Both Kings commenced their reign
amid scenes Of turmoil and bloodshed,

invasion Of his dominions by Prussia and
Austria, but likewise disaffection within.

outstTipped Fathers.

History offers few instances OF princes
OF the blood who have outstripped their
fathers in the race tor the crown. The
only case. indeed. in modern times is that
OF King George. who ascended the
throne OF Greece some few months prior
TO the succession Of his father. King
Christian TX. to tho sovereignty OF Den

elapsed since young Prince William OF
Denmark was elected King Of the Hell

while on November l. next his vener-
able father. Christian TX, will in the
same way commemorate the fortieth
anniversary OF his proclamation as King
OF Denmark. or the Wends. and OF the
Goths. and a further strange coinci-
dencs may be found in the fact that
whereas King George was born at
Copenhagen as a Danish prince with no
expectation Of ever being called upon
10 rule over the turbulent Greeks. King
Christian, born in Germany as Ger
man prince, had but faint prospects in
his early youth OF ever ascending the
Danish throne. In fact, he may be said
to have been forced upon King Fred
erick VII as his successor by the great
powers assembled in congress a. Lon

With regard 10 King Christian the Sit

ruler is personally beloved by his sub

Jocts HIM az such to the minister Of

this means it must be explained that
ever since the war with Turkey the
crown prince, realizing that the igno-

army in the field was due primarily to
the extent TO which politics had i'm

eliminate IL from its ranks and to
