Meeting of the Emperor and Queen of Prussia at Tllsit. It. was at this crisis of Prussia’sl affairs that the king. aft-er much urg- ing, consented to sum 1011 his queen. The rumors and insinuations concern— ing the czar’s undue admiration of her, so industriously spread by Napoleon, had made him over-sensitive; but as a last resort he felt- the need of her presence. She came with a single idea to make the cause of I'lagtleourg her own. 'She had suffered under the ma- licious inn ucndos of Napoleon regarding her character; she had shared the dis- grace of the Berlin war party in the crushing defeat at Jena and Auerstadt; she had bee-n a wayfarer among a dis- graced and helpless people; but her spirit was not broken, and she an- nounced her visit with all the dignity of her station. The court carriage. in which she drove, accompanied by her ladies in waiting, reached Tilsit on July 6, and drew up before the door of the artisan under whose roof were the. rooms of her husband. Oiiicers and statesmen were gathered to receive and encourage her with good advice; but she waved them away with an earnest call for quiet, so that she might collect her ideas. In a moment Napoleon was an- nounced. As he climbed the narrow stairway she rose to meet him. Friend and foe agree as to her beauty, her taste and her manners; her pre.ser.o:e,_ in a white dress embroidered with sil- ver, and with a pearl diadcm‘on her brow, was q‘ueenly. In her husband‘s apartment, she was the hostess, and as the stair. “What would not one do for such an end!” gallantly replied the somewhat dazzled conqueror. . ‘ The supplia-nt, after making a few respectful inquiries as to her visitor’s welfare and the erTect of the northern climate on his health, at once an- nounced the object of her visit. Her manner was full of pat-hos and there were tears in her eyes as she recalled how her country had been punished for its appeal to arms, and for itsmis- taken confidence in the traditions, of the great Frederick and his glory. The emperor was abashed by the lofty strain of her address. So elevated was her mien that she overpowered him; for the instant his self-assurance fled. and he'felt himself but a man of the people. He felt also the humiliation of the contrast, and was angry. Long afterward he confessed that she was mistress of. the conversation, adding that she stood with her head thrown back like Mlle. Duchesnois in the char— acter of Chimene, meaning by this com- parison to stigmatize her attitude and language as theatrical. _ So effective was her appeal that he felt the need of something to save his own role, and accordingly he bowed her to a chair, and in the moment thus gained determined to strike the key of high comedy. Taking up the con- versation in turn, he scrutinized the beauties of her person, and, compli— menting her dress, asked whether the material was crape or India gauze. “Shall we talk of rage at such a'solemn moment?” she retorted; and then pro- ceeded with her direct plea for Magda-- burg. In the midst of her eloquence, when the emperor seemed almost over- come by her importunity, her meddling husband most inopportunely entered the room. He began to argue and rea- son, citing his threadbare grievance, the violation of Ansbach territory, and endeavoring to prove himself to b‘e right. Napoleon at once turned the conversation to indifferent themes, and in a few moments took his leave. “You ask much,” he said to the queen on parting; “but I promise to think it over.” The courageous woman had done her best, but her cause—if, indeed, it was ever in the balance—was lost from the moment sheput her judge in an inferior position. flier majestic bearing was fine, but it was not dipl‘o- macy. She might, nevertheless, have succeeded had she been the. wife of a wiser mans Long afterward Napoleon thought she might have had consider- able influence on the negotiations if she had appeared in their earlier stages, and congratulated himself that she came too late, inasmuch as they were already virtually closed when she ar— rived—Prof. Sloane, in Century. PUNG RIDING IN BOSTON. A Very Unique Way of_ Indulging in Fun. Speaking of sleighs, the practice of' pung riding on the part of young girls seems to be. alarmingly on the increase." It has been common enough in other years, but recently it has, to judge Without an actual census, been un- precedented. 'The driver of a grocery wagon says that he can get along with the boys, but. that the girls beat him. “You can lick off the boys,” he says, “but how are you going to lick off girls?” , Certainly they won’t take no for an answer, and generally they do not observe the formality of asking per- mission to mount a sleigh. They jump on anywhean the runner, on the evenier, on the seat with the driver; they tumble in backward over the tail- board, and drag screaming behind, holding on by the tips of their fingers. Some of the girls who thus assault the passing sleighs are alarmingly small, and others are alarmingly large. Some are also alarmingly weilvdressed. The centers of the pung riding diver- sion are~ such streets ‘as Columbus avenue, West Newton street, and other South end thoroughfares, but the sport is not unknown on Commonwealth avenue, and even Beacon street! To leave out of the discussion the question whether the amusement is a decorous one, it. certainly should be discouraged, because it is dangerous. In these days of electric cars, young children should hardly be allowed to run at large on the streets, especially in the pursuit of an amusement that often absorbs their attention so completely that they » cannot be depended upon to look out for passing cars.-——Boston Transcript. ; ,(T A ZE T T F a ‘ ‘ ' .
