The Return
of Emperor
Wilhei.m to Berlin 1
After the trying and tragic events which came
a shadow over Germany, and Berlin in particular, during the past Spring and Summer, tbe recent
return of tbe German Emperor in restored health
and spirits, to bis capital, welcomed by hundreds
of thousands of bis subjects,—bas been a most
pleasing and satisfactory event. During the Summer and early Autumn, the Kaiser has been visiting in different places in the Empire, regaining the
strength and vigor which is so striking a characteristic of bis advanced age, but which, it was
feared, bad been hopelessly shattered last June by
the cowardly bullets of a would be assassin. All
Germany has followed with joyful interest the encouraging statements which have appeared from
time to time in tbe official reports in reference to
bia convalescence and returning strength, and tbe
recent jubilee of welcome here proves bow true
and lasting a hold he bas upon tbe hearts and love
of bis people. Specially marked bas been tbe cordiality of the Rhenish Provinces, where he bas been
travelling and visiting during tbe Autumn, one
city vicing with another in testifying to their Imperial Head and Father the sincerity, and depth of
their loyality. From tbe time it was announced
definitely tbat his return to Berlin would be in December, very little else bas been spoken of here in
all circles, but or the most fitting manner in which
to give bim welcome. Tbe papers were crowded
with accounts of what was to be, and old and
young, high and low, were eager to bave a share
in such a celebration. Artists, Architects, City
Authorities, private citizens, all seemed to enter
into a friendly compact to do theirbest and utmost
to translate the prose of regular streets, buildings
of brick and stone and mortar, everyday and common-place sights and objects into a poetry of decoration, of color, of effect which would bear witness to tbe love and affection of those who staod
ready to welcome tbe Emperor. Certainly the result was ample compensation for all tbe labor bestowed upon tbe preparations, and all who love
the German Fatberland cannot but feel tbat tbe
old year passes away more pleasantly because of
tbe memorable triumphal welcome of the 6th of
December. For some days before the sth, the
city presented tbe quaintest and most picturesque
appearance. In the principal avenues crowds of
work-men were busily occupied in constructing
triumphal arches, rearing statues and allegoric
and symbolic groups. Public and private edifices
began by degrees to hide themselves under floating
sb
festoons of national colors and drooping fragrant
wreatbes and garlands of evergreens. Far into
tbe night of the 4th aod morning of the sth the
work went on. Eve.ry one was eager to know if it
could be finished in time. I chanced to pass
through one of the public places during tbe evening preceeding the entry, and although I have
since then seen tbe glory of the pageant wbicb followed, I can scarcely soon forget tbe odd and I
may say beautiful effects which the unfinished
work produced. The night was dark, and through
its shadows flashed and glowed great torches of
ruddy flame which were borne from one place
to another as more light was needed. Busy workmen—soldiers and others—were passing hither and
thither. Artists stood near by giving directions.
On all sides lay fragments of statues ; a crowned
bead ; laurel wreatbes ; symbols of victory; of
Germania ; uplifted bands ; drooping white wings
—so tbat one might almost fancy himself in tbe
midst of the ruins of some ancient and classic city.
Great painted banners were being swung into
place. Moist and fragrant mounds of evergreens
la; waiting, dumbly appealing to be fashioned into
some welcoming shape. And so all night long,
under the flare of tbe torches the work went on,
and when tbe morning came, beauty and order and
symmetry crowned tbe chaos of preparation. Tbe.
arrival of the Emperor was fixed for twelve,
noon. Hours before, the Linden and tbe other
long avenues through which the procession was to
pass were lined by thousands and thousands of
people, patient and ordely, every window in tbe
line of march was crowded and the roofs of tbe
bouses were often times occupied. Every bouse
was decorated, some most elaborately.
Facing
tbe depot was a towering obelisk, ornamented
with appropriate devices and Biblical texts, and
covered with a profusion of palm branches and
surrounded by massed shrubs and clinging vines,
within whose embrace tbe waters of a fountain
foamed and gleamed. From this point on. followed an almost unending avenue of arches festooned
with flags and evergreens, until at the Brandenburg Gate, tbe entrance to tbe avenue Unter den
Linden," the effect was superb. About this grand
and historic gate, transformed into a triumphal
portal, were grouped towering evergreens until it
seemed almost difficult to realize tbat it was in reality no longer summer. Looking southward from
this entrance, was tbe verdant avenue we have
just passed, and before us lies tbe Linden one succession of elaborate arches and statues. The Emperor, just before reaching Berlin, received from
tbe Crown-Prince the Government," which had
"
*
been entrusted to him as regent, and hence entered
bis capital again as active ruler. From the windows which our party had on the Linden," a
most excellent opportunity was afforded us of
watching the procession. It was really the grandest of eights. Tbe center of the avenue was kept
clear, but on both sides stood thousand and tens of
thousands of people. Bands ot music filled the air
with martial strains. As tbe Emperor's carriage
appeared tbe crowd broke out into tbe most enthusiastic and jubilant shouts. What a glad and
pleasing contrast it was. this welcoming, rejoicing
burst to the still, bushed throng which filled the
Linden on tbe first Sunday in last June. The Emperor looked extremely well. With bim was tbe
Empress. Then followed tbe Crown Prince and
Princess, and then many other carriages, and then
the endless procession, corporations, tbe military,
different guilds, the old veterans, but most interesting of all tbe students who came by hundreds
and hundreds. The Corps Studenten were conspicuous in their caps and sashes of blue and
orange and purple and crimson, and other colors,
certainly a most picturesque sight. Some forty or
fifty American students walked in tbe procession,
led by the stars and stripes. The old Emperor appeared on the Balcony of the palace and was again
most enthusiastically greeted by tbe crowd below.
"
"
"
But tbe finest thing of all in tbe reception celebration was tbe illumination of the evening. Tbe
whole city was one sea of flame. I can scarcely
imagine anything finer. It would be utterly impossible to put into words tbe magical effects produced. Tbe intense brilliancy of tbe newly discovered electric ligbt is something marvelous, and
at such a time as this may be used to splendid
purpose. Nothing could be more striking and
brilliant than the flashing through the night of this
strange weird light. Modern art and science bave
brought new elements of beauty into such a scene
as that of wbicb I am speaking so tbat tbe old and
well-known method of illumination seem almost to
have vanished from thought and sight Out of tbe
dazzling, brilliant splendor of this illuminated
nigbt there will always live in my memory tbe recollection of one or two especially beautiful and
striking scenes. Above tbe Brandenburg Gate
rises a chariot of victory, drawn by four horses; at
all times interesting and imposing, it was rendered
peculiarly effective by tbe arrowy gleams of electric light wbicb fell upon It. Beyond this rose into tbe nigbt a winged victory, lifted high into tbe
air on a towering column similarly illuminated.
Like an enchanted tower, seemed tbe beautiful
and symmetrical tower of city-hall, so lighted by

