Thero ho takes bis stand beside a writing-desk, the doors are thrown open, and all who want £o see him are admitted in Tapid succession. These audiences bavo a decidedly patriarchal aspoct, and the uémost care is taken not to slight any of those who wish to speak to the Emperor on ac- count of their poverty or humble station in life, The Emperor bimself frequently looks into the aate-room, and, when he sees €omo old persons there, he motions to thom to step up to him, and asks the younger applicants to Wwait, even though they belong to the highest circlos of society. At1o'clock Francis Joseph leaves the audi- guce-ball, and hastens to the apartments of the Emprees, where he sees his childron. He takieg cspecial delight in examining his son, the Crown- Trinca Rudolp, about his lessons, and thon takes the lad out with him on a ride. Generally they witness ths parades of some of the regi- mentd of the garrison of Vienna : but never stay very long, for is i8 8 well-known fact that neither the Emperor nor his son is a lover of military psgeania: aud the Emperor shirks tho task of Toviewing the troops wheever he can.
