Regarded originally as the natural adversary of advanced Liber rdism, the young Prince has so reigned that ho has become accepted by the an cient adherents; of I Republicanism. -.. Al though, however, the warmth of the sen timent may have been intensified by re cent events, it is of! no transient or tern porary character. Under Senor Cauovas des Castillo, as under the administration of Senor Sagasta, Spaniards have felt that their King neither desired nlr would consent to encroachupon their liberties. He has throughout shown himself con tent with the prerogatives the Constitu tion bestowed upon him. jj .. : He. has proved, besides, that ty? knows how to emjdoy them for the public wel fare. Young still in years, he has expe rienced vicisitudes and tasted of sorrows which mature and cultivate as well as sober. Never has. a trace been dis cerned iu his demeanor of exultation at the. change iu his fortunes which lifted him in a moment from exile to a throne. No party or politicians have eyer been permiyed even to suspect that tie King harbored dislike of mpu who had driven him and his family into- banishmeut. Without attempting to play joft faction1 against faction. lie has had tho happy art of maintaiuing the undisputed predomi nance of an arbiter and umpire over all. It is something into tlje bargain that Jie possesses the gifts f the orator, and that by the unanfmous evidence of foreigners aud natives, he is admirably fitted for the center pf a royal pomp which Castil liaus and Arragouese have not learned to despise. -LoiuUn Times. i ,j -What a Vo?caiio Can Do. Cotapasi, in 1738, threw its fiery rock ets 1W0 feet above thie crater, Svlulo in 1754 the blazing mass struggling loir; au outlet rohfed so tbat- its awful voice wtu heard at a distance of more thau 600 miles. In 1797 the crater of Tunguragua, oue of the great peaks of theAndes, flung out torrents of mud, which dammed up the rivers, opened new lakes, and in valleys 1,000 feet .wide made deposits GOO feet deep. v The stream from Vesuvius, which, in 1737, passed through Tetredel Greco, contained 33,000,000 cubic feet ef solid matter, and in I7U3, whett-Terre del Greco was destroyed, a second time, the mass cf i lava amounted to 45,000,000 cubic feet. In 1760 iEtna poured forth a flood which cov ered 84 square miles oif surfaceand meas uredonly l,000,000,00q cubit feet. On this occasion the sand andj scoria formed the Monto Rosiui near Nicholosa, a cone of two miles- in circumference, and 4,000 - - i - ..... . , . . . feet; high. The stream thrown out by Etna in, 1810 was in motion at , the rate, of a yard a day for niue months after the eruption ; aud. it is oil record that the lava of th same mountain, after a terri ble eruption, was 'not thoroughly cool and consolidated for fen years after the event. In the eruption of Vesuvius, A. D. 79, the scoria and ashes vomited forth far ex cceded the entire bulk of-the mountain j while in 1GG0 Etna disgoiged: 20 times its own maSs. Vesuvius has sent its ashes as IfarXCBtinoj'.yria, and Egypt ; it hurled stones eight-pounds in weight to Pompeii, a distance of six miles, where similar masses were tossed np 2,000 feet above the summit. Cotapaxi has pro jected a block of 100 cubic, yards in vol ume a distance of nine miles aud Sum bawa, in 1815, daring the most terrible eruption on record, sent its : ashes as far as Java, a distance of three hundred miles, of surface, and out of a population of 15, 000 souls only 2.0 escaped. - The' Tears, of Animals. 7 j The monkey, tribe is grotesquely like man even in the display of his joy j and sorrpw. iJiany oi- inem actually smile when amused.

