All 'i sorts of conservatives and gr»ndees protested i against the Kiog's candidacy, but these don't i go for iwueh in the Spain of to«day. The eleelion to the Spanish throne has been re-1 gnrded \vith !he utmost indifference in, France. " What n»atter to us who sha!h reign in Spai»/' says a French \vriter ; and, I indeed. theyVe inutters n»ore important to attrnd to. ! The most feasibie plan of settling the Ahb;nim dispute whieh occurs to the naval periotlic«l at London. Broad Arrovv, is the n('|>ointment of a mixed comn»ission of Americans and Englishrnen, to sit with full powers to adjust the c!aims and agree upon the driilt uf a treaty to that by whieh 1 both governments should be bound. " Such nu'ii," snys 6road Arro\v, '• as John Bright, Lord Ashburton, Sir John Pakington, K. \V. Cra\vtord, Oolonel VVilscn Patton. Lord Kus- 1 sell and Sir John Lubbock would be deserv- j ing of all conl»dencc on «ur part, and could hnrdiy be unaccept»b!e to the American!

Albert Karnps, D.

Five years latcr he bec««ne pastor of the First Presbyteri<<n Church in Philadelphia, uiul remained in nctive service in that capacity lor forty yenrs. He has been a most successful eom-, »jientator on the Scriptnres, and it is es- j tunated that theeleven volumesofhis u Notee on the •« New Testaraent M have had an ng- j greg«ite circulation of above half a niillion ci»p!es. Dr. Barnes was an indefatigable \vorker. His published works, whieh are • manv, were mo6tly written in the early morning, long before daylight, and he paid the pena!ty of overwork in the almost total depnvātion of sight. Up to the hourofhis; death he was actively engagcd in his work. He hnd preached twice on the Sunday before,' and while on a visit of condo!ence at the residence of a meiuber of his congregalion he suddeoly threw back his head and died. He has left behmd him a record of good work and of earnest industry that will not soon be forgotten. — Mrs. Grant says she could not aiui would not set the faehioos, and bas no destre to shine in the fashionable world.
