He said that the bearded scrt the naughty no
Bile, rich and poor were alike admitted 10 the
presence of the Emperor on that day, and that
consequently large body of armed men were
necessary TO preserve order. He said that while
leaning over the gilded railing of the enclosure
occupied by the diplomatic corps, he remarked
to the Emperor that the scenes reminded him of
home, when our people gathered around the Prs
idcnt to pay him homage. His majesty then
asked how didth people preserve order; they
have no armed force like mine! The speaker
replied, 1--WE have educnion; evry citizen consti-
