TIE LAST HUMIffATION FOR PARIS :
From The NJ y. Times.
The Emperor of Germany was hoy of ten
years ole when the great NCorsicaui made hts
ltriumphal entry into Berlin, and carried off
The statue of Victory FROM the gate of Bran
denbprg TO deck capital enriched by the,
spoils of Europe. There Is probably no
lpeiiod of his life of which his mind still
bears a more vivid recollection than those
days of gloom aud despair, that Witnessed
tberetfeat ofSFredeTick William IH-and his
family 10 the last refuge of Konigsberg.
The star of the Prussian monarchy seemed
aboutto,set In endless night, the traditions
of Frederick the Great were about to
vanish along with the territory he had
acauiIed, end the Hohenzollerns were apps-3
rently doomed to sink into the rank of simple
Margraves, from which their greatness had
sprung. HIt is true that seven years later all
this was changed, that Leipsic had proved
Germany to be able to cope with the soldiers
of the first Empire, aud had enabled Blucher
to claim that ravished -emblem of victory
which the Parisiansn had dvdreamt they were
never to part with. Bat, great as must have
been the satisfaction with which PrincegWil-j
liam assistedat the campaigns of 1SlS-15, we
may safely assume that the profsnation of the
ancient seat Of his family and the capital
which his ancestors bad labored SO hard to
adorp, left q ranking wound in q, mind singu-
larly intense in its attachments and, wonder
fully unbendiDg in, its aptipatbies.i fr fi -f5fs
i To some such personal causes, as well as to
the existence of similar feelings in a large
section of the German people, must be as
cribed the inf1exible determination of the
Emperor William to make q triumphal entry
into Paris. What was good enough for the
capital, of, Prussia is not too much for the
capital Of France to submit to. The arch of
triumph that .commemorates, among other
things Jena snd the occupation of Berlin,
will look down upon the German hosts dark
enipg the bread .expanse of the Champs Ely
sees, and the Parisiansg must bednly grate-
full If the memorial of othe exploits of the
Grand Army does. not fnd1 itself denuded
of, some oof Rude choicest 'gronps, which
would form So Valuable 5 a T. contribution
to the Berlin O. Art q Museum Thus, the
stern old soldier of seyentyrfonr, suffering as
he is from the nervous prostration following
an unbroken stain of. -aboat seven months
duration, metes1 ont the retribution of the
capital that cheered its spoiled military dar-
lipgs with shouts of ''To Berln," Between
the wildly enthusiastic crowds of July, and
the sombre, silent citizens that will receive
the German soldiers, as they would great
public funeral, there is contrast which is as
mournful as. it is instructive. On certain
sections of the Parisian populace, it will

of the sReds" endeaYor to inspire the people.
On the great majority there is some reason to
hope that it may operate as a great moral les
son, pointing to the certainty that those who

reap the whirlwind. ,.,., - 2l '''"l
