Madrid, Nov. 29.—The nuptials of Alfonso XII.. King of Spain, and Arch duchess Marie Christine, of Austria, were celebrated this morning. Madrid woke early. The first banners were streaming from the roofs at dawn. From every quarter of tne city the pop ulace flocked to their holiday. Troops of cavalry dashed up and down the streets, and military bands promenaded the Prado. The walls are covered with announcetm nts of coining bull fights, the cafes are thronged with foreigners, and all day long the ten bioad streets bare poured into the Puerta del Sol their endless stream of people and car nages. The Madrileno has little thought of the political significance of the mar riage. He is content to enjoy the golden hour as it flies. He' has come out to tie Prado in ruffled shirt and plumed bat, and having paid his homage to the Queen is now preparing for the feteB, which me to be by far the most notable part of the royal marriage. Theceremony of this morning resem bled so closely the ceremony which de filed through tho Calle Mayor in Janu- *ry, 18J8, when Alfonso and his fair cousin Mercedes were united, that I need not send you a prolonged descrip- 'ion. At eleven o’clock the King, who looked joyous and happy, left the Royal Palace for the Chapel of Atocha. He was preceded by Queen Isabella, the irmcess of the Asturias, the Infantas and the great dignitaries and Ministers oi Btate. The streets were lined with soldiers Behind them the populace ras massed in dense array. The Arch duchess, having oome in the morning rom the Pardo Castle, changed her 'otlet for a bridal attire at tho Ministry cl Marine, whither she had been accom panied by her mother and by members other suite. She proceeded to the Alo is church by way of the Carrera di ‘■ ln Wonimo, the King having passed ang the Calle de Alcala. She was re- toed at the doors by members of the piotnatic corps, by a number of gran- ,1 ,? P a ‘. n ant * a commission from legislative Chambers. The scene in the church was very and impressive.

Ex-Queen Isabella will also hold H ° W Tra S edian receptions Why Man Persnires- Not Exactly Seasouable but None the Less ! Interesting, Man perspires because perspiration being the watery portion of the blood it, when discharged, carries outward with it all extraneous matters. The blood flows with intense and wonderful rapidity through overy portion of your frame. In the course of an hour or two the whole mass of it goes through every part. The limits given as to time may be questioned, because the quantity of blood is supposed to be much greater than it is; instead of thirty pounds of blocd in the body, there is not more than one-half, according to the experi ments of Bishoff, of Munich. That blood has to carry away the effete mat ter which results from each motion of tbe mind or of the body. While de. positing fresh fibre, it has to remove all poison. In fact, that blood, with its watery part, is washing the whole in ternal man overy instnnt of time, or it is constantly repeating back upon him his own pollution. Well, apply a cer tain increase of temperature to that body, and instantly comeB in operation that wonderful provision of nature th’ough which that blood relaxes its watery parts, and with it discharges the whole of those poisonous matters. When a man maker an effort, the imme diate consequence is perspiration. The effort is the purpose for which the en gine was created. You live and you act; your life is in your action; there fore the action itself is the purpose and aim of life. That action relaxes those fluid contents of the blood. The same happens whenever you raise the tem perature. Life is a chemical operation; it is being performed every minute, every • minutest subdivision of time. Every humau being on the face of the earth is inventing, second by second, life. His existence depends upon a chemical operation which he carries on. That operation, like all others, is retro active. It is in chemistry as in dyna mics. If you discharge a broadside of shot into your enemy’s vessel, there is an equal impingement on your own. only you parry the blow. While, then, you are constantly producing the phe nomena of life, you are as constantly producing the elements of death. Death is the reaction, poison is the recoil. You know your own breath will kill; there is not a more deadly poison; all that comes from yon kills. The effete matter of your own body is poison. The pollu tion of man is from himself—is front within. This is the primary sense of the words of Christ, “It is that which cometh forth out of a man which de- fileth him.’’ If you impede—that is to say, if you interfere with the natural facilities of that organ by which that poison is to be carried off as rapidly as it is created, you superinduce a morbid condition of the frame. It matters not in what manner it shows itself, whether it is in incomplete health or in in posi tive disease. Inflammation is one of these results. When it is produced, it is itself a disease. Louisana Election. New Orleans, Dec. 2.—Tbe election is this passed off quietly. A very light light vote was polled, praobably less than two-thirds. The “Ring’ ‘ticket in this parish is generally elected. Special dispatches to the Democrat from all tele graph stations in the State show heavy Democratic gains. These reports, giv ing estimates of majorities in 11 country^ parishes claim Democratic gains of 11,20 as compared with Democratic count of 187G. Some of these parishes gave President Hayes 1,600 majority. All the disnatches says the election passed off quietly. Most of them report the negroes voting the Democratic ticket ar.d for the Constitution. Grant’s Nomination. Cincinnati Gazetto. Washington, Deo. 1.