Tie SOUL OF THE KIM OF HANOVER.
The blind King of Hanover, says The Paris
correspondent of the New York Times
has returned to Paris to have another look
at the art treasures OF the city. for, al
though an indetatigable sight seer when
with us q year ago, he could not get
through all there was to be seen. Ibis
NAV seem an odd way of speaking Ot Il
blind man, but there is not much cxag-
geration about it, King George sees with
the eyes of his daughter, who has a faculty
possessed by few. With her father upon
her arm, She enters museum or asy
public place and begins conversation in
low, running voice, giving in Il few
words general idea of the room and, of
the people in it, then going into details
as they go on, The King enters like
man with good eyes, and. when on his
daughters arm, never fails to return the
salutes addressed to him from whatever
direction they may come. 1t is evident,
therefore, that there is some system of
telegraphy known to the two, and from
long habit the King has become so expert
that he rarely makes mistake At soree
he is led up to the host OF hostess, bows
at the right moment, and goes through
the ceremony with all the ease of man
who can see. He even pays most unex-
pected compliments, when the daughter,
without saying word telegraphs that :.
lady is young and beautiful; and when
surprise is expressed, King George gal
lantly replies that he sees with his soul.
