12 WILLIAM GERMANY. Life of the Emperor at the Imperial Headquarters. FROM MORNING UNTIL NIGHT His Majesty’s Labors Syste- matically Arranged. HARD WORK AND MEAGRE FARE. The Councils at Which the Em- peror Presides, HOW HE LOV«cS HIS SOLDIERS. FASADQUARTERS OF THE GERMAN SKrasOe, | Feb. 22, 187i. ‘His Majes:y, the Emperor, shows hiomself aiways & most tidy and methodical person, (perhaps 1 should way personage) in his headquarters, He is a perfect military machine, rising and setting about as regu- Jarly as the sun, though usually in advance of tat dwminary. Can you fancy an emperor in bed? This one always sleeps on tis own little camp bedstead qas the Duke of Wellington dij); 1t is a litte iron affair, standing only about a foot from the ground, ig bas but litte beading or covering, but when it is ‘wory cold the Emperor lays bis cloak over bim to eke ‘out his small means. [his little bed accompanies Bim everywhere, from the banks of his well-deiended Bhine to the saloons of Versailles, Surely the Ger- mans ought to put it in a museum some d@ay--it will deserve a place as well as Napoleon's little gray coat or Nelson’s biood- mained bine one. A watoh is hung on the wail Dy the sido of the little bed. The Emperor's room contains no dressing gown or slippers—no littie comforts, in short. He usually rises at seven, out on great occasions, when battles are coming off, much earlier. At Gravelotte he was ap by three o'clock. MESSAGES DURING THE NIGHT. Of course the night does not bring @ cessation of messages or letters to bis Imperial Majesty. He might almost be a newspaper editor from the quantity he gets. But at these unearthly hour’ the despatches are received by the so-calied “Wing Adjutant” in attendance, and he looks at chem; if they are of sufficient importance to break his Majesty's slumbers—he wakes him; if not they are put upon the table with the coffee in the morning, So that the Emperor may get them the firet thi.g. Once during the campaign bad accounts were apprehended cf nis Majesty's youngest sister, Princess Frederde of the Netber- lands, to whom he was tenderly attached, and tue Crowa Prince gave orders that any such telegram should be brought to him. News of her deatn arrived at Versailles the 7tn of December, and on receiving it the Crown Prince went himseif and broke tre news to his father. THE EMPEROR RISES. If his Majesiy has had (he luck to sleep so long as Bis proper hour of seven be rises at once, ana Af he Ras not rung vy that time the oMiciating chamber- jain goes in and calls bim. He gives half an hour to is toliet, and then appears completely dressed. It ts remarked that he aiways keeps himself in a very SGnished stave of dress. Sometimes when he 1s alone or with people he is intimate with he unbuttons tus coat, Dut as s00n as ever anybody elke comes ti he ‘Buttons It up again. There must bea great token of favor tp seeing Lim unbuttoned. ~The gary of friendship” so often spoken of mast mean an unvut- dened coat with hin.

