very ntIoeious, that they never could forgive u.

what the Prince said was not only satircal, but
true.
never could understand ,chy the Prince used the
tomahavk so ru,hlessly on the British aristocracy
They bitterly offended him, some way or other, and
il was said that Lady Jersey had affected to Doubt
whether he really were German prince. But had
she made an enquiry from Queen Adelaide-who
then was only Duchess of Clarence-she could
have told her rho and what Prince Pucklef MusRau
was.
| During the fourteen years which have passed
since his visit to England he has been wanderer
upon the earth. IT, Turkey he spent n couple OF
years in Africa, fret and last was travelling for
double that time. In Spain, Hungary, Portugal,
Greece and Italy. From the East he brought

only inhabitants Of his harem-for that he has Also

could do so, for the man is rich. But these have
been fancies taken up and laid aside, on the within
OF the moment: his passion for beauttal horses APP
pears TO have "grown with his growth, and strength
ened with his strength" He has the noblest stud
of Arabian horses in the world. Wherever he goes,
they accompany him with a corps of Asiauc g'ooms.
Ii is a manly fancy, at all events.
ID sting ushed thus by his eccentricitics, his ia
Tents, and his rank, Prince Puckier- Muskau has
never failed to draw attention wherever he has gone.
A few weeks ago he visited Weimar, and the peo-
pie stared a, him as if he were the ninth wonder OF
the word-Gil Bias being the eighth, as the para
site told him. while eating his supper at the country
inn. For, oh the prince was determined to cut
dish. He had been invited by the Grand Duke to
spend few days with him at the Belvidere his
summer palace, and surely he nslonished him. FIRST
came all his Arab horses, each led by an Arab
groom; then, host of squires in the ianelful COS
tune OF the twelfth century; next, company OF
men a. arms, in chain eTmor and on horseback, like
the Fee Companions OF Walter de Montreuil, de-
scribed by Bulwer in the novel OF Rienzi then a
litter, borne on mems shoulders like on Indian pal
anqun, containing the beautiful Georgian Of CT her
dozen OF attendants with naked SABRE; then, on
milk-white Barb whose trappings glitiered with |
god and gems and arayed in the sumptuous at |
tire Of an Indian Rsjah the Prince himself, with
magnificent beard which reached TO his horse's |
name. One who saw the procession tod me It re
minded him OF scene from the Arabian Nights
Entertainments,-all was so glitterns, gorgeous, |
golden and arabesque.
Now, the Grand Duke and Duchess Of Welmar
are very yain people, and when this gorgeous ca
vacade advanced INFO the arena in font OF the Bel
yijere, they, homey creatures, were Of their wits
end to know what TO DO. They hadn't time TO de
liberaie, for the guest was at the gole So, down
they went 10 meet him. The Prince Fucker Mus |
kau came of hi. s,eed 10 make his obedenc. and
speedily vsu.,ing into the saddle, made his men-ai
arms get up a mimic tournament, rs effectively as
Andrea Ducrow himself could have done it. After
this, the Arab steeds were put through variety OF
almost incredible performances, each OF them an
swering to his name at the Princes call, and per.
forming ieals which even at Astley's, were never
equalled.
The Georgian was removed 10 the Princes rooms,
without any male eye having seen her ye:. The
Grand Duchess speaks highly OF her beauty. and !.
is not impossible that, as she is getting hrsi rate
education from himself, the Prince vii. need her,
believe the whole party continue al Wsimer, ihe
Grand Duke and Duchess being greatly pleased with
the Prince end his reiinus.
