ministers. who. in return for her patron
age. cling TO her person and her table with
the tenacity ofiyy; and, like the lVy,Would
be in dust tomorrow, but for the support
10 which they cling. She is the only wife
in the empire who is not subject to her
husband -de jure, we mean; for far be it
from US to say that she is not subject TO
him de facto. If her being the wife of
Prince whom she has chosen for herself, !
be an ausplcious omen, her reign cannot
but be prosperous-as heaven grant it
mayl That her husband is worthy of
his good fortune, is proved by the fact that
all the world has been talking abou: him
forthe last twelve months, without uttering
word to his dispraise. He appears to
be winning golden opinions, by assimilat.
ing himself TO the English gentlemen--aE
character which the greatest monarch in
the world might be proud TO make his
model. ~~.~
FRANcE.---Louis Philippe, born in
1878. A man of three litles-Duke of
Orleans, King of the French, and Napo-
leon la Paix. The first, the work of birth
the second, the work of accident-the
third, the work of talent. His fortune has
been triple like his titles-f:st noble,
next Jacobin, and thirdly king. His
wealth is enormous, and he has used itior
three purposes; to enjoy the reputation of
being the richest man 10 Europe, to marry
his daughter to all the needy princes of
Europe, and to purchase the French by
gliding Versailles for the Parisians, hang
ing up fables of French battles, and de-
ghting them, from the king to the beg
gar, with the belief that they are the first
popuace in the world A people of con-
| Predictions, they are now, with one hand,
trumpeting challenge to Europe, and
with the other, digging ditch for the de-
fence of Paris. They have erected des-
pot under the title of "cjtizen king y
and, to revive republicanism, are bringing
back the bones of the haughtiest of en-
lperors.
CH1NA.-Taou Kwang. China is the
great tea warehouse ofmankind. A quar-
rel having been raised by some of its deal
ers, the warehouseman has shut up his
shop. Foolish as this was, the dealer:
stood on the point, and determined to starve
more foolish still. But this was mo-
enough. The warehouseman turned some
of his capital into powder and shot, anc
building up his shop windows, mounted
/ them with guns. The dealers, already hal
ruined, turned the tea money into cannon
balls and congreve rockets, and determin
ed to burn down the warehouseman, shol
and all, to force him to trade with then
again-most foolish of the whole. TIL
affair is going on still. and the dealers sa,
that when they shall have destroyed SOM
thousands of Chinese lives, and wastes
some millions OF British money, they viii
only be the more amiable on both sides
and will have the privilege of buying
more tea, and selling more poison thar
ever.
BELa1UM.-Leopold the first, born il
D. 1890. The luckiest OF the luckiest fami
Iy of Europe. An Austrian captain c
cavalry, who superseded the Prince c
r Orange in the alliance of the Princes
Charlotte of England, enjoyed penso
of g5O,OOO year for twenty years, {
which he saved every shilling, next super
seeded the Prince of Orange in the possess
ion of Belgium, and is now king on tn
: simple credit of having good leg, dom
nothing, and being Coburg.
Nicholas the first, born j
1904 daring, active, and ambitious de:
pot. He began by excluding his brothe
Constantine from the throne, and is SUI
posed to have the largest Gsophagus
any sovereign in existence. He has a

William the fourth, born
1895. Since the beginning of this yea
successor to his father, Frederick Wi
lam the third. His character is vet TO
known. lie is supposed lover of wa

else to do; and certainly no lover of Il
French, from his recollection of that me
