OF the long continuance of the dynasty. The
peculiar scent Of these flowers of rhetoric Is said
10 be particularly agreeable 10 the imperial nos
trils, and every opportunity Of gathering them
is eagerly seized upon by the government
papers.
The prospect Of immense business 70 be exc

sOlsmnity TO this return which has placed il quite
out Of the usual course of a mere imperial reno
val from one residence TO another, and make rs
look on al aghast, on tiptOe, to catch the first
glimpse Of the shadow which coming events are
said TO cast before them as they approach. The
visit Of the King OF Denmark is still spoken Of
as probable, and the ides Of his Majesty sharing
the imperial hospitality Of COmpeigne with bis
Majesty Of Prussia is not combstted as yet, al
though, from inquiries made at the chateau, no
notice Of preparation for the reception Of double
royalty mas been officially made as yet.
The King of Denmark, IS we all know, is
not his own master, but led captive by the light,
vet strong, bonds Of the c~TinOline, worn in males
tic amplitude by the Countess Danner, into
which, they say in Denmark, that his feet have
got so helplessly entsngled that be cannot move
q step save In the wake Of that Wondrous petit
coat without danger Of being tripped up. The
COUnteSs Danner is a s-trong-minded woman.
She has risen from the ranks Of the people, having

people for al that, and has always belonged 20
the conservative party.
The KNOWLEDGE of this fact makes it doubtful
even yet whether his Majesty of Denmark viii
be allowed to visit the Court Of the TuIiieIies,
which, whatever claim 70 yenerstiOn its mem
bers may possess, certainly can not reckon that

u the conviction Of the termination about that
epoch Of all necessity Of personal consideration

The worEmen's meeting at Florence has given
tie government here a terrible blow. The vanity
and folly Of half measures is brought so clearly
before the eyes Of the people that all discussion
upon the events of tie meeting, as well as al
mention Of Massoui have been strictly forbidden
in the journals. This new hero who appears
upon the Italian stBge has become in an incredi-
