The Emperor does his b1st 10 prove that Whatever
there may be offensive in tM form Of government
and its particular administration. to himself per-
sonslly there is no hostility. His Majesty drives
about in plain clothes, aud attended simply by two
grooms, in all the busy quarters OF the capital, and
on Sunday afternoon visited in the same unostenta-
tious manner the Quarter st. Denis, the Rue du
Temple, and drove down some of the dark thorough
fares that encompass the locality of ST. Martin. It
s in these districts that the hive of caboring me-
chanics chiefly congregate, and here i. is, as all
experience shows, that political disturbances form
their nucleus; and it must be admitted that if the
passage Of Napoleon the Third, uninjured and un-
molested, proves that the denizens of the locality
have quarrel against him, his Majesty has passed
the ordeal successfully The Emperor is entitled to
the. benefit of the tact that in point Of personal
posure he can do that which very few of his prede
cessors have dared to attempt or if so, seldom with
impunity. He bears in his bosom as brave a heart
as ever beat in mortal man, nor is his moral courage
one whit less than bis physical. On Sunday, while
turning q corner at the foot of the Rue st. Denis,
where the narrow thoroughfare had rendered the
approach of vehicle imperceptible to young wo-
man with child in her arms the pole Of his phaton
almost touched her breast before she was aware of
her danger; in her haste and trepidatoa she sud
denly stepped back, and her foot, coming in contact
with a recently moved flag stone, she tumbled
and fell. The Emperor, who had already pulled
up his horses, sprang from his seat before the
grOoms who sat behind him were even aware OF the
accident and himself assisted in raising the young
woman, who sas not at all cognzant of the rank of
her sympathsing friend She appeared to belong
to the position the humber class of trade; there
wos nothing of poverty destitdtion about her. on
the contrary, her cap, shawl and general mise, as
