FRANCIS JOSEPH.
The Emperor of Austria, Francis Joseph
who is now at the head of his formidable
army In Italy, is still in the prime of life, and
young enough to be the son of his Imperial antago
nist-the one being fftv-one years of age the other
born August Is, 1880, not yet twentynine years of
age
His father, the Archduke Francis Charles brota-
q T. Of he lat
ed-Was, and Is, generally regarded as sort of
idiot. Weak of mind and health. he never played
any political role in Austria, and was completely
ruled by his wife, the famous Archduchess Sophia
Prlncess OF Bavaria, a sister of the Queens of
Prussia and Saxony, and of the late King LUDWIG
the renowned patron of arts of Jesuits and of Lola
Montez. The people of Vienna, inclined as all
nonmlgratory people are, to small talk about high
persons, know and tell, although in private cir
cles, many scandalOus stories about the family life
of this piOus most Catholic princess. We will not
repeat them because the peculiarties of the moth
er should have nothing to do with the life and char
acter of the son, the sketch of which we are about
to give to readers.
One story, regarding the Emperor himself we
may be allowed to relate. When the Young Arch
duke, the present Emperor, Francis joseph, was
born, Vienna wit baptised the baby with the name
"des drme Wdserle," which, in the Vienna dialect
has double signihcation, meaning ga pool faith
erless child" and at the same time, 'IttIe son
OF Wasa"-having reference to the Prince Gustav
Wasa the son OF the pretendent of the royal crown
OF Sweden, and at that time colonel of reoiment
at Vienna, and Chamberlain of the Emperor Fer
ainand.
Much credit need not be given to this scaudaIuus
story, not because of too high idea of the vir-
tue of the imperial mother but rather nv soma
reason, which we could call natural historical
reason. If you look the Young Emperor Won
see, indeed, the same tall, slender shape the same
front, the same beautiful eyes, ani even the same
style OF moving and walking, in the Prince Wasa:

Lotheringen, that is, the big under lip the Maria
Theresa lip the signature HdpsJurqensis as history
calls it; and it is difficult to believe tha such
historical lip, as the malignant Vienna Court la
dies and chambermaids will make YOU believe
could merely be the effect of the peculiar atmos.
phere in the imperial "Burg,'' and of the perma-
nent looking on of the numberless big Tipped por-
and state rooms.
Putting aside this lip, the young Emperor is a
decidedly handsome man, full of manly grace, a
really gallant homme in the saloon an excellent RI
der on horseback, and the best dancer at the pri-
vate and court calls. He therefore has been since
his youth, the pet of all ladies' who regard him and
the banished Archduke Stephen as the most hand
some, the most clever and the most agreeable prn-
ces of the twentyseven Hapsburgian Archdukes
As the presumptive heir of the imperial throne
Emperor Ferdinand being childess, and his father
belng real nobody" he got, as may be supposed,
an excellent education. General Hauslab and the
chlei commander OF artillery, General Aupustin
were his military structors.
In natural history, and in the practical sciences
as physics, chemistry, national economy the Young
prince had teacher equally renowned as his mill
tary instructors. This was Professor Baumparten
the same savant who was the tutor and instructor
OF the unhappy Duke of Reichstadt, the chid-king
OF Rome, crowned in the cradle, died and buried
at Schonbrun, the son Of Napoleon l., whom official
documents nowadays call, and perhaps history
VIII call, Napoleon Ii. Under such leaders we are
IN hat
ocre talents ought to make good progress. and
must have obtained a more than ordinary good
education. But Francis Joseph was and is really
more than commonly talented man. The writer
OF this sketch, living before ls4s at Vienna, had
several times the opportunity to speak to General
Hauslab about his young pupil, and was repeatedly
assured by this gentleman that he General Haus-
lab) had never seen boy of such quick concep-
tions and such quick learning as the young Arch
duke
An English gentleman, a Mr.. Thorn, if we re-
member rightly, who gave him lessons in the Eng
lish language, was equally astonished about his
great talent for learning and speaking foreign Ian
guages. 1t is we'll known that in 1850, the Emperor
being only twenty-one years of age, gave at Pesth
to hungarian deputatiOn, an answer-not pre-
pared, but extempore-in the Hungarian; at Peter
warden to a Serbish deputation, in Serbish; at
Clausenburg, in Pennsylvania, to Roumaic depu-
tatlon In Koumalc, and to Polish deputation, at
Lemberg, in Polish language, with extraordinary
correctness and voublty. 1t is said that he speaks
thirteen languages perfectly, and that he is in the
Imperial Council the only man who understands all
the languages of his vast empire.
His bodily development kept almost an equal
pace with his mental progress. In the sixteenth
year of his age the slender boy stood nearly six feet
high. Since that time he lived in the STYLE of what
we would call in New York a fast young man.
Therefore, in the letters written bv his nephews
the sons of Archduke Raner, intercepted and pub
lshed by the revolutionary government at Milan
IN !S49, he is called by the nickname of &c The Pre-
coclous Boy" Mile. Wildauer, the beautiful SOU
brehe of the theatre der Wieden, was his first
favorite. She lived in the same house with Gene
raj Augustin, and the young prince, under the pre-
text OF paying visit to his strageical master in
stead OF seeing the old general preferred tetea-tee
with the rarissdnte actress. Having assembled the
Imperial throne, he did not change this style of
living, and he was the first Emperor who set aside
the old Spanish court ceremonial
Inc vienna people can tell hundreds of stories
about the amours OF their young Emperor; one will
tell you about the dark eyed handsome Bohemian
prima donna, Mile. Theresa Swartz. the Alboni of
'ienna, who enchanted the young Emperor in her
role IN "Lucretia Borgia" so much that he gave a
beautiful house for kiss of the rauissde Romeo
another tells you the romance about the Foresters
Marie, who to see the Emperor, arranged the great
and brilliant hunting parties in the forest of Styria;
a third one relates the rather somewhat scandalous
story about the 'Cigar Marianne for whom he
fixed up cigar store in the entrance of the imperial
Burg, to have he said loosely, 'the consolation
of her beauty in the neighborhood of his work
snOps. vi course, all OmcerS Dought tnelr cigars
at Maranne's, and the poor girl got rich in some
months.
There is romantic story about the two daugh.
ters of the banker and lottery ticket merchant
Perisutti-the beautiful sisters, Juliette and Mari
ette. One suddenly married to Major, who be-
came, as reward, adjutant of his Majesty, and dis
appeared then to unknown parts; the other mar
ried to of the generals, who perhaps, now will
gain military honors in the Italian campaign.
The Austrians, especially the people of Vienna
DO not look such things seriously as the peope
of England and America would do. On the con.

Inc only lasting evil consequence of this youthful
Duoyancy is the great and generally detested n6u-
ence which is exercised over the Emperor by the
famous Count Grune, his permanent companion,