a glow of crimson Ore tbat it seemed almost possessed of a vivid, passionate life. In the poorest
houses were lighted tapers or some other attempt
at adornment. In nearly every other window was
a bnst of the Emperor, surrounded by flowers or
plants, and crowned with laurel.
Since bis return the Emperor has been busily
engaged, receiving deputations and corporations.
A few days since the diplomatic corps were received at tbe Palace and paid their respects to the Emperor and Empress. Tbe Empress made particular
mention of the Minister, Mr. Carter, inquiring for
bim most kindly. B*otb the Emperor and Empress
are looking extremely well—though tbe Emperor
still carries bis right arm in a sling, but his iace is
as bright and healthy—bis smile as geaial and bis
words as kindly as ever. On the Sunday following
bis return, especial services of Thanksgiving for
bis recovery were held in tbe different churches of
the olty.
_
The death of Bayard Taylor, the American Minister in Berlin, brings sorrow to many hearts, both in
the Old World and tbe New. Mr. Taylor's appointment to bis important post as tbe Representative of
tbe United States at the Court of Berlin gave universal satisfaction both in Amerioa and Germany.
On his arrival here last spring be was received with
warmest and sinoerest cordiality, aod from the very
first bis rare and genial charaoter, his personal
worth, bis marked' and well-used talents, won for
him a wide oircle of friends. His health, wbicb
since his arrival bas been far from good, has during
the autumn been steadily failing, so that for some
time past there has been but little if any hope of his
recovery. His death on Thursday last, tbe 19th,
came with painful suddenness, however, to many.
Tbe sympathy manifested for tbe afflicted widow and
daughter has been most genuine, and even in tbe
midst of their grief and desolation oannot fail to be
of some comfort and consolation. Mr. Taylor's
oareer has from the first been most striking and interesting—full of encouragement lo every young
man desirous of making for himself an honorable
ptaoe in the world. His large acquaintance with
German life and manners and literature, and his
perfect command of the German language, fitted bim
peculiarly for the post to which be was called. As a
lasting bond between German and English-speaking
people will remain his masterly translation of
Goethe's Faust," perhaps the most striking work
in all the wide range of German literature. Tbe
44 Life of Goethe," upon which be was engaged,
must now probably remain for ever unfinished. An
elaborate philosophical poem of bis, whioh has recently appeared, Prinoe Deucalion," will now be
read with deepest interest. By those who have come
to know and love bim here, in hia new home, his
loss will be most deeply felt, and yet in our present
personal loss we feel tbat we bave through our
acquaintance with him gained a treasure whioh
death is powerless to take.
Since I wrote tbe above, we bave attended the
funeral ceremonies at tbe Amerioan Legation, which
were in the extreme simple and impressive. Rev.
Dr. Joseph P. Thompson delivered an eloquent address, briefly but lovingly sketching the life history
of the poet and world-traveller. Auerbach, the
famous German novelist, followed bim, in a similarly tooohing poetio apostrophe to tbe departed, tender with words of deepest personal affection. The

