The life or Emperor William I, of Ger many, spans a period of surprising events. His infancy saw Prussia a great powt r. I n. his boyhood his native land was humiliated by the firl Napol eon, and lot one half its territory. His family was reduced to extremities As u yoiith he marched and fought with the arinic that overthrew the great Na poleon. He participated in the down fall of the first Fiench empire, and paraded the streets of Paris with Bhtcher's Torres. When an old man he became a king, conquered Austria, overthrew the second Frencii empire, -again marched the streets or Pans, united Germany, and was made an em peror on French soil. He has been in turn hateu and loved by his subjects as no other sovereign of history. Frederick William Louis was born in Berlin March 22, 1797. His father was Frederick William 111, King of Prussia. His mother was one of the most beauti ful women of the world, and was pos sessed of a laie character of strength and hopefulne.-s. She wis, Queen Loui-se almost as -well known as her son. William chanced to be the second son, and hence not heir to the crown. He was a delicate, feeble little fellow, causing his roval parents much anxiety. It was not until after the famous battle of Leipsie,and when the prince was W years of age, that his father deemed him strong enough to enter the army Prince William developed simultane ously in blrength and military disci pline. His ardor was aroused by rid ing the exploits of his ancestor, Fred erick the Great, by tiie sad fate of hi? conntrv during Iris own childhood, and by the" tears of his mother. Scatcelj was ho 10 years old when Napoleon J invaded Prussia and marched throuuh the streets of Berlin in triumph. The young prince was hastily taken from place to place, oufof the wa of the victor. After the battle of .It-na, in which Napoleon was signally victori ous, Queen Louise was obliged to tlee in order to escape capture. With hitler anguish she said to her two eldest sens: "You see me ween. 1 weep for the downfall of my house and country. Recall these unhappy houn when I am no more, and weep such tears for me as 1 do now for mycounlrj. But :o not be satisfied with tears. Act. develop vour strength. Perhaps o.t may he destined to deliver your country. Do not let yourselves becairied away by the degeneracy of the age. Ue men!" The mother's words niu-t have ever burned in the man's heart. When tin Franco-Prussian war broke out m lhTO the grav-haircd old King, in company with his" onlv son. vi-ited his mother's tomb, bather and son passed a long time in silent contemplation, then bade each other an affecting farewell. When the war was over, and he returned home a conqueror, having Humiliated the old enemy, he again went to the hallowed sepuleher, and placed upon it a hum 1 wreath. During hi.-. early years Prince William received an excellent education from teachers of distinction. He jiic.v in strength, and went to war in 181.". ic ceiving the commission of a captain. The allies were, at this time, closing in upon Napoleon. In the battle of Bar-sur-Aube his father ordered him to get news froin a certain regiment. Regard less of whistling bullets, he dashed into the thick of the fight and obtained the desired information. For his bravery he was decorated with the Iron Cros. In March, 18N. the armies of the allied monarchs of England, Russia, Prussia and Sweden entered Paris. Prince William was with them, and saw Paris for the first time. He was destined to play a yet greater role in this same city. Napoleon was banished to Elba, and Prince William returned home with his Prussian countrymen. In 1815 Napoleon escaped from Elba and burst as a bombshell upon Europe. Once more war waged. Prince William inarched with tho Prussians against the escaped exile. Napoleon was beaten at Waterloo. Paris was taken and the young Prussian prince a second time paraded the bouvelanls of the gay capi tal. His life from that time onward was zealously devoted to the science of war. Not expecting to become a king, he purposed being a benefit to the army. He was rapidly promoted from rank to rank, serving iu various paits of the kingdom. At the age of :KJ he married Princess Augusta, of Saxe Weimar. His life was now one of quietness. He was a soldier, not noted for a brilliant intellect, thoroughly upright, obstinate in his opinions and tenacious of pur pose. He was for a time governor of Baden. When Prince William was 4: years old, and the father of two chil dren, the King died, and his son suc ceeded to the throne of Prussia, as Frederick William IV. The new King, being childless, decreed that Prince William should henceforth be called Prince of. Prussia, being heir to the crown. European countries continued sputtering and threatening for sever.il