SOCIAL ASPECTS OF EMS.
There never was such place or titled people az
this small, out OF the way town; and there they
are to be seen all waking aoout every morning to
the sound Of slow music, not OF the exhiarating
Sort 1t is curious to notice how very plainly they
dress. Princes, who own half province, and kings
can hardly be distinguished from respectable shoe
makers as far as clothes are concerned, ana there
is hardly a lady among The dense crowd about the
Kurhaus whose dress Is worth $50. Indeed, there
is good deal OF lear OF the rain among them for
showers accompanied by thunder and lightning,
are not nirequent, and every one Is prepared for
q sudden scamper to get out Of the wet. Most OF
the people rise early, break asst at nine, battle and
sleep till noon then dine about one O'Clock and
pass the close OF the day in visiting and driving
about the neighborhood. There IL good deal OF
matchmaking going on, and dancing in the even
ing, but no open gambling Ems used to be
favorite resort OF the French, and they have
now again begun this year to revisit it for
the first time since the war. The German
royalties too, have attracted great numbers
of the higher class OF military officers, and the
presence Of the Emperor OF Russia has brought
many persons from tue great world OF st. Peters
burg, with the chiefs OF the rich Polish nobility,
rum about them. The supposed efficacy OF the
waters in the first period OF consumption also en-
tees innumerable pretty girls with fair hair and
blue eyes, to the baths OF Ems.
THE ADJUSTMENTS OF EMS
many ana various. In the first place IT Is full
OF good society, and every third person one meets
is at least prince or a baron. There are also
stray kings and queens in reasonable quantity, so
that people in search OF fine acquaintance may
have their hearts, content. Then there are con-
certs, balls, demure theatrical pieces, with nothing
improper in them. and heaps OF illustrated news
papers. Moreover, what may be called first rate
free fishing is to be had without asking permission
from anybody, and a keen sportsman who was
not afraid Of getting up early In the morning
and staying out too late at night, has been
reported, on good authority, to have once caught
q small trout after three weeks chase OF him.
Shooting can likewise be Obta ned by the simple
purchase OF license and II is said that there Is
wandering partridge still roaming at large within
two days march of the Kursaal, though his where
abouts is only conjectured by donkey-man in
search OF permanent employment. Young gentle
men fond OF dressing themselves in nautical cos
tune will find an opportunity OF dong SO on the
banks Of the Lain, aud when they are appropri-
ately attired they may get into little boat, and
If they paddle their own canoe with sufficient
dexterity 1t is quite possible that they may not
60 ashore oftener than twice every three minutes.
EXCURSIONS ROUND EMS.
The great thing to do here is to put on pair OF
white trowsers and then hire a donkey with Q
red saddle. Being thereby assured Of producing
picturesque effect at a distance, one may go
and catch cold at the Balderley Hin, where the
atmosphere Is agreeably diversified by scorching
sun and high wind. Thence the enterprising
traveller may behold the Kurhaus and wish that
he was back there in safety, ior even d0nkeys
sometimes stumble, and the way down Is steep
and stony. The little town OF Nieuwild also offers
good point for an excursion, and boasts OF q
beer house with all the materials for Irritation
near at hand. Then there are the silver mines;
the Forest House near Coblentz; the famous fort
ress OF Ehrenbreitstein, and the sweet valley Of
the Lain passing through Fachbach, HOrcheim
and PfaifeDdorf; charming villages which seem
like jewels set in silver by the bright stream which
goes glitterng round them. The noble castle OF
Stolzenfes on the left bank OF the Rhine Is worth
seeing; and one OF the walks on the Malberg.
which is called the Henriettenweg, after late
Archduchess of Austria, deserves prize from any
society for the encouragement OF matrlmonys
There is pavilion OF moss at the end OF 1t which
seems especially mace for proposals OF marriage.
Wiutersber9 Fruecht, Dausenau and the ancestral
castles OF the Dukes OF Nassau all worth seeing
and are within an easy distance from Ems.
