DON CARLOS, 
JOHN JONES’ NEW LEAF 
The recent, unhappy events in the Spanish 
Republic have brought prominently before the 
world the name of Don Carlos, who pretends 
to have certain rights t.o the overturned throne 
of Spain, and is now' the leader In the rebellion 
against the Republic. We are daily receiving 
telegrams of the progress of the civil war In 
Spain, and the air Is filled with all sorts of ru¬ 
mors respecting the condition of affairs. The 
adherents of Don Carlos style him “ Charles 
VII.” For the second time in his life of but 
25 years, he has headed an insur¬ 
rection to obtain a restitution of 
his asserted rights. Let us see 
what these rights reallyare in the 
eyes of him who claims a. divine 
right to rule the Spanish people, 
whether they will or no : 
Ferdinand VII. died In 1833, 
leaving an only daughter, in 
whose favor ho had Induced the 
Cortes to abrogate the Salle law 
—the present ex-Queen Isabel¬ 
la. His younger brother, the 
original Don Carlos, however, 
would not recognise this abroga¬ 
tion, and on Ferdinand's death 
instituted that series of wars 
which has brought, so much mis¬ 
ery upon his unhappy country. 
In 1839 Don Oariaxs returned to 
France in despair, and dying irt 
1855, left two sons, CARLOS and 
Juan, the former of whom, 
Charles VI., died childless. Don 
Juan, thus Inheriting his broth¬ 
er’s rights, renounced them In 
1868 in favor of his son, the Duke 
of Madrid, the present Dun Car¬ 
los. His first political act was 
the issue of a proclamation In 
1868 to his party, convoking them 
to a Congress In London, whence 
was organized the Insurrection 
which terminated so unfartu- 
natelylri the disasters at Droso- 
quieta. In this insurrection more 
than 20,000 mountaineers took 
part, but there were only suffi¬ 
cient wenpons to arm 2,000 ser- 
viceably. Taught by experience, ^ 
the Carlists did not attempt any ^ 
serlousrlsing this year until large s '—• 
depots of arms had been estah- 
lished in the north, and It was 
not till the 15tli of last. July that. 
matters were considersd far >—s ---\ 
enough advanced for Don Car- 
los to enter Spain. Even as it Is, 
trustworthy reports declare him v — 
to be very disappointed and rtis- ^''’■^--5? 
satisfied with the state of things, 
he having expected to find a well y if 
armed and disciplined army in- \l[i 
stead of those heterogeneous N( 
rough-and-ready forces which 
have always been the backbone 
of a Carlist revolt. Still, Don 
Carlos has now boldly placed 
himself at the head of his army, 
and during the past month, if he 
has not achieved any military 
success, the Carlist cause is very 
popular just now throughout the 
North. 
Don Carlor is tall, energetic, 
dark complextoned, fond of ath¬ 
letic exercises, and if rumor 
speaks truly,somewhat hot-head¬ 
ed. He is married to a niece of 
the Comte dh Chambord, Mar¬ 
garet, daughter of the late Duke 
Charles Ilf. of Parma. Our por¬ 
trait of him Is an excellent likeness, taken 
from a recent photograph. What the result of 
the contest in Spain will be It is too early to 
predict; but all Americans will hope that the 
Republic may prove triumphant. 
It was a dreary kitchen—the walls were dirty 
and smoky, the breakfast, dishes stood on the 
t.ahle in the middle of the floor, the cooking 
stove was open, with kettles and pans on it, 
and cold ashes on its hearth, its sooty plates 
away, a pot of dish water standing on top of 
the stove, and the broom and poker and tongs 
lay just, where t.he little riders had left them 
when called to prepare for school. Johnny had 
gone off crying, and his whine 
could even then bo heard coming 
up the hollow from the direction 
of the school house. The milk 
had not, boon strained, and the 
flies were buzzing about it os 
they sat on the edges of the t,w>> 
brimming pails, sipping and rub¬ 
bing thoir hands together In a 
satisfied way. The baby was 
teething and cross, and the one 
pair of hands that could have 
brought, order out of this disor¬ 
der were busy trying to sooth it. 
Is It any wonder that tearr. 
were in the mother’s eyes, as she 
cuddled her baby to her bosom, 
and walked across the floor, try¬ 
ing to still Its cries? 
“ Oh, dear ! what a life—what 
a life!” said she; “I try to lie 
patient and make the best of it, 
but it does Boom so hnrd." 
Just as the babe was growing 
quiet, and its little blue hands 
had fallen listlessly upon its 
bosom, a shadow fell across the 
doorway, and the husband en¬ 
tered, saying: 
“Jane, can you tell me whut 
the children did with the hatch¬ 
et, yesterday ? " 
“ It was out on the rock, be¬ 
hind Johnny’s wagon, last, 
night,” she replied, speaking 
low, and gently laying the baby 
down in a bed that had not, boon 
made up yet. 
“Seems to me you’re a good 
while gittin’ your choi'es done; 
you haven’t, the knack of glttln* 
along, like Mrs. licavondyke— 
her work Is done up long ago, an' 
she’s busy In the garden. Toll 
you, she’s a nico garden don’t 
look much like our’n ; you don’t 
put the time on our’n that she. 
JN. v - iloes in iier'n." 
K “<)h, John," said the little 
woman, slipping up her sleeves 
mid tying on a big apron, and try¬ 
ing to keep her face turned away 
: lo hide the gathering tears, 
“with four children and the 
T 0 "- baby sick, and three cows to 
ViSV milk, and the calves to feed, and 
hands to cook for, ami all the 
other work to do, I only wonder 
1 twi ^ that I get half my chores done in 
M'l a whole day.” 
