bah They held that the epauIsttes worn BY
ihs officers made them ell equal and to
slight one vas to slight al. The unhappy
banker has waited in vain for the gentle
men Of the army to forget and forgive. It
is the dream of his life to zee an
officer dance with his daughter.
Recently at court ball the young lady vss
neglected, as usual, BY the officers, when
the Emperor suddenly turned to one Of his
most brilliant captains, and commanded
him to dance with the bankers daughter.
The captain walked up to the ostrscised girl
and said cOldly, May have the honOrT
The couple took one turn around the room,
the officer brought his partner back to her
place, made stiff bow, and left her. The
Emperor saw that the case was hopeless
aud did not again Interfere. In any other
country wealthy family in such high favor
at court would be fatteced and followed IN
every circle of society. Not so in Germany.
The army officers maintsin their independ-
euce, stand by each other, and in some mat
tiers will not yield an inch to the Emperor
and all the powers that be.