years. The Prince of Prussia was ad vanced io commaimcr-iu-ciuci oi me army. The revolutions of 1X18 crazed i the peoples of Europe. Louis Phillippe was driven from the throne of France and Germany was seized with the in fection. William Prince of Prussia stamped out the revolution in Baden and Berlin with resoluteness anil re Icntlessness. While his brother, the King, was weak and vacillating in his policy the Prince of Prussia was in favor of strong measures. He had a horror of revolutions and repudiatedlhe idea of popular sovereignty. At one of his brother's councils he flung his swoul ui)on the table and vowed he would rather appeal to that weapon than consent to rule over a people who dared claim the right to "vote their own taxes." He was thorougly hated by the people. So intense was the feel ing against him that it was deemed best for him to quit the kingdom for a time. He repaired to Loudon. There he was an associate of Prince Albert, Peel, PalmersUm and Russell. Uon his return to Germany he again liued in seclusion. During all these years the Prince of Prussia had full opportu nity to see the weakness of his brother's course and t-i study the tendency of events. He was ripening definite ideas and a strong will to execute them. Gradually he regained much of his lo-t popularity. The excitement and con tests of government haiL, shattered the health ot the King. His sensitive mind received a fatal shock. The Prince of Prussia became regent in 1858. He de clared that "Prussia is ready every where to protect the right." He formed a new ministry which pleased the peo ple. In less than two years the Kin lied, and the Prince of Prussia became the jnonarch. He was H years of age, anuwasucscnuea as a -line, uigumcu, handsome, somewhat bluff old man." He was tall and strong. His manners ncrs were vlain, hearty, frank and agreeable. In his military life his sim plicity has been compared to that of drant. He was not liked. He was con sidered too arbitrary. Only one good thing was said about Jiim: "He was honest and would keep his word." The Piussiaus had perfect confidence in his integrity. He was crowned at Koenigs berg with great pomp. On that occa sion he proclaimed to the world that he considered himself a king by divine right and not by any powei from the people. His policy at once, became obnoxious to the people. He desired to reorganize and increase the army. This policy was opposed by the parliament, which refused him the necessary money. The new King was obstinate. He believed what he wanted to do was for the best, and he proposed to do it. He prosecut ed newspapers and snubbed politicians. The claim of Emperor William I to be a great man, is constantly disputed. That he possessed one of the first ele ments of wonderful success must be ac knowledged, from his insight into men. The next year after his coronation he selected as president of his ministry. Otto von Bismarck, perhaps the greatest statesman of modt-rn times. An Eng lishman describes him as: "That mar velous compound of audacity and craft, candor and cunning, the profound sa gacity of a Richelieu, the levity of a Pabnerston; imperturably good hum ored, inimitably unscrupulous; a pa triot without lofty emotion, a statesman who could sometimes condescend to be a juggler; a part bully, part buffoon, but always man of supreme courage, inexhaustible resources of brain and tongue always, in short, a man of genius.' Bismarck is said to have absorbed the King, and from this point onward Prus sian development resolves itself into a consideration of Bismarck. Such is a mistake. King William I had the good sense to discoer Bismarck's power, and has since sustained him amidst all the conflicts of the stale. The King with rare discretion, ferreted out two other marvelous minds to aid him in reorganizing the army. These were Hellmuth von Moltke and Albert von Roon. Willi such counsellors King William was ready to grapple with the approaching conflicts. From this time onward the story of the King's life is indissolubly link'ed with the history of Pnissia. His kingship began in activi ty. He quarreled with his parliament and was hated by his people. They failed to understand him, and so could not unfathom the future, to see the g'ory their king was preparing for then"). No public man in Europe was so unpopular as King William, unless it wis his minister, Bismarck. Even in Englaud it was "an article of faith that William was a blood-thirsty old tyrant, and his subjects all blockheads." Such was the unpropitious beginning of William I as King of Prussia. To understand how the King came to found an empire, it must be remem bered that at this time Germany was a loose confederation of a great many small countries, each jealous of the power of the