AS svon a6 his Muajesiy 1s dressed he goes invo nis “working room,” where his despatches, leiters ana are ali put together on bis table with his Dreakiast, His repast is truly moderate. He has some coifee, and now and tuen some, lea, a biscuit and a solt-bolied egg. Bul, i) he has @ moderate amount of oreakfasi, he has a most imimoderate amount of letters. Fatuily letters, despatches, petl- taons— he reads them ali, whatever they may be, and Makes noies on the margins as he reads which’ may be understoou by the oficials to Whom the papers have Ww he passed on. most methodical tashion, Jaying each species out ike 2 fan, or in # littie Leap on either side of Lim—Ior lie of buusetf. ness is transacted by the light of alittle green-shaded famp, whicd is placed, with the letters, en his tabie Ali the petitions and communications about books, ‘art and music he puts into the hands of his Cabinet secretary—the Hofrajh Borch—wno appears about ‘this period to receive bis Majesty’s comman qT petitions, whuch are very numerous indeed dom decidéy upon at once by the Emperor; but If he knows pei that the petitioner deserves to be listened tv he will grant the request on the spot. At nine o’clock that extremely useiul person, the WING ADJUTANT for the (ay, comes to report himself. The whole service about the Ewperors person is confided in turn to four of these officers, Who each acts as ‘Lord High Everything” tne day be is on duty. They are the only persons who may enter the Emperor's working room unsummoned. They convey his or- ders Ww the various commanders; they announce all visitors and show them out again; they inform lis Majesty what persons desire aadiences and bear when be will receive them. When the Emperor drives out in person the wing adjutant of We duy site on his left hand. When this onicer makes his report in the morning, he informs nis Majesty of any occurrences during the night. He always appears With tis helmet in his hand ip the suffest we of military decorum. He then retires to the ante room, wuere he hus to be on hand all day, uniess the Emperor dismisses him. These oi1i- vers have each to enter in a journal the business of the day, the Emperor’s orders and “all, how and about” everything that comes under their notice. ‘They have a troop of the ‘Lieb Gendarmerie” at their disposal, to take messages, &c. THE SMPEROR'S WORK. When the adjutant has made his report and gone the Emperor goes ou with his ietter business; he also reads 4 report of the newspapers, sent in by the Mterary bureau of the State Ministers. This report gives all the mosi interesting newsoi the day and @iso an account of the opinions of the press in every country. When he has come to the eud of this (he must Tread some most uncomplimentary opinions about himself at times) a grand oficial appears, who bas the uninviting title of tue COURT MARSHAL. . He receives the Emperor’s more domestic orders, as it were. The arrangements of the day are con- added to him, the family appointments and the pro- vision for the princely guests. He carries out the Emperor's invitations, and settles who 1s to come to dinney aud who is to be asked to “look in in the evenfng.’” This despatched, more serous business 4 in, & succession of cdncils are held. First COUNCIL OF WAR. This grand military council takes place usually at ten o’ciock in the Morning: but on special ovca- sions it has been held at eight or nine, and some- times ip the poe The chief of tne Crown Prince’s staff, General Von Blumenthal, is at times present at it- ‘The wembers are Geueral Von Moltke, eneral Vou Ireskow (when at band), General Vou Boyew, the Adjutant General, and the Quartermaster General, Vou Foabielsk, pometimes Bismarck also Appears at this council, wiich is the most importaut eM eial event of the day. arora OTHER COUNCIL8 Aoliow—the Emperor attends to one after the other. They are only interrupted by ro visits, the re- ports of certain officers, or the reception of some eputation. Sometimes troops are being marctied off to outposts or to other duty, and then the Empe- ror goes to the window or out to see them pass, stapding—hail, rain or supshine—outside and never moving tll be has seen the last of them. When per, lJabors have gone on till between eleven and weive the Emperor eats a piece of cake by way of retreshment, between one council and another, and then gues to work again. After €wo or three Hours he gets jo the end iis councils and sv ends bis morning work, THE EMPEROR'S AFTERNOON. His Majesty usually dnves out in the afternoon. He goes sometimes to visit the ambniances and speak some encouraging words to his sick and wounded soldiers, Other times he visits the works of luis army or some object of interest in the neigh- horhood. This régime, of course, only refers to tie quieter days at Versailles, &c.; for on the days of ing was always at bis post, encouraging ere with lis presence and cominanicating a tirlli of joyalty to a thousand voices by one glance of hiseye., He waickes his solders with affection ate eyes apd be always seems pleased when they eheer bum.

