The death of the Emperor was announced to the populace by the lowering to halfBust of the standard over the palace. I'lags at half-mast are displayed on all the public buildings. An immense concourso of people is gathered outside the palace. The multitude is silent and sorrowful. Eye witnesses of the scenes at the death of the Emperor state that during the last few hours of his life he suffered no pain." Short ly after 3 o'clock all the members of the iamily staying at the palace, the court dignitaries, Generals and Ministers of State were summoned to the chamber la which the Emperor lay dying. The Emperor was in a half sitting position on a camp bedstead. All the members of the Royal family took places at the bedside.

The Emperor will be buried in the mausoleum at Charlotteaburg. TH OFFICIAL A5WOCHCEMCWT5. At the meeting of the Lower House of the Prussian Diet to-day, Herr Voa Patt kamer, vice-president of the Prussian Ministerial Council, arose and Mil: "I have the sad duty to make a most piinful communication to the House. It has pleased God to call his majesty, the Emperor, in the twenty-eighth year of his glorious reign, from iris earthly existence by a peacefuldeath at 3:30 o'clock this morning. You will not expect me, at this most solemn moment when sorrow and care so deeply stir our hearts, to attempt to depict the feelings with which the whole nation is tilled through the loss of our most beloved, exalted and venerable ruler. I may, however, safely and confidently say on this day of sore trial, that the Prussian people and their representatives will now, more than ever, be penetrated by tne consciounees that the sorrow of our exalted sovereign's house is theirs, and that the deeper universal pain at the decease of our ever-remembered King the stronger and more indissoluble will be the link uniting Prussia's sovereign house ar-'i Prussia's people in good and evil days. 1 leave it to yourselves to take such resolutions as are suitable to the gravity of the Bitnation." Herr Von Koeller, the president of the House, closed the sitting with the words: "God protect the royal house and the fatherland." Whtn the Reichstag met to day Prince Bismarck, with deep emotion, informed the members of the deatn of tne Emperor, lie &l..o annouLced that the new King would assume the title of Frederick III. "When Piincn Bismarck entered the Ksichtti.tr at 12:3." this afternojnhe deposited th imperial or.ler, c'osing toe session. The order was lb Inst officil document signed by the late Kaperor. Prince BUmarck informed the lifrichatis that Emperor Frederick will leave San Rmo to-morrow, and that he will arrive at Berlin in due course of time. The House received the communication with evident satisfaction, the more bo because HerrVon Pattkamer. in an nouncing the death of Emperor William to the Lower House of Diet, had not al laded to the new Emperor. This omis sion had created a painful impression. Prince Bismarck declared that from what he had observed during the last few days Koiperor William had found consolation ia these trying hours in the sympathy the whole world showed in the sufferings of Iiis son. and in his consciousness of the consolidation of national unity, which found expression in the unanimous passage of the military bill. 'The Reichstag then adjourned for an indefinite period. After the adjournment Prince Bismarck descended from the elevated seats occupied by tne members of tne Bun (lira th into the body of the House and greeted Count Von Moltke. The numbers crowded around him as he showed the order dissolving the Reichstag, all being anxious to see the last signature of the Emperor. Tne Staats Anzeiger publishes the following proclamation : It has pleaded God to call HU Majesty, the Km7eror and King, your most gracious master, irom life, after a bort Illness, and alter a richly blessed reign. The whole nation mourns with the royal house the decease ot the deeply bel ived and venerablo monarch, whose wUdom Jim mied so lor; and gloriously over lis iortaca In war and peace. The Misistsr of 3rTC. TDK EMPEROR WILLIAM. Outlines of tha Loar and Remarkable Career ot the Dead Monarch. William I. ( Wilhelm Frederick Ludurg), King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany, ku born Marsh 22, 1797, He was thus Tsp'dly approaching his ninety-first birth day anniversary when stricken by death, &i already announced. He was the aon of -Frederick William III. and of the celebrated Queen Losisa, and in early life accom pamed the armies which overthrew Na poleon Bonaparte. After the accession of hia cMMIesa brother, Frederick Willlam -1th, In 1V10, he became known as heir ap parent and Prince of Prussia; he was in vested with high office and sat in the first "United Diet la 1317. Chiefly on acooant of nil ionane-e lor the army, he was regarded as an "Absolutist," in March, 1813, and

wiitorew in tngiana till June, whea the excitement in Berlin having sabsided, he took a seat as a Deputy in the National Assembly. On Jone VI, 1840. an unsuccessful attempt waa made npon his life at NiederIaeelhtim, while he wa on the way to ll.den to take command of the Prussian ijrets.. He put down the republican Insurrection In a few weeks, ßubsebaently hewaiiutiooed at Coblentz as Military -Governor on the Rhine, and in Westphalia, -a4 also became Governor of the Federal .