other almost as antagon istic as If they had been distinguished by language and race. Austria was the ino;t powerful statr in this confedera tion, with Prussia next. Austria was proud of her position as head of the German influence. Prussia rankled un der the predominence of Austria. Aus tria was jealous of Prussia's power. Prussia envied Austria her plaee. Each state sought every means to weaken the other. ith King William began the memorable contest. Some pretext for war must be found. A glance at the map will show three provinces just south of Denmark. Schleswig, Holstein and Lanenberg. For -years they liad been a bone of contention. They were German provinces, but bylhe juggling of monarchical marriages had come under tha Danish king. This was Fred erick the VII. He was the last mon arch of his line. His successor made a decree annexing Schleswig and Hoi stein. The people of the duchies re volted, claiming that they were German and not Danish subjects. At this junc ture Austria and Prussia intervened in behalf of the duchies. Austria was afraid to let Prussia do the work alone. Prussia desired to annex the duchies to her territory, hut saw no way open. This was in18i4. The two nations took joint possession of the duchies having hut little trouble in overcoming .Den mark. Harmony lasted but a short time. Frequently they were on the verge of war. finally King William and the Emperor of Austria met and formed what is known as the compact of Gustein. By this agreement Austria was to have separate control of Schles wig and Prussia of Holstein, while lor a money consideration Lauenberg was ceded to Prussia. This was a short lived expedient. The conflicting poli cies of the two powers in the neigbor ing duchies constantly clashed. Bis marck managed to throw the blame upon Austria. Naturally the various German states took opposite sides in the dispute. King William issued a circular letter. He said: "Prnssia by its situation, its German character anil the German patriotism of its rulers is required to seek its own security within the limits of Herman v. For this pur pose a reformation of the entire confed- ration is essential. If Prussia is not confident of Germany its situation im perils it beyond most other states of Europe. But the fate of Prussia ulti mately involves that of Germany, and if Prussia's sticngln were broken tlie share of Germany in European politics would be but a passive one. The Ger- man confederation in its present form. exposed to danger on every side, will fail in its purpose, and nothing can then save Germany from tho fate of Poland." Austria and the smaller Ger man states at once recognized the in tention of King William and his crafty ministers to centralize Germany under Prussian control. Austria vigorously prepared for war. Even Prussia bit terly opposed the policy of her King. The King was determined. He walked rough shod over constitutional rights. In the month of June, 1800. the tioops began to move, and the King at once issued a proclamation declaring that the cause for which Prussia took up arms was that ot the union of Germany and the establishment of a parliament representing the German nation. King William demanded of Saxony, Hanover and Hesse that-lhey disarm their troops and remain neutral. They refused, and declared for Austria. This was on June 15. By June 29 King William had in vaded and overcome all three. He de posed the King of Hanover and annexed hi. kingdom to Prussia. Von Moltke and Von Roon had evidently done thorough work m organizing the ami-. it was a lite and ileatli struggle. June 27,1801", was sot apart as a day of fasting and prayer in Prussia The Prussians were di ided into two armies, one commanded by the Crown Prince, the King's son, and the other by his nephew, Prince Frederick Charles. Prussia took the offensive and invaded Austria. In Bohemia, almost midway between Berlin and Vienna, is a little village called Sadowa. It is situated on the river Elbe. Near by tower far above the water's edge the battlements of the fortress .Koeniggraetz. nere the two largest armies that had ever met stood facing each other. They num bered a quarter of a million of men each, and were to decide the fate of Central Europe. On the 29th of June tlie King arrived and took command in person. Gen. Beuedek was at the head of the Austrian army. The Crdwn Prince of Prussia had not yet brought his division of the army up. But, fear ing an attack from the Austrians. the King decided to anticipate them. The hot midsummer sun of July, 3, 18G0, burst forth with gorgeous splendor to look down upon slaughter and carnage, and the fate of an empire. At 8 o'clock the King mounted his horse. lie vas accompanied by Bismarck, Aron Moltke and Von Roon on his way to the battle