of the palace, the KING and some OF his
friends were standing in the porch. lie
recognized Mr. Damteldt, from across
the wide grayeIled walk, by lifting his
hat to him; whercupon Mr.. ID. excused
! himself to us, and proceeded TO pay his
respects TO the King. The King in a

Sweden should take part in the EXPOSE
ton. | said to hlm that his personal
presence IN America would be cordially
welcomed by our people. Ilc replied
that that could not now be, and eX-
pressed regret that in his earlier life he
had not accepted the opportunity OF Wis

that it was possible that he might send
one of his sons. Thus our conversation
