The little boy VAS equal n the coca
,ion. With an agreeable smile upon his
pretty face he replied:
'SIre, u have NJ white hairs, AZ !
have SEN upon my grandfather, Louis
XIV. You Aill live n long time s,lll."
When the king took his leave, the Czar
crowned the interview by taking him in
his arms, carrying him m ire aft c,inn
a,cly than ever, aud placing him in hi,
carriage.
R,yal etiquette being thus satisfied,
the emperor entered upon his. six week,
| OF sightseeing with all his characteristic
ardor, jumping into the first carriage he
saw empty, and asking que.tions of
anybody and everybody, workmpn, sol.
diers, children. princes, who could tell
him what he wanted to know, attendi, q
usually to things Of real importance. HIS
questions showed genuine intelligence,
and the objects which he selected for
purchase were such as a patriotic ruler
wonld naturally choose. Everything re-
lating to war was most devoutly studied.
and he liked to visit the soldiers in their
| barracks and hospitals. He tasted their
soup and their wine, slapped them up IN
the back, and called them his comrades
This man, Peter, was an incredible
compound of the patriot and the tyrant,
the king and the hog. Twice day he
devoured meal that astnunded every
bsholder, and between them he was con-
tinuaily calling for beer and other drinks.
st. Simon relates that he would drink
| commonly at dinner bottle or two OF
beer, two BOTTLES of wine, some cordial.
and finish the repast by swallowing halt
pint Of brandy. Even at the opera,
! seated in the regents own box, surrounded
by the most brilliant company tina
| could be GATHERED 10 Europe, he could
| not refrain from asking if any beer could
be had. The politene.s of the French
was adequate to the emergency. A COB
| let of beer was brought. The regent
himself rose, took the tray and handed
the beer to the Car, who, with only II
smile aud mol, drank it and put the COB
let back on the tray, which the regent
| still held. But even this was not all. The
duke next handed him plate upon which
there was a napkin. Peter, quite as a
matter Of course, took the napkin, used
it, and put it back upon the plate which
the duke then handed to the person who
had brought it. All this, astonishing a,
it may have seemed to the spectators,
passed without remark. In the fourth
act the Gear found that he had had enough
of opera, and went away to supper.
Never was so great man 50 lowered
by excuses. They made him on many
occasions perfect savage, and we may
almost say that they neutralized the good
which he did to his country.
| Upon his leaving Paris there was a
grand exchange of presents. The little
king gave him two gorgeous pieces OF
Gobeiin tapestry, and wished to give
him diamond.h ilted sword also, but the
Gar declined accepting the sword. Peter,
on his part, distributed sixty thousand
francs among the kings servants who
had waited upon him; aud to the French
gentleman most concerned In making his
stay agreeable be gave his portrait sur
rounded with diamonds, and several gold
and silver medals. Towards the end of
June he and his retinue took their leave
of Paris, greatly to the relief of the regent
and the government generally. Kings
and emperors, whose entertainment cost.
six hundred crowns = day, should make
their visits . little shorter. FreIcame:

evidently their oPini n. particularly when
