Prince Napoleon Is the lion Of the day, and the good
OF good lion those who are dwelling on the banks
OF the Seine or the Thames. Like true lion hunters
little do they care why the lion came this way and
what he s after; 1t s enough for them that he Is iOn
and they don't trouble themselves much about the
rest Rarely have they had better lion, and curl
first real Napoleonide who has been seen in Vienna
since the first OF the race dwelt In Summer Palace
pean Continent the Duke Of Reichstadt lvingin the
memory OF people more as the son OF Marie Louise
than as the son Of Napoleon. The race Of men who
fought In the great French wars and suffered from
them Is well nigh extinct, and to the present gene
ration the name Of the first Napoleon recalls but an
got the better, while the victories of Magenta and
SOferno are more and more thought OF as the de.
feat OF the reaction rather than OF Austria herself
and, therefore, as the favorable turning point in her
anairs.
Ever since his arrival the approach to the Godenen
Lamm," where he lives, has been centre OF attrac-
ton, while wherever there is likelihood OF seeing
him you are sure to see crowds OF people, men and
women Among the latter the intelligence that he
down the desire Of seeing him; but for ali
that not one will miss the chances Of see
ing him, even If it be with little trouble. Nor
Is there any reason to complain in this respect for
faithful TO his openly avowed object to see every
state Of things he has been ever since his arrival on
the move taking every opportunity for stroll
In the town, and visiting the evening places Of pub.
to Vienna He Is easily recognized by his Napoleon
face and figure, as well as by the likeness to his
photographs, and he is mObbed as soon as recOg-
nized. On Saturday evening in the Volksgarten
there was quite rush made after him, and when
with b seT gs AndrssS and he retired to
circle round them, forgetting altogether that 1t had
struck ten and that the porter would only open the
door for the slight consideration OF ten kreutzers.
But yesterday Sunday was the great day. Il was
known that he would dine with the Emperor at
Schonbrunn and that afterwards there would be
q
tion OF b0rOlchdde-ttat, Is q drive around the
garden In court carriages. The day was beautiful,
the gardens looked their best, the fountains were
playing-al attractions In themselves sufficient to
collect Sunday crowd. With the additional atrac-
the Prince the large parerre before the chateau was
full OF people, many having been waiting for his
came in Closed ca,riave While manv morn as no
gated TO see the drive. In spite OF another disap-
pointment of seeing only everyday court carriages
instead of gala ones, with Positions and outriders
the crowd seemed in good humOr, for they cheered
the Emperor and his guest, and in general seemed
well satisfied with the unpretentious, easy going
manner OF the lion, which c0rresp0nded very well
with the idea formed beforehand.
According TO the present arrangements he is to
main Tor some days longer, then he Is to 20 to
Prague to see something OF that pretty town and the
Czechish movement and on the 10th he Is to go
To-day he Is to dine at Hetzing with the King OF
Hanover, and then 10 visit the Carl theatre IL is
where they could convince themselves that he was
friend OF Prussia and OF German unity, sentiment
he makes no secret OF here either, else he might
pect note for every dish which will he served at
the table OF the King OF Hanover.
IL, as fully believe he has no mission, but only
comes to see with his own eyes, the he his
opportunities the better It will be for all Sides for
clever man, as he undoubtedly is, cannot but soon
come to the conviction that the people Of Austria
are at this moment but little inclined for ven-
lures OF any kind, even In the best company, that
they have still a good deal to do to set matters
right at home and that above all there Is trace OF
any feeling OF vengeance for defeats which, however
Illuminating to vanity, have been means OF bringing
about more sound state Of things. All these old
ideas about missions to accomplish and Legitimate IN
nnences to exercise here and there and everywhere
are fast dying out to give way to desire OF neither
meddiing th other peoples affairs allowing any
one To meddle with Austrian Affairs.
