him well in hand by giving him place
and money. He was an Orleanist to
the back bone, sneered at the Empe-
ror, ridiculed and defied him, but ac-
cepted his favors, was always quar-
reling with the empress, and probably
feared no human being, save his wife,
who young, pretty and coquetish, has
kept her old n,ouStache of husband in
a constant fune of jealousy by her
flirtations and her fondlings. Proba-
bly, no intelligence will be more graft
fying to Louis Napoleon than the an
nouncement of Malakoi's death, and
the Empress mourning will be of a
festive character He was gambler,
a rogue and duelist-one OF st. Ar
nand's clique-and the French mess
rooms sing TO this day with the scan
dal they created. He took the tower
of Malakof, and by it gained duke
dom, a pension of 800, 900 per annum
and the ridicule and wit of Paris, who
compared him to the Haytien Dukes
of Lemonade and Princess OF Mousset
Candy. Pellissier, however, pocketed
the honors and the money, and re.
sented the sarcasms. He was round
and fat, but his sword arm was a.

In the Imperial Club of Paris, the
loudest talker, the loudest swearer, the
