Wanted to Sell Bavaria.

While on this subject I may mention
that there exists among the reports OF
the committee appointed to inquire into
the circumstances OF the death Of King
Louis. a sworn statement signed by DR..
Loehr, director Of the state Archives OF
Bavaria. 10 the effect that Louis had
been anxious for a number of years to
sell Bavaria in order to purchase for
himself elsewhere a kingdom where he
could reign as an absolute monarch.
Or. Loehr declares that in 1873 by order
Of King Louis, he spent three months
and a half in visiting the Canary
Islands and the Greek Archipelago, and
in 1875. two months and half in visits
TO Crete. Cyprus and the BaIearic
Islands, with the object Of finding a
suitable place of residence for his Ba-
varian majesty for a longer or shorter
period as might BIZ desired. He was also
charged to inquire whether in any Of
these places it would be possible for the
King to acquire the full or partial right
Of sovereignty for the remainder Of his
life. or at least a position OF complete
independence in regard to the governing
authorities Of the countries mentioned
Dr. Loehr strongly and earnestly ad-
vised the King to reliquish his projects
of expatriation but at the same time
could not refuse TO afford his majesty

man of extensive travel and experience.

have not touched its essentials.
The denomination which traces its
lineage back to the WesIeys. which
honors the memory, holds to the doe
trines and sings the hymns Of its
founders, stands now, as it stood al
the beginning, for positive religious
convictions. Ii stands for enthusi-
assn, for devotion, for al ardent and
conquering faith. Its leading repre-
sentatives, from It's earliest days,
have been men and women who be
Iieved what they believed with all
their might, and were ready to make
sacrifices for the sake Of It.
These are the men and women
who, though they may be exposed to
the worlds delision, earn sooner or
later the worlds gratitude, It is not
necessary to hold to their tenets 10 ad-
mire their spirit; and If the ap-
preaching Wesley bicentenniaI should

A Royal Borrower.

this story. may seem far-fetched
recall the fact that during the Ia
years of his reign King Louis urges
desire to obtain funds for the eontinu-
auce of his extrayaga1t building opera

sarIes requesting loans, among others
TO the Emperors of Austria and Brazil.
10 the Sultan. 10 the Shah, and TO the
King Of Sweden. He succeeded in OBJ
tanning a good deal of money from
former Khedive IsmaH. of Egypt and
his agents had commenced negotiations
with the late Count of Paris for a loan
Of IS. 60O. 600. which the RotbschiIds had
agreed to advance on the guarantee Of
the French preteuder. The loan was
to have been made on the condition that
King Louis should do his best TO peu-
traIize Bismarck's policy in case Of
another war between France and Ger
many.
It was due to this in a great measure
and to the complications which might
have resulted therefr0m which led the
great chancellor to give his approval to
the deposition and to the placing under
restraint OF the BavariaH monarch.
