A susss..I,. n..,,.s Of German prI.sv


Mr.. VIM. II. Russell, In his Vienna cor

picture at the opening Of the Vienna exposi-
ton, at was, in truth, strange congrega-
tion enough TO look at, even In this year of
grace, 1873, and In The individualities present
were recorded great changes In the history
OF the world. Three years ago II would have
been strange not TO have beheld the Emperor
Of France standing the.e haply on the right
OF the Kaiser, to whom he gave such potent
and unforgiycn aid In his time OF trouble
but now all Of France visible was grave,

Germany, as he, poised In his favorite atti-
tnde, stood with both hands on the huge
steel pommel OF his heavy sword, 1rInly rest
Ing on his right leg, and with his left ad-
yanced and bent at the knee. There was a
moral In the Interest with which an Austrian
crowd gaEed upon the heir 10 the throne Of
imperial Germany. How the ghosts OF the

should ever rage, and yet who would not
yield point OF national honor TO menace oi

this the presence Of the Crown Prince was a
pregnant commentary on the yaluc Of those
