nz-Itis a oueer thing to be Queen OF an Empress,

nz-It is queer thing to be Queen or an Empress
and it strikes not altogether pleasant one lneTe
is an amount of publicity attached to certain little
domestic affairs from which lady of delicate 1eelngS

the Empress Eugene have, for months past oeen %
reouIarlv published as those pertaining to the siege
Of Sebastonol-when it is 10 come of, and what the
s "a n be has been canvassed cooly as any oth-
-. .to,a question. In Paris nearly everything IS
ootooe and the most recent and attractive specta'
oIo has consisted of the Imperial baby clothes to
,;rbt If which the public are admitted by presenting
,;ckets which are freely given to every respectable
person. Such is the crowd that a line has to Do
formed, and kept moving, under the management OF
the ubiquitous police In order TO be fully prepaeu'
there are two complete sets of babyclothes' mascu-
line and feminine for, absolute as LOUIS Napoleon Is
in France he has nothing TO say in determining whe'h

hands have, by this me got over thhir uneasiness'
and are as we'll can be expected"
By the way, gentleman, some days SINCE told

he was anxious to secure On entering the house. he
found no one in but lady, exceedingly lll-so Ill as
to be confined to bed who told him that her HUSBAND
had gone to the next village for Doctor and ha' she
feared she would die before his return ANXIOUS 10
comfort her he assured her that there was no DAN
GER but she refused TO be comforted. By way OF
final effort at consolation the unsuspectng politician
told her that he had been in the same ~ay himself
several times and got over it. As he did So the nus
hand and the doctor, accompanied by an elderly fe-
male entered the house, in time to hear the last re-
mark The doctor, the husba nd, and the elderly 1e'
male laughed, and even the sick woman laughed
some, if she qcere dying-the electioneenng genue-
man mizzled That evening the county had an IN
babitant the more, but next day candidate the less
for the joke got out and the poor man was laughed
off the track. He could not bear to be asked about
how he felt, ETC., and finally put off TO California
where, somehow, the thing followed him. He has
gone 10 the Fejee Islands