In 1857, he aeted in his stead, and In October, 185, was formally Installed as Recent, and he succeeded him as Xing on January 2, 1861. In July another abortive bat graver attempt npon hia life was made at Baden-Baden by the student Oakar Becker, who charged him with incapacity to effect the union of Germany, the accomplishment of which however, became the salient feature of his reign. With the assistance of Von Room he paved the way for victory by th reorganization of the army, and In 1SU2 be placed Bismarck at the head of the Cabinet as Minister of Foreign Affairs. - After procuring, in 18&4, the co-operation of Austria in the Schleswig-Holstein war, he achieved a great victory for Prussia, and the convention of Gastein ( A turnst 14. lSt auienad

Schletlng permanently to . him, and Lanenberg temporarily. His sagacity in selecting able ministers and generals was equaled only by his firmness in sustaining them against all opposition; and his confidence in Bismarck, as well as in Von Roon and Moltke. was fully confirmed by the rami and brilliant success of the war of 1SGG, in conjunction with Italy, against Austria, in which he personally took an active part, and which extinguished Austria as a German power and placed bim at the head of the new North German Confederation, with Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover, Hease-Catsel. Nassau and Frankfort added ' to his ' Prussian dominions. On February 24, 1,367, he opened the constituent - Reichstag, and on July 1 he made Bismarck Chancellor. In the proceeding month he and his nephew the Emperor Alexander II. of Russia had resisted Napoleon ill. on the occasion of the Paris exposition Tue friendly relations between Prussia ad Rus-Ia were subsequently strengthened, the two chancellors, Bismarck: and Girtchakoff, being as much in accord as th tro monarchs; and the good understanding was of the greatest moment in the ultimate victory over Franc and ths attainment of German unity. The KiDr t-oV every opportunity to vindicate the historic position of his dynasty as protector of the Protestant faith. The candidature of Prince Leopold cf Hohenzallern for the Spanish throne, and the King's objections against further interviews with the French ambassador, Count Benedetto, who had repeatedly importuned him at Ems (July 1870) became the pretext for the French declaration of war against Prussia. The South German States at once joined the North ' German Confederation against France, under the lead of Prusiia, and the war was a continuous series of prodigious victories. William accompanied by Bismarck, Von Room and Moltke, was with the German armies from the beginning to the end of the contest, and received at 81 an. Sdpt 2, the surrender of Napoleon III. On October 5th he fixed his headquarters in the palace of the former French King at Versailles, and here, on January 13, 1971, he waa proclaimed Emperor of Germany. After signing the preliminariea of peace, February 26th, he intimated to the Emperor of Russia that Germany would never forget the service rendered by his strict neutrality. The treaty waa ratified March 1 aid 2, and the Emperor left Versailles on the 7th. Ue entered Berlin on the löth, and on the 21st opened the first Reichstag of the new empire. The definitive peace with France was s'gned at Frankfort May 10, and on June 9 appeared the Emperor's proclamation Incorporating Alsace-Lorain with the Empire. Ou August 16, 137 5, the Emperor unveiled Baaders colossal monument of the national hero Arminias on the summit of the Gretenberg, near Detmold. After exchanging visits with the Emperor of Austria, he reached Milan on October 13 to return the visit of the King of Italy, his good relations with Victor Emmanuel being of special importance in view of the Increasing magnitude ot the Emperor's contest with the Kornau hierarchy. Early in 1S7G he joined the Emperors of Austria and Russia in the project of reform suggested to Turkey for tbe pacification of her revolted provinces. Monuments in his honor have been erected all over the Empire. By his wife, the Empress Augusta (daughter of the Grand Duke Charles Frederick of Saxe WeimsrEitenach. born September 30, 1311, and married June 11, 1320). he has one bob, the Crown Prince, now an invalid at San Rsmo, and one daughter, the Princess Louisa, born December 3, 133, who married In HjG the Grand Duke Frederick of Biden. Ever since the Franco-Prussian war it seems to have been the constant endeavor of the Emperor to preserve friendly relations with all powers, especially those connected with Germany by ties of neighborhood and history, and as far as peace might be endangered among such to preserve it by friendly mediation. The empire was repeatedly assured that the blood of her sons would be sacrificed or risked only for the protection of her own honor and interests. In May, 1376, the Emperor v slted the then new province of AlsaceLorraine. He was everywhere received with great demonstrations of j oy and respect, particularly in the lower Alsace in and around Strasburg, where the population is chiefly German. But even in Metz and Its vicinity, where the French element predominates, his presence was con sidered to have had a favorable inHuence, although the population showed a greater reserve in receiving mm. January 1, 1377, was the seventieth anniversary of tbe en trance of the Emperor into the Prussian am y. On this occasion he held a notable reception of all the commanding officers of the army. At 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon of 8itur day. May 11, 1873, the aged Emperor, ac companied by the Grand Duchess ot Biden, was returning from a customary drive. As he passed toward the palace, in the avenue I nter den Linden, a young man advanced toward the edge of the street pavement and bred two ahota at the carriage. The vehicle was immediately halted, the footmen dropi ed down from the box, and the per on firing the revolver waa descried. The latter, seeing that the footmen were about to eel: a him, hurriedly fired three more shotj in an excited manner, seemingly with little aim. and then threw the weapon away. Upon this a crowd of people rushed into tbe street, and closing about the wouldbe regicide, proclaimed an Intention of tearing him to pieces. Their efforts to get hold f f the young man were so ma what Mnied by a person named Kreuger, who did all he could to protect the assassin from harm. This