One of the cleverest satires of the day is
an anonymous pamphlet, just issued, emit
tied "The Coming Crown" giving pro-
phetio pen picture of the coming Empire
under "His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Ulys-
Sos - It is illustrated with cut of q
crown such as is given at the head of this
article, and some of it's hits at the leading
restorationists are admirable. The chief
extracts are taken from the Court Journal,
dated Washington, September l, 1882, and
from the Imperial Standard, dated Wash
ington, October 1, 1882, to which various
kilograms are credited from different Sec
tions of the country, telling of the troubles
with such Insurgents as Blaine, Mast and
others, of the progress Of Imperialism, of
the gorgeous and numberless Imperial
troops and of the grand public improve
ments prosecuted under the Empire. The
following extracts will be relished by the
lovers of polished wit, whatever may be
their views of Imperialism:
HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, EMPEROR ULYSSES I.
From the Court Journal, Washington, Sep
TENDER l, 1882.
His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor Ulys-
ses l., accompanied by the Empress, the
Grown Prince Frederick and numerous
suite, arrived at the palace yesterday after
q weeks visit to the Duke of Pennsylvania
at his palatial residence, Cameron hall, Har-
risburg. His Imperial Majesty, we are happy
to announce, is in the best of health. The
imperial escort consisted of q battalion of
the Guards and two companies of the
Household Cavalry.
THE PRINCESS NELLIE.
Her Royal Highness, the Princess Nellie,
will not return to England. We are in a
position to state that the consort of Her
Royal Highness, Algernon Sartoris, ESQ.,, is
to be raised to the peerage under the title of
Earl of Granton. We further understand
that the Earl of Granton is to be appointed
Governor, with the title of Lord Lieutenant
of the Province of Illinois, and that it
is the intention of the Imperial government
to settle 100000 per annum upon his lord
ship. A vice-regal palace is to be built at
Springfield, the Privy Council having issued
an order for the razing of the capitol of the
former State of Illinois, and the residence of
the Lord Lieutenant will be erected on the
site.
LORD SHARON, EARL OF NEVADA.
Lord Sharon, Earl of Nevada, is expected
to arrive at the palace on the 5th instant.
His Lordship. who has, during the past
month, been entertaining number of the
Western nobility at his magnificent resi-
dence, Belmont Hall, San Francisco, is un-
derstood to have successfully conducted the
negotiations which resulted in California
giving her assent to the propositions made
by the Imperial Government. In view of
His Lordship's distinguished diplomatic SER
vices in thus eradicating the last vestiges of
Republicanism in the Western part of the
Empire, we have reason to know that His
Imperial Majesty intends comforting upon
His Loydshlp the honor of the order of the
Mailed Hand.
LORD SIMON CAMERON, EARL OF sUsQUEHANNA.
It is with great pleasure that we are en-
abled to announce the arrival of Lord Simon
Cameron, Earl of Susquehanna, at the
Palace. The venerable Earl and his son, the
noble Duke of Pennsylvania, will have the
honor of dining with His Imperial Majesty
tomorrow, when the Duke is expected to ar
nounced, Lord Simon was, some time ago,
appointed by His Imperial Majesty Earl
Marshal, the title remaining in the House
of Commons according to the law of prlm-
ogeniture.
Lord and Lady Hamilton Fish have ar
rived at the palace. Lord Hamilton will re-
ceive final instructions before his departure
for England as Imperial Minister to the
Court of st. James. Lady Fish will not, we
understand accompany the noble lord, but
will remain during the coming season in at
tendance on Her Majesty rs principal Lady
in Waiting.
wAsHBURNE, DUKE OF ILLINOIS.
Cards have been issued by the Duke of
Illinois for garden party at Washburne
House, the splendid residence lately COM
pleted by His Grace, and to which His Grace
has given the family name, for the evening
of the 18th inst. The noble Duke, whose
appointment as Prime Minister by His Inn
perial Majesty has given such profound sat-
Isfaction in court circles. will, we understand,
entertain during the coming season with du-
cal hospitality. Her Grace, the Duchess of
Illinois, returned from the country last week.
SIR o. f. BABCooK, PRINCIPAL EQUERRY.
Sir 0. E. Babcock, whose devotion to the
Imperial cause, and whose conspicuous gal
lantry at Albany, New York, when the Re-
publican army under Fenton was 80 COM
pletely defeated by the imperial troops, have
deservedly gained for him 80 many marks
of Imperial favor, is now, we are happy to
state, quite convalescent. He remains at the
Imperial villa, Long Branch, for few days
more, when he will return to the Palace to
enter on his duties as Principal Equerry in
attendance on His Imperial Majesty.
