and délora. Sy r retire; but he voluntéets fo fight out the fight tgr the ladies, shows that he comes frot the Southerti of A Famfly Ties aud the Matrimonial Kugt. “We do not belong coftury,” gad ‘one of the Bourbon family 6 Louis Philippe ; ‘the Bourbons are anoient, and if they wished to adopt any modern tem or notions they would be perfoctly ridiculous.” Guly a Bour- bon coud rise to this height. What other man but one of that family could thus defy time and science and the whole human race, and fasist upon chooging his oentury with such magnificent fudifferenoe to the almanac? Could any but a Bourbon wear the old clothes of his great-great-grandfatber, for foar that he would appear ridiculous in the clothes pecu- liar to his own time? The present head of this family lives at-Rome, in the Farnese Palace. He occupies all that part of the palace not occupied by the Farnesian Her- cules, Hercules is another who does not be- long to this century, He also is ancient. He takes up no modern system’or notion. He only leans on his club and scowls at an age that has invented ganpowder and put clubs ont of fi mn. He sympathizes with the Bourbon, therefore, in his disgust at the age and his adhesion to the fine oldidoas. ‘Imag- ine me with a fowling piece,” says Herculga, “What should I do witha revolver?” Her- cules and the head Bourbon are evidently the two great conservatives of Europe. Who can look upon them without fear? Hercules has the most muscle aud can hold his tongue, In this he has the advantage of the Bourbon. But the Bourbons are not all ancient. One ofthem, not much afraid of being ridioulous, fell in love the other day. The phrase falling in love, said Sterne, naturally implies that love is beneath a man. A fortiori—it must be beaeath a Bourboy. Yet this young fellow descended to it with an ease and grace aston- ishing ina man of such a superior family. He had fallen in love with an American girl. He had great authority for this—even Bourbon authority—for Louis XIV. did the same thing. These American gicls are very dangerous. They are the pretliest creatures in the world, and their pride, spirit, gayety, fine mettle and exquisite grace have a peouliar charm for men used to the nursery puppets the otber side the water. So Bourbon lost his heart, and to get it again he had to take the winner with It. He married bor. This is the event that has awakened the head Bourbon, dreaming over there in the Farnese Palace. He says that the marriage is nota marriage. This is his mumbling, poor fellow. We ought to re- specthim. He wasa king once. He had a throne in Naples, just like those they use in the big show pieces, where the kings come on, at Booth’s theatre. It was Bomba's throne. Bomba used to argue with his people. His arguments always burst over the people's heads. That was why they called him Bomba. This fellow’s argaments burst also. How does he know whether it was a marriage? He was not there. He could not be, for the Jefferson Market Court is nothing like the Farnese Palace. Justice Dodge does not look much like the Farnese Hercules; but he tied a strong knot, We are bound to believe, by every principle ethical, moral, political aud” ggclesinstioal, that the Tarnesian cannot dntie that knot. The Farnese establishment is an aactent affair— just the thing for a refuge for kings out of business—while Jofferson Market is a modern institution well up in all the ideas of the age. As for the young Prince, we intend to fit him up with an entirely new set of ideas, and per- haps we shall send him back to Europe and siart bim in business on his own account, He would make a good king for Spain already, and the fact that he has a beautiful Cuban for a wife would secure the loyalty of the island. We shall advise him to be kind to his old uncle whea he comes into position as the head of a regeuerated branch of the Bourbons. He will have business enough on hand to show what an Americanized Bourbou can do, without hunting up 614 scores to settle. Poor oid Franci: Let him alone. Do not deprive bim of the last little illusion that he isthe head of a great family. Ciremnsiavees Alter Cases. President Grant was called on the other day by an applicant for offico, when the latter was requested to produce his testimonials, He complied by showing one recommending bim some years ago to President Johnson and signed “U.S. Grant.” Oircumstanoes, how- ever, alter cases, and some mon nowadays run iato dissipation with fearful rapidity. An office-seeker may be a church member, Bible class leader, Sunday school teacher, uncon- ditional teetotaler—in short, the piak ot pro- priety—one year, and a debauchee, a very sot, the next. A comparison of the recommenda- tions for official position wriiten ten years