THE LATE KING OF DENMARK.

The late King of Denmark was probably the most "highly connected" man in Europe. He was ■an uncle of the present King of England, an uncle of the present' Tsar of Russia, a brother of the present King of Greece, and the father of the-present King of Norway. To Englishmen his main claim to celebrity was that he was the brother of the sweetest and

most deservedly popular of English queens. King Edward's widow, once the Princess of Wales, now the Queen Dowager. Rumor has always credited the Danish Royal Family with leading the simplest, purest, most wholesome of lives. The late King of

Denmark was a quiet-mannered, unpretentious gentleman, devoted to the welfare of his people, and beloved by his family. Of all the European monarchs he was probably the most retiring; but his influence 'or good extended far beyond the ronfines of his. Court.
