Attempted Assassination Ct Ma
po1eon.


After the first shot the Emperor ben;
his head a little, either by an ~involulta-
ry movement to AVOID the bullet, or lox-
ing to the horse styling. When he saw
the assassin in the.hands of the people,
and his cloths torn, he called out to
spare him, I am assured, his words were,
"Eprypaes Le-ne lie tuez pas, lie niser-
abLe !" The Emperor did not lose his
presence of mind for an Instant. He
greatefully replied by frequently taking
off his hat and bowling to the thousand
~acciamatlons with which he was at once
saluated, as he still slowly advanced to-
ward the Triumphal Arch. A messen-
ger had been sent on, at a gallop, to IL
form the Empress, who was at the Port
Dauphine, Bots dc B~oulogne, of what
had U Cured, and to reassure her as to
the safety of her husband. Ii less than
half an hour the Empress returned from
hr drive il an open carriage, with the
Emperor, riding close by. The sight
was touching Ii the extreme Her Ma
jesty was deeply affected; her tears
flowed in spite o. her ; she in vaiu es
saycd to dry them, and she sobbed con-
yu!sirely amid her efforts to smile with
JOY at her husbands escape from the
murderer. Evidently she could rot sub
due her emotion; she leaned back in
her carriage, and relieved her heart in
an uncontrolled burst of tears. Then,
indeed, it was that the people who
throngcd the way gave full veut to the
moro generous feelings Of our nature
The sight of the young and lovely wo-
man unable to restrain the agony of her
feelings produced an instantaneous eff
feet the shouts at once rose from the
thousands who were employed on a row
of houses constructing near the spot from
which the assassin fired, lined the half
finished walls, the window-sills, or clung
to the poles of the scaffolding, aud rent
the air with their acclamatioLs.

One or two days of August have
dropped in on US by mistake, sultry and
sitting but this disarrangement has
been rectified, and to-day is as cool as
could be expected. Nevertheless, Sher-
ry Coolers and acid drinks generally,
are getting greatly in vogue. Perhaps
people are getting well soaked, in an
ticipation of a long drought. The ad-
vent of the Law, the Law, par Excel
lence, will probably give rise to all KINDS

dicinal Schanpps,' rnd" Shcrbet of Shi-
voz.p Speaking of drinks, the last con-
t~rivance in that line came out this morn
ing. Walking down Nassau St, to the
Post Office, we saw a crowd gathered
round a hungry looking fellow with a
miniature Bunker Hill Monument strap
ped to his back, and a multitude of tin
cups in his hand. Projecting in front
was a long faucet, from which he ex-
tracted lemonade at the rate of one cent
a drink. His column contained about
two gallons of the fluid, and was sur
mounted by a Juvenile representation Of
the ''star spangled banner" Yet this
touching appeal was UNDECIDED; and al
though a multitude paused to wonder
and admire, none tried the virtues of
the cooling fountain ; patriotism was un-
honored aud enterprise unappreciated.
The tender invitations of the cup-bcar-
er were UNDECIDED, and he strolled away
