EMUS WARD SEES THE PRINCE NAPOLEON.

?T1 If ("From an American Paper.) btjlptlistanding I haint writ much for pipers of late, nobody needn't flatter ■rdfilves that tho undersifrnetl is dead. On ia,tfptrary, "I still live," which words were e In hy Danyil Webster, who was an aole ngfJEven the old line whi£3 of Boston L Emit that. Webster is dead now, howram and his mantle has probably fallen refpe hands of some dealer in 2nd hand ouljwho can't sell it. Leastways nobody stJfto be going round wearin it to any paricen extent now dnys. The ripriincnt of , Jnl was kurnal finerly concluded they rnfitter adapted as HomeGards, which aclel for you not hearin of me ere this, he| the hauls is the thickest and the cansi ith roar. But as an American citzen I 3y| lever sease to admire the masterly adttp our troops made on Wasinton from g,| un a short time ago. It was well dun. I ;\,m to my wife 'bout it the same time. My W.id it was well dun. It havin there4 tfirajetennined to protect Baldinsville at all fc,||rds, and as there was no apprehensions w immejiate danger, I thought I would >eM into a j>leasure tower. A cordinfrly I gjgi a clean Biltd Shirt and started for rownton. I wont there to see the Prints heßeon and not to see the place, which t isfflere take occacion to obsarve is about as jttrestin a locality as there is side of J. idfl's future home, if he ever does die, and )»I reckon they'll make it so warm for mSpat he will si for his summer close. It Jm enouff to see why a man goes to the ■Vfjpoupe or the penetcntary. It's because ejfii't help it. But why he should wolunJaßoandlive in AVashinton, is intirely *»d my comprehension, and I can't say no ownor that. I put up in leadin hotel. I ifShe landlord and said, "How d'ye do, mJ " "^'^y cents, Sir," was his reply. tW htdf-a-dollar. We charge twenty-five :m for looking at the landlord and fifty iwfor epeaking to him. If you want supH, boy will show you to the dinin room xfrenty-flve cents. Your room beiu in

the tenth story, it will cost you a dollar to be shown up there" How much do you -ox a man forbreathingin this equinoniical tavun?" scd I. " Ten cents a broth," was his reply. Washinton hotel's is. very reasonable in theiv chaiges. (N. B— This is sarkassutn) I sent rny keeredtothe_ Printsj-and was imraejitly ushered before hinii £texecelve,d mekindlyand asked me to sit down^"! have ctim to pay my respecka to you Mr Napoleon* hopin to seeyou hale and harty.'' " "I am quite well," he sed.- --" Air you well, sir ? '*""■ Sound as a cuss. 1 ' I answered. He seemed to be pleased with my ways, and we entered into convesation to onct. " How's Lewis " I axed, and he said the the Emperor was veil. Eugeney M'as likewise well, he sed. Then . I asked him was Lewis a good provider ? t>id;he cum home arly nites ? Did he perfoom^her bedroom at an onseasonable hour with gir^ahd^tanzy? Did he go to tho Lodge on nighfs^ when' "there wasn't any lodge ? Did he often hare to go down town to meet a friend ? Did he have a extensive acquaintance among young widders whose husbands was in Calif orny ! To all of which questions the Prints perlitely replied, giving me to understan that the Emperor was behavin well. "I ax these que e tion3 my royal duke and most noble highness, and imperials, becaws I'm anxious to know how he stands as a man. I know he's smart. He is cunnin, he is long hedded, he is deep — he is grate. But unless he's good he'll come down with a crash one of those days, and the Bonyparts will be Busted up agin. 'Bet yer life?" "Air you a preacher, sir?" he inquired, slitely sarkasticul. "No, sir. But I bleeve in morality. I likewise bleeve in meetin' houses. Show me a place'Svheie there isn't any meetin' houses, and- where preachers is never seen, and I'll sltdw you a place where old hats air stuffed in broken winders, wnere the children are dirty and ragged, where gates have no hinges, where wimmin air slipshod, and where mnp3 of the devil's 'wild land' are painted upon men's shirt busums with tobacