number of begging let
ten which Bismarck receives every day,
there are Benet° him all sorts of insulting
missives, , most of which `are mailed in
Vienna, and in the' provinces lately an
nexed to Prussia. Strange to say the
Prussian Premier is oftentimes greatly ir
ritated by these scurrilous , letters, and for
some time past his wife has been opening
his whole mail before it is submitted to
him. The most agreeable part of Bis
marck's correspondence is that coming
from the 'United States. The letters
which reach him from thence; are not
only written by German admirers, resi
dent in the New World, but by native
Americans, Brazilians, &c.
Wows, the Paris man-milliner,
charges from 8,000 to 5,000 francs for
givinithe best finish to ball toilettes, and
is terribly dictatorial withal.. The only
man in Paris whoresented his impudence
was Prince Napoleon. He happened to
come into his wife's dressing room one
day when North was giving directions
to the Prince about the, best' manner of
wearing a new fancy 'costume. Prince
Napoleon, who had never seen or heard
Worth,.was amazed at hie imperious and
insolent tone, rang tbe bell, and told the
footman to show him out , and never to
-admit him again: .
