Show LEOPOLD CF KaHIHZOLLEHM. This young man. who has sprung iu'.o such ao.ive notoriety i:i a few days, is no very formiaab.e personage. A Fre'K'h p.itrer. since the Franco Prussian Prus-sian diiaeulty commenced, calls htm bitterly and sarcastically 'a beggar in t vited to r'-'i-n ovr a na''on ff L"z- J If,.. i j , or a'lu .-t a- p .or as ; th; i-'ovi-i'-ll J-iV t'trki-y.

But France sees one I'ru--ian prince on tho throne of Rou-mania, Rou-mania, sees North and South Germany consolidated or consolidating with her ancient and now powerful foe, and deeply dislikes the idea of another Prussian prince occupying the ol 1 scat of the Bourbons at Madrid, to still further augment the prestige and in crease the power of Prussia. France, too, ha3 a strong yearning for a frontier fron-tier extension on the llhine, and would like nothing better, appaicntly, 'ban a chunca to try and secure it, for which the c indidatura of this petty prince Leopold was taken as a pretext. Tho likelihood now is that the war-clo d will float over for the present and peace con'inuo. |
