si5; LOUIS NAPOLEON IN NEwYORK CITY.-The
Brooklyn Daily Advertiser, moralizing upon the
rapid ascent Of Louis Napoleon up the ladder of
ambition, from positive poverty, to superlative
grandeur and power, recalls some "reminiscences
Of his sojourn in NewYork city many years ago.

tsWhat strange events have occurred within q
few years in reference to that man! We knew
him while he was residing in NewYork, at a
lodging house in Reade street, then kept by a
gentleman who now occupies high official posi-
ton under the French Government. At that
time he was very poor, and very dissipated.
VIGOROUSLY profigate in his habits, and without
the pecuniary ability to indulge to the full bent
Of his inclination the culpable propensities which
characterized him, he was frequently expelled
from certain places in which he obtruded him

pant Of a cell at the old jail in the Park, long
since torn down. 5s.4s ts.t95s ' 81

and the writer of this article was employed pro-
fessionally by him to save him from the threat

erection. We little supposed at that time that the
thoughtless gay young man who was then our
client (and who is still indebted to us for coun-
sci fees and Disbursements would become EN-
peror Of France. Such, however, is now his
manifest destiny although we believe that his
realization of his ambitious hopes and aspira-
tions will but hasten the fearful doom which
unquestionably impends over him"