He studies health of the troo) the maps of the theatre of war, measures the dis- tances, makes the closest observations, compares the account of the fight with every village, wood or stream upon the map. Officers from the places in- dicated are surpri to @nd that the Emperor knows a8 much about them as themselves. Then the CHANCELLOR comes to him, or some other trusted friend, and they have some private conversation. Late in the even- ing his Majesty receives those be has INVITED TO TEA. He entertains them with the latest thing In telegrams and they read the newspapers aioud or turn over new illustrated books. ‘ne Emperor, who 1s not much of a smoker himself, invites these visitors to smoke and joins them in a ‘‘weed.” This va party on til about eleven o’clock, when bis Majest: reaks up the assembly by taking his departure an retiring once more to his work room. Here he writes more letters before he goes to BED. His attendants perceive by the number they find in the morning that the Emperor has worked late as wellasearly. After ail this (a good day's work for & young man) even the scanty camp bed mast be ex- tremely welcome. Like Longfellow’s blacksmith, surely his Majesty has “earned a night’s repose,” and | think most of us would be quite ready to wish him “good night.” SEVEN TIMES A SPY. A Herald Correspondent Followed by a Hooting Throng Through Bordeaux. Double Identification—Marvellous Mendacity— Tracked and Followed Since the 28th of No- vember by Two Infamous Mouchards. BORDEAUX, Feb. 10, 1871. Reader, condole with correspondents; serve them with several courses of sympathy. Remember, to begin with, that France knows only three national- ities—Frenchmen, Prussians and spies.

But yester- day morning I had te submit.

At half-past twelve I had put a finie to this important business, and then began to look over Bordeaux, as @ correspondent should, Atone P. M. I went to the theatre, and at half-past one called upon M. de Valcour, editor-in- chief ef the new iberal paper Constttuant. He was notm. As Ireached the foot of the stairs which pour into one of the great thorougnfares of Bor- deaux a sinister looking man of thirty, with some- thing looking like a hen feather on nis upper lip and two roasted fowl’s cyes on ech quarter of his upper cheeks, stepped up to me in a mos: sudden manner, and said, in a hushed but knife-sharpening kind of a voice, “Monsieur, Ihave seen you at Le Mans with the Prussians. You are a spy! You were there the 13th, 14th and 16th of January !" “Who are you” I asked, with a moiety of con- tempt.

I was not slow in assuring this mass of mendacity that preferred the charge against me that bis personal safety was due alone to his filthy ex- terior and to the rottenness of mind, which exceeded his corruption of body. While thus letting out my anger we marched through a side street, followed by the sale of Bordeaux. As we were moving along Imet Mr. Vaicour, editor of the Consittuant, who has been the secretary of M. Gambetta, “What's the matter?” he asked. “Oh, I’m an espion /” | said. “T understand,” he replied, laughing. “This gen- teman,” he went on, “is the correspondent of the New YORK HERALD. Was made a prisoner by the Germans at Le Mans, when General Chanzy was de- feated, and I know him personally. I am the secro- tary of M. Gambetta.”? “Bat isaw him talk with the Prussians,” on the mouchard. “Suppose you did,” sald M. de Valcour. “Oh, [am sure he is a spy.” “I know him,” M. de Valcour proceeded, “and that is enough." ee continued the mouchard, “I have done my work.” At this moment I thought I was at liberty; but, precious boon, I had not wen It yet. Up comes another man. He 1s tlity, hungry-look- ing, biltous in face, low foreheaa and the devil's eyes—a man wlio means mischief. “T saw you ai Argentau on the 28th of November.” “Yes, J was there; do I owe you anything?” “No, Monsieur, but you asked many questions about the army. Do you remember me now—in the railway carriage?” “Yes, Ido; but all faces do not leave a pleasant impression, I assure you." “As you will, Mon-ieur.”” “Yes, your face befits your calling.’” After a long parley it was decided that I should be brought before the prefect, and I was accom- panied by M. de Valcour. Mouchard, of Argentau, followed, and befere the prefect he pressed his charges; but M. de Valcour was able to refute them, and the paper upon my person which, if I had shown, would have put an end w the affair. In half an hour | was free. ‘This arrest shows that I have been constantly Watched and followed for six weeks, and that the French government has paid for this service pro- bably $200, which serves the government very right. 1 need not say that this arrest made me somewhat inaignant, being the seventh time, under very aggra- vating circumstances, J therefore resolved to make a formal complaint, and for this purpose visited the United States Consul, but found that the Frencn powers here are themselves so chaotic and miser- ably organized at this excited moment that such a course would be @ waste of time.

