The Crusade Of an Erratic Emperor.

Emperor Williams visit to the Holy
Land is causing much comment in
Europe. 1t is the latest enterprise OF
that many-sided monarch. He pro-
poses to throw aside the cares of state
for few Mrid moments, and devote
himself exclusively to pleasure and
reminiscent piety. This nineteenth
century crusade will differ materially
sfrOm it's predecessors in the Middle
Ages. There will be no mailed knights
and bloody battles. no desperate deeds
Of valor to get possession of the Holy
City. The latter will capitulate withs
out blow. and very willingly, too. sT
dress and decorations the Emperor's
crusade will leave nothing to be de-
sired. The magnificent upholstery of
Richard I. and Saladin will be eclipsed,
and were Berengaria now living, 1t
would make her heart sick to see the
preparations for camping out.
A splendid suite will go with the
German Emperor, and there will be
accessions on the road, II invitations
are accepted. Everybody wants to
know what his object is. The most
natural answer would seem to be that.
like other people, he wishes to see with
his own eyes the scene of so many
sacred events, but a vast number of
people in Europe will not have t that
but it is not easy to perceive how he
can accomplish anything Of that SORT
without an invading army and fleet,
especially the fleet. He is said to cove:
the territory between the Tigris and
the Euphrates. William has for some
years been assiduously cultivating the
Sultan, and he unquestionably ac-
quired great influence over that de-
PRAYED Turk
The Emperor's officers drill the Sui
tan's armies, and during. the recen:
little affairsat Crete. which has nit yet
been settled, william managed 0n sew
eral occasions tosbring to nanght the
schemes of the other European powers
Ply timely hint to the Turk. But the
Sultan is not going to assist Germany
in breaking up his own empire, so that
Williams pull can only count durin;;
the present trip in removing the ordi-
| nary uiscomforts and obstacles from
the paths of the crusaders. No OBJ
| trusive Bedouin will pop out incon-
veniently to frighten the cavalcade,
and the plants Of the beggars will be
modified to suit the royal patience. II
is possible that the Emperor purposes
to spy out the land, with a view to
future operations. Turkey must tum-
BILE to pieces soon, and II he desires the
choice morsel between the Tigris and
the Euphrates. it will be well to know
exactly how it lies, with view to Its
subsequent appropriation. 1t is singu.
lar that while the rest of Europe re.
gard the Emperor's crusade with some.

less spark, in fact. from his variegated

an oyster farm connected. So two bar

cured from Boston and at low water
were dumped into the river. 1t was a
great advertisement for the proprietor