aettled suspicion on Kreuger also, and he waa temporarily placed under the uncomfortable charge of attempted king murder, from which, however, he was exm pted in a lew days. The criminal who firtd the ahota was found to be Emil Hoedel, aged twanty-one j ears, a tinsmith oi Le'pi'c lie was a Socialist and au In fernatiozal. He declared himself an An tbe present condition of society, aad all pnbito institutions. The Km peror appeared at the ODra in the enniag and received a trenendous reception. The heads of other European governments poured in telegrams of congratulation upon the old sovereign. Things went along In an excited manner for three weeks, whan, the Sanday afternoon of Jnne 2, 1373, at about 2 o'clock, the Emperor again rode out As the imperial cirriaje pawed residence at No. 13 Unter den Linden, a man opened a window and discharged roller of buckshot at the unfortunate Kaiser. Thirty of these small missiles entered the face and arms of the Emperor. The appearance of the venerable monarch, with his face, hair and beard, all naually aa whita as anow, manioc little crimson streams at so many points, together with hia oomplete prostration from loaa of blood, was one of the most shocking and pitiable ever vouchsafed to the human eye.

bead, and was, as was thought, rapidly sinkic. He was taken to the hospital station in tie Molden market Pjliee Dis trict, and wm attended by his mother and daughter. He was found to have two balls n his brain. His death rras inevitable. t was, physiologically, sexcrisin? that he sbnuld be alive at all. He was found to be Dr. Charles Edouard Nooiling, a Doctor of Philology, aged 32 years, and a native of Koliuo, near Birn baum. Upon his person were found many tickets certifying his membership in Democratic Socialist clubs, as they were called. n his room a quantity a arms and am munition was discovered. When he returned to consciousness he avowed that he had cherished his design for eight days, and had proceeded to scob an extremity because he thought the assassination woald be a public beneüt. His stoicism afterward gave way before the agony of his seed mother, and he cried bitterly. Ncbiling was small of stature, with a full reridith board and coxroe features. He waa, however, ef excellent family, and was scholar and gentleman, aa those terms are used under our present social system, Two of his brothers wore officers in tbe German army. They had Iobr disowned bim, of course, on account of his socialistic vagaries. Upon tbe commission of his great crime they cbanjed their name, as d the relatives of Hoedel. The condition of the wounded Emperor was very serious for many week The shock mentally was almost equal with his pnyslcal injuries, and disastrous to his gen tal health. The reins of government were intrusted to the Crown Prince by the advice of his well-wishers, with the hope of remov Dg further liability o. William's assassina tion. The Emperor, with his immediateassociates, went to Eabelsburg and noticeowere posted prominently around that pixk that any one entering without permission would be tired at by the sentinels, the in tent being to quiet the natural alarm of the object of such relentless animosity. whatever chance Hoedel had possessed looking to ultimate escape from the severest penalty of the law vanished with tbe act of the Doctor of Philology. Hoedel was brought to trial in July. The 8th of August, laid, the decree sentencing Hoedel to decapitation was signed by the f rince Regent, and the J ih of the same month he was beheaded. The 3d of August, 173, Nobilin at tempted to commit suicide with a pair of scissors. The 10th of October, after over tour months of existence with two ballets in his brain, he died. The most interesting movement ;n Ger many in recent yeais ba been its ecclesiastical contest with the Church cf Rom. arising from, the attitude adopted by the Roman Cathalic clergy. Wilhaci saw the necessity of defining the relations between the rights oi the otate and those ot the Church. The consequence of this step was the refusal by the Pop, in 13"2, to receive Cardinal Hohenlohe, the German Ambassador. In hia usual retaliiatory spirit. William expelled the Jesuits from Germany. Then followed an allocution by the Pop asserting the supremacy of the laws of the Church over those of the State. What are known as th Falk laws were 'ben -passed. They were so called from the name of the minister who introduced them. Their general principle is that all religious societies are subject to the laws and supervision of the State. Tbe etlect of this was that several Bishops, who refused to submit their ecclesiastical arrangements to the inspection ot the Govern ment, and threatened to excommunicate soch of the clergy as should comply, were expelled from Germany. A law was passed in 18.5, making marriage a civil rite The Pope thereupon issued an encyclical letter declaring the Falk laws invalid. With the advent ot tbe new Pope Leo XIII., nego nations followed with a view to compromise, and this was in a measure affected by modification of the obnoxious Falk laws in 1S80, whereby five of the more impor tant articles out of the twelve wera stricken out. including those dispensing with edu cation al tests for the clergy and conferring on William the right to reinstate deposed Bishops. William was as eager tor amusement and as easily amused as a boy, and, after a long day of varied festivities, would ask whether that waa all, in the most regretful way. Truly not only an iron constitution, but a healty and elastic spirit, must be conceded to a man of his great age to whom his long labors and his satisfied ambition left so fresh and childlike a nature. His old doctoralmost as old as himself, and the only physician the Kaiser trusted to regulate his daily life reported to a friend the difficulty he had in making him remember that he was no longer forty years of age. His appetite for forbiddea delicacies was as boyish as his appetite for parades and fetes. Even when he was taklns the "cure" at Ems and the strictest regimen should be required of him he was not willing to do without a lobster for his dally breakfast. One wonders not only that he but hia responsible physician has lived so long. If one were to pick out of all the families in tbe world one which would tj its physicial appearance do honor to the greatest of contemporary thrones one could not find better toaa this Hohenzollern race.

