THE CROWN PRINCES OF EUROPE.
(" Alta California?')
Pew of the Crown Princes of Europe are strong and healthy men. Several of them are not likely to live to ascend the throne of their fathers. The Czarowitch of Russia has been a chronic invalid almost from infancy, and at fifteen was hardly expected' to reach manhood. His son and heir, too, -is a Biekly child. The only Bon of Sultan Abdul Aziz is consumptive. 'Dissipation in the various capitals of Europe has made the Grown Prince of Egypt, born in 1853, old before his time. The Count of Flanders, brother of King Leopold, of Belgium, and presumptive heir to the throne, is nearly deaf, and suffers from heart disease. The health of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark, too, is by no means good, and his prospects for a short life are among the objections made to the proposed union of the three Scandinavian kingdoms under his sceptre. The Austrian Prince Rudolph, now thirteen years of age, has always been feeble, and is not likely to live long. The Crown Priuee of Germany is in vigorous health ; but his friend and comrade, the Crown Prince Albprt of Saxony is sickly, and the heirs to the throne of Mecklenburg, Baden, and Hesse, are all feeble.
