Emperor and the Prince Imperial But the buzz never
for moment ceases, and the hall is like vast bee
hive the Senators who I'll all one-haf OF the velvetcoy-
cred seat the floor and the Deputies who m the other
half with the belated ladies and beated men who wall
in the comfortably seatcd dgnitaries all talking,
laughing whispering, and grumbng, Ike one man.
The heat is intense: no American mid-August
uncomfortable and yet have three good
quarters OF hOurl to. wait At length Light wind OF
"Vivats" waiting ears, aud the estrada Is
soon animated with gilded group Of Marshas, Minis

He has kept that promise he has kept hundred or so
others, and appeared Saturday conspicuous by the
spendOr OF his new uniform. The WHAT'S nearer
and nearer, and the whole assembly rises, the
usher enters with the woudbe solemn cry The Empe-

downcast eye always, and the Empress by his side,
gently bowling TO right and left. He Is dressed Gen

costume. Her dress is OF teacoOred silk with train,
and her head she has little straw has,
with ribbons and feathers OF color to match her robe
Two great diamond daisies in her her carried

that she had been beauty IT'S fault when one

noticeably like his mothers, Is very sweet but without
character and he seems, is quite natural IN az
1t is fact which struck me strange, and which ~
you will not find in any French newspaper, that
there cheers given for either the Empress the
Prince Imperial. The Emperor was very warmly re-
ceived--as might have been expected tsee-
ing that he was not in the street. and
only so to speak, in his servants hall,
but that makes singular that it impossible 10
raise any cheers for his wife and While nc
reading his speech uckless whose loyalty could
not be confined in cage as her own breast
tried to give to il by raising shrl squeak which
was meant for "Yiye lImperatrice" That instead OF
getting response of enthusiastic limitations she only
raised general litter Several persons similarly affected
raised different times cries Of "viye lie Prince I'm
peria" but the result only awkward silence. I
haven't very tender heart for this Imperial family but
confess pited this poor child Of Il who seems to have
SO few friends when he needs so many.
Behind the young Prince and the Prince Napoleon
the Prineesses Cloude and Mahilde, and after them
bevy Of Court ladies' richly but elegantly dressed After
mounting the step Of the platform the question OF the
thrones quickly decided, the Emperor standing
in front of and the Empress in front OF tho other
Next the Emperor his right the Prince Imperial
and the Prince Napoleon, two chairs exactly alike,
and on the left OF the Empress the Princess Clo

has the OF being what she looks She was dressed
in dress Of brilliant green silk that not becoming

that convention which sets rules for mourning our

black can't be had. Besides believe the Princess
grief for the departed Anaoe is not excessye as you
know they had long divorced rather, had long

about this ceremonial day The only thing that greatly
interested the lack Of even court conventional
enthusiasm for the two people the and the child
who i'll the natural of events, must ere long he
nut I'm position of great danger and responsibility it
is mpossble that they themselves should not have
ced the silence that greeted their entrance, and have
made their reflections. But the Empress shows her
self very little in public and seems 10 have an instinct
that she little liked think may judge from all
hear that It's much dislike the people feel for her
as a sort of contempt. she had but recon-
mendaton in the eyes Fenchmen: they thought her
pretty This was something to balance her beings foreign
er, which bad enough, and a spanard, which was
worse and something too to balance her want OF mind,
and her lack OF power to say even pleasing
notngs. Now, her beauty is with her health, and
let her paint an inch thick, as she does cannot hide the
rayages illness aud anxiety and courtfe have made
in her As for the little Prince, he looks not
made long life and when consider the state OF
public opinion III France, the idea that he will ever be
allowed To take at least To keep his fathers chair,
seems a thing unreasonable TO believe. \ future, not
pleasant 10 contemplate, lies before him, and heart
stouter than a childs might reasonably trembe as n
unused upon the silence those rich and cultured thou
sands who had only cheers and shouts for the strong
man whose will to-day, in France is law, and for
the wife and child he has sacrificed 80 much TO place
upon his ul-got throne.