A Favorable Exhibit of Raw Material and Manufactured Articles from the Old North State Remarkable Re vival of Industries since the.war. Correspondent of the New York Tribune.. ' A-tianta j ; Ga.,' tDec. 21,Four State idisplajii' in . the International Cotton Exposition .command general attention, bth because of what they arend1 what they suggest. : These are from the two Carolinas, from Geor gia, and from Florida!; While these displays have many things in com mon, each has important specialities that are not found elsewhere. . , North Carolina! the border land of the South so far as" agricultural pro (Jucts are concerned, intrusted the col lection and , arrangement of her ex hibit to the; Hon. Montford MpGee, her Commissioner of Agriculture. He did not confine himself to the products of the soil, shut collected everything that would set forth the natural re sources and the manufacturing prog ress of North Carolina. Owing to the particular topography of the coun try, this State has probably a wider range of food prod nets than anyjother in the Union. In general terms the State-may be described as a slope, ex tending wesfward from the sand banks that form ,the Hatteras coast to the Tennessee line, where it reaches an altitude of 8,000 feet above the ocean level, the highest land in this country east of the! Rocky mountains. This vasf area naturally divides itself into three belts : one, about fifty miles wide, tending from Newbern to Wilmington, where climate and soil are attapted, to semi-tropical products; second, westwardly to the Piedmont region, in which section tobacco, and all the cereals flourish ; and third, the mountain region proper.- In these several tracts are found all the pro ducts of the temperate zone and many of tlie semi-tropical. These Commis sion McGee has skilfully arranged so that any visitor can see at a glance what are the natural products of any desired locality. "With these he dis plays the products of mills and facto ries that have sprung up since 1865, aud the native wines that illustrate the value and importance of the vine yards of his State. Commissioner Loring, in his ad dress two weeks aero, said that North Carolina, which before the war had no standing as a cotton State, now stood third on the list. The causes which enabled her to make this great advance in the short space of fifteen year deserve consideration. Of these the first in importance is the the fact thatthere are more small holdings in this than in any other Southern State This subdivision into small estates operates as it does in New England. The , people are thrifty, they study small economies, ami they cultivate their land with greater skill than' is practiced on the great -plantations; They also raise raost of the food they consume, and what cotton they 'make counts as profit. This beiug the case, the. line of cotton cultivation has grad ually extended back' from ; the cast until it has at least reached the foot hilts of the Blue Ridge. While the area of cultivation lias been enlarged, the quality of the staple has also been improved,; and at the last Cincinnati r exposition the award for the.first qual ity of upland cotton was? received by North Carolina.! Tlie energy and shrewdness of the people of .that State are evidenced in the great number o small mills that has been built since the war. More than eighty -cotton factories, great and small are now run ning, all of which, with a solitary, ex ception, are owned by,; small share holders living in "their!, immediate neighborhood.' In other Words, the profits of the cotton patches are inves ted in mills, that the planter .may make additional gaius by converting his staple into yarn. Without an ex ception these mills' have prospered and many; new ones are now building. For these, the many rivers, flowing from the mountains to the sea furnish ed an unlimited supply of water power. 4 1 ;: -:'"-;:' " ;- -! ; Aniong thei lextils'1n: this display are some fine blankets ;made . at mills in burry county. Ihese mills find a home markTt for! their entire produc- ion, and have never been fully able o supply the demand, Their wool is brought to their doors by the far mers of the country but they have not sufficient capital to tako all that is of fered. ( The fleeces are from Merinos and Southdowns, both of-which breeds of sheep do weJl everywhere - ia the hState.-. In the sections - east of the mountains the climate lias been found oo warm for the Cotswolds, but they flourished on the Blue : Ridge farms. There have been several sales at the exposition of woollen niachioery, tlie purchasers intending i o add i this branch of iudustry to their North Carolina cotton mills. . That North Carolina is to be the great vintage State of the Atlantic coast seems to be ons of the probabili ties. The vine flourishes everywhere throughout its length and breadth. The soldiers'of the Bjirnside expedi tion were astonished to!1 find on Roan oke Island old neglected vineyards, the vines of which were so matted and interwoven as to form au almost con tinuous bower covering many acres. There was a tradition among the is landers that these vines wero planted by a Connecticut colony which after ward abandoned the country because of the prevalence of fevers. Wheth er true or a myth, the vines arc there, and so they are in every forest in the State. Since the war hundreds of vineyards have Deen planted, mostly small. There are, however, six, each of a hundred acres or more, where wine making is carried on, aided by the best experience and skill that could be found in Europe. The pro ducts ofsojne of these vineyards make an interestingfeature of the State ex hibit. Commissioner McGhee gave me an instance of the transfer of an impor tant industry that ought not to be omitted frora this lettef He was asked why turpentine and rosin were not among the exhibits, and replied : "Ours is the "Tar-heel State" no' long- er. mat distinction, lam -sorry to say, belongs to Georgia. Our pine forests -are practically exhausted, and Georgia is the great producer of na val steres. But what we have lost in that direction we have gained in an other. The Georgians came and hired our male laborers, valuable hands, experienced in that business. They spend the season in Georgia, but re turn at Christmas to see their families, who all remain at their old homes. These women und children are the very best possible help on truck farms. From early spring until late in the fall they are constantly employed at good wages. The consequence is that Newbern aud the country adjacent has become the centre of this great and profitable industry, antTsome of the most enterprising'Norfolk 'truck dealers have transferred their interests to bur State, to avail themselves of our abundant labor' Space forbids more than a passing notice' ot other features of this i impor tant Stale exhibit. Rice from the up land and lowland marshes, corn that weighs seveuty pounds to the bushel and has no superior: in the world, bright tobacco in all shades from pale Jeniou to deep mahogany, wheat and other cereal i. equal to any in quality these are but items of a collection that speaks volumes in favor of the Old North State. Decline in American Securities Abroad. . London, Dec. 20.--The Standard, in, its financial article this morning, referring to the decline in the value of American securities yesterday says: "The? market has been completely disorganized for some time and buy ers could with difficulty be found."

The .
