The Chiselhurst Exiles.
HOW TaEY LIVE IN ENGLAND-AN INTER-
ESTING INCIDENT.

The Emperor Napoleon's life at Chisel-
hurst is thus described by one wha has the
privilege of becoming acquainted with the
social doipgs there: " During the forenoon
all is silent in the mansion. The Empress,
after prayers, breakfasts with the Prince
Imperial, who then walks out in the park
for short time, the rule OF resuming his
studies in the morning being broken
through the indisposition of the Emperor
to whom the society of his son is the chlet
solace of his exile. The Prince remains rs
with his father during the whole process OF
the toilet, then assists at his late breakfast;
which, contrary to the custom of the Iull-
cries, is taken alone. During this time the
conversation between the father and son Is
maintained with interest AID affection.
The bow has cheered and soothed the bodi-
~ pain and mental agony of the Emperor,
who is sometimes seen to smile as the
former recounts his experiences OF Eng
land and the English, and offers judgment
according to his lights concerning the
habits of French boys as compared with
those of England. When the Emperor
| leaves his own apartment, the Prince Am
perial repairs to his studies. But his Ma
iesty declares that already the glory of the
day ia over, although he feels the necessity
of the separation for a while. The morn,
ing's report of the state of Paris ID still
furnished by Pietri, but is never once aiio-
ded to. Even the Empress herself never
dares to venture an opinion on the subject.
She has her own reporters, and is always
prepared for the event before it happens:
What has struck the friends of the Imperial
family most of all is the comparative soil
tude in which each of its members seek 10
live. There is something touching IN the
solitary walk taken by the Emperor UP ana
down the avenue leaning on his cane ana
stoppinp every now and then to remove
} the pebbles from his path, according to the
habit of all men engaged in deep thought.
: His Majesty has grown much latter s1nte
his arrival at Chiselhurst. But he walks
, with far more ease than on his first arrival
in England, and now only requires the arm
. of a friend to help him up the steps OF the
hall door of the mansion"
A charming apecdote, worthy of tue an !,

: about among the higher circles in London.
