upon accurate information.
cit seems strange" said the King. 'sbe-
cause the Grand Duchess is a member of the
Greek Church. should think the members
of the Protestant Church in England would
object to prince having wife of another
faith. Still, if true, that has been well con-
sidered. The alliance Of Russian princess
with an English prince is an unusual event
and should be most gratifying in many ways.
1t shows how nearly the nations are coming
together. Nor does religion keep them SO far
apart as before. In the matter of religion
Sweden is fortunate. We have practically
only one Church here-the Lutheran Church"
RELIGION OF SWEDEN.
Your correspondent asked whether the
Lutheran was the only established, recog-
nized Church
s'Oh," he said, I'VE recognize all churches.
In that respect Sweden and Norway could not
Catholics in society and in the court, but not
enough to make any impression upon our
legislation or our society. The coronation
ceremony was altogether Lutheran. I hope
you saw it WE'LL
THE CORONATION.
Your correspondent indicated the position
assigned to him, in the centre gallery OF the
church.
''You could not have had better position"
said the King. ':But what pity the weather
was SO unpleasant. But even that had its
compensations. 1t showed that the people
were resolved to make holiday Of it and be
merry in spite of the storm. was much
pleased and moved by the demonstrations of
loyalty. A monarch has grave responsible
ties and duties, and receives encouragement
to attempt them from support like this. Then,
did you observe the number of the ambas-
sadors?"
Your correspondent said that it seemed as
if the other monarchs were anxious to pay
him unusual honor.
'tDoes it seem so?" the King said, with
much animation. THAT was most gratifying
not only the fact that SO many ambassadors
were sent but their station and character.
They were all men of the highest rank and
fame in their own countries. Next to the
enthusiasm of the people nothing pleased me
more than this attention from the other
nations By the way, do you know your
American Minister?''
THE AMERICAN MINISTER.
Your correspondent said he had the honor
Of knowing General Andrews.
''Well," said the King, II want to say,
before forget, how much pleased am to
have General Andrews at our court. He is
not only respected by the court, but is much
liked by the people. I remember no Minister
from your country who was more highly
esteemed He is o clever, amiable and worthy
man, and 1 am SO glad to say So By the way,
did he not fight under General Grant,"
Your correspondent said he believed General
Andrews did not fight directly under General
Grant, but at Mobile.
ADMIRAL FARRAGUT
ooh, yes" said the King, sat Mobile.
Let me see, that was where Farragut COM
manded''
Your correspondent answered affirmatively.
"Farragut was great man. We liked him
very much when he was here. But your Gen.
eral Gnnt-I should like to see him very
much. 1 wonder if he will visit Europe
WILL GENERAL GRANT VISIT EUROPE?
1t was said to His Majesty that the Presi-
dent could not very well leave the country
during his term, but that nothing was more
probable than that General Grant would visit
Europe when his present term expired
"That will be when ?" asked the King.
"In 1871"
"But he may be elected another time"
answered His Majesty.
Your correspondent answered that such
thing was possible, but not probable.
"You do not mean that there is law
against such ON election" said the King.
'.No law" said your correspondent, ''but
tradition that has almost assumed the force Of
law"
GENERAL GRANT "a MAN OF SUPREME RESowN"
swell, then," said the King, I'VE may,
