EMPEROR WILLIAM THE LIFE OF THE PLACE
And he is right, the good and discontented citl-
zen; Emperor William is really the lifegiving sun
In Ems On the mornings promenade every one
ASKS Has the Emperor arrived alreadys And
then every one makes towards the colonnades to
See him, and is happy when successful In 80 doing.
But how simply, like common mortal, and with.
put any pretensions. the Emperor moves about!
Very often ne passes quite Unexpectedly through
alone and mods quietly and secretly to his acquaint
Rnces. for he never iorgets any one ii once he has
epoken to hIm, but is very satisfied II he is not

COUNT LEHNDoRF's DUTIES.
Ordinarily, however, he Is accompanied by Col.
Dnel Count Lehndorf his aide ds-camp for he pre-.
Iers chatting with him, who is his iavorte. And
no one deserves more to be the Emperors favorite.
He understands better than any one else how to
tmuse the Emperor; he recounts to him the little
bn dts OF the day; but he also takes pleasure In
giving his Imperial master the opportunity to do
good and be benevolent, and he Is pleased and de-
lighted when, through his intercession, he can
afford unhappy beings help and assistance. Count
Lehndorf is not only a charming gentleman,
but also good man, who Is always ready
10 please every one, and to use his innuence
In every just cause. The Emperor thinks
moro OF Lehndorfs recon .sendation than
OF that OF any other gentleman's of his suite and
he is always pleased to hear that Lehndorr is uni
versaly popular, and he Is proud OF his hand
some, knighty aide.de-camp.

When In 1869 the Crown Prince went to Egypt to
be present the opening OF the Suez Canal his I'M
peria father gave him his own aide-de.camp, Count
Lehndorf as companion. Before their departure
the Emperor nominated the Crown Prince com.
mander with the rank Of general of the cuirassier
regiment Queen Elizabeth-,he white uniform, the
golden helmet and the gllttering breastplate OF
which suited the tall form OF the Crown Prince
admirably well; and at the same time His
Majesty promoted Count Lehndorf from the
rank OF major to that OF colonel In
order that the golden fringe on the epaulettes
should not be wanting on his handsome uniform.

OF knghty manhood which Germany sent to those
ceremonies in Egypt.
EVEN THE EMPRESS EUGENE
was quite carried away by the nne appearance of
the Crown Prince Of Prussia. But not only the
ladies who were present at the splendidJstes given
by the Khedive were charmed by the
tall and proud Prussian cavaliers, but
wherever they went on their tour the
people were rejoiced and received them with en-
thusiastc acclarnation ons aud demonstrations. Once
when en- route to visit the Prince OF Lebanon they
came TO village through whose little street they
had to pass. Their arrival had been announced,
and all the male Inhabitants OF the village, arrayed
