fhis Is the Prince Imperials birthday. he
| having completed his tenth and entered upon
| his eleventh year. For the past three years on
| this occasion there has been n review of a COM
| pany OF boy soidiers-entdnS de troupe, of whi ch
| the Prince is q member and afterwards a dinner
! at which he presided. Having Just recovered
| from the measles, however, he probably does not
] feel sufficiently strong for such proceedings at
| and public buildings were hung with flags, and
| the Emperor as usual on such occasions has
| exhibited his Joy by selecting about two hun
| dred supeTannuated mayors OF communes, and
| decorating them with the ribbon of the Legion
| OF Honor As to the Prince himself, for young
| man he has certainly done very well. He is a
| corporal in the Grenadiers of the Guard and
| Honorary President of the Committee of the
| Grand Exhibition, speaks seven different Ian
| guages, all about equally well; Is "well upn in
| French and foreign history and is said to be an
| exceedingly kind, amiable, and intelligent boy.
Gustave Dore, it seems, is not TO illustrate
| Shakespeare, after all. A publisher offered him
| four hundred thousand francs, but he demanded
| the round sum OF a million. ltis perhaps not
unfortunate that the proposition fell through as
| with all his genius it would have been utterly
| impossible for him to have done the work in a
manner which would have fulfilled all the exi.
| gences OF art. He does rot read word OF Eng
| lish, and would have been, therefore, Obliged to
depend upon a French translation; besides
| which, it seems utterly impossible that any
| FTenchman can properly understand Shake
| speare. For the fables OF La Fontaine, upon the
| illustrations OF which he is now employed he
| receives five hundred francs for each one, and il
| is said that after making his studies he draws
| two day, for which he receives cash on de-
| livery. he may be seen almost every day now
| at the Jardin des Plantes, studying the move
| ments and peculiarties of the animals which
| will occupy places in this great work.
