herd of horses will bunch together, neg

An Irish. Kina of Port nasi.
An Irishman was once king of Por
tugal, or at least he once ruled in tbe
king's stead over that country. In No
vember, 1640, there was a revolution in
Portugal, brought about by the tyran
nical exactions of Miguel Vasconcellos,
the secretary of state. The buted min
ister was shot and tbe vice queen, Mar
garet of Savoy, abdicated. Tbe crown
was offered to tbe Duke of Rraganza,
who was living at Villavicosla. Mean
while, until the duke should accept the
crown, the people of Lisbon elected a
popular and influential Irish merchant,
named John Darcy, who resided in the
city, as their nominal king. Darcy ac
cepted the honor conferred upon him
and bore the litle of "king of Portugal”
from Deo. 1 to Dec. 6, 1640.
