EXIT GRANDEUR WITH ROYALTY,
But then we enter upon the month OF August;
the Emperors have departed, and, as If by magic,
life in Ems assumes another form. ALI that be-
longs or thinks it belongs to what Ia termed
good society" follows the example of the EN-
per0rs. The "Bourgeois"-good, honest citizens
beer and play at cards, while their modestly-
dressed wives keep them company, side by side
occupied either in knitting stockings or in nursing
and fOndiing children.
In the month Of September these also disap-
pear and the only remaining denizens Of the place
are the hotel proprietors who congregate here,
smoking costly Havanas and drinking champagne.
They recount to each other the number OF high

money out of the strangers. On these occasions
they compare notes and come to resolutions that

THE FINALE.
This narrative wrote down yesterday and on
returning this morning from the Cursaal have
been able to verify the correctness of the state
ment furnished BY the good lady. Ems is exactly
as she described it. The Emperor took his depart
magic. The ladies are seen in travelling costumes,
taking the last morning walk and for the last time
show the giant bouquets presented, according to
custom, as farewell Offering. The gentlemen in
shoulders, are leisurely stroling up and down.
The very musicians are tagged and seem to play
uegligenty. Nothing is heard but monotonous
questions:-

Well, confess this Is question which oc-
cupies likewise my thoughts, as cannot stay here
among bored strangers.
No! My daughter and myself mad bid "goodby''
to the Curplatz; we have received our farewell
bouquets, and to the questions referred to we re-
ply 1--WE leave tomorrow, and after paying
short visit to the Duke Of Saxe.Coburg and his
noble Duchess, at Castle Kahlenberg, we intend to
go to Marceubad, in lovely Bohemia. FAREWELL