field. The fight had begun. The whole Prussian lino was belching forth de struction. The Austrians were en trenched, and hurled back deadly res ponses. A messenger had been sent the night before, ordering the Crown Prince for ward with utmost hasto. The battle be came more terrible as the minutes sped away. King William grew anxious and forgot "himself. He spurred his horse and rushed into the midst of the battle. His officers weie astounded. Bismarck hurried after him. and upon reaching him, urged his majesty to re tire from harm. The battle became terrible, and yet no Crown Prince was in sight. Ten, eleven o'clock passed by noon came. Ammunition uegan to fail. The Austrians stood firm. The Prussians were growing weary. Yet the battle raged.- Anxious eyes were cast to the left. It was 2 o'clock. The thunder of cannon was heard away in the distance. The rumbling noise was a merry sound to the soldiers of Prince Frederick Charles. The Crown Prince was at liand, and threw a fresh army into the conflict. The Prussians pressed on from village to village. The even ing sun sank to rest, and a red suffusion enveloped the towers of Koeniggraetz, whither Austrian forces from all side were hurrying in sad confusion and route. The campaign had lasted but seven days. The struggle was virtually over. The Prussians pushed on to Vienna and encamped within sight of the city. A few unimportant battles took place about the city. But negotiations were in progress for peace. A treaty was made, by whose terms Schleswig and Holstein were ceded to Prussia, besides which Austria was compelled to pay a large war indemnity. In two months King William had added five provinces to his kingdom, covering an area of 25,000 miles, and numbering 5,000,000 inhabitants. He had shown the power of his arm', had placed Prussia at the head of German power, aiid had di rected a course of civilization. Prussia went wild with delight. King William was a hero. To nod was but to have his wish gratified. The King himself be- came gracious. He granted general amnesty for all political offenses. His popularity was unbounded. His people began to grasp his intention, and his manifest honesty of purpose in reach ing tho end. The great result of the war was the formation of the North German confederation, under a new plan proposed and directed by Prussia. Representatives of each state assembled in Berlin to discuss and adopt a consti tution of union. This was in Febru ary. 18G7. At last Prussia was supreme. King William's life is like, a drama, with here and there a startling act. The plot develops and the loved King of 7.'5 years appears again prominently' be fore the world in the most thrilling act. Prussia's success kindled the explosive French envy. Since King William had assisted in the defeat of Napoleon I, France hail effervesced and solidified and re-effccvcsccd and resolidified with curi ous frequency. Napoleon III was now the French Emperor. King William in 18o7 had visited the Emperor as a guest. Apparently William was content with what had been done to appease his mother's anguish. Napoleon was los ing popularity at home. France was at the effervescing point. Napoleon sought a foreign war te divert his people, and strengthen himself. The pretext was found ami trie quarrel was sought with the King of Prussia. European compli cations forme4 the ostensible reason. Spain had dethroned Queen Isabella, and was in search of a new sovereign. Marshal Prim, of Spain, at the request of the Cortes, tendered the ihroue to Prince Leopold, who was a itieiuber of the family of German Hohenzollcrns, of which King William was the head. France came to the conclusion that Prussian influence was at work, and that if Prince Leopold became King of Spain the balance of power in Europe would be destroyed. King William im mediately answered that he had no in terest in the affair, and hail used no in fluence in the matter. Napoleon de manded that King William command Leopold to decline the proffeied honor. The King replied that he had neither inclination nor power to accede to such a demand, and hence refused. In the meantime Prince Leopold voluntarily withdiew his name. The trouble seemed settled. But while King Wil liam was at Ems, his favorite summer watering place, he received a demand from France that he should agice to prevent Prince Leopold from ever again becoming a eaudidale for ttie Spanish throne should perchance the opportuni ty present Jtself. The King granted several interviews to Count Bencdetti, the French ambassador, who was also at Ems, relative to the complications. King William finally refused another audience to Bencdetti. Tidings that France had declared war reached Ber lin before the train which bore the King from Ems. France declared war on July 15, 1870. On August 2 Germany had three armies, numbering 450,000 men on the frontier of France, ready for action. 