removed at his death TO Aix-la-C hapelle,
but afterwards restored to Italy. 1t was
preserved as one of the insignia Of the
Holy Roman Empire, and used in the
coronation Of fifty Emperors, during a
period Of one thousand years. In 1895,
when the armies of the French Revolu-
ton overrun Italy, the iron crown was
transported to Vienna; but when the
house Of Austria, after the defeat of
Austerlitz, was compelled to renounce
the old imperial title, the iron crown,
with the kin gdom Of Italy, fell into the
possession of Napoleon I. 1t was recov-
cred by the Emperor of Austria in 1914,
and kept at Mona, near Milan, till the
French-Italian war Of 1859, when it was
placed, for greater safety, in the fortress
of Mantua, but has latterly been kept at
Vienna. 1t is doubtless one of the most
authentic and interesting relics of histo-
rical antiquity existing in Europe.-AHus-

6SsH1s to Us madness On the part OF Herr Won
Bismarck to think OF settling tho question Of

HerT Won Bismarck Is succeeding more and

A fortnight ago the ENG Of Prussia still held
aloof from the parties IN his cabinet, aud, ,al1er
having heard yarions opinions expressed in

ment, It was therefore to be hoped that the
Courts would remain agreed, notwithstand-
9E the difference Of the Cabinets, and that
~ fhmF M william u: would e1nde within axcd lin
marck. This hope has been violently dis
turbed, since the King signed tho decree Of
