 Ills "star of empire" was now begin ning to appear on the European hon. kon, and from this hour onward his
 fixed purpose to he the future King of
 France was shaping itself In his mind.
 The attempt on ,trasburg, in liss, was
 \ bold dash Tn the direction of fulef-
 ship in W hich thts nephew of the Great
 Emperor first sought his throne. The
 insurreelion WAS failure, as was also thai ol Boulogne in isIo, and upon oc.
 tober 9th. of that year, Napoleon re. ceiNed his sentence of imprisonment for life tn the fortress of Ham. This
 old castle in which Joan of Are, the Ministers of Charles N., caVaignac,
 lamoriciere, and Louis Napoleon have been confined, k located in dreafy re gion on the left bank of the Some, some ] forty miles south ol Amiens. In lsie the garrison consisted ot ioo men, more than a tenth of whom werei constant ly on duty. And yet, in the carly
 morning of May 2o, ls45, Louis adroit- ly escaped his guards, disguised as n carpenter, and carrying plant upon
 his shoulders. He reached Eng land in
 safety, and announced to the govern
 able. Lord Aberdeen replied that his
 residence in Great Britain would, not
 be objectionable to the Queen. lson- don, therefore, became his home till the next, and the most glorious, change in his fortunes began.
 This, oi course, included those years during which he was al the head ot the French government. There will always oe great difference of opinion among historians as to the purity ot Napo- Icons motives, and the righteousness of his political methods. Doubtless much of the wild ambition of hts great uncle was in hts nature and wrought ilseli out in his government. As civil magistrate he was one of the best in the history of modern Europe. He beaaiitied his capital, and made Paris the center, of culture, art and litera- ture. He was bonntiful patron ot ei- aeation and agriculture.
 His scholarly tastes won reeogni- ton outside his own country. He chose as his eonsort beautiful and igh.minded woman, the Empress Ea. genie, who, for whole generation, WAS the central figure in the world of fa- shion. His son. the Prince Imperial was idolixed st home, beloved abroad. and universally mourned when he fell lighting in southern Africa.
 But ss a political leader Napoleon Ill. was a poor match for the powerful princes and the stern old Emperor of Germany. In few weeks time, dur ing that fatal summer of 1870, the doom oi this ambitious ruler, and the sha- dows ot St. Helena, fell upon him in hts eNiIed home al chlsiehursf. Here, in the words of Archibald Forbes. The Emperor would walk up and down the ] long corridor ot Camden Place with his | sfn on the young Princes shoulder, while he talked to the lad of men and 1! things. Alter the midday breakfast, at which ihe little Court met far the 1 lir>t time in the day, he would sit in l his armchair es the wood tire and talk 'hesFtalls with the Empress, or with visitors, of the remote past.
 Thus he continued to lixe till his end aalne on Jan. 2. l>s8.
