FRANCIS JOSEPH I.
Tho Popular Emperor Of Austria
and King OF hungary.
a Sovereign Who Both ReIsns and Rules
-Recoupment OF Hapsburgs far Their
ri Losses In Italy Is His
Chief Aim.

"Quick of apprehension, has safe,
circuinspect manner of judging with
simplicity and openness of dcmeanor
that beget confidence" Such was the
pronouncement of Count Won Bismarck
on the emperor of Austria after his first
interview with him some nine-and-
thirty years ago. There is little to add
to it and still less to take from it to-day,
says Black and White. What Francis
Joseph was then he is now. The only
change in his character wrought by
the feeting years has, perhaps, been q
deepening Of its shadows. He himself,
we believe, has said he will probably
be known in history as Francis Joseph
the Unluclsy, and alike in his public and
private life, misfortune, sorrow, blight
ed ambitions and deferred hopes have
intensified the tinge of pensive melan-
choly which has Swallowed his life.
Born in 1880, Francis Joseph at the
age of eighteen succeeded to the throne
his uncle abdicatcd, after the revolt of
the Magyars had shaken the house of
Hapsburg to its center. Nothing but
the genius of Radctsky and the loyalty
of her Slavs saved Austria from ruin in
those days, and the savage cruelty with
which Hungarian nationality was sup
pressed reused the wrath of the world.
Austria was to all European liberals
the symbol of reactionary despotism
and military brutality. Lord Palmers-
ton, VIGOROUSLY pandering to English
feeling on the subject, went out of his
way to lavish attention on Kossuth and
the Magyar refugees, and the young
emperor became hiphly unpoDular in
England when he threatened to recall
his ambassador If they were not
stopped. His majesty was very young
in statecraft in those days. But for
that he probably would not have re-
scented so bitterly the attack made on
Gen. Haynau by the draymen in

shrewd Arabian widows.

If an Arab woman who has lost her
husband decides to marry again she
visits the grave of her husband the
night before her second marriage and
prnys him not to be offended. AS, how
ever, she feels that he will be offended,
she takes with her donkey laden with
two goat skins filed with water. The

Barclays brewery, when, excited by
tales Of his brutal hoggings of women
in Italy and Hungary, they thrashed
the hero of Brescia to within an inch of
his life when he visited that establish
nent as q sightsecr in 1850. The alb
sence of an Austrian representative at
the duke of Wellington's funeral was
the Austrian emperor's maladroit re-
taliation. AS Sir Theodore Martin says
in his Life of the Prince Consort," it
only provoked the retort that an Aus
TRAN representative would have been
out of place ut the funeral of q great
English captain whose campaigns, ac-
cording to Southey's famous panegyric,
were 'sullied by no crueltics or crimes,
whose laurels were cntwined with the
amaranths of righteousness, and who
on his deathbed might remember his
victories among his good works."
The part played by Francis Joseph
lin regenerated Austria will never be
fully appreciated till the history of our
time is written. But it must be dis
tinctly understood by those who ap-
proach the study of Austrian affairs
that in all questions of military or for
eign policy the emperor is the govern
ment. 1t must also be understood that
the sole aim of his life is to avoid going
down to history as the prince under
whose rule the dominions of the Haps-
burgs diminished. That the policy and
resources Of the state are bent to one
object-the recoupment of the IIaps-
burgs for their losses in Italy-that is
the primary factor in the imperial poll
cy. Hence the intrigucs and the i'm
perial visit to the Adriatic, which pre-
coded the rising in Bosnia, precipitated
the Russo.Turlsish war, and gave to
Austria an Ireland carved out of the
western provinces of Turkey. Hence
Austria goes gliding on with the slow,
almost imperccptiblc motion of a great
glacier, eastward to Salonica. A de-
pleted treasury, the suspicious of the
Magyars, who view with apprehension
the prospect of being swamped by fresh
hordes OF Slavs, the tendency of the
Germans to turn their eyes to Berlin
rather than Byzantium, impede the en-
peror's policy, and force him to pause
before obstacles mperfcctly esteemed
by his people.
There is in our opinion one reason
why German. Magyar and tSlav agree
on at least the one point that the en-
peror's life is incidentally precious to
them. There is not state in Austria
which, 1t cut adrift from the IIapsburgs,
would not in q few years cease to have
any distinction or independent natural
existence. The German provinces
would go to Germany, taking bohemia
with them as another Alsace for Prussia
to govern, and hungary would be to
Russia another Poland; to her also by
manifest destiny the other Slav states
would gravitate
