Prcvioua to the death of Ferdinand VII, the lute
King, there existed a law, to the effect, that female
heirs of the royal family should be debarred the
right of inheritance to the throne, Much law, the
Irx Htlica, waa introduced s.ime centuries back from
France, hy the then reigning monarch, with the ap
probation of the Cortci. Prcvioua to if -asage,
Spanish chivalry had bowed to hma'e authority
from the throne. The lite King, having no issue
by hia first wife, but a girl by hia second, was of
rj)ton that the same authority which had fiM ad
.initM and then debarred to females the right to the
4hronr,,could again he judiciously invoked lo re
plum the la.Uea in their rank, as Queens, and thus
secure the sovereign power lo his daughter, the
tiicaeut O.ueoti UM JI. Without the paa age of
such law, his Irotbec, Doit Cblx, would auccced
hint. 'J'lic law haa paae with all due- formalities,
and ita execution, on hia death, give rise la the late

Carlos haa been forced with the remnant uf Itisnar-

tho throne, under the regency ef her mother, Maiia
Christina. The present rebellion, however ha a
duTcrent origin, reminding one of tlie faUo of the
repent stinging the friend which warmed il into
life. The Constitution waa essentially modified to
a republican tone, in 1 637, by aecuring to the itt
?iibitanU of the cities and towns the election o(
their ww anunicipal magistrates, such aa our M iy

vigorous measures to resist ri tt armi, such an

They assembled immediately, and while deli! cra

ANTIIIUflTE WORKS.
A few dnys sinco we visited the miguilicent An
thrncito Iron Woik, now ereclikg hear 1) in v, lie,
by Chambers, Biddle and Co. The two furnaces,
which aro now near completion, are rf the largest
clas. and will il is supposed; yield about 80 Ions
each, per week. Tlie works oic constructed in the
most durable manner. No expense opars to have
been spared lo render every thing as peifect aa poa
sible. A rail loud is graded leading from ihe "ore
bed," aliout a quarter of a mile in cxlc it, to (ho top
of the staka. In fn-l, nothing seems lo be wauling
to render it one of the best a id most perfect works
of this kind, that can be found in this or probably
any oilier countiy, tlie abundance of Co.d and Iron,
and tlintton; of a superior quality, hi rig cmliious
to neh otln r, ia do tided, at no distant d iy, to rei -dor
the valley of the Hiisqciehanna, at least thai
portion of it ali.nindiii'j in Co.d and Iron, one ol
Ihe moat wealthy, populous nnd enterprising sec
tions of the Union. In addition to (ho aliove we
should not neglect to notice the two Anthracite
Furnace now silently progressing to completion in
the 8hamnkin Coal region. These furnaces are
In ing constructed by the Khamokin Coal Company,
and are located at the eastern end of that portion of
Ihe D.inville and Pnttaville railroad, leading from
IShamokin to Nunhury. These furnace are a'ao
of the lurgest class, and will lie put in operation
next Spring. A valuable bed of iron ore has been
discov, rod underlying the c mI stinti. Thus these
furiiuccs can be supplied with cord and iron ore
from the pi's mouth. These are important advan
tages and uio beginning lo be appreciated.
GOV. PORTER.
The Keystone in enumerating the democratic
p.iers " who h vc already hoisted the name of
David R. Porter to the mast Lead," committed an
eiror in placing 'lie Milton Ledger in that list, j
The mi-lake, however, is natural, and of l.t'le im
portance. The Ledger had placed the name uf
G iv. Potter at the h ad of its columns pr. viou to
tie elec'ion, and haa since acknowledged th.it it
was done for the purp rsc of uiding tho election of
,le-se C. JI irton. Thus verifying what we assert
ed during the election ennpaign " lit .t the Ledger"
and some of it kindred piint, we e secretly op
pocd to Gov. Porter, and wire driven into his sup
I ort by ihe establishment of this press. The haul
ing down of its colots after tho election is a most
conrhi-ic proof of the Iru'h of what we asserted,
nnd nflhrd some striking eviditice of the populari
ty of Gjv. Porter.

