St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-05

Duchess OF Cumberland, married to one
of the wealthieSt princes in ChriSten-
dom. No wonder that he is spoken of
amongst his people as 1.-THE best father
in Denmark."
A Golden Wedding.
The feteS in honor of the golden we'd
ding were of the most brilliant order,
on scale that transformed the staid old
city of Copenhagen into veritable fairy
land. The decorations were striking
and magnificent, as for instance i'll the
sailors quarters, where the gables OF
the houses we're arranged to resemble
the prows of old war ships, and also the
entire front of the prime minister's res
idence, which was decorated in imlta-
ton of a huge royal robe in ermine.
On the morning of May 26 the church
bells were ringing their joyful peals
out over the city, the cannonS were
booming, bands were playing in every
direction, and the city, bright with flags
and bunting and handsome decorations,
had taken on a gala appearance.
The presents which the king and
queen received upon this occasion were
both numerous and costly, chief
among which may be mentioned a
wreath of grain made of pure gold, pre-
Sented by the school children OF Den
mark; a magnificent vase, nine feet
high, painted by one of the most IA
NOUS Italian artists, a gift from the
Danes living in Italy; costly chande-
lier from the emperor of Germany; a
marble statue from the Prince of Wales !;
a magnificent gilded carriage from the
skilled workingmen of Copenhagen,
and the most costly of all, six snow
white Arabian stations, rom the cZarlna
to her father, who is a great lover OF
horses. The value of this present may
be contemplated when il Is known that
for many months a critical search
had been made In all the imperial studs
throughout Russia before six animals
were found, perfect enough to be ac-
ceptable for the occasion. Besides
these and numberless other presents
large sums of money have been placed
at the disposal of the king and queen to
be by them converted into legacies and
annuitieS commemorative of the golden
wedding of Christian IL. of Denmark
and his Queen Louise.
A Significant Incident.
An incident occurred during the fes-
tiyitieS that is quite suggestive as Or
served from a political standpoint. 1t
was the reception given by the king TO
the members of the reichstag. Every
member was present except the two
socialists, and the presidents of both
houses gave utterance to expressions OF
the most loyal sentiments on the part
of their respective things" 1t is the
first time for over ten years that
a president of the fOlkething has
set foot III the royal palace or made any
demonstration of loyalty that could in
aDv yav commit himself and his DartV
and the almost cordial nature of the
courtesies exchanged between the king
and Mr.. Hogsbro on this occasion is
taken as an indication that the differ
enceS which have existed between the
government and the leaders of the op-
position for nearly fifteen years, and
which, at times, has caused much bit
terness of feeling and greatly annoyed
the venerable old gentleman sitting on
the Danish throne, have reached state
where an early and amicable solution of
the knotty problems is probable. Thus,
the dearest wish of King Christian
seems in fair way TO become gTatified,
adding one more to the many tokens of
love and respect with which his sub
jectS have greeted the good old king on
the day of his golden wedding.
