HE MEETING OF TIE ENPERoRs OF FRANCE AND
kUssIA--The ~Stuttgard Germany correspondent of
the St Louis Republican gives the following interest
ing description OF the Emperors of France and Russia.
He says: d
During the stay of the Emperor Napoleon and the
Gar, L had a good opportunity of seeing them on
more than one OCCASION, and the first thing that
struck me was the marked contrast in the appearance
Of the two men. Napoleon's face is the exact opposite
to that OF hs uncle. His is by no means as hand
some, and its general contour is entirely different.
His complexion is bronzed by the sun, / presume
from exposure to its effects at the camp at Chalons;
his eyes are light and surrounded by a large circle of
white, that gives them a sinister expression, or to
make my meaning palmer, they have the look of the
eyes OF a kicking horse. with the exception that the
hds are heavy and sleepy-looking; but when he rolls
them around, he looks as if he meant mischief. His
nose and mouth are good, but he disigures their
beauty by an enormous mustache and a long goatee.
His forehead is well formed, and redeems in some
degree the wicked look of his eyes. His hair IS
neither light nor dark. On the whole, his face shows
energy, determination, cunning and genius. L am a
great believer IN physiognomy, and, Judging from his
face, L am of the opinion that it is not necessary for
him 70 consult his ministers TO know what to do, and
when to do il. If Napoleon III. cannot take care of
his own and his peoples interests his face is n lie,
that Is certain. His person is very good, and / think
him one of the finest horsemen I have ever seen.
The Gar Alexander Ill. is really n very handsome
man in form and feature. He is not so tall as his
father, the late Emperor Nicholas, but he is abdee
medium hight, and his profile very much resembles
that or his celebrated rather. The JaundIced CORES
pendent of the London Times says "he has rapidly
grown old since he mounted the throne, and his
present looks give some strength to the unsatisfactory
reports that are current of the state of his health and
his habits of life.' What those unsatisfactory
reports may have been; 1 am unable to say, bat I
certainly saw nothing about his appearance to justify
such an attack. His complexion was clear and rudy,
evincing a high state Of health. He has a rather
round, jovial-looking face, and looks as if he would
ike to be at .'peace with all the world and the rest
of mankind if he was but let alone. His eye is
large, full and sparkling with a mixture of good
humor and benevolence. He wears his whiskers q la
r~nfltaire, coming down half way on his cheeks and
running across his UPPER lip, on which he wears a
rnustache. which is exceedingly becoming to him.
On horseback he sits and looks g every inch a king"
A grocer having mentioned to one of his lady Gus
toners that the submarine telegraph was broken, she
replied that if in the next attempt they should grease
the cable with some of his strong butter which she
had been using for some time, she thought it would
impart strength to it. The grocer smiled faintly, out
of compliment, but didn't see the point of the joke.
An English paper says that Macaulay was made n
peer, not because he has written history, but because
he knows history-in other words, the Ministry wish
for his aid in the Indian discussions that are soon to
take place. He resided several years in India, and
though not much distin guished as a ruler of the
country, is well acquainted with its people and their
annals.
