LOUIS NAPOLEON AS HE Is.-The Household
Words gives a personal sketch of the Empe-
ror Napoleon at Plombieres Is it treasona
BILE to tell how the Emperor looks at Plom-
bieres, divested of external pomp? He is
grizzled cadaverous, and lame in the left hip,
and labors to conceal that last defect. His
walk is awkward, He turns out his toes, and
leans heavily on the strong stick he carries
in his well.gloved hand. He is carefully
dressed; but, though his coat fits HIM very
accurately, he has nothing of the air of a
perfectly dressed man. His figure is not i'm
proved by the cuirass which his coat will not
conceal. Every step he takes is studied,
while his eye scans every passer by with a
look which has something uneasy in its ex-
preston.
