The number of eccentric mona rchs
in Europe has been increased by the
accession of King Oscar H., oil Sweden
and Norway. Like nearly every
member OF the illustrious house from
which he has sprung, the new
Scandinavian ruler is . highly gifted
man, and, in spite of the stormy youth
through which he has passed, aud the
peculiarly wayward temper which he
has exhibited on many occasions, the
people of the two northern kingdoms
look forward to his reign with the
confident expectation that the liberties
of the country will be safe in his hands,
and that he will perform his arduous
task as successfully as his illustrious
grandfather, Bernadotte They re-
member gratefully that Oscar always
lent his influence to the liberal party
during the political struggles in Sweden
of the past few years, and they recall
an incident to illustrate this fact
During one OF the most important
debates on the reform of the election
laws in the Swedish House of Lords,
he related with pride the remarkable
answer of his grandfather to the
French historian, Ampere, during a
visit which the latter had paid him at
the royal palace at Stockholm
Ampere had expressed his surprise at
the simplicity of his reception at the
hands of King Bernadotte. "Oh,"
replied the latter, laughing, that is
nothing! What am | but a Republi-
can on the throne?
The history of King Oscar up to the
present time is full of the most
interesting incidents. He was a
precocious child, aud would have been
the pride and delight of his teachers
but for his wayward disposition. His
father, Oscar l., was great disc iplina.
ran, aud insisted that his two sons
should be treated by their teachers
with the same severity as ordinary
school boys. He himself would
examine their compositions after school
hours and, when he found that they
were not satisfactory, he would
administer with his own hands the
required correction. Having received
several rather painful castigations in
this manner, the young Prince Oscar
in his 18th year ran away from home,
aud succeeded in finding his way to
Copenhagen, where emissaries of his
DISTRACTED parents found him playing
in thu streets at marbles with some
ragamuf6ns. No European Prince
ever presented more ludicrous aspect
than young Oscar when he was thus
found, barefooted and his clothes solled

You have often asked me for my

his royal father by cooly iuformin, him
that he had fallen desperately in love
with the daughter of one Of the
University professors, and was
determined to marry her.
AS matter of course, King Oscar
would not permit this; and the Young
man was recalled to Stock holm, where
he was not long in becoming very
popular by his unaffected manners, and
by the simplicity of his conduct. He
delighted in walking through the streets
of Stockholm after nigh,fall in an
