pEuDYsHNEss At COURT.
IN. Y. Graphip.l

frincesS flo ANNE, Fshose sepaiatioh
from her husband, ITfnce Frederick
Charles of Germany, has been quietly
arranged by Kaiser William, has very
queer ideas of court life. She had proof
positive that the Prince was unduly fa
miliar with lady of the Court of En-
press Augusta, and accordingly she left
him in state of extreme indignation
and declared that she would never live
with him again. We suspect she is a
woman of rather tender experience,
whatever may be the number of her
years.
No married woman who loves her hus-
band has any business to join the kind OF
life that exists even at this period in the
foreign establishments called "courts.
Even the Court of Victoria, which is the
purest and best that Europe knows, the
low-necked dress prevails to as great an
extent as in oun owr fashionable assem-
blages. though the Prince Of Wales may
his royal self be unavoidably absent.
The Queens daughter at Berlin, the
Crown Princess, is said to have had fire.
quent occasions for jealousy in the mad
vertant lapses of her Fritz, and her royal
mother-in law the Empress has had very
often to pat her soothingly on her flushed
and swollen cheeks and tell her it was
nothing-she must get used to it. The
Car who was blown up had several
wives. His life with his Empress was
one Of continuous sorrow, the lady finally
dying of broken heart; and to-day the
woman Dolgorouki is known as his late
Majesty's widow, and with her children
is amply provided for by the money his
Majesty left her. The present Gar has
been warmly attached to circus girl,
i much to the distress of the little woman
from Denmark who shares his crown;
and if there is no poison in this case, as
j there was in several serious ones long be.
i fore the period of the later Alexanders,
4 it is because of better patience and q
a great advance in Russian civilization.
j The court life at Madrid has driven u
pure woman, Queen Christina, back to
her mother for protection and consolation,
for the blood of Isabella runs full and
swift in the veins of Alfonso. The pa.
tience and goodness of Alexandrowna,
sister of the Czarina, have repressed the
evil tendencies Of the Prince of Wales to
some extent, but there are new scandals
in which he is too intimately connected
from time to time. The late Victor
4 Emanuel left two separate and distinct
families, each as good as the other; and
his death produced soreness of heart
81 not very much greater than that which
attended his existence to the end. The
late Louis Napoleon was watched by
sharp and handsome pair of eyes to some
IN purpose; but he was far from being proc
against the looseness which seems to be
long to life at Court, as was the gentle
man of st. Helena, who put aside low
and duty whenever that sacrifice becam,
necessary to the qualification of his am
bition.
~ What is this German Princess thinking
of? Would she have court life with tn
court left out? Would she have he
husband assume virtue which does no
belong to his position and which his su
periors laugh at Would she make tina
poor man ridiculous? Is not lascivious
ness necessary and unavoidable part o
foreign hereditary responsibility? Woul'
she change the blood which has gener
ously taken her into its rapid and swollel
current and is carrying her on to glory
Let this curious lady go to! She
meddling too much with hereditary an
timc-honored privilege and immunity.
