TURE OF ENGLISH FLUNKEYIsM.
brighton Correspondent n. Y. World.l
The city has numerous churches, includ-
ing number of nonconformities.
Among the latter is that of st. Mary
Magdalene, an unpretending little Catho-
lie church, where on last Sunday morn
ing his imperial majesty the empress of
the French, and the prince imperial"
as the British association publishes them
in its journal Of membership, attended
high mass. AT an early hour a crowd
had gathered about the church doors to
see the entrance Of the imperial party, A
woman in the vestibule pulled the bell
coin in the other. "What is the admis-
sion ?" we asked. Anything you please, miss,
only sixpence is the lowest" By the
time mass began, the church was full to
overlooking, and seats were to be obtained
at no price. The ex-emperor, ex-empress
and the son entered at the side door, and
were given seats near the sanctuary. The
three saints studiously participated in all
the external acts OF devotion. The altar
boys swung their censors, the singers
squealed hideously, the priest talked about
doing good and its reward, people stood
up, craning out their necks to catch
glimpses of the back Of the heads of The
illustrious, and very little real worship
was enjoyed. Outside the scene was very
ludicrous. Hundreds of people had gath.
cred to see what was to be seen. Napo-
Icons coachman, with his brown-lined
barouche, and silver-plated harness bear
ing the Surrey shield and shining over
melted iron gray horses, commanded the
principal entrance. At the
side door stood the footman
and policeman, constantly endeavoring
to keep the way open. The footman kept
up fierce harrangue with one poorly clad
woman who stood quite IN the way, but
had been standing two hours to see the
emperor. At length very large man
probably the biggest man in Brighton
rushed in the front door of the church,
and then back and into the side entrance
His Iocomotion, of course, cleared space
: enough for their majestes, and he soon
issued forth again at their illustrious head.
The majestic trio, together with an accom-
entered the carriage. When they were
seated shouts went up Vive I Emperor ="
while few Of the gallants added "Vive
rImperatrice y Eugene bowed and
smiled the emperor sat glum as a stick,
while the imperial prince rose, dotted
his hat, and bowed and smiled
most prodigslly. One woman in
the crowd cried out, ooh, what
shame ~ while what she considered
shameful was matter of doubt. Eugene

worn to the Stanley meeting and rich
and lustrious black silk dress, with black
! lace trimming over white. She has q
goodly sized waist, very sloping shoulders
and her golden hair was put in Chate-
lsine braids at the back Louis and his
son were plainly dressed in black, with
stovepipe hats. The ex-emperor, taken
from any point of view, is a very remark
ably vicious looking creature. The back
Of his head and neck is animal in the ex-
treme his face Mephistopheic. The
prince is nearly as tall AS the ex.emperor,
has very heavy black hair, which he wears
parted down the middle. His complex
ion is dark, his eyes q very light gray or
blue; his nose, which is large at the base,
is concsve where his fathers is convex,
and his large ears stand out from his head
, in complete contrast to the ex-emperor.
His look and smile although disciplined to
suavity, is treacherous and insincere. Now

would die sooner than cheer "his imperial
