King Oscar's Good Health.

The remarkable health and vigor of King Oscar of Sweden Is the wonder of all his people. He has lately given new proof of his great activity, ii spite of his seventy years. The great review of the troops which took place July 10 to 20, in Ostergotland, was visited by the monarch. On a Monday evening he left Stockholm, and arrived on the field Tuesday. At 6 o’clock in the morning he was in the saddle, and spent nearly the whole morning on horseback, and personally directed the sham battle. After the exercises he criticised the movements, made a speech of thanks to the troops and went to lunch. In the afternoon he reviewed the soldiers, and in the evening went to dine at the governor’s castle In Linkoping. He left the castle at 11 p. m., and did not retire until lase. The next morning found him at his desk in Stockholm palace, dispatching official business, and later holding a council of state until late in the afternoon.
