midnight and afterward slept comparatively
we'll. The room was darkened and the suf-

AFFECTION OF THE pEorLE.
So great was the sympathy Of the entire
populaco that all vehicles avoided the
neighborhood, and the vast crowd of people
who kept vigil before the palace were as
silent as though they stood in the sick
room.

tea and toast. The Empress, the Grand
Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden-the
Emperor's only daughter, who, it will be

her fathers side on the occasion Of the at
tempt upon his life by Hoedel-arrived
early.

The meeting was exceedingly affecting,
and both wife and daughter knelt at the
side of the couch, offering prayers for the
Emperors life. The scene was one never
to be forgotten, and thu physicians and
nurses withdrew to the antechamber, in
recognition Of the sacredness of the mo-
ment.

pale. while from his white beard was
trickling blood.
FALLEN MONARCH.
With his eyes half closed, and his MARBLE
like face, he was as mighty statue help
lessly reclining in the arms Of his servant,

spectacle of the wounded Emperor, as
seen by the people Of Berlin, was such
L.. Ar