Ho the KaUer Spent II .a U ay a Im His Palace t'ater dea L!aden. There is never any change in tbe appearance of the venerable monarch palace home. His sleeping-room ant office at the corner of the building that stands is the Unter den Linden ara lit tp every evening at the usual hour, and een when the sovereign is absent tiee wiidows are bright with lamps and candles intll midnight, just as though he vrere in the capital. The room is a large one sorce 13x25 feet tuare with wooden wainscoting and heavy brown eatin hangings. Che 5ed, although &.?ery simple one, is no langer the iron camp bedstead which moBt X nis biographers have declared to be hio nightly couch; i. stands with the head to the wall facing a nida, lofty window staded with thick bli-ads, and near it cn a little table is a collection of family photographs, includiig that of the Emperor himself, who is representee' holding on his kneis his great grandson, the next but last born child of Prince William. The Emperor's watch hangs at the head of the bed, here also a bell rope-is within his reach. On the mantlepiece, no matter what msy be the season of the year, mere is always a hupe bouquet of bins corn Mowers, tka Emperor's favirite, in a silver Renaissance vase. On a brack' t, fastened to the wall,' is a two branched candlestick with greea. shades. The whole cf one side of the rooi is filled up with a large mirror. A door ope as from this room into the one assigned to the General on duty es aide-de camp. Anothdz door communicates with the Emperor's private office, to which he proceeds as soon as he is up and draeAd,and where he almys begins his daily work, by reading the verse of Scripture, tho proverb, or the philosophical rejection printed on. the ephermeral almanac banging over his desk. He now and then adds an annotation of his own to these daily slips, or mate oa them a memorandum of how he has employed the day, and as they are all care fully preserved by has granddaughter the Princess William ot Prussia, they Trill one day form a curious and valuable collection for the examination of future biograDhers and historians. For a great many years a cane-bcttomed chair was thonly seat this room con tained, but this has lately been exchanged for a large green leather upholstered arm one, which stands to the right of three tables placed In a aw. On the first oi these are placed lettsrs, petitions and roports, as they are received; on the second there are writing materials a silver inketand shaped like a Krupp shell, and a pen made out of an eagle's feather, with which the Emperor always writes; on the third table are books, German, English arxl French newspapers and reviews, com plate hies of which are aleo kept In a large rocm on the ground floor oi the Palace. In this oifice the Emperor passes a large portion of his time, and it is there that ho receives those who have business with him, but no one ex sept tbe &'td-de-eampon duty, who sleeps in the adjoining room, hie valet-dechambre, Walter, whose grandfather long held the same position, his physicians, and Prince Bismarck ire ever allowed to enter hia bedchamber. THE MEW EMPKBOB. Uie Birth aad Political Debut Military Career lac Wie ota ef Hia Life. The full name of the Crown Prince ia Frederick William Nicholas Charles, has the title also of a German general, as well as that of Crown Prince ot Russia and of the Germm Empire. He waa born in the Royal Palace near Potsdam Ost. 13, 1311. He receive! a thorough scientific education and the doctor's diploma from the University of Königsberg, ot which he waa rector. In January, 1353, he married Victoria Adelaide, the daughter of the present Queen of Ecglandl She bore him six children, the eldest of whom, Prince Frederick William Victor Albert, was born in Berlin January 27, 1350. The Prince made his political debut in 1862, at the time of what has beeneaphemutlcally called the constitutional controversy. His royal father, the King of Pruss'a, being intent upon increasing his army for the reunion ot Germany, owing to his conservative reputation failed to convince his Parliament that he had a definite national object in view. The Lower House, in consequence resisted the messure, when the King, supported by the Upper House, contending that the budget had to be enacted by the Crown, If no arrangement could be arrived at between" Crowa and House, carried the reform singlehanded. Opposition to these proceedings was at first pretty general, aud indeed, died out only after the King, In successive campaigns against Denmark and Austria, had demonstrated the ultimate object of bis military politics to the satisfaction of tbe people. While tbe struggle wss at the hottest the Crowa Prince, in a rerpectfai letter to his father begged to point out itae obscure and imperfect provision madsiln the charter for the contingency of absolute disagreement between Crown and Lower House. The frankness of tbls declaration at a timanf aTtranrdinarT excitement rained loimense popularity for the Prince, which waa not diminished whea the Klag, adoptin a aimtlar view, after tha Austrian war asked far ft TOtt Of lad tan I ty fit

