across the field towards the General Stiff, which had followed along the line. A a the Emperor appeared, the bands played Kill Her, and all the troops salute I him. Ino Emperor, looked exceedingly avid I, and rode dashing by, despite his lingering indisposi* t : on. As he rode down the front of the line, flags were dropped and the men gave three ringing cheers. The Emperor kept his baud on his helmet and smiled upon the soldiers in parsing. Bismarck waved his hand in a friendly manner twice. Having passed up and down the 1 nes, the Emperor galloped across the field to a point two hundred yards to the right of the grand stanl, facing the troops, whore lie took up his position in front of the Crown Prince, sitting erect on his charger and surveying the troops for a moment with deep emotion. The order was given to march ; the bauds struck up, and, with splendid step, I!'), 001) men marched past in so perfect a manner that each battery presented profile as only one gnu. The Herald Cable despatch says the troops in some case; on entering the city vere mobbed, and narrowly escaped injury. Some persons near the Arc do 1 rioinphe convv itulated the visitors on the difficulty experienced by the Prussian cavalry in getting over the heaps of sand and stones ; they pointed to the Are and said, “ Wait till wo enter Berlin.” The Germans took no notice of the insults.
