oient manner in which French is taught in
onr boarding schools and colleges. ] assured
HE Majesty that we studied the French in all
things. that 'French Without a Master" was
not uncommon in our Bookstores, nor frogs in
onr Restaurants. He said he desired to main
tain his relations with America. /, knowing
that his Majesty once lived in New York,
asked him if he had any there ''None to
speak OF, )" said he, with his usual playful
smile, which / wish my friends in New Haven
could have seen.
This interview was prolonged for nearly an
hour, not counting the time the Emperor was
asleep. / saw no visible indications of ill
health, but l should say he was older than he
was fourteen years ago, yet he told me he had
seen the time when he was as young as he
ever was.
As took my leave of him he took me cor
daily by the hand and said he would give me
a bran new copy of his Caesar, )" which is quite
large book, and sells for six dollars in New
York.
The next evening l was honored with a
public presentation. There were four thou
sand guests looking down upon me. My name
was mentioned; he took me by the hand and
said, 81 am happy to see you, Mr.. Abbott.
This is Eugene. | wish you would examine
my clothes and Eug6nie's waterfall, and the
next time you write to your country tell them
all about it." This was an honor which was
not conferred upon any one else. 1t is with a
continually hesitating pen that l briefly re-
cord these scenes, but had you, or my friends
in New Haven, seen me in my court dress, and
the two ladies with me, with gold stripes down
the leg, and cooked hat under my arm, you
could not help being impressed with the gran
deur of the scene. think the Emperor has
one of the most cultivated minds and nous
taches in Europe, and Eug6nie's patent
duplex" was certainly the most graceful one
| ever saw. Yours,

"Ahr' said the Emperor, in his usual good
English, "You are Mr.. Abbott. You made
my uncle shine like a new franc piece and if
you purpose trying your skill on me, we will
go into the house and mix our blacking there.
And will bring out all my old understands
ings,' and you may shine them ALL" At this
touch of sarcasm on the part of the Emperor
we both laughed heartily for you know, dear
S. E., there is an understanding about the
Emperor that needs polishing. You can take
a joke--I mention this privately between
ourselves. We went into the house. He led
me through, l guess, seven parlors, each of
them more than seventy five feet long, and all
of them covered with the best three ply car

the justice which my pen had done to the
Emperor Napoleon i; that he had tried
the same thing for himself, modestly, under
the title OF "Life of Cesar" and that he
was thinking of making decree that every
man under Government employ should be
furnished a copy, and the price taken out of
his weeks pay. He said by that means he
would get a large sale for it. l was greatly
struck with the natural resources of the En-
peror's mind.
] informed the Emperor that l had ran
sacked all of the bool-stalls of Paris for books
and pamphlets bearing on his reign, and that
had an agent in London, at big salary,
who was visiting all the waste paper stores
for similar publications. Replied the En-
peror-"What you find in Paris will be all
right; but the printed matter relating to
me across the Channel is, in the main, | be-
leve, apocryphal"
The delicacy with which the Emperor re-
ferred to England as "across the Channel"
was very commendable and beautiful. 1 then
commenced, after this interruption, to speak
piece to him, quoting largely by memory from
the introduction to my Napoleon III" l
said-"When l reflect upon the birth of your
Majesty in Paris (''whieh happened early in'
my youth" interrupted the Emperor, who
seemed to be anxious that should be exact
and truthful in any statements was about to
malze), ''the first Empire, then in the zenith
of its glory-the birth of the Imperial Prince,
welcomed not only 10y the ringing of the bells
of the metropolis" (''including the household
physician's,' - interrupted theiEmperor, with
slight smile) "and the firing of guns-the ex-
pulsion of the Bonaparte family from France
the death of your elder brother instead of your
self-the expulsion of Queen Hortense and you,
her surviving child, from the continent of
Europe" (''yOu're well posted, +" interrupted
the Emperor again your Majesty wander
ings in America ("the least said about that
the better, F." exclaimed the Emperor with an
anxious and frightened look, which limited
that must tread light here )-''your return to
England-thG five years captivity in the
