WHY HE HATES THE ENGLISH.

Secret OF the German Crown Princes
Dislike-Tormented by Schoolboys.
John BUN on bis travels has acquired
most unenviable reputation throughout the
world for arrogance and discourtesy, and, IN
fact, for Objectionable conduct Of . nature
which If tersely and correctly described
abroad as insular. Disagreeable though be
be, be Is perfect angel in comparison to the
English schoolboy or college man." who,
for the purpose Of acquiring foreign Ian
guages, has been placed under the care Of
some private tutor-generally declasse
English clergyman-in one Of the provincial
towns Of Germany, Switzerland and France.
It Is impossible to conceive more unruly,
noisy and rough lot than these young men
and boys, many Of whom have been expelled
for misconduct from the public schools in
England; and with their undisguised con-
tempt for everything foreign, and their eb-
solute lack Of reverence, regard or respect
for anybody or anything abroad, they con-
stitute holy terror to the inhabitants Of the
towns which they infict with their presence.
1t is to these English college "men" and
boys that is mainly attributable the intense
and notorious hatred Of Crown Prince
William Of Germany for everything pertain
ing to Great Britain They rendered his life
at Bonn perfect misery and torture to him.
During the whole period Of his school years
in that pretty town on the banks Of the
Rhine he was butt Of their practical jokes,
an object of their ridicule end contempt, and
repeatedly exposed to the grossest kind Of in
suits at their hands. To give a solitary in

that no matter at what hour he set aside for

no sooner would the prince take his header
of the diving board, than several Of them
would Immediately plunge, as If by accident,
on top of him and prevent him from coming
to the surface. This was ell the more cruel
as, owing to the fact of his left arm being
withered and utterly useless, the poor boy
was, and in fact still is, little better than
cripple.
These and a thousand other petty insults he
patiently bore in stoical silence and without
appearing to take any notice thereof. fact
which enraged his tormentors and always
stimulated them to the perpetration of fresh