RULE. “Gomg up, sir?” “Yes.” Chink goes the bell, the brakes put on, the jaded leoking horses checked, on jumps the passenger, and we proceed on our weary way. Tt 1s, an ugly car, with a cramped, peculiar look about it, smaller than those used on the more promi- nent thoroughfares, faded and musty within, while @ general air of dilapidation pervades it, from the tips of the horses’ ears to the dashboard on the rear Platform, which is lopsided and almost ricketty. ‘The universal seediness of the conveyance is re- flected in the man who stands at the rear and re- ceives the fares; his weather-beaten coat of many hues boasts a solitary button; large, bright headed ping, denoting constant use, make up the sad de- ficiency, and hold the well worn garment of some former owner, tightened to the chin to keep out cold and rain. The pinched and anxious face tells A WOFUL TALE OF SUFFERING, ashe stands on the end, as much @ part of the shabby monstrosity as the scanty harness hanging on the horses’ bones. “This 1s a pretty hard June, conductor ?** ext thing to suicide, sir.” ‘ou are running on time again, | suppose *” “There is no such thing on this road.

This 1a the tirst day’s work I've had for three weeks, and I don’t expect to make a dollar to-day.” “How is that—1 thought you were paid two dol- lars a day” “So we are when we make six trips, but only at the rate of two dollars when we make less.” “Then you are really paid by the trip?” “Yes, and 1 have known it to take @ map seven hours to make a round trip—think of that, thirty- three cents for half a day’s work to a fellow with a wife aud an infant.” “How did you happen to be so long waiting?” “Well, there was an awful lot of us, and when my turn came I couldn't STAKE THE STARTER, 80 I had to wait for @ chance.” “And the cnance came this morning?” “Yes; some of the oMcers of the road got on this car last night coming up and caught the conductor eating peanuts and took him off.” “Do you mean to say they discharged him for that?” “Oh, that’s nothing. That very cold day we had two or three weeks ago one of them saw @ condnctor Jump off tbe car and run along with it to warm his fect. When he got to the depot they took him off.” “How long does it generally take to make the six round trips?”’ “About fourteen hours.” “are the drivers paid the same as you are?” “Just the same.” “Jt must be dificult to manage THE BRIBERY BUSINESS?” “Well, it has got to be managed somehow. There is the starter, the driver and a whole batch of spies that jump on and off constantly. Every one of them has go. to have something.

The Secretary was in the car ana pitcne into me for not having more matches. I told him how it occurred; that my day’s work was finished when | was put on. He said no matter, I should always have pienty with me. He wrote something ona bit ef paper and gave It to me to leave at the office. When J got up it was my discharge, “How much do you average in a week 1? “Last week I got but FIFTY CENTS FOR THE. WEEK.

The poor chap almost cried. You see it was A REGULAR ‘PLANT. ?? Finding the subject interesting, the Ninth avenue Was next visited, and things were found to be pretty much in the saine condiuon as the lenth, “Four- teen hours a day, sir,” said the conductor, ‘for two dollars and nota minute allowed you to eat a meal unless you can save it on your Ume. Then every one of these cursed leeches wants romething out of you." “This line belongs tothe same company as the Eighth avenue, doesn’t ity” “Yes, They just keep this one going to prevent any one else coming on It.

