LOUISA MULBACH's INTERVIEW WITH THE KAISER.
OF course l came to see the Emperor, VIII o,
when he sees me, advances few PAGES to meet
me, ana speaks to me so kindly and graciously
that am almost inclined to cry for very joy In
the course OF conversation the Emperor asks me
whether have come to Ems to take the waters
when honestly tell him that have come to see
the Emperor, as the proprietor Of the NEW YORK
HERALD had requested me to so to Ems to tell the
HERALD all about the Emperor.


The Emperor smiles kindly and listens to my

BY the by, must tell you that on my recent
visit to the Imperial palace in Berlin found this
same copy of the I'd May, to my great JOY, the
Emperor's writing table IN the celebrated 'Corner
Room" But now enough for to-day; to morrow
will tell you more OF the Emperor and hts sur
roundings, and OF the general doings IN Ems.
