DIFFERENCE PETWEEN THE FEELING OF THE LATTER TOWARD HIM AND TREIR REGARD FOR THE LATE EMPEROR—ANECDOTES OF UNSER FRITZ—UHIS KIXD- NESS OF HEART. From the New York World. Veneraved and almost deified as the late kaiser has been im Germany during the last two decades of his live, there is no doubt that his successor has a (ar deeper bold gn the affectionsand hearts of his people. The late emperor, simee the Franco- Prussian war, has been regarded more in the light Of a demigod of the heroic age and as something apar: altogether from the huraan race. The feol- ing: of the Germans, or rather of the Prussians, toward him partook of the nature of a retigion, a regard for something superhuman, waich in- ased in proportion a8 it seemed that he was destined to live on forever. The affection, how- ever, felt by the people in all parts of Germany for the new emperor, who will always remain for them “Unser Fritz,” Is of an enurely different and Of a far more intimate nacure. It ts, iN fact human. The Germans realize that he isa rown build, moraliy and physteally—but oae of blameless lite—wnose exemplary conduct both as husband, father and son has warmed the hearts Of aii the peopl toward him, aad created for him alarge abd honored piace’ among their family affections and in their home life, The events the past ten months afford a Striking proof of the truth of this assertion. The sympathy aroused and the universal sorriw dis- Piaed by every Ge-inan, whether nob! sant, at “Unser” Pritz’s sufferings have been simpiy tn describabie, His lilness formed the principal sub- Jeet of all their conversation, nay, even of their very thoughis, and it was just as if some near and dear member’ of their family lay in danger of death.

Tnnumerabie anecdotes—sufficient, indeed, to ML many ¥O.umes—are extant showlag nis kindpess: of heart, bis good humor, and his consideration for others. " Ainiost every week the German news| pers relate some new instance thereof, and ‘seems as if the people were perfectly insallate o1 the subject. One of the prettiest ones, displaying not only his readiness of resource, but also [ils Intense devotion to bis clever and ch .rming wife, occurred in 1868 ata ball given at Turin, on the occasion of the marriage of the present king of Itaiy, then Prince Humbert of Savof.

After he ad effectually relieved Prin- cess Mafguerite of her encumbrance he rose, bowed profoundly, returned his “case of etergency”’ to his cket, and resumed his place by the king's side Amid the subdued murmurs of sattsfaction of all the ladies near him. From that moment be was the hero of the evening. erybody ac- quainted with Italian characier | will at once understand the deligat of all present at the readiness, gallantry, and fertility of resource displayed by the prince, in whose favor ‘Turin society was always strongly prepossessed, ‘The tremendous social Success Ubat attended his fFFAcetul little action, was tenfold enhanced wen, fater on in the evening, 1t came out that on Victor Emanuel complimenting nim anent the fore- thought he displayed In carrying a compiler frousse about With him, even in 2 ball-room, “Our Fritz” replied: “The whole ierit of the idea be- longs to my wife, sire, not tome.

One day when pass- ing Che village school-house he stopped and, inak- Ing his Way iuto the classroom, sat down and an to listen attentively to the lessons Sud- elegraph messenger made his appearance 7 the teacher a dispatch announcing that his mother was dangerously Ill and Wished to see him once more before she died. “Unser Fritz” noticing his blanched face, immediately inquired What was the matter, and of learning the contents Of the dispatch, bade the poor man hasten off to his mother's bedside, Saying that he biniself wouid look after the school untit arrangements could be made for obtaining a substitute during the teach- ersabsence.
