ibe. The srrival of a Spanish frigate led to | the righting of the matter, but American | honor wiil not be easily appeased, and Sec- retary Evarts has, we believe, demanded lan apology. On previous occasions Spain has not shown herself very forward in meet- ing the wishes of the American Govern- ment in such respects, although there has been more than the usual friendliness dis- played in connection with the extradition of ‘l'weed, and in one or two other matters. These were of a rather different nature, however, and Spain may not be so accom. modating on the present occasion. Nots withstanding a more cordial feeling at headquarters, the Spaniards in Cuba, that is the official classes, heartily dislike the Americans, because of their sympathy with the rebellion. No courtesies,or only the slightest and most formal ones, are shown by the Spanish fleet to any visiting Ameri. can frigate, This influence will all be thrown against any Concession in this mat- ter to the Americans, and as the Spanish navy is the strongest of the two, the United States is notin @ position to make imme, diate and emphatic demands.

MELANCHOLY FATE OF AN ER. RING SON,

It may be recollected that in April a poor Swedish woman named Lyckberg, while en route from Chicago to Sweden in company with her son, was deserted by him at St. Ann’s in a most cruel manner, ind despite all attempts subsequently to secure him, he escaped. The poor woman was sent home by the Swedish consul and some kind friends here, while her erring son’s fate remained buried in mystery till Monday, when his body was found drowned on Saturday last, three miles. below Lor- gueuil. by Pierre Emond,a farmer. The papers found on the deceased showed that he was on his way from Pelican Kapids, Minnesoti, to Portland, and thence to Maiure, Sweden. A baggage check bear- ing tae stamp Portland and Chicago via M.U.R.R., 310, G.T.R., was found on him. [he deceased was five feet nine inches in height, with whiskers on his face. He was dressed ina blue serge surtout, with vest of same, grey tweed pants, blue serge un. dershirt, pentoloane, woolen white stock- ings, laced boots and muffler.— Montreal Witness,

THE FEMININE CRISISIN FRANCE.

Our Paris correspondent, Whiteing, in a letter which we print to-day, strikingly contirms and illustrates the views which we bave already expressed of the part played by Mme. MacMahon in bringing on the re~ cent catastrophe in French politics. It has been pretty widely taken for granted, both in Europe and in this country, that the downfall of M. Jules Simon was a triumph of the Uitramontane influence atthe Elysee; and there can be no doubt, of course, that the Uitramontane’s have gained at least in point of momentary power and prestige by the change in the Marshal-President’s Cabinet. But it must not be lost sight of that one of the first acts of the new Minis~ try was to thwart a leading feature of the Uitramontane policy ; and it has seemed to us from the first as clear as in the light of our correspondent’s letter, we think it will seem to all our readers to-day, that the Uitramontanes would have been obliged to wait a long time yet for their opportunity had not the wife of the Marshal-President determined to force matters in the interest not so much of the Church as of her own own disgust with the democratic a:so-cia- tions ot the Simon Ministry and her own impatieuce of the whole republican system. It is rather early yet to forecast all the pos- sible consequences to France, and therefore to Europe, of this feminine victory. But it is tolerably clear already that the Gers man enemies of France look upon it as

SUICIDE OF AN INSANE CLERGY MAN.

(From the London, Ont., Free Fress of

Saturday.)

A man having the air of respectability about him, dressed in excellent broid cloth, and wearing a white tie, and white kid gloves, went into the Montreal Bank yester-

day and, asking for the Manager, said something about being around for the pur- pose of getting subscriptions for a church; but nothing intelligible could be made out of what he said. He then left, no further notice being taken of him. He was seen to cross Richmond street to the opposite side; and then to cross right over, and walk into the corner, which is caused by the end of the fence in fiont of the Mer. chants’ Bank. A sharp shot was heard; and, on several gentiemen who were pass- ing up the street, looking rouad, they saw the man fall, revolver in hand. Dr. Mor. den was sent for, and on arriving found life was extinct. The doctor was astonished to discover that the deceased was his own cousin, Rev. W. R. Morden, a minister of the Baptist Church, till lately residing at Fredericksburg. Norfol County, By the advice of Dr. Morden te body was taken to the dead house, at the City [ospital, where a document containing the foilow- ing strange writings was found in his pos, session, the writing being on a quar- ter of a sheet of note paper ali crumpled up :-—

‘ Almighty and Everlasting God, my Heavenly Father, accept the sacrifice which to Thee I bring, and let Thy wratbful in. dignation pass away from the whole world, and especialiy from thy ancient spouse the Catholic Church, and give all repentence unto life. A sacrifice not only for my own sins, but for the errors of the people. Let no person dare to bury me with this ring On my finger, and yet let no person dare to attempt to take it off. Let this be granted, Great God, in this the year of Grace, 1877. Amen,

‘*Let this be granted, or let there be a great earthquake, and the graves disgorge

their dead. (Rev. XII, 13). We ask it through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.”

The ring referred to was found in his pockets, as was also a silver watch, with a gold chain, a British sovereign, $2 in Cana- da money, and several postage stamps. From the above document, which was a fines specimen of handwriting, there can be no doubt that deceased was of unsound mind when he committed the rash act. Some time ago he suffered from sunstroke, from which be has never completely recovered. He was a native of London township.— Witness,

A ROMANTIC AND THRILLING RE- COGNITION,

About ten years ago two brothers left their homes in Iilinois and went to Cali- tornia. The elder was 2 man of the most steady hibits, and had received a good business educition: but the younger was inclined to be dissipated, and, indeed, had figured in so many scrapes at home that his departure was not regretted in his native village, The two brothers lived for a short timé in San Francisco, while they looked for situations. The younger brother, how- ever, fell into bad company, and they sepa- rated by mutual consent. ‘i ne elder brother obtaided a situation in a wholesale store as porter, and by his diligence and steadiness so worked himself into the confidence of his employer that he rose from the position of porter to that of partner in the firm, He lately purchased a house in Bush street, married a lady with considerable fortune of her own, and on last Christmas Eve, he saw three beautiful children around him, en- joying the delights of a Christmas tree.
