the King of Spain so soon after the death of his late Queen Mercede Of the bride— an Austrian Archduchess— and her position they tell us that—

he Archduchess had entered one of thc orders of | hanoinesses, which exist in Prague for ladics of noble birth, and she is Abbess of her chapter, though not

when they choose, and free to marry as they like. Each lady in the house of Prague enjoyed an income of 1,200 marks a year, and the Archduchess pos- sessed about 15,000.

lt was in this peaceful existence, apart from the gay capital of Austria, and away from the brilllant court of the Hapsburgs, that the Princess w2s one day startled with the intelligence that the Ministers of King Alfonso had cast their eyes on her as the successor of Queen Mercedes. It seems that when the Archduchess got the first intimation she was very irreso- lute, as it came so soon after the whole of Kurope had been touched and pain- fully interested by the untimely and pre- mature death of Queen Mercedes. The ide of an Austrian alliance had been orivinated by Don Manuel Silvela, the

then Minister of Foreign Affairs in the}

Canovyas de Castillo Cabinet.

‘he Archduchess Marie Christina did get any official intimation of the intcn- tions of the Spanish Court until many nths after Don Manuel Silvela had

come at the Austrian Court. to Le expected that the relations and the friends of the Count de Chambro and of the Bourbons of Parma would remain quiet, and at first they were not alone in opposing the Spanish alliance. Part of tbe Austrian Princes, as well as the ultra- montane interest, strove to prevent its rea- lization. Don Carlos and the Napoleon branch of the Bourbons are said to have used their influence in the same direction, so much that after the resignation of the Canovas del Castillo Cabinet for nearly three months we heard the plan had been abandoned. When Prince Rudolf and an Austrian Duke visited Madrid, the question was again mooted in Court cir- cles, and it was said that after the expir- ation of the year’s mourning for Queen Mercedes the Madrid government would renew its efforts in Vienna. Diplomacy had not been idle in the meanwhile, and Duke Tetuan, the present Minister of Foreign Affaire, following up the idea of Sivela, managed to ascertain that the Kmperor would not interfere in the chice of the Princess. The intended al- liance was viewed with favor so far back asJune by Loth governments, and though no official despatches have passed between them or their representatives on the sub- ject, it was known that the advances of Kinz Alfonso were likely to be very well received. The mother of the Princess had indeed indicated that her daughter might ask, if Castillian etiquette permit- ted her, to retain her ladies in waiting, he secretary and her physician ; but the only material difficulty was the very na- tural desire that the dower of the future Queen should be securely invested out- side the frontier of Spain against the pe- culiar contingencies of Peninsular poli- tics.

The King’s sister died about the time he was setting out to see his intended,but this did not alter his determination. The arrival at Arcachon, the watering place of Bor ieaux, France, where Alfonso met the Arcliduchess for the first time after their betrothal, is thus described :—

The arrangements made for the recep- tion of King Alfonso were perfect; but, our of. deferenve to the expressed wish of Ilis Majesty, there was no demonstration of any kind, and even no flags were dis- played. A great crowd was present at the arrival of the King. * His Majesty spends most of his time at the Villa Bel- legrade, where all the preliminaries of his marriage with the Arehduchess Marie Christine have beea settled by the Duke of Sesto. A special envoy will leave Madrid on the 15th of September to pro- ceed to Vienna for the purpose of form-! ally asking the hand ot the young Arech-| duchess of the Emperor of Avstria The: King, it is pleasant to hear, passes most | of his time with the Arehduchess and her mother in Villa Belgarde, walking in the bean tiful grounds of the chateau of M. Pericre.

Hear what a Revarend Gentleman. says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harvine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Sin—Itis now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrk Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this eng to see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking

{sensation often preventing me from lying long,

I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you tfis Certificate, unselicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