ago with the prosont condition of the euccass- ful applicants would no doubt exhibit a startling contrast, Office-holding is « bad ia- coative to virtue, and the ruin of many a dae, young Intellect and noble mind may be traced to the craziness of our people to obtain public office, Those who oan steer clear of the temptation and maiutain themselves by some regular and legitimate employment will, afer a long life, find themaelves botter off, more esteemed by their friends and more beloved by | thelr families. Spatw ano Gusrattar,—On Saturday last Spain, in spite of Cuban trouble, not only thought but spoke about the Rock of Gibraltar, one of the grandest~perhaps the grandest— and most imposing of British outposts, Min ister Lorenaana’s reply was wise, Spain must be strongly constituted and financially reor- ganized hefore she can apoak to Great Britain about the cession of the Mediterranean key. ‘There are theorists in Groat Britain who re- gard the great rock as folly and waste, and who go in tor immediate cession, These men are theorisie, and they ara few in number, Groat Brituin will not give up Gibraltar so long ag she has good reason to hold it; and she will have good reason to hold it so long as she believes she is mistress of the sons, The Rock of Gibraltar, however, as the rock is now known, is a perpetual insult to Spain. Tf Spain awakens into newness of lite the Gibraltar question will be one of the great questions of tho future, TRLBGRAPHIC NEWS.

Auother Report from Admiral Hot!=Case of the Steamship Salvador—Prespects and Con- dition of the Spaniards and Cubans. Wastinoton, May 14, 1369, Admiral Hoff writes to the department from Havana 6'h ingt. announcing that he would be ab- sent from that port for a few days to relieve the Narragauset at Key West and for a change of air for the officers and crew. He had just received infor- mation from Commander Fillebrown at Key West that the English steamer Salvador, a supposed Cuban privateer that our naval forces have been watching for some time at the instance of the gov- ernment, has cleared for St. Thomas via Nassau, without arme or munitions of war of any desorip- tion, Everything at Havana was remarkably quiet. The Spanish authorities seem confident of suppressing the rebellion boiore the expiration of the year. The rainy season now coming on precludes the possibility of any active operations. The proba- bility is that no information of any Importance from the interior of the movements of either party will be received at present. In conversation with Cubans who were at one time sanguine of success Admiral Hoff says that those in the Havana end of the island are dissatisfied from the fact that tue re- volution has not been conducted in a manner to coincide with their views. There is little or no organization among them, although they claim that the cause of their pres- ent inactivity is owing to their forces being exercised and instructed in the use of arms prepara- tory for a campaign at the olose of the rainy season, General S, Cespedes and Quesada are acting inde- pendently, and have their own separate forces and adherents. Mr. Hall, our Consul General, and the Commodore of the English fleet seem to think that the insurrection is betng crushed and thatina few weeks tt will consist of nothing but irregular bands of outlaws scattered through thg iuterior. The Spanish Admiral, English Commodore and captains of the Swedish, North German and Datch men-of-war had arrived, and the customary salutes and courtesies had been exchanged between Admi- ral Hoff and the naval representatives of those nations, Charges.

It is complained here by those friéndly to the suc- 058 of the Cuban cause that Admiral Hott, who commidads the American squadron stationed at Cua, 8 moro friendly to tho Spaniards than his duty os @n Officer requires him to be. In proof of this they point to the fact that all his despatches to tue Navy Department are fal} of statements calcu- lated to impress our people with the idea that the insurgeats are constantly defeated and have no veasonable prospect of success. Hils despatch re- ceived to-day, for instance, ta of the most gloomy character for the Cubans, predicting their complete subjugation ina few weeks. The authorities here explain the course of Admiral Hof by saying that necessarily all the information he gets comes through Spacish sources, and that he has nd means of learn- ing what ia going on in the interior of the island, MASSACHUSETTS. Railroad Tavestigation=Case of Bolbemian Biackmaiting=Mow Railroad Stocks are Affected, Boston, May 14, 1809, The Railroad Investigating Committee of the Legislature had a public meeting this evening, when the testimony given before them in private was re- peated.