A raw WORDS ABOUT CHRISTMAS.
Germany, the birthplace of tbe Christmas Tree,
is now centering its thoughts upon tbe festivities
of the coming week. The very air seems filled
with a spirit of preparation. In some circles,
the recent death of the Grand Duchess of Hesse
Darmsladt, Princess Alice of England, will however bring sadness at this Christmas tide. Throughout the Empire the mourning for this young wife
and mother has been moet deep and genuine. It
has been said that no death since tbat of the
idolized Queen Louisa, many years ago, has been
so deplored. There was something peculiarly
touching about the circumstances of her death.
During the illness of her husband, the Grand
Duke and that of her children, from diphtheria,
she had retained her health and was enabled to
care fcr them unweariedly. When they seemed
no longer to need her oare, she was herself seized
with the same disease and shortly afterwards
died. The Duchess has taken great interest in a
Hospital in Darmstadt, and it is thought that the
disease was contracted there.
Berlin presents a very animatedappearance just
now. The principal streets are crowded with
busy buyers, and the shop windows are beautiful
and tempting in the extreme. Little forests of
Christmas trees, mounted on stands, make the
public market places seem almost summer-like.
In Germany no home is without its Christmas
tree. There is something very beautiful in the
universality of tbe custom, aod in the interest
with which the old as well as the young look
forward to the lighting of the tapers on Christmas Eve. In different parts of the city little
villages of booths bave sprung up, where all
manner of articles are being sold, so that the city
seems to be one large lair. Tempting as the city
is juet now, your correspondent is running away
for a few days at Christmas to friends in tho country, who promise him a real German Christmas,
difficult to find in large cities.
Germany can
no longer claim an exclusive right to the "Christmas tree" on the ,4 Eve" doar to children. For
round our world runs now at this blessed festive
season a verdant belt of gleaming "trees," and
all nations, where Christianity has found acceptance, join in this pleasant, old, but ever new
custom. But Germany is still "par excellence"
the land of "Christmas" and the 44 Christmas
tree," and a visit here is scarcely complete without a "Christmas" celebration ! and this I have
had this year in perfection. My dear friends,
tbe Yon P. family, by their warm and urgent invitation, tempted me away from Berlin for the
holiday week to their beautiful estate in Mecklenburg. As I left Berlin, the city lay robed in
white, snowy draperies, growing whiter and
whiter under the soft touch of the falling snow
flakes. It was impossible not to know it was

merry travellers, muffled up to the eyes in huge
furs, going borne for tbe holidays. And at every
station the keen air was warmed into a sort of
summer mildness by laughter and welcoming
words and hearty greetings. How like some
gladdening burst of sunshine through rilted olouds
in the midst of the world's business and cares
and troubles these bright days in the heart of
winter! In the Mecklenburg landscape there is

ing off to tbe Baltic. And yet there is for one
born in the tropics, a never failing source of
pleasure in the quietest of landscapes, purified
by the whiteness of winter. And in the few
hours' ride from Berlin, 1 felt, as scarcely ever
before, the restful influence of gray skies, limitless expanse of spotless snow, sombre but richly
shadowy forests. At one of the stations coming
north our company were met by our host and
son. who were just returning from hunting on
their estate in Pomerania, so tbat we received a
pleasant addition to our party. At Rostock, a
quaint old town, one ofthe Ilanea- league, our
railway journey ended. The early winter twilight had already gathered over the antique gable
roofs of the houses, so that we saw but little sof
the city, The family coach, with its four stalwart horses, was ready for us, and soon we were
dashing off through dark evergreen forests, over
roads sheeted with snow, and under the clear,
starry December sky for a fifteen mile ride.

elegance tbe Castle had in waiting for us, and
better than all, tbe kindly, smiling faces of our
friends greeting us as we left the darkness and

