THE EMFEEoRss SEVERITY.
Meanwhile at TIE palace of the crown
prince the evaporation ut the present
state of affairs daily grows intense. So'i
Jealous is the old emperor of every vcstige
of his power, that he makes point of ;
keeping the sRown prince as much as
possible strAnger to everything that
Is going on The authority of the head
of the family Is one OF the most sacred
principles of the Hohenzollern dynasty,
and until 1853, when the present emperor
became prince regent, both he and his
wife were subject to the caprices and
often ridiculous orders of the reigning
sovereign, who was an elder brother.
In their turn the emperor and empress
are treating the crown prince, and
especially his wife, with q similar and
almost incredible severity The prince is
unable to make single step in any d5ree-
tion or 10 absent himself from Berlin with
out his fathers permission, while the
crown princess is not even allowed to naJne
q single cne of her own ladies in waiti ng
or to choose governess for her daughte rs,
or to travel, or even to allow her OWE
children TO be present at any eharita Die
fete without first obtaining the sanct .on
of her naughty, querulous and frequently
insulting mother III law. The eldest son
of the crown prince, Prince William, " no
is far from being pleasant youth, is not
particularly liked by either his father or
mother. AS natural consequence lie is
made special fayorite- of by both the
empress and emperor, who frequently
show their preference for him iii q manner
exceedingly painful and insulting toward
his parents.-New York Mail and Ex-