1 heir leaders were the Crown Prince Prince Frederick Charles and Gen. Steinmetz. The South German states had espoused the cause of Prussia. King A illiam made a proclamation to the French, in which he said he was not fighting the French, but only their Emperor. He promised them protection and good treatment. To his praise, be It said, that he kept his word, and as a rule the Germans acted as friends rather than enemies in the places they captured. Numerous engagements took pla-e, with victory generally in favor of the Germans. The three armies pressed into France. King William journeyed with his troops. Aug. IS the King com manded at the battle of Gravelottc. He was surrounded by the Crown Prince, Von Moltke, Von Roon and Gen. Phil. Sheridan. The King hardly said a word. His face is said to nave had something almost plaintive in it. It was a furious battle. For ten hours the King was exposed to fire. A part of the time he sat upon an old ladder, one end of which rested upon a pair of scales while the other was supported by the carcass of a dead horse. His majesty remained on the field until the last gun was fired, and then made his supper of black bread and fat cold pork. The French were shortly contincu in .aieiz, and surrounded in the little fortress of Sedan. Wednesday, Sept. 1. dawned as a most beautiful morning. The weather was experiencing that mellow change from summer to autumn. It was the morn ing of the battle of Sedan. King Wil liam and his army had succeeded in completely surrounding Napoleon and his forces'in the little citadel. "Never before in the world's mstory lias tuere been such a butchery as went on during that great fight." It was the Waterloo of the Second Empire. All day the Germans poured storms of shot and shell into the town. From, every- side came destruction. The German eircie grew smaller and smaller. The cordon of death was t witeningupon Napoleon. Marshal 3Ic-Xahon was seriously wounded. Certain death stared every Frcnchman in th e face. Napoleon sur rendered. He wrote to King William and said: "Not beiirg able to die at the head of my troops 1 Jay my sword be fore'your majesty."' TJie youthful Prus sian prince haiLwitnessed the overthrow of the first Napoleon. The old King re ceived the sword, of the third Napoleon who was taken captive to a little castle near by, which King William had des ignated as the place of meeting. The King rode to the castle and dismounted, when Napoleon came out upon the steps to meet him. Their interview lasted only fifteen minutes. Napoleon afterwards expressed himself as much impressed with the courtesy and kind ness of the King. The war continued with almost unvarj ing success of the troops of the German King. Paris was invested and the memorable siege be gun. The famous palace of Versailles, 'near Paris, became tr.e headquarters of King William and his immediate ad visers. For some time there had been a movement, commenced by the South German states, to form a union of all Germany, and proclaim King William of Prussia Emperor of united Germany. It was a wintry Jauuary day in 1871 when the idea became an accomplished fact. In the palace is a large room, whose walls are completlj- lined with mirrors. In this room Richelieu. Louis NIV and Napoleon I had planned their invasions of Germany. In this same room, with much ceremony and mili tary" ponin, King William was pro claimed Emperor of Germany, and tho title made hereditary in his family. Shortly afterwards the new Emperor ordered a part of this palace to be con verted into a hospital. The walls were hung with costly paintings. Emperor William had them all carefully covered, so as to protect them from injury. The siege of the city was the most stupen dous undertaking of modern warcfare. Victor- came at last, and once more Emperor William entered Paris a vic tor. The delicate j'outh was the hearty, ruddy-complexioued old man of 74 years. In six .months of warfare King William's army had fought 150 engage ments, had besieged and taken the three strongest fortresses of the world, Metz, Strasburg and Paris; had captured 000,000 French prisoners, had gained two provinces and had imposed a war debt upon France of 5.000,000,000 francs, The Emperor received such an ovation when he returned to Berlin as is seldom accorded a man. The work of constructing the jicw empire and the various complications arising therefrom busied the Emperor since the termination of the French war. He has become endeared to all the people, although .still an obstinate old man who believes as firmly as ever in the mediaeval idea of kings by divine right. IVitle Awake Jrigi.s. Messrs. W. E.