'i'he great m, ral refo in winch is now, and has
lieen for some years in p. ogress in the? row, as
well as the old world, his nr eslcd tinirersol at ten-
I on. Ti e subject has Ik-coiiic one of increased ev-
i itement in our town, fr Ihe r. eent presence of
the Rev. Mr. Hunf, the c Icbrved lecturer on tern
m ranee, among our uoy eiiiien. Their y m
utbi.ahave beeu wrought opto the highest pitch
of moral exci emcni.aud the. r zeal in the c.ue ex
hibited in ihe formation of a large Temperance No
ddy, composed of fciml.a, ns will as ol those of
Ihe rougher sex. All this is very well, but the
friends of the cause ought to be careful not lo at
Umt to promote it by intemjsfrate ineana. Intern
ierance, in our nomenclature, ia not confined to Ihe
intemperate use of ardent spirirs, but is proierly ap
plied to excess in any thing. Thus the excitement
aud ardent tflort of the friends of temperance may
be vary intemperate, and when earned to extremes
may degcneiate into folly and extravagance. J
I have leen led to these remark by an incident
which lately occurred in my domestic circle. I am
a firm believer in the truth of the old feudal max
im, that every man's house ia hi cas le; that in it
he is lord aramnunt, nnd neither the public, nor
any part of it, forming a cicty, have any r'ght to
enter, or interfere with hi dome s:ic arrangement.
The good woman ho enter for my tal le, excited
my epicuieau sympathies anJ tickled my p hie in
advance, hy display ing upon the board several fiue
I Miking iiiviiiirjtniii -e pie. Evoryuiinof I isle,
who had ever ei jed the good things of this woild,
would of comae h ive expected a ri 'h lre.il from
kueh a displ .y. A Ihey wero the first of tho sea
son, I, as I am wont on such occasions, grew at
one very ;i'e-oua, and attacked ihe viands wit'l all
the ardor uf a fasted epicure. Was ever m irtal ex
pectations ho d s.ippointnl I Instead of realizing
thai rich delicious flavor, peculiar only to mince
pie, I munched a mouthful of siutT flit, ina pid
and tasteless " ti.ssd woman," cried I, " what's
Ihe matter wilh Ihe pie!' " Indued, sir," said she,
in a moat devout tins, " I have j lined the 'i'enipe
ranee ft.n i ty and I dain't use brandy or they wnu'd
turn me out of tho Society." " What I" I exclaimed,
"make mince-pia without brandy! Who evor
heard of such a thing 1 You nii'lit as well attempt
to in iiiufieturo gingerbread without molasses, or
aus iie w ithout pepper ur.d sail ! Why brandv
I llio nry thing that iieulialues the In erogei:ou
UH-s, nnd harmonix lint di-cordant iugred enia
into thut delicious i id r a puisite lljvor, for which
mince pio is fam'd all the world over." My prniso
of the virtues of the forbidden fruit would not how
ever mend the pin, and I of course bore my disap
pointment wilh the pnticnro and good-humor of a
cheated and half fc;.s:cd man.
This circumstance has presented to mind sere nl
gr.ivr question, upon the decision of which greatly
depend the futuie gnstronomical enjoyment of cor
niverous m irinli and the pence and barmonv of
our homes. la it true thai the success of tho t( m
pemnre leformation dep. ndi upon such inflexible
pr.ncip'es and rigid rub s a lo interfere with the cu
linary department of ihe kitchen and entirely over
turn the long established and most approved art of
cookery 1 Ai d is the obligation which the society
imposes upon it members superior to thu obliga
lions which legitimately arise f.orn the s icial and
dom stic lela'i in ?
Ca .not tho gian.l reform be acco'iipli hed with
out an exterminating war upon ihe well approved
and old-f ishione.l mince-pie t These, I repent, are
serious questions, and fu'l of interest. I disi.e lo
direct puldic attention to them, and I trust that the
Teniierance Society, duly impressed with their im
portance, will rive them it calm and deliberate
consideration at ita next meeting, and let ua know
whether christian charily or brotherly love sanc
tions any interference with the social relations of
life, which may eventually turn the festive circle
into a scene of dome-tic strife and contention.
I rejoice at the successful progress of the great
reformation, but I deprecate Ihe trifling spirit of in
novation, s rife at the present day, which, in tho
ardor of undue zeal, a. t down harmless and inno
cent enjoyment in the ca'alogue of fo bidden sins.
Aa the season of festive pi asu-c is appro idling, I
hojie the Temperance Society will preas tho inter