tbe hands of his loyal Co aim one. A general reconclliattoa ensued. Ia 136$ Crown Prlnoe Frederick was Commander-in-chief of the Second Jtussian army, and essentially contributed to the decisive vrctory of Sadowa by his timely appearance at Cblum. In the Franco-German war of 1870-72 he was at the head of the- South German forces as Coamander in-Chief of the third army. The first victory of the war, that of Weissen berg (August i) and the greater one over ftf icMahon at Worth (August 3 were achieve! under hia generalship. Ha took an equally brilliant part, together with the Crown Prince (now Ktrg) Alhert of Saxony, in the great triumphs culminating in Napoleon's surrender wi tlx his army at Cedan, 8epteraber 2. He woe additional laurels during the .eeige of Paria and was made General Field Marshal October 28, 1S71, although It had not been customary for 3oyal Princes to receive that title. The Princo not having lately taken a very active part in tbe management of public affair?, his character and personality have been brought before the nation more prominently by his illness than would have been the case had he continued in his ordinary gooJ'health. He is remembered as the Ciom Princess the other day pertinently put it in a letter t a friend as a raan instinct with pure axd disinterested rmrpoees, wishing to use prerogative lor the benefit o-T others, not himselL He is remembered as -a judiciora statesman, a nodeiate Libor?.l and a steady advocate ptace. A civilian rather than a soldier, a pbt.arttropipt as well as a potentate, he la rt-con?red once more to blend the splendor of hereditary power with the loftier digni tj derived from its excellent use. ThePmceis remarkably popular. He mi re' es fieely with the people. Like most' Ore ans he is fond of tobacco and therj are ai acy anecdotes afloat concerning hii 1ot fcr bis pipe. The Hamburg Fremdenblatt adds a new one, which is now obtamed "from a source worthy of credit. Itis both new aad true," adds that journal, "ard throws a clear liht on the oft. J rated amiability aud bonhomie of 'ourritz.' " The manager of the Hamburg Stadt Theater tws formerly manager of the Berlin National Iheater, and he is known to have sacrificed a considerable fortune to his

ideal national alms as a grid and leadsrH ol the drama m Germany. At that period the Crown Pxic;e was a constant attendant it used to ba said, "a demonstrative tttendnt" at Herr Buchhoiz theater. The manager, for tbe special convenience cl tbe Prince, caused a little ante chamber to be constructed next to hia box, to which bs could retire between the ac'-s. Oie e ening Herr Euchholz entered this little cabinet, according to his custom, to give the Prince a royal greeting. He observed that his patron, with a tudden action, thrust something behind his back, but au instant afterward drew it forth again, exhibiting with a smile a burning cigarette. "You will betray me, Enchholz," says be. "Smoking, aa the nctice-board says, Is prohibited in the theater." 'But, your leperial highness," ex postulated the manaror, "this is -l your private sitting-room." "That is all ore,' retorted the priace. 'I claim nc privilege. You have the right to denounce me to tbe police. I see only oneway ci escape you must be particeps crlmlnis." So saying the prince handed his cigarette rase to the manager. Herr Bachholt bowed, took & cigarette and stuck it in his breast pocket. "If your imperial highnee 3 will allow me," said he, "I will keep it as a memento." "Ah!" rsplied the prince, "jou will escape yourself and betray me. on must take a second and light iL" The manager obsyed, and' the prime sild: "Now you are a fellcw-crlmlnal." mis happened long before the fire at the King theatre, at a time whea the prohibition of smoking was not very strictly carried cut, . and when thore waa not a little smoking among the actors themselves, according to the narrative. It was a sore - day when the news oi bisillness first epread through Germany. A man of uncommon worth, destined to fill a leading position at a time replete with foreign and domestle difficulties, his character had long beea regarded aa ofleila a substantial guarantee for a noble and dignified conduct o2- public affairs. 