THE EMPEROR FoREwAaNED.
The London correspondent OF the New
/ York Ford has the following:
/ The Emperor fully understood the grea
danger of the operations to which he con
sentcd to submit, and was well aware tina
their results might be fatal. He, III fact
prepared for death. He revised and made Z
-and gave it to his wife; and on the day be.
| fore the first operation he made what the
Catholics call "a good confession" received
absolution, and approached the blessed
sacrament. Indcod, he had been scrupulous-
" attentive to his religious duties for several
months past. He. the Empress and the
Prince Imperial, never failed to go TO- mass
on every Sunday, on every holiday OF obli-
CATION, and on every day of devotion. Faith
er Gaddard, the Catholic priest at Chsel-
| hurst. was with him for ten minutes before
he expired. The condition Of the Emperor
made it impossible for him to receive the
viaticum. but the sacrament of extreme unc-
ton was administered. This sacrament, in
the Catholic faith, RENTS yenIal sins, mortal
sins having been already rcnitted by the
sacrament of penance and confession. 1t
heals the soul Of its infrmity aud weakness !:
it helps to remove something OF the debt of
punishment due TO past sins; it imparts
strength tosthe soul and arms it against the
attempts of its spiritual enenliess
EUGENE AND THE FRINGE.
The same correspondent says:
The suflerings of the Empress have been
excessive. Her first night of widowhood
was passed in sleepless agony; for the most.
of the time she knelt on priedIeu at the
side of her dead husband, bathed in tears,
and praying without ceasing. Two Sisters
of Charity kept this solemn vigil with her.
At times the Prince Imperial scarcely less
heartbroken than his mother. came to join
his prayers with hers. Toward morning the
love OF the mother tlumphed over the grief
of the wife. She went with the Prince to
his own chamber and asked him to 90 to rest,
promising that she would do the same for
his sake. The love between these two is
great, and the affection which they bore to
the Emperor was equal.
THE EMPERoR's LIFE AT CHIsELHURsT
The London correspondendent of the New
York Times writes:
Since his arrival in England, the Emperor
has led very quiet, but except during the
last few months, not altogether a secluded
life. Last summer his health began TO give
way, and he suffered greatly from what was
then called rheumatic pains But before thai
tile change Of air and repose did him good,
and he was stronger and more cheerful than
he had been for some years. He then went
about freeley, visiting at houses in the |
neighborhood, ard occasionally running Up
10 London, which is only half anhour,s ride |
OH the railway from Chiselhurst. He walked /
4 good deal, and and also began to try horse I
exercise again. There was a pretty constant I
succession of visitors at Camden House. and T
occasional little dinner parties, at which /
some very distinguished Englishme1s were
sometimes to be found. 1t was understood I
hat it might be inconvenient to have the
lists of the guests published, AM. the visits
If eminent politicians were regarded as
strictly private. The Emperor was a great
avorite with the ladies of the neighborhood,
md used frequently to drop In at a friendly /
drum or afternoon tea. He made himself