I am sadly tempted to give you a long
account of our Christmas week here, but my
time really permits mo only to sketch it very
hastily. My host is proprietor of one ol the fine
old Mecklenburg estates, which he manages with
wisdom and skill. The castle, its surroundings,
its interior, etc., are charming. There is a certain primitiveness, a conservativeness, a reminder of some old regime about the life and people

reading some old romance, or poem or chronicle,
or that during this holiday week 1 have been enjoying a long and pleasant dream, whioh will
fade away as soon as I am once more in tbe
midst of the realities and prose of Berlin.
The "modernizing" spirit which bas of late
made itself sq much felt in Germany, has, happily, not to any very marked extent invaded tbe
order and peace of this region of Mecklenburg.
In this district are a number of old families of
tbe nobility, owning large estates, and about
whomcluster little villages of tenants and working people, whose fathers and forefathers lived
and worked very much as they sjork to-day. It
would be untrue to say that the condition of the
people had not been much improved in some respects, that a freer and broader spirit does not
exist here. But on tbe whole, the old times still
linger, modified and mellowed by the new.
We have passed directly into all the enjoyments
of winter country life. Each one is free to
amuse himself aa he may like, with walking,
hunting, riding,
sleighing, skating, etc., etc.
The weather was perfect for Christmas. The
snow which bad fallen a few days before was in
excellent condition for sleighing, and the sun
glowed and gleamed in a gloriously blue northern sky, and reflected itself endlessly in snow
crystals, in arrowy-pendant icicles, in frozen
brooks and ponds. The castle stands on slightly
rising ground, with a little lake on one side, now
frozen and still, beyond which a wide and beautiful park of beech and oak, and pine and fir,
stretches away. Not fur off is tbe little village
of Kolzow, which rests peacefully undor the
sway of tbe Schloss and its master. From the

drawing-room windows
is a charming view of the
little cbutch, surrounded by now leafless trees,
and hemmed in by glorious drifts of snow.
As
the shadows of Christmas eve gathered over the
country, little groups of the country people
might be seen wending their way on foot to tbe
church, or coming in large parties in sleighs
from the neighboring estates. The little church
back with history some two or three hundred years, and yet seemed not too old to enter
with a sort of quaint simplicity and earnestness
into the services of Christmas. Before the altar
stood two evergreen trees gleaming with tapers,
—a pretty custom which I have seen only here.
Tbe cburch was further decorated with sprays
and wreaths of green. The Mecklenburg church
is Lutherian," the ,4 Reformed" being in a
minority here. The altar of the church is profusely decorated with old carvings and paintings,
and the high pulpit, where tbe young clergyman
stood in black robe and bands, was similarly ornamented. Tbe gallery in tbe rear is an ancient
affair with wood carvings, family arms, etc. Facing the pulpit and near the altar are the high
pews, fenced and railed in for the gentry of the
neighborhood, and in the body of the church are
seats for the people. The services on Christmas
eve consisted of chants and choral singing from
the cboir of boys and men, and prayers and reading of passages of Scripture by the clergyman—
a quiet vesper service. As we came out again
into tbe evening air and gray-lightedatmosphere,
it seemed like the finding of some old picture
which I had seen and tried to realize long, long
ago in the Tropics as a boy, thinking of what a
nortbern Christmas eve must be. Through the
door of tbe church, framed in curving arches of
stone, came glimpses of the twinkling, gleaming
tapers. Quiet stars shown in the softly darkening skies. The suow clothed the land far as the
eye could reach with a mantle of stainless purity,
lifted itself in massive waves over fences and
walls, crested tbe roofs and lighted the gloom
gathering in tbe firs. Sleigh bells tinkled in the
frosty air, and pleasant words passed between
those hastening home to delight the little ones'
eyes with the ever new-born beauty of tne Christinas tree. In all the snow-covered houses of the
village stood Chrißtmas trees. The 44 Foreeter "
bad seen that each family was provided with one.
And the fathers and mothers and children gathered about them and gave and received their simple gifts as has been so long a custom in this
German-land.
In tbe castle we had the same pleasant custom,

though perhaps on a somewhat larger scale. The
ringing of a bell announced to us that our presence was desired, and we entered the large,
brilliantly lighted hall, in triumphal procession,
while the music of a German choral came to us
irom one of the neighboring rooms. It was one
of the prettiest Bights imaginable. Two trees
with tapers, covered with all manner of bright
and glittering ornaments, which it is the delight
of German children's hearts to make and buy,
gave us welcome. Running all around the great
room were little tables, bright with gifts and
lighted with Christmas tapers. Each one had
his or her tabic What a bright, merry time we