—A well known friend of Gen. Grant, who met him in Nevada, and who is well enough ac« quainted to justify his question, asked the General in a company of friends, at a reception given by the Governor what he thought concerning his nomi nation. He reports Gen. Grant as an swering, without hesitation and with emphasis, “I sincerely hope no necessi ty will arise calling for my nomtna- The necessity which the General has in mind, as he explained, was connected with the condition of Southern affairs. At a seminary not many miles from London a huge mastiff exhibits wonder ful powers. At 0 ojclock every week day morning he will ring the schoo bell to awaken the inmates,_ by tugging at the rope that hangs within-its reach, and on Sundays one hour iater- He s soon admitted to the building, when his task is the distribution of twenty pairs of boots to their proper rooms. A new pair at first perplexes him, butafter putting around all the oth«n? no trouble in deciding to whom the new ones belong. A French widow, who was bewailing the loss of her husband, suddenly bush ed her sobs, and drying her eyes sa^ “Why should I weep? I i „ know where lie spends his nights now Ordered his Dinner,. From the Cincinnati Times. .?ew tragedians these days carry the stilted mannerisms of the Btage into or dinary intercourse in real life, as did many of the histrionic heroes and heroines of the past. Goldsmith said of Garries: “On the stage he is natural, simple, af fecting, iis only when off the stage he is act ing.” History tells us that the great Siddons was wont to “stab the potatoes” at meal time. Of our modern wooers of the tragic muse it .s said that Lawrence Barrett i-s most prone in this regard to follow the example of his distinguished predecessors to such an extent that he orders his meals in blank verse. Such a scene as the following, a veracious chronicler tells, was witnessed at the Burnet house last week : Enter obsequious waiter. Rattles dishes and shoots bill of furo at the great histrion in the customary style. Waiter—Soup, sir? Great Histrion—Aye, bring it me, And likewise fish, whose name Is but a synonym for azure depths. And then in haste procure for me a modicum of beef. Waiter—Rare or well done? G. H.—Let not the fires its carmine hue too much embrown, Nor from it let the bright, red blood too fteely flow, Just dene enough, my palate pleases best, Bring, too, the escnleDt endeared to sons of crushed Hiberna. And with it, apples of Jerusalem stew ed, And “Beacon street berries,” that the vulgar uame as beans. And when thou hast this charge ful filled, Bring me for dessert that mysterious thing That puzzled England’s king: Whose bothered brain could ne’er sur mise Just how the apple in tho dough was put. Then let me have a dark decoction Of that brown berry that the Arab loves. Now, menial hireling, haste thy tardy limbs, For hungered am I, and the craving which my inwards feel Must soon be satisfied. Not a Joke, But a Fact. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, of Satur day, has the following: A Sabbath school teacher at Cincinnati (or a near suburb) having occasion to be absent, engaged one of the leading young ladies of society to take her place and teach her class. She was prompt in the duty, and, dressed in faultless style,_ made a decided and favorable impression upon the class, and fancied she had sown good seed in the minds of her youthful charge. Tho teacher, the next Sunday, on gathering her class, said, "Well, girls, you had a new teacher last Sun day ; can you tell me any of the lessons she taught you, or have you forgotten!” "Oh, no,” answered the class, “we re member everything. She taught us all about Samson in the lion’s den." “Oh, no—you mean Daniel.” “No, we don’t, it was Samson.” The teacher wisely closed the subject, and hurrying through the lesson, took an early occasion to call upon the substitute. Said —. “What did you teach my class last Sun day ?” “Oh 1 we had a nioe time, and 1 told them all about Samson in the lion’s den, and Moses in the. fiery fur nace, and—” The above is not a joke, but a fact. Courier-Journal: A bill was intro- troduced in Congress last year to reduce the rate of letter postage from three to two cents. It was a good treasure, but the Post Office Department asserted that the reduction would be ruination to the postal revenues. We don’t be lieve it. The contrary has beon proven in England, where the reduction of post age has been a great stimulus to letter writing, with an appreciable increase of revenue. If the Government can af ford to issue postal cards and carry them at less than letter rates, there is no rea son why letter postage cannot be reduced one cent. A postal card weighs as much as an ordinary letter, and costs as much for transportation as a letter. After letter postage was reduced to three cents in 1803, the revenue was largely increased and the deficiency but slightly increased, although the post routes were very greatly extended. The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the success of the colored peoples fair at Raleigh last week, says, with good cause: “When the colored people of North Carolina ceased to be nursed and coddled by the Freedman’s Bureau and cajoled by the carpetbagger, they began to adapt themselves to their new condi- tions, and, having learned the wisdom of self-dependence, Jthey seek to live in har-mony with their with neighbors.
