KING OSCARS BLUE CELESTE.
(F1om the Philadelphia Evening Post.


William Thomas of Portland, Me-,
American minister at stockholm, is a
great friend of King Oscar, who has re.
Gently abdicated in favor Of his son, and
tells some interesting stories of that
genial monarch. When King Oscar was
at Paris some years ago, he went about
seeing the sights incognito.' Among
other places, he dropped IN at the official
exposition of Sevres porcelain. Here the
product of every year was arranged chro-
nologically and with great care. OF some
kinds there were full sets, but of blue
celeste there were but three pieces, and
the custodian informed the king that it
was impossible to obtain more, and that
they were of immense value.
WHAT" said the king, 'have you only
these three plates OF blue celesteF'
"That is all "
well, then" said his majesty, II have
many more than YOU.
"Youl" said the custodian, In amaze
ment. Who are your"
1.-The King of Sweden.
MAY l inquire. your majesty, how
many pieces of this exquisite porcelain
you havel"
Hear, thou, Nilsg" said the king,
turning to his first marshal. Count
Kosen. who accompanied him, "How
many have we?'
1.-Two hundred and fourteen pieces,
your majesty"
"Hsavensi" cried the astonished custo-
dian. "How can 1t be possible that you
have preserved them all this timer =.
"Oh, that's very easily accounted for.
said the king. You see, in Sweden we
don't have any revolutions"
