scheme 10 turn the meeting Of the British
Association into Napoleonic demonstra-
lion is most disgraceial'
When the grand opening meeting came,
that at which one President retires and
the new one delivers his inaugural adj
dress, Louis Napoleon went little before
the arrival of either Sir William ThOmp-
son, the outgoing, or DIR. Carpenter, the
incoming President. The claquers had all
been arranged, and they had only to cry
out "The Emperor" and begin the ap-
plause: II was caught up, and the applause
was pretty general. Madame BodichOn
told me that she and large number of
persons near her in the hall thought II was
for Stanley, and possibly there was some
Ignorance about it. But the Man of Sedan
eagerly appropriated the applause, and
bowed prOmsely. Then there was a voice
which cried out with an emphasis, which
sounded through the rOom-Shame That
produced some little reaction in the room,
and when the applause was repeated il
was more feeble, and was mingled with a
considerable number of Kisses. But there
was something much more disgraceful yet
to come. The proceedings of this inaugu-
ral meeting (Which is the most important
perhaps OF the whole session. are opened
by the retiring President. In this case il
was Sir william ThOmpson-the man, Il
may be remembered, who broached the
theory last year that the germs of life in
this world were originally sown here by
another planet. This Sir William TnOmp-
sou now begau his address by turning to
Louis Napoleon and saying: "Your
Imperial llighness, my Lords, Ladies and
Genllrmen.' Wien DR.. Carpenter arose
