frequently used, probably from ignorance while
the guards were passing The crowds were
immense everywhere. Not only every window,
bat the roof of every house, was as full as it
could well be-
The Emperor reached the place Vendome
exactly at lot o'clock. The Empress and the
Imperial Prince had arrived half an hour pre-
vlously, and bad taken the place prepared for
them IN the balcony Of the Ministry Of Justice
The Prince wore his uniform of q corporal of
GreDadiers, and drew his sword and placed it az
the carry when the Emperor appeared His
| Majesty approaching the balcony, saluted the
Empress, and then turned his horse round
facing the Napoleon Column, to see tho march
ing past. Marshal Random, the Minister of
War, Marshal Magnou, the Commander in
Chief of the army in Paris, and the Emperor's
| personal staff ranged themselves Immediately
behind him. Prince Napoleon took no part in
the procession.
AT the hoad Of the procession came the
wounded who were well enough to walk
They we've literally loaded with costly boquets
which had been thrown TO them by spectators
on the boulevards, l saw scarcely man
among them without at least one, and several
had six or seven. A young and handsome
officer OF the 74th, who had both his arms
tightly wrapped up in linen bandages, excited
much interest. Many of the men were very
badly wounded, and walked with difficulty
some were ON orutches but they all had a
strlkingly cheerful look, which bore witness to
the wonderful efficacy of moral consolation for
physical suffering. After the wounded came
the Imperial Guard, commanded by the newly
created Marshal Reguault Saint Jeau d'Anpely,
an elderly looking man, with white hair, mus.
taches and imperial. He placed himself in
front OF the Emperor, with his back TO the
column, while his staff took up position be
/ hind him CLOSE to the railings The Guard
then marched past, between the Emperor and
their commander. The Guards being house,
hold troops, their colors are kept by the EN-
Peror, and accordingly every regiment halted
while the ceremony was gone through of re
turning them to his custody. Cent Garde
came forward, took the flag from the porta
drapeau, lowered tito the Emperor, who saiuted
in return, and then the regiment presented
armsi the flag was left behind with the Cent
Gardes, to be taken TO the Tuileries. This
ceremony made the marching past the Guards
rather long business, although the men step
ped out well.

dance with military usage, by the four Marshals
commanding the four corps d armee, which fol.

we'll received on the Place Vendome; but the
iavoTlte beyond all question was Mlrshal Nc
MahOn. His appearance was saluted by wav-
ing of handkercheis from all parts cf the place
at once, and bravoes which lasted for several
minutes. Many Of the generas-who, thanks
to Legray's Photographic portraits of them,
were readily recognized by the pubic-receiyed
great oyations. General Forey, in particular,
was hailed with storm of applause. The gen
erals returned the cheers of the public by rails
ing their sword hilt to the height of the face
and bowing repeatedly. 1t was evident from
the expression of their cOuntenances that they
derived immense pleasure from the homage paid
to them Many officers of lesser rank came in
for share of special applause, either from
friends who recognized them, or on account of
their names having appeared with Distinction
in official reports. The flags riddled with balls,
called forth expressions of frantic deiglt-

the wounded, Several regiments had great

bayOnets, aud some of the officers had collars
of flowers and green leaves hung on their hor

became evident that the public, out Of their ir.
repressible enthusiasm, had given their flowers
so literally to the leading regiments that they
had none left for the others After the first
hour of the marching past scarcely any flowers
appeared, although some Of the most popular
and deserving regiments were in the last sarps
