and had the process of casting car wheels
fully and satisfactorily explained to him
When shown patent rail machine, recently
invented and built by DR.. Roy, of this city,
the Dom expressed himself with laugh,
and saying It was wonder.
When the Emperor had passed through
the works, he was driven to the residence
of Mr.. Auchincloss, Ninth and Washington
streets, where dinner was provided ror him
self and suite.
About half-past two O'Clock, in the after
noon. he was escorted to the works OF the

met by large crowd of people, who had
evidently congregated to look At an EN-
peror, His first object of visit, was to the
car shops, whittier he was attended by j..
Taylor Cause, Captain n. R. Benson, W.
N. Auchincloss, Job b. Jackson, and MS
| personal suite. As he passed through the
works, Mr.. Cause pointed out and explained
to him the objects of interest, to which the
| Dom gave respectful attention, and very
frequently expressed himself in gratifying
terms. Nearly an hour was occupied 10
view ing the yards and ships, when the
Dom announced his readiness to 60. BE-
fore getting into the ssach, he said good
bye to several of the gentlemen standing
near. he then turned to Mr.. Cause, and
taking his hand, merely said "good bye
much obliged for your Kindness" then
took his place in the coach, and, accom-,
panied by Mr.. Auchincloss and Mr.. jackson
was driven to the depot, where the special
train which brought him down, was IN
waiting. Here he bsde his Wilmington

In person the Dom is about six feet two
inches in height, large and portly, with
broad and rather STOPPING shoulders. Hi
head is covered with long gray hair, anu
when he lifted his hat square, full fore
head was visible. His eyes are Of dark
color and nearly hidden by gray shaggy
brows; rather prominent nose; large, bu'
pleasant mouth which, when he talked
| disclosed the fact that his front teeth were
defective; and fair, open face, covered with
long white beard, will give the reader some
idea of how tho Emperor looked. In dres'
he was plain and looked careless. He wor'
about his neck what was once standing
collar, but the heat and perspiration hac
been too much for it. A plain black neck
tie fowed-from beneath his chin, which wal
tied in rather loose manner. His outel
apparel was plain suit OF black diagonal
from which travel had doubtless taken the
"fit," and patent leather, low cut shoes
His head was adorned with large white
felt sembrero, which was SO large as tt
come down over his ears. The only jewelry
about his person was ring and large
gold watch chain, to which was seen
heavy seal. In his right hand nc carried
an umbrella, which he kept swinging In tn
| air aa he walked along.
