we take from the New York Nation. 1t places
the young candidate in better light than we have
been led to view him through the medium of the
British Press. -'.
The Probable President of France. An A,tor
ney OF Corsica, some seventy years ago, married
woman of genius and courage. They had n
family, OF whom all the sohs were Kings, and the
daughters Queens.
The greatest Of these, he who was sometime
Emperor IN France, has now no heir the eldest
OF his nephews, by decree passed in 1904, was
entitled Napoleon, and the refore is now the head
of the family of Bonaparte. This is Charles Louis,
of Louis Napoleon He was born at PARIS.
April 20lh. 1908. All the cannon of the Crane
Army proclaimed the event, and the Emperor
himself Became his sponsor.
Napoleon Louis, now in his 4Ist wear, is per-
haps at this moment President of France. He
presldes over very form liable party, to say The
least of it.. His history IS worth knowing.
When Napoleon returned from Elba, this child
of seven years stood by his side during the bold.
ing Of the Champ-de.n.ai; when he parted from
his uncle at Mamaison, he cried bitterly, declared
he would go and fire off the cannon, and could
hardly be withheld by his mother Horiense.
With the Restoration, his exile. which has now
lasted thirty years, began, His first home was
Switzerland. He grew up TO manhood in that
land OF manhood, walking ten or twelve leagues
day with his knapsack on his back, and sleeping
under tent at the foot of a glacier. The Reyo.
luton of July, 1880, attracted him back to Paris.
The trI-color waved on the greal column, and the
nephew of Napoleon rushed 70 do it honor. He
offered 10 serve in the French army as q common
soldier; Louis Philippe answered his request by
banshing him from the soil tf France.
%. Napoleon Louis took partip the Italian move
ment for independence in 1881, retut ned to Paris,
anG was second time banbhed. =, He again went
to Switzerland from which, in 1886, he made the
memorable descent on Stasburg, where 1000 of
Louis PhiIippe's soldiersdeclared for him.. That
affair failed. and the, ytung Bonaparte was cap
tured, imprisoned, andagain exiled. He visited
the United States, retirned to Switzerland, passed
into England, and, afew years ago, made another |
unsuccessful descen'u upon Boulogne. His impr- |
sonment and escape from Ham are all circum-
stances too recent % enlarge on. ....,: 80.
Such are the anecedepts of this man. He has
been q hard studeit and a writer on practica sub.
jec,s, on Artillery Switzerland, and the Rights of
Labor. The Eglish journals have tried indus
triousy to represent him as having nothing of
Napoleon but mat the taiiors can furnish about
him. but of course they lie. A man, whose title
and character Lafayette approved, and Chateau.
BRAND respeded, can be no mere masquerade
mimic of ihf Emperor. He has Waterloo and
Saint Helen 70 avenge, and therefore England
detests him! We canno, but repeat of him mere
the prophecy Of Armand Carrel, uttered many
years ago. If this young man comprehend
the new iferests of F France-if he can FORGET his
titie of inperIal Legitimacy, to remember only the
sovereignty Of the people, then, and only then, he
may belesned to play distinguished part."-
May sch be his destiny.
