The chauf feur of the Duke of Alba is 'i Iflleeted to Darliament : the duke. .i famous grandee of Spain, is out, and so is the king. One disgraceful incident was the severe beating, in Madrid, (jf a priest accused of buying votes, to be cast in favor of the monarchy.

Leaving Washington, and flying, on the wings of a dove, to Liberia, a republic establish ed in Africa by Americans to provide a home of "liberty" for the black race, Mr. Curtis finds a queer liberty.
