The Greeks Have 'Desired Him to Abdi-
cate and Allow Prince Constantinos In
Reign Instead—The Second'Son, Sailor
George, 8 Strong Character.
Three and thirty years ago a 1:710-
turesque scene was enacted
Danish capital. A deputation cf
Greeks—we ought to call them Hel-
‘lenes, but we do not—a deputation of
Greeks demanded an audience of
Frederick VII. the old King of Den-
mark, and asked leave to offer their
country’s crown to his great-nephew,
George of Schleswig-Holstein. For
reply the monarch turned to the hand-
some stripling who stood expectant by
and bade him take his place beside
him on the dais, saluting him as his
brother sovereign._ Four months
passed, and the youth of seventeen
was proclaimed King at Athens, Eng-
land, France and Russia being his
spons0rs. Boy in years though he
might be, the impatient Greeks as-
serted he was man enough for them,
and before the end of the month they
declared him of age, finally placing the
reins of government in his hands on
the last day of October, 1863. Four-
teen days more were then told off, and
the aged Frederick died, leaving his
own throne free for King Christian,
the father of the new Greek King,
this forming perhaps :the solitary in-
stance of a son being an older sover-
eign than his parent.
Having watched him carefully
through the first four years of his
reign, Russia, by a clever stroke of
policy, which caused some stir at the
time, secured the young monarch’s
hand for one of her Grandduchesses,
Olga Constantinovana, her family con-
sidering that the imperial bride’s
value was greatly increased by the
fact that she was only fifteen years of
age at the'time of her marriage. King
George, who did‘everything early in
life, became a father when he was
only twenty-two, and within eleven
months his little bride had presented
him with a second son, the magnifi-
cent young giant, Geo-rge, hero of the
present hour. The gift of a series of
stalwart Princes was hailed with as
much satisfaction as the Ionian Is-
lands, that other present which the
Prince from the north bestowed upon
his new subjects. Their King was a
Lutheran, a foreigner,, and not skilled
in their native tongue; but his boys
were born on the soil, and there was a
promise that not only should they be
Orthodox. but that the first lisping 'o-f
their baby mouths should be Greek.
In consideration of this, as time
passed they almost,_never quite, con-
sented to forgive their Sovereign for
being a stranger. '
manded that he should abdicate in fa7
vor of his son ascore of ,timesjn as
many years, it is true; stil ‘,'lwh‘en’ he
replied that he would do so with
pleasure, but that it would be to the
detriment of all concerned, they have
gone home in peace, consenting to put
up for a little longer with the man
who has increased the area of their
country by one-third and won for them
a leading place among the secondary
Powers of Europe. -, ,, .
Should the King abdicate- his. sud-
cessor would of course be the Duke of.
more ‘ commonly known in‘
Sparta,
Athens as Prince Constantinos. Many
people, not perhaps excluding the
Crown Prince himself, would prefer
the Athleticos Prinkyes, George.
However, even Greece, who passes her
days in doing strange'things, would
hardly venture on such an innovation
you _ cannot be
both Nelson and a King, and sailor
'George means to be Nelson, find a Na-
poleon where he may. In alluding to
a preference for the younger brother
it is by no means insinuated that the
Crown Prince is unpopular. He is ad—
mired, liked and respected, as he well
deserves, but he is somewhat silent
and retiring. '
King George, a true Constitutional
sovereign, wants to follow rather than
to lead his people, but he will not fol-
low to their destruction. As has hap-
pened before, he will pull his team up
on the edge of the precipice—4f they
will let him. The Crown Prince, far-
sighted, level-headed and wary, is one
degree more cautious than his father,
and will advise keeping a little, just a
little, further away from the abyss.
Prince George, who is neither Greek
nor Russian, but an ancient Viking,
pure and simple, looks impatiently at
his seniors and tugs at the lace on his
sleeve, yearning as did his forbears to
seize on some Normandy or some An-
glia or to take his Long Serpent up
any and every navigable river within
his reach, and what, he wouldsay, is
beyond the reach of a man with a
Prince
to be allowed to go wherever George
will take them.—Pall,Mall Gazette.
