ROYAL FAMILIES.
Gilmpsos of the Vicious Interior Life OF
DespOtism.

tiilmpsos OF the Vicious Interior Life oil
Desp0tism.
1t is fortunate for Royal Houses"
and especially for those OF the despotic
type. that their private sayings and
doings are seldom reported; for when
ever we obtain a glimpse of the interior
life of despotism it sickens us. Truly
has 1t been said by distinguished
essayist that 1.-THE masters OF mankind,
when stripped of the artificial pomp
which invest them in public. resemble
nothing so nearly us the meanest of the
multitude"
There are sound philosophical
grounds for this opinion. The very
highest and the very lowest OF the
human race are equally beyond the in
ilueuce OF that wholesome control to
which the intermediate classes are
subjected, by their mutual dependence,
and the need they have OF the good
will and esteem OF their fellows. Those
who are at the very bottom OF the social
ladder are beyond the sphere of this
influence; those who stand on the top
most round are above it. Persons who
have nothing to gain are pretty much
in the same position, relatively, to the
rest of the world as wrctches who have
nothing to lose; and both are equally
liable to disregrd the maxim Of reckon
ing ones self last, which is the basis
of all politeness, as weil as Of all be-
nevolence. We find, accordingly, that
absolute monarcbs, however respect
able some Of them may have been as
monarchs, have generally been posi-
tive brutes In their families,
Frederick William OF Prussia, the
father OF Frederick the Great, starved
and beat his wife and children, and
was accustomed, after having eaton his
dinner, to spit into each dish, lest they
should partake OF the remnants OF the
meal. Peter the Great compelled the
Czarina, Catherine, to associate with
vile creatures. most OF them scullions
and washerwomen, whom he had en-
nobled and raised to the dignity Of
ladics-in-waiting; and he also frequent
ly amused himself with Gaming his en-
tire houshold, from the Empress down.
In fact, whenever a Prince or a Princess
tells tales out OF school, as sister of
Frederick the Great-the Margarine
of Baireuth did, or we get by any
means a peep behind the vail judi
ciously interposcd between the pub
lie eye and the private history OF
absolute sovereigns, we invariably find
that the objects of vulgar worship are
as brutal, AS violent. as neglected. OF
all the usagcs and proprietjes of decent
society in their palaces, as the most
debased of their subjects in the
wretched novels to which misery had
consigned them. Thus do the extremes
of vicious power and vicious poverty
meet on q common level OF abasement

POLITE y. CONDUCTORS.
4 pieasant Picture OF street Car Manage
ment In Germany,

Official horso.car etiquette In Ger.
many Is quito dif'eront from Official
horsc.car etiquette In America Ihe
Garman horso-cat conductor is polite.
When passenger boards or leaves tho
car the conductor touches his hat and
saws Good day." When he collects II
fare no attracts the passengers attcn-
ton by saying "Peasc." II on nasty
day or late at night the passenger gives
a tip OF one cent the conductor smiles
broadly, touches his hat and bows.
The German horse-car conductor does
not over-crowd his Cur. Printed
notices In the car tell him how many
persons are TO be admitted. On each
platform four passengers are allowed
to stand. and no more. After this pre-
scribed standing-room has been occu-
pied the conductor allows no more per-
sons to board the car.
Tie conductor Is phonomenally pa
tient with Foreigners whodo not UNDER
stand the system OF graded fares which
prevails in Germany. II an American
buys two-cont ticket for u iivc-ccnt
ride he invariably refuses to buy five
cent ticket when tho conductor ex-
plains the mistake 10 him. The Amer
can always says he will buy three
cent ticket in addition to his two-cent
ticket, but will never buy new five
cent ticket. by which he would lose
two cents worth OF ride. The Amer.
lean explains his position IN bad Ger
man. and the conductor replies IN good
German. Consequently neither ono
understands the other, and all sorts oi
complications arise. But the conductor
rarely loses his temper. He quietly
pleads. points TO the rulcs, and appeals
to the other passengers for the coTrob-
Grafton Of his statements, until tho
American gets tired and pays, Nearly
every American tourls In Germany has
had this experience on horso-cars.
Few have sccn the conductors at all
rufiled in temper during the long IN
cidental explanations and arguments.
A German horse-car conductor smiles
good at all the babies in tho

when he collects the mothers fare.
and holds Il guarding hand close 10
each little back when tho mother
alights. His collars aud cuiIs arc
clean. His uniform is never ragged or
greasy, nor are his boots unblacked.
In iSsct, German horse-car conductor
