Here is an anecdote of the childhood
Of the Prince Imperial that has just
been made public. 1t appears that
when he was quite little fellow he
was very fond of going to play among
the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who
were quar.ered in the palace. Napo-
leon Ill, wishing to see his heir popu-
lar with the army, encouraged him i'll
these trolics. These rough playmates
were, of course, very careful TO shape
their conversation as much as possible
TO suit the age and rank of the boy, but
sometimes an oath would slip out un-
aw&res, and, though the offense was all
ways followed by an apology, it was
pretty sure to be repeated 1t so hap
pc ed about this time that the heir to
the throne was named president If
some learned commission. ''Now, be
careful" said Napoleon to the little
Prince, ''When you find yourself in the
presence of these gentlemen, to put
them at their ease as much as possible,
and not to interfere with their cunver-
sation." 1.-The child promised to re
member this advice; and so one day,
instead OF going to play with his be~
loved Guards, he was solemnlj present.
ed to the learned association in ques

aged men, profoundly salu:ed the heir
to the throne, and an instant of silence
succeeded. 80, gentlemen!" cried the
little prince, with his mothers own
sweet and gracious smile, 'dont let me
disturb anybody-you can so on swear>
