attributed TO him in his late visit 10 Paris Inc Dase
If Wellington, he said, no coDJuror or WITCH fe,,
when he neard of the revolution OF 4o, he eXc!amed
m IL Ronaparte come back" The Duke then said, In
the House OF Lords that the English could not main
tain their ground for month after declaration OF
war. Tins feeling had EXTENDED ana increased since
then The national bad conscience was aroused ana
terrified Even in the midst OF peace solemn and
anxious warnings were heard. This was one theory
Af the Emperor that he had rlsen as an avenger 70

United upon his uncle Enthusiastic applause There
was another theory, that Of Mr. Golden, lhe great
Nigh priest Of cotton goods-a man who was invaluable
upon buttoIs and the patterns OF eaIcoes Eleven
wears ago. when the gallant HungaTans were peAting
haek he Austrians across the Danube, at a London
BANQUET Mr.. Golden assured the company that the
Gar would not TO war; and that he could not 90 10
war. He would do nothing against the expressed
onnion of enlightened England ana inc capltnsls oi

ioh deem masses Of Russians were crossing the Gar
pathians and within two weeks Hungary Was crusned'

and possibilities Of Enperors. Lately ne had
taken Louis Napoleon IN hand, having gone
over with thirteen tuns OF baggage, eonssang
Of samples Of Birmingham ana manchester

ous figure in history had ever been more PLAINLY l.e
lieible than Louis Napoleon. His idea OF ms NE was
not original II continuation OF the le anu uS@o
Of he nrst Napoleon. The great idea OF the old Ma

against him. The living Napoleon was but lieuten
ant Of the dead his course shaped by the dying
declarations Of bis uncle. But few da% before his
death he spoke Of the rule Of the Duke Of Orleans and
the return Of his family he then declared in favor of
the restoration of natonalites France was the only
nation which had ever aided struggling, suffering
people TO gain their liberty. And now, whenever
the sword OF BonapaTte was drawn, every down