3tpe, temperate and generous, his death, it is pretty generally conceded, will b one of the greatest disasters that can befall the natica.:ust now. THE CXO WN rKltfCK. I', luce Fredeti.iV, the Horn, ef the Crowa XTinre, tke gam ftemo Invalid. At the death of the Crown Prince, which eid occurence- has been looked) 2or recently severed timee, his son, Prittce Frederick William Victor Albert,, succeeds him to the G orman throne. Hia- mother was the eilest daughter of the present Queen of Ejgland. He was born in Berlin, January 27, 135'J, and npon hie last birthday anniversary, being the twenty-ninth, ba received the title ef Major Ceaeral as a birthday present from his grandfather, the venerable Emperor. Previous to this he was ordered about as an ordinary Major, aud bat little attention paid to his royal rank. It ia announced in recent dispatches that by an imperial decree promulgated in Berim Thursday that the young Prince has been clothed with authority to discharge the current government business. it is said that he lacks the prominent rugged features of his father and the handsome lineal features of hia grandfather. Hia upper lip shows a sparse blonde mus tache, hia nose is slightly -Kornau, with a medium forehead and hair stands back like Beethoven's. But, despite the comparatively weak chin, his cold blue eyes has a brave, daring expression, which reminds one a little of the great Frederick, whom he ia fondly said to resemble in character. He is 'slender in build, and shorter in stature than hia brother, the "naval Hohenzollern." Hia right hand is badly crippled, aad hia right arm at least two inches shorter than his left, a defect which bas caused him aa much annoyanceand mental pain as ever Byron'a deformity did. He tries upon every occasion to conceal it, but tries, of course, in vain. Yet the skill he possesses is remarkable. He carries his sword upon parade as well as any officer, and has become a most excellent fencer, ridea like a Cossack, and shoots with unerring aim. He has been phenomenally popular, and his comrades in arms specially attached to him. With a pleasint word for all, he cracks jokes with anyone that he chances to meet. Hia training has been democratic. He attended school at Cassel, boarding with one of the teachers, and treated exactly as one ot the other boys. Taking his lunch one day, he noticed one of his comrades eating the black bread which the poorer classes use is Germany. Wishirg to taste it, he offered to "trade" with the boy the son, I believe, of a poor merchantwho, of course, was only too glad to do so. It pleased the Prince's palate so much that he made au agreement to exchange lunches with the boy every day and thenceforeward he always feasted upon the black bread baked in the house cf the mechanic. He waa graduated after several years at Cassel among the first in his class, to the great satisfaction ot hia Barents, who attended the com mencement. He afterward as is Hohen zollern custom attended the univer el at Boau and joined the famous dazo U uusten Corps, over whose annual meet iujte be a all prctide. and is as eager as any i rtlatinptha nranks ot his student days.

Bismarck's KelgT WitlNot bs Interrupted Ilia Jaarrel With the Crowa Trlaceaa. Mr. Herman Faster, editor ot the Illinois Staats-Zeitung, speaking of the probable effect of the Emperor's death oc the Government, said to a Chicago Times reporter: "The succession is governed by the dynastic law of the house of Hoheizollera. The empire has nothl to do with it. William io virtually the King, the title of Emperor oeing more of aa honorary one tnan anything else. This would mxeit'evolve upon the Crown Prince Frederick, and in -case of his death upon hisEoa William." 'Would Bismcrck's position be aff.cted .' ' u.i, r,c. That is ridiculous The Ci'.wn Piuce, whfn he becomes Emperor, i :. no wer to dismiss the Chancellor, but in this esse the act wou'd be a most pr. p.-;f rOU3 one on Frederick's part. The GrniAii people would not stand it. They wot, id orer part with one of ths royal fsii.iJv t hsnloseBlomarck. No doubt Victoi is. j-'udf rick's wife, would try to ef-f-( i Bismarck's diftniasal. She hates him ooj'iia;?. gs does aJ30 the Empreoo. The C':i;wn i'iincets his not forgotten the DpoM'iftn made to her marriage Frederick by Bismarck 'Do iet us,' said he, 'unite iturdy, Izoalthy Hohenzollern with sot our blood ivith the scrofulous Hanoverians.' For of his advice was disregarded, and I can tagine that something almost akin to a sriile tomes to his lace when he contemplates the shriveled aud shrunken right arm of William, the Crown Prince's sou. Victoria has never forgiven Bismarck, and she ne?er will. She is a woman of unbounded ambition, and she atpire s to be Empress. Oace in that position ehe would use every in licence to secure Bismarck's removal. She is nearly frantis at the condition of her husband, not so much through regard for bim as from a fear that sL will never attain her desire for power. There is no dobt that Dr. Mackenzie losoe nothing by sticking to his alleged opinion that the Crown Prince's malady is not & dangerous ons, and it is common talk in Berlin tbat the Crown Princss slapped the face of