Emperor WilheIm's Wealth.
Berlin Letter to Chicago Record.

There are 1,5oO people upon the empe-
ror's list of employees. including $50 female
servants. who are engaged in looking after
the twenty-five royal palaces and castles
that belong to the crown. Their wages
arc small. The women receive not more
than So month and the men servants.
no number over 500 from SIS to So
month. Most of the palaces and castles are
in sad state of decay. The emperor him
self seldom uses more than three or four
OF them. The rest are occupied by his re-
lations and dependents, who number a
hundred or more. and are nearly all sup
ported from the royal purse. His private
fortune is estimated at S25. 100000. the
greater part of which is represented by
landed estates. He has forty-eight farms,
fourteen forests. eight vineyards and owns
the royal porcelain factory near Berlin,
but his revenues from this property do
nos amount to more than 81 100000 a year.
The income from several of the estates goes
directly to his brothers ami sisters. Prince
Leopold, second cousin. is much richer
than the emperor. His wealth was inner
tied from his grandfather, Prince Carl,
brother of the old Emperor William. who
was miser and a keen business man ard
6n.aSSeG an enormous fortune.
In addition 20 this income the kaiser
draws full pay and allowances for all the
titles he assumes, both civil and military.
He can add to his income at any time by
creating himself duke or a baron or by
appointing himself general Of an army
corps or colonel of a regiment. He is al
ready the colonel OF several German regi-
ments, and holds honorary commissions in
the armies of England, Austria, Russia
and Belgium. He is also an admiral of
the German fleet and has just been made
an admiral in the Russian navy for which
he draws full pay and allowances.

THE MONITOR AND THE MERnrMAC.
A New Version of the Famous Duel
Of the IrOnclads.

A New Version of the Famous Duel
Of the IrOnclads.
From the Charleston News and Courier.
A favorite fiction with northern writers
for the newspapers and school books is
that the Virginia which they call the Mer-
rimac, was defeated by the Monitor in the
famous fight in Hampton Roads, and kept
out of her way afterward. Corrections of
this persistent delusion appear to make no
impression.
The critical correspondent. ''W. ". r."
replies to this statement as follows:
Now, Tatnall did destroy the Merrimac,
as she drew too much water to be brought
to Richmond, but that he was eager to
engage the Monitor was shown by his
actions on April 8, just one month after
the engagement between the two vessels.
On that day. with new smokestack and
with iron port shutters tShe had none in
her engagement with the Monitor). the
Merrimac steamed down within a few
miles of Fortress Monroe, under whose
guns the Monitor lay, fired shots at her,
blew her whistle, and in every way possible
defied her to come out from under the guns
of that impregnable fort and give battle.
This defiant conduct was continued for
several days, in full view of several French
and English men-of-war, whose yardarms
and rigging were manned in expectation of
a great fight. Finally, Tatnall, taking posi-
ton with the Merrimac so to head the
Monitor Off in case she came to the rescue,
sent the gunboat jamestown to the village
of Hampton, a few miles from Fortress
Monroe, and, in full sight of the Monitor,
captured two vessels loaded with hay for
the United States army and towed them
Off I mean reflection the gallant
officer who commanded the Monitor when
make this statement, for. could he have
had his way, the Monitor would have met
her adversary half way. / heard from an
officer some years after the war that strict
orders had come from Washington for the
Monitor to remain under the guns of the
fort. And the authorities were wise. In
twelve months the United States govern
ment had dozen monitors"
The correspondent might have added that
there were other federal war vessels in the
Roads besides the Monitor. and that they
hastily weighed anchor and put TO sea, or
retired under the guns of the "impregnable
fort when the Virginia moved out to chal-
lenge them and the Monitor to another
combat. What he says, however is suffi-
cient. 1t was not the confederate ship that
avoided q renewal of the fight and it is to
be presumed that the federal authorities
at Washington would scarcely have been
they had regarded 1t as triumphant VIC
tor on the former occasion The nimble
Monitor made a gallant fight with her
ciumsier. but equally gallant, adversary
and deserves full credit therefor. 1t was
certainly not the fault of the Virginia how
ever, that she did not have the opportunity
to win further honors at any time and on
any ground of her own choosing.
