A Bonapartist grocer has devised an ingenious mode of rendering Imperialism" palatable even to Republicans asirreconcilable as Madier de Montjau and Louis Blanc' His plan is worthy of the Yankee Barnum. Here it is m a few ftwords. Instead of having his p&tes' d' Italic for thickening beef broth cut m stars and circles, they are to be shaped m the image of Napolean 111., of his son, and of his widow. When the bits of paste are thrown into the hot fluid to which they are to add nutritive qualities, they will expand into Bonapartean proxies. P'dte ImphrialeWu. be printed m striking char-' *acters on each packet. The trade mark will be an eagle, and inside the wrapper will be a sheet of literature eulogistic of the Empire.