the German physician, Bergcasn, for pronouncing Frederick's throat trouble to be a, cancer. She is a woman cf ungovernable temper and heartily detested in court circles. She is her mother's (laughter, every inch of her. Should her h -aband die her position will be nil worse than nothing, la fact; but if he should survive she world see her ambition gratified to a certain . extent. She would inherit, too. through him a good chare of tbe old Emperor's savings, whi;h are said tc be considerable, .William, the next in line cter Frederick, io a pet of the military party and is generally popular. His sound rein-arm permit him to be as good a soldier as his Tether was at lest. The rt soubriquet of 'Unser Fritz' bestowed upon the Crown Prince reads very nice, but he is not held in the higheet esteem.. His character is irreproachable, but his mental abilities are not rated very highly. As a soldier he was not nvnch more thaa a figurehead. His battles were fought nod won by Ganeral Von Dlumenthal, and even when the latter, in his correspondence to his wife, referred to his royal superior as 'an infernal jackass,' the latter d'. i not resent it : on the contrary, he admitted that his tad military judgment in that particular case had j as titled the epittet. The man who admitted this would not dismiss Bismarck. The Germans waat the strong government the chancellor sites them. It is necessary, when you consider the daugveua position of the country, and the attitude of France and Kuesia. it Mexico were as strong as France, and Canada as Russia we would need a strorg government in this country, and we conld not afford to have any Frank Lawlers y9lpingln Congress. The Ueriraa Parliament has no power to oust Bismarck. It can taes a million votes of censure und lack of confidence, but he will not be disturbed by them. No, the death of either the Emperor or Crown Prince will not disturb (ierman politics. T-ie government of Bifcmarox will last." A. SENSATION SPOILED. Aller! tteaatiea Who. -Chew rite Toatco and Are Not- Even Bica. Savannah 5ews.l Tha Atlanta (Ga.) papers are filled with sensational accounts o2 how two beautiful and accomplished ladias of that city fell in love with and married two negro men, one an si-convict and the other the cwner of a notoriously bad character. Tbe females ara quoted as being suite wealthy, one of them being worth :ouw to ,uw, ana the other was nearly as rich. They are credited with getting this money from the division of their lather s estates which was sold at administrator's sale for $50 000. Citizens of Atlanta who are familiar with the history of the family which has been brought into such prominence, are laughing over the accounts which have found their way into the papers. Several years ago there lived, abo&t hve miles from Atlanta, an old man by the came of Hujh Dunning. While walking on tbe track of the western Atlantic Kailroad one day he waa killed. He left a wife and three children. The eldest was Maggie, the next Matilda, named after her mother, and the third Susie. Since Dumping's death the family, or at least the mother and her daughters Matilda and Susie, have been living immoral lives. The old woman commenced drinking hard, and still keeps np the habit to an excessive ex tent, while Matilda and 8usie have been keeping the society of negro msn. Matilda claims to have married a negro by the came of Frank Peacock, and Susie, while calling herself Mrs. White, says that she is the wife of Green Jacks jn, another negro. Both of the women are of the commonest character, in addition to their manner of enjoying social l,fs w i of them chew plug tobacco and aiia w. live on enufi. Their manner of conversatioi is anything but choice, and in general terms they are anything but respectable. When Dunning died his entire estate consisted of 13Ö acres of land, which was sold at administrator's sale for $l!t.50 per acre, I believe, to F. M. Coker, the banker of this city, and a lot In the city of Atlanta, worth probably $1,000, The proceeds were to be divided equally amorg the wife and her three daughters, the ditiaion being something like $1,500 for each. Susie, being a minor, was cot given her share of the plunder, but in some way got her handa on it and skipped out t3 Ohio with Green Jackson, a negro boy. She now claims to have married him, but the marriage certificate lacks ths signature of any official havicg the authority to perform any sue5 ceremony. Her sister was arrested ia Chattanooga some time ago, while HtIdr with Peacock, and eat out of her trouble by Claiming that she had negro blood la her veins and that she and Peacock were nos hand and wife. Both of the women are known to have had negro children. Tbe two Dunning women. Martin Holmes, Louella Carr and Qreen Jackson (the last tbrei negroes), are fonlioed at police asaJquaJr-. ten ii auap'Ot.

