EMPEROR WILLIAM.
p,ow tire Venerable German Monarch
sDeR.'s tsi~ DAYS

Emperor William does not sfnokeno
take snuff. Neither does he wear spec
taeles. When reading or writing he
uses an ey5sglass. although he does not
wish to admit that his vezsight j.
growing weak His Majesty sleeps ss
soundly a. the healthiest of youths, and
never takes n rest during the course of
the iay. lie always receives standing
up in his salon, alter having changed
his old Uniform for more CORRECT one.
Should he receive a Prince who has con-
fetred On him the purely honorary com
mand OF regiment that bears his name.
His Majesty always wears the uniform
of that particular regiment. In this
respect there is never the slightest de-
rogation from the rigid rule of etiquette.
Hence His Majesty has frequently to
change his uniform three or four times
within an hour or two.
The Emperor was always distinguish
ed for his exquisite courtesy and gal
lantry. And now. although ninety years
oil age, he bestows upon the Empress
the most delicate attentions. He loves
TO go and spend ay hour at the opera,
which is quite near, but he never dis
poses of his time during the evenings
without first consulting the Empress.
Every evening they take tea together
and the Emperor is never absent
without first acquainting the En-
press of his intention, and receiving
her permission. 1t is during dinner.
which takes place at six o'clock, that
his Majesty decides as to how he
shall spend the evening. These dinners
are of the simplest kind. never more
than three courses and the repast rarely
lasts more than half an hour.
When the Emperor receives permission
to pass the evening in his own way, he
may be seen Mt the opera, not in the
grand reception box, which occupies all
the center of the hall, but i'm an avant
scene of the first story, where, near the
actors, he can see better, and catch
every word. The official box is filled
with chamberlains in grand tenuc. Off
GERS in brilliant uniforms and ladies of
the palace in gorgeous toilet. while the
Emperor himself IN his plain uniform
bows and smiles to the aristocratic la
dies and distinguished danes i'm the
body of the house. When the play is
over, which is generally little after
nine O'Clock, his Majesty returns to the
palace, he takes cup of tea, and at ten
O'Clock, if more important receptions
do not retain him in the apartments of
the Empress, he retires to rest like
simple workman, satisfied with his day's
toll, and ready to resume il again on
the following morning. Brooklyn Mag
