OF their intentions, plans and pro.

! neror arose from ''lnxurlous fhu-
teuil," F." of course and advanced TO
welcome me with extended hand
and an air Of extreme qualification,
that put me perfectly ut ease.
"Bnpg shoe, SIRE" said ], giving
bis hand cordial shake. With
tho exquisite tact OF practiced cour-
tier, his Majesty seized the occasion
TO pay mo (and my conntlymon)
one OF his neatcst compliments. Ho
said Perhaps We bad better con

The fact is, You speak French with
an accent that really shames us,
Parisians. I've often remarked this
trait in accomplished Americans,
and wondered ut it," The Empe-
ror's romarks were so unexpectedly
Hattering chat it took my breath
away for a moment but under cov-
er Of y profound bow recovered my
fluency, and observed; "Such n
compliment from your Majesty in
happicr days would have brought
|. tho entire American nobility to
your feot.n My direct allusion to
his misfortues affected his majesty
profoundly. The tears that chased
each other silently down his ma
icslicand imperial pnrple nose, and
drippcd in imperial sorrow from
the waxed ends of his mustache,
might have moved u heart ofstone
with little assistance. 4
Surely, thought l, tho Emperor
WHO can thus weep at his own ca,
fanatics, cannot be utterly heart
less.
When The Emperor hadrocovered
his composure, and had his rose
blowed by the proper officer, ] open
