There is one contingency, hover, which
ie1cltes our apprehensions. There are &.
great many people at, Paris this season,
and the Hotel de Tuilleries will necessar-
lily be crowded. This may make it nec-
essary that some two of these crow ned
glests should be put in the same room.
How they can be paired off without dam /

could take but one at a time; and the
problem is how was he TO manage so that 1
the fox would not have an opportunity to
devour the goose, nor-the goose to indulge
Its appetite for corn. But this is SIMPLE

T. Sllll we have no fears that the meeting
Of these royal visitors will lead to any coli

will be distinguished by ota4lothat suavisyi

and to extend to him the assurances of
his distinguished consideration, and
straightway they will have a pleasant chat
about that little Luxemburg matter. and
will tell each other about the guns and
other nice playthings that they were pre-
pared to amuse each other with. Them
Joseph will be delighted to see Freder

other with cheerful "reminiscences Of that
pleasant meeting at Sadowa. In the
mean time Alexander and Add aAzie q
will be hobnobbing and conversing joyial-y

will tell Abdul about the pretty soldiers
whom he is getting ready at Sebastopol

Its stated that Queen Victoria, Oscar
of Sweden, and Leopold of Belgium, will
be there to join tile royal..party. Only one
thing is wanting to complete the family

is to be regretted, for the English. Ian
guage is, very imperfectly understood BY
most of the company, and he could speak
that piece without doing serious damage.