“Well, I’m sure 1 don’t see 
how it is,” said he; “ my moth¬ 
er had ten living children, and 
she managed to get along first- 
rate, and do aJl her own weaving, 
besides taking In weaving for the 
neighbors. You have more room 
than she had, and you don’t have 
to carry water forty rods, like 
she did -here It is, right, at the 
foot of the hill; and you never 
have tofeut your own firewood, 
either, unlesB It Is in the midst of harvest, 
and I think you shouldn’t, complain. If there 
is anything I hat© to hear, it, Is a growling, 
whining wife. Now I have to be out of doors 
all the time, no matter how hot the sun shines 
or how cold the wind blow's, while you axe In 
the shade and comfortable-if you only knew 
it. Ah ! you have an easy time of it,, you wo¬ 
men, if you only knew it: so cheer up. I mar¬ 
ried you for a helpmate, don’t you know. The 
girls will be big enough In three or four years 
to help you, and then you can take times easier; 
and maybe by that time the bottom farm will 
be paid for, and we’ll he able to ride In a car¬ 
riage, like tho Lcavoudykes." 
“How long since you brought in this water?” 
ho added, oa ho took a drink from tho dipper. 
Finding it not cool, he squirted it, out. coolly 
right oxv to the floor among some pans that had 
slipped down off a shelf. 
As ho took the hatchet and started out, to¬ 
ward tho wagon to fix the hay-rigging on It, ho 
said— 
“Jane, if yon can as well as not, ’sposin’ you 
have some of them new beans that grow in that 
fur lot for dinner.” 
“ Well, I’ll try,” said she hopelessly, and she 
slipped her shoes off so that she might step 
softly and with more comfort. All working 
women know what a task it is to put a disor¬ 
dered kitchen Into neatness, especially when 
little children have been about. First she 
Btrained tho milk, taking out a quart, with 
which to mix the bread, for the yeast was set 
the night before, and had been bubbling two 
terests and honor. General Jackson admired it 
because he thought that I had successfully vin¬ 
dicated the Democratic cause, to the support 
of which his own life had been devoted. But 
you know that In a few months thereafter when 
our nullification experiment, had developed its 
gigantic proportions, and after the memorable 
contest h;id occurred In the Senate between 
Mr. Calhoun and my ancient antagonist Mr. 
Webster, General Jackson became so great an 
admirer of the Senator from Massacbosetts t hat, 
be thought seriously of making him chief-jus¬ 
tice of the Supreme Court of the United States 
upon the decease of tho venerable Marshall. 
Be assured, sir,” he continued, “ I never for a 
moment have thought of comparing that speech 
of mine. In direct assallment of Mr. Webster 
and the Federal party of old, and to the defense 
of which I had thought proper to challenge 
him, to his great and unequalled speech in re¬ 
ply thereto; though It Is certain that for a day 
or two it seemed to many that I had come off 
victor in the contest.”

MEN PERSONALS 
Tt is well known that Alexander von Hum¬ 
boldt died In a state bordering on poverty. His 
financial embarrassments were caused by his 
loss, in 1843, of tho sum of nine or ten thousand 
dollars in gold, which the king of Prussia had 
presented to him. At the time It, was believed 
that the money had been stolon from the great 
*avatU, but the police were unable to find any 
dew to its disappearance. St range to say, a 
short time since the gentleman now living in 
the house formerly occupied by Humboldt 
found the money in a small box among some 
old rubbish In the cellar. How It got there 
puzzles Humboldt’s intimate xicqualntaneosex¬ 
ceedingly. 
Sir Henry Holland, now elghty-slx years 
old, still retains Ids activity unabated, and 
occasionally makes social calls on neighboring 
localities. Last summer tie sauntered leisurely 
through tbeglaoial groves and boiling fountains 
of Iceland, afterword taking a stroll through 
the Madeira Tsles. This summer lie Intends to 
step over to the Mariposa Grove of California 
and see the fig trees. For fifty successive years 
he has occupied the same house in London, and 
under his mahogany have been sheltered the

Jeffry, Sidney Smith, arul other “ literary lights” 
of England and Scotland. 
WEBSTER AND HAYNE 
The memorable representative men of the 
North and South are thus presented to the pub¬ 
lic in a letter of ex-Seuator Foote, late of Mis¬ 
sissippi, but now a resident of Washington : 
I ventured to refer to the great oratorical 
contest between himself and Mr. Webster, in 
the National Senate, nearly a half century ago, 
and asked him what he thought of Mr. Web¬ 
ster’s powers as a speaker. He at once answered 
that he supposed him, upon tne whole, to he 
the most consummate orator of either ancleut 
or modern times—that his ability as a reasoner 
he was confident had never been exceeded; 
that his imagination was as fertile and vigorous 
as that of Milton and Homer; that his humor 
was both exquisite and abundant; that his 
knowledge was unlimited; that he had a most 
happy command of his temper at all times, and 
that on certain great occasions he had excelled 
all the speakers that had ever lived, not ex¬ 
cepting either Demosthenes or Cicero. 
I then asked him what he thought of Mr. 
Webster’s manner. He replied that It was al¬ 
ways grand and impressive; that he had never 
heard him utter a single word in a careless or 
vulgar style; that he never seemed to forget his
