II is announced that the Emperor

in church the expression, ellis Majesty
Emperor Frederick be replaced by THY
Servant, Frederick, the emperor" This is
characteristic of this noble man, whom all
men have learned to admire through the
patience and fortitude with which he has
borne up under his terrible sufferings. Sim
plicity and sense of duty have always been
conspicuous traits of his character. These
occasional expressions that come from him
now, as he lies at the open grave, are not
confined in their impressive effect to his
own people, by whom he is held in such

that fly from nation to nation and bring all
