OF riding out on pleasant afternoons. On
one occasion she was accompanied by the
Princess Matilde, the EmperoF's cousin.
Eugene is as beautiful as Autographs we
see of her in the shop Windows, and quite
affable. She returned the very politebow
bestowed upon her, in the Bois de Bou-
logne, few days ago.
Our minister, Mr.. Mason, is very popu-
lar with American residents here. He is
a bon rivant, gives good dinners, and is al
ways ready to render any service he can
to his countrymen. He is also liked by
the Emperor and the Court. / think the
President had better let him stay.
