MANtAhs
Do YOU recollect the name and fame Of
Lola Monies? As a personal ~favOrite
and political agitatOr in the palace of
Munich she has just had q successor in
Herr Wagner, the composer Of the
TaunhaUser and inventor Of a new but
more eNJravaEant than e~uphOneOus sort
Of music. The experience both these
celebrities have had Of Bavsrian court
life is singular IN itself, and offers a curl
Gus parallel. Old LugwigI venerated the
fiery danseuse 70 a degree which, for the
first time in hts life, made him publicly
set aside the authority Of the priests and
neglect their sensible advice to conform
% tie rules Of decency.
Young Ludwig II, his grandson, now
ruling the Bavariaps, with the accumu-
lated wisdom Of his twenty years, il his
artistic predictions are OF a nobler de-
scrpl0n taan those Of his grandsire,
VIII likewise indulge them with 8 NUM-
hoeuce which the country thought could
not be tolerated for any length Of time.
Lola Monies got s palace, an estate, and
8 high-sounding nobility title from her
doatiug hdmirer; Herr Wagner, whose
music Is perfection itselftO the ears Of his
loyal friend, had large sums presented
him for tAe composing Of divers operas,
The establishment OF singing academies,
and, 4 IL said, a variety 81 objects Of
partly artistic, partly political character.
Against both favOrites the court, no less
thanthe people, eventually rebelled. The
court, because II has been additionally
accustomed 70 suffer no one but q noble
man or 8 tried besEFocrat to come into
close and familiar contact with the Sow
ereign. The people because the tnhsbi-
Enb Of southeastern Bavaria-the Bava-
risn uroDer-have been always distin-
FUi,hed BY q strong provincial feeling,
and are extremely Jealous Of foreigners,
be they Pruzians or Spaniards, par
taking o. the good things o. their coun-
Try. Herr Wagner Is frOlu Dresden, and
accordingly regarded as much an ipryu-
der as ever wac Lola Monies herself. The
Enlmosliy OF the court supported as Il
WGs PRINCIPALLY BY the conservative sec-
ZION OF the people, naturally tended 20
plJch HIM ss well - bis fair predecessor
against the reactOnary party, which now
- eighteen years ago, reigns supreme In (
IRE Palace snd Cabinet u the Kingdom.
Thus what was originally z mere pep
sonBl attachment Of the King speedily
became political connection In either I
case, and Ludwig II, being 50 very
young, allowed himself as easily to % I
carried away BY his feelings and idiosyn- /

TOO infatuated 70 preserve the necessary
Bslf-c0mmand. Encouraged by tndo-
lence lola Monies AZ length presumed 70
attempt the expulsion Of the Jesuits, /
while Eerr Wagner, il appears, declared
against Herr Won P-hstermeister, the om-
np9tent secretary Of the King, only dis
blacea ans royal patron from the appoint
ment OF some reacti0nay officials. But
lne court proved TOO much for both Of
them b priests denounced the one no
less than the other. The papers binted
At The cnurca being possibly endangered
by their presence ia the capital. The
people began 10 murmur, and the minis
ters TO look grave.
al last the old King was coercAd bv
open violence In the spring Of sisEfssS
hundred and forty-eight snd the younU
King obliged to yield 70 serious remone
STRANGE a day OF twO ago. Lola Monies
was chased away by 81 infatuated mob
and had to fly for her life; Herr Wagner
as the Bavariaa official Gazette an
nounces IN solemn terms, has been re-
quested by the King TO start On a jour
and absent himself for q few months
Bavaria Is quiet again, and peace has
returned 70 her homes and her hresides.
Is singular, but highly Characteristic
OF the state Of the country that on the
mere ground Of their receiving the Kings
patronage there should be such striking
sfmilarity between the fate Of a ballet
~ and q gentleman who, whatever
nav be- said against his music, is q re-
pectable man and q man Of ability.
