Small Gossip About the French Emperor
and EIupresa,

The latest Partisan gossip about Napoleon
III says that recently, when the Emperor
and Empress were walking arm-in-arm in
the Bois de Boulogne, His Majesty saw a
young lady, who was walking some PAGES
before him, drop her pocket-handkerchief,
and His Majesty picked it up and called to
her. She turned around, as also did her
father, mother and brother, who accompanied
her; but all of them-they were, it is said,
Russians-On recognizing the Emperor, were
thunderstruck, and hesitated to approach.
The Emperor then advanced to the young
lady and gave her the handkerchief. An
other journal tells about a Haroun al Raschid
adventure of the royal pair.
One evening, just before New Years Day,
which was extremely wet, the Emperor and
Empress went out incogHito to see the stalls
along the BouleVards. Protected by large
umbrella, their Majesties passed along the
southern side, from the Rue de la Paix to the
Rue AentmRrtre, and returned along the
opposite one as far as the Rue NeuYe des
Oapucines. They made numerous purchases
during this long walk. The Empress filed
her pockets with all sorts of little toys and
nick-naeks, varying in price from one sou
to ten. Their Majesties also purchased sew
eral articles of larger size, and on paying fol
them, requested the dealers to put them by
till their return. AS they never came back
of course the stall-keepers remained in pos.
session of both money and goods. Some o.
the dealers recognized their Imperial Gus
toners, but were discreet enough to keeI
| their discovery 10 themselves. This wall
| greatly amused the Empress, who, on re
/ turning to the Palace, distributed her pur
chases among the ladies in waiting.

A Turkish JOurHa on Abraham Liuc0In's
Eicctiou.

The Turkish paper at Constantinople, Re
poSitOry of NeieS, as its name signifies, de-
votes long column--a column in the con-
densed Arabic character, occupying, if writ
ten out in Roman letters, the space of two or
three of fours-devotes a long column to the
early life and personal appearance of Lin
coin:
He is very tall man, in fact the talIest
man in the United States, or, in other words,
a very Saul among men, if you are suffi-
ciently acquainted with the English litera-
ture, to know who that distinguished indi-
vidual was; he is also very thin and dry
man. His father was a reRck- bear, alias
hod carrier, and placed his son as a servant
on a farm. On account of his great strength
he was set to work to hew down trees and
split rails; but this occupation not being
suited to his peculiar turn of mind, he opened
q grocery store.
Still unsatisfied, he next entered the army,
and in process of time, attained the rank of
captain. In this position he began to feel
the defects of his early education-for he
never had six months of instruction in his
whole life, all iold-and at the age of thirty
five he applied himself to study in good
earnest.
AS the Americans are great takers and
speech-makers-in this respect differing very
greatly from the Osmanlis-Lincolu, having
sufficiently prepared himself by his studies,
began to make speeches, and as they were
all against slavery, they created great stir
in that part of the country in which he
lived.
Now, in the United States, the people un-
derstand how to reward merit, as we'll as
the Great Padishahs of Turkey, who raised
footmen and Georgian slaves to the rank of
Grand Vizier; thus was Lincoln sent to Con-
gress, and becoming every day more and
more popular, he has ended, as you see, by
being elected President
But this Lincoln, as we have hinted be-
fore, is by no means a handsome man. He
has curious habit of walking with his
hands behind him, and is very slovenly in
his dress. In fact, however new his clothes
may be when he gets them, as soon as he
puts them on, they hang about him in such
way that none would suspect he had worn
them less than half century.
But England loves Lincoln, and he will
be avery popular man; Notwithstanding the
people in the South of the United States are
very angry at his election, and threaten to
break away from the North.

Social Life in Kansas GaIstT Of Denver
A Denver correspondent of the ST. Louis
Democrat writes:

A Denver correspondent of the ST. Louis
Democrat writes:
Denver City has grown TO be the greatest
place ] ever saw for public and private balls
and parties. 1t seems remarkable If there
are not three or four here every week. Sew
eral times during the holidays there were
four or five entertainments in different por-
tions of town the same night. The theater
is generally well attended, at ST ticket,
and public balls always command five to ten
sets, at the tune of $4 and So a head. The
previous evening, OF the ensuing forenoon,
you might try for hours and you could not
succeed to squeeze single cent of a debt or
collection, on account, from most of these
classes nevertheless they are always in for
any thing like these. While there is got to
be considerable conservatism among the
upper crust-so to speak-there is an extra
ordinary latitude allowed among the Flower
orders"
The times have not changed here since
mans mistress was recognized by many as
being an unnoticeable constituent of the
body corporate. The milliners must be
making the most money of any innocent set
of citizens here. You can see more richly
gotten. up dresses, delicately-decke bonnets
charmingly-sweet CATERS, fancy feathers and
flummeries pertaining to the fashionable
female harness, on the streets, and in the
halls Of amusement in Denver nova days,
than in any city of its size in the Western
country. One set, or clique, vie with an
other set or clique, one circle suppose them
selves as the especial aristocracy mot penny,
perhaps, in the pockets of either, while an
other circle in society console themselves on
the score of far superior sense and style, and
substance.
One matron of mature years will whisper
to her ball. room consort, There, do you see
that old virgin putting on airs 2" while, per-
haps, the party of the second part alluded
to, might have been remarking to her gall
liant favorite, "Look at her once-I guess we
all might splurge as heavy as she does, if we
only kept bodrderSW They get up here
some of the finest private and public sup
pers, at balls and in private houses, that can
be relished anywhere in the States. Con-
fectionaIy Of the most stylish quality, oceans
of Champagne on most occasions, fine string
and brass bands TO discourse the lateJt airs
and arias, are things of weekly occurrence
here at present.
The gentlemen here, married and single,
are fully up to the vices and virtues of their
age and their advantages. Considerable fine
dressing, fashionable outfits, Partisan posi-
tions and practices, lots of intrigue, inno-
cence and vanity, fair exterior and addresses,
doubtful and bogus principles in social af-
fairs, obtain to slight extent among the
'lords of creation" in Denver here as well as
elsewhere. Young gay deceivers and gray
headed husbands have each their sway and
circuit here, among certain constituency.
Many of them, broken in morals and bank
rupt in means, apparently flourish like q
| green bay tree, and swim on the shining
| surges of our best society.