The men on this line complain bitterly at the hours ana the severity ol the management. They are at times DEPRIVED OF WORK for the slightest cause, and often without any rea- 501 in. On the Sixth, which ts one of the begt roads in te city, there are eighty-five cars and two sets of conductors, These cars are kept cous antly going day and night, which makes the work compara- tively easy for the men, who are paid by the week. The Broadway and University place men are looked upon by the others as the “SWELLS OF THE ROAD,” and they are undoubtediy better and more com- fortably dressed than their less fortunate coryrires, although the wages are no betier—two dollars a day—while in bad weather they are subjected to THE TRIP RORROR. A conducter on this line told me, one night a few weeks ago was going down Wooster street, when, just below Houston, a man jumped on and and went into the car, which wasempty. Immedi- ately after another jumped on the rear tyrone! in & most excited staté, and swung himself backward and forward, watching the man inside narrow): while he kept on swearing and muttermg to himseif, “That man is not drunk. He ought to be, d—n him! I thought he was; he isn’t. I fixed him well enougk, too.” “What's the matter, sir?” sald the conductor. be you see that man in there? He’s got $6,000 on him, A HOOSIER; he’s been in with my woman for two hours, and had three bottles ef wme; I fixed ’em for him, and he’s all right yet, That man ain’t drunk, d—n him!” As he watched the innocent looking countryman in- side uncenscious of danger the idea came to his mind that the prey was quietly stealing away from him, which threw him into the wildest excitement, Looking around him several times with the greatest alarm, he said te the cenductor, “If I could only see one of my pals we might do the job here! IT’S AN INFERNAL SHAME to see that fellow going away with aii that money on him. You might go out 1p front with the driver. My pal could jump on there and tle you both; we'd fix that. I could ‘bust’ a lamp and go for that Hoosier in two minutes? And as he developed the Vilainous plot the scoundrel seemed to lose all con- trol over nimseli; but, fortunately for the conductor, Some passengers just then got en the car and the assassin was obliged to remain quiet; but he did not give up the chase. The man got off at Barciay street, Jollowed cauulously by the tmief. Meeting a conductor, who bad a temporary breath- ing speil for some trifling misdemeanor and assum- ing to be looking for employment on the Broadway road, the question was pat— “How much can you Inake a week ?”" “Well, if you can fix it to get on our line, the week or 80 you can make over four or five doll: but after that, a8 soon as you get UP TO THE WAY OF IT, you can generally average trom ten to twelve.”? “Over your wages ”’ (with a look of scorn}. “Look here; yeu’d better not go on the cars if you're that soit.” “How are the hours?” “Pretty jong. Some men mich as sixteen hours a day. The Bleecker strect line pays two dollars a day, as do most of the cross-town companies. The Fourth avenue, where the fare is more than on any otier line in the city, the trip system exists an all its wretchedness. TWENTY-TWO CENTS A JOURNEY, Six trips making a day’s work. One of the con- ductors on this line had his car run into down town by an express Wagon during the recent storm and severely damaged, The driver was taken off for a week and handed the pill paid for repairing the car. Not being able to pay 11, he was sent to the express company to collect it, but returned empty handed. ‘The conductor was then taken off for a week, but he also falled to show the justice of his claim to the express company, and carries the bill about with him, hoping ‘something may turn up” to refund jum the money te company ts deducting from his wages. De the elegantly dressed ladies who travel up and down these lines ever think, as they fannt about, that perhaps aU: on that road work as EB IS GNAWING SAVAGELY at the stomach of the quiet-looking man on the rear platiorm? He bas a wife and, perhaps, littie ones, cooped up in a miserable garret he loves as dearly as you are douted en in gilded boudoirs, and many @ pang his saddened heart receives when he leoks on the SUPERFLUITY OF LUXURY in his car and thinks of the absence of necessities in hia ewn poor home. On the Third avenue the time is about thirteen hours a day; the average wages are from two and a half to three dollars, depending on the length of the ups, Four journeys to Hariem—that ts, eight times over the distance from the HERALD building to Mar- jem bridge—constitute a day’s work. A conduc.or, repiying to an inquiry, said, “I get thirty-seven and a half cents tor this trip; my sup- per cost me twenty-five. Now, what bave J left to take home to my family f” “How many tn family have you #? “Three children, my wife and a decrepid mother, ‘so that I am forced to legislate In some manner to get my supper. | have only been on the cars about three months, and you can fancy how anxious I am to find another job.
