latters chateau, Cronburg. in the Taunus
country, after which She will probably be
entertained for few days at Coblentz by
Emperor William, who is very anxious to
induce the Queen to visit him in Berlin, but
it is unlikely that she will consent to do so.

but it is a greater distance from the Aipes
Maritimes than are those places and thus ii
has an advantage over them of nearly an
hours more sunshine in winter and avoids
the sweeping draughts which come down
the valleys and which are serious draw
backs at many of the Riviera resorts.

Considering the furious manner in which
the Russian Hebrews have been prosecuted
by the Imperial Government, it is exceed
ingly remarkable that Grand Duke Alexis
and his cousin, Duke of Leuchtenber
saould have been recently the guests of
Baron Rohschild's son-iu-law, Michael
Ephrussi, at his Chateau Livery, neaT Nelun,
when there was chase for their amuSe-
ment Gud a choice party was present to
meet them. Ephruss is himself a son of
an Israeliie trader of Odessa; and as Rus

The King and Queen of the Hell

have enjoyed much pleasant intercourse
with Emperor Francis Joseph. The fact
that King George did not visit Berlin
when he left Copenhagen has excited much
gossip st the German court. The truth is
that Emperor Williams annoyance and an

Sparta have by no means abated. The
Emperor, who would like to exercise a
desp0tic control over every member in his
family, would not have relished his favor

having been managed by the Russian court,
and also because the Duchess acted inde.

his permission TO enter the Greek Church
did not even send notice of her intention to

creased by the strong suspicion that En-
press Frederick had all along been ac-
Quslnted with the intention of the Duchess
and that she had expressed approval OF her
conversion,