Tney must match the collar. As men's ve?tj are to be cut low, the p!?atei shirts will find much favor. Nothing in the shape of fancy percales and load colors will be tolerated. Tbe reign of '.tie black stockings is past and tbey are no longer fashionable except with black iretsss. The rule cow li for dress and stockings to match out cf dcors. The shapes in men's necktie are not novel. Tney will be the same 3 tbe tied four in hand, a -wide as ever for spr.ng, but growing narrower as the summer aivance3. High collars are not worn excepting with tailor-made costumes. Other costumes are made somewhat low at the nerk with inner frills or tuckers, or with sailor collars of soft silk. Tbe proper cane for this year will be a Bilver beaded Faglish hszl, or a eilvertrimmed bucknom, of the same wood. Tbe siaXwlll be a generous one, nearly an inch in diameter. Ia the matter o men's gloves thre is not much choico,- except in the shades tad those merge from a deep seal brown to pearl gray, rather dark. They are trimmed with heavy blaci braid. The preference' teems to be in tc lid colors. Challi Is used for house gowns for spring and summer; these are made in princess fashion, with flowing fronts of surah or of Valenciennes net tucked lengthwise, and ribbons drawn through the tucks. 8m sied surah fronts are also ou these light wool gowns. Cashmere draperies are not bordered or trimmed, but are ünished with a hem that may be sewed with blind stitches, or else tbe hem is three er four inches wide, and has two rows of machine stitching at the top. 3atques of wool dresses have one or two rows of machine stitches near their -edges. Tbe most ponular hat, especially for yocfcg men, will be the silk hat. Of coarse this refers to these who are inclined to be extremely fashionable. In shape it is medium bell, pith a good dip and curred close on the sides. No man of correct tastes, however, will wear a silk hat and a ea:k coat simultaneously. In bonnets and hats the crowns are on . ths decrease as are the trimmings. I a seme cites, indeed, lonnet. look more like cap crowns, being after the style of bonnets worn by Chatelaines in the middle ages and are covered with gold spangles or other metallic ornaments. The may, however, be made of clcth or velvet with the brims trimmed with fur. The tailor gowns imported are very dimply mads of Cheviot homespun, and the new weol mousselinein stripes or bare, or in plain colors. These useful gowns are designed for traveling, morning walks, thopplsg, etc., tbe legitimate purpose ef tailor gowns, to which Europeans have adhered, instead of havicg them made elaborate enough for reception and visiting toilettes. Tailor owns are made to fit smoothly without whalebones. French dressmakers, on the contrary, are using more whalebones than there are seams down the corsage, placing an extra bone in the middle o each of the four side forms of tha back. TheEe bones are covered, and are fastened only at the top and the bottom, being slightly longer than the spies outside them, so that they make the foria curve out shapely. Bordered wool dresses have a full lower ekirt made of four yards of bordered poods, with the border and the eelrage showiDg at the foot all around. Such skirts are oyer a foundation skirt, with which they ara joined only at tbe belt, where thoy are gathered in front, and loosly pleated behind. A large well-defined pleat, however, extends np each side to the belt, and thiar is slit at the top to allow a sash drapery of striped goods to pecs, under, forming an apron in front, and dropping in two behind. The ingenuity of the designer seems tola ve been exhausted in the matter of men's collars, for the most popular style is one that was very generally worn along about 1379. It is a standing collar, two inches high, with the tips well roiled. Thereare four di Cerent shapes, hswever, that will be quite generally worn, any one of . i v . ii . : 1 1 iL. - I 14 wmcu win enuue lae pcrauu weaxiufc i iw a seat in the front rank of fashion. One & known ae the inserted poin; it is two inches in front and one and a-quarter inch back. The other is a plain straight collar, two and a quarter inches high, with a satta of an inch and a half betwaaa tO points. Tne other is known as the "broken point" collar, and is tery similar to those wora at present. At a recent Queen's drawing room in ten don the following costumes were worn : The costume of the Portuguese. Bmbass&dress was mainly adorned with rosea. Her todice and train were of purely whltasilk. tbe latter beinr lined with pink satia. The skirt was a mass of fine old lace, draped over white silk. AH tbe rest were rooes of every hue, delicate and vivid. A great fragrant garland of them fell irom, tne lett shoulder across the bodice and down the soft folds of the lace to the wearer's satin c!ad feet. Mrs. Parkinson 8h&rie, an American lady who presented a pretty daughter, wore a dies of brocade, in which the tones were pink and mauve, blecded auite harmoniously by a foliage of shaded gold and green. The train waa of apple leaf green satin lined with the same material in bright app'.e-bloswm plDk. With this dress a bouquet ot rare and lovely crchids was carried. Mrs. I'd sips, the Americsn Minister's wife, wore a bodice and train of black velvet, the latter lined with salmon colored satin. The tkirt was of old-world picturesque broc de, the ground being pearl-color shot with gold. Tbe design was flowers, of subdued and arsthetie coloring, set In a aur rounding hszsofgold. There were also "trices in tbe brocade, entirely of gold, having tha effect ol gold lace set Into the material. The Princess Beatrice's dress shone like burnished bulllion, bains: mainly of an Eastern substance so cleverly wrought In gleaming gold that la seemed one quivering mesa of molten metal. Ot heliotrope silx was the skirt, heavily fringed with gold, and with a goldca panel at each aide. The train, caught ap aa it Ws, looked absolutely liquid as the light played upon its glitteriog surface, whilst the bodice, had it not been for a most feminine berthe aud dainty sleevelets o heliotrope crepe, would have seemed at though her Royal Highness had donned au Ama zinien cuiraaee of the precious metal. A n)Velty, which looked at least seasonable, was worn with aremaxkably good white, and eray drees. It was long boa of oft rraetfnllr eurlioK ostrich feathers.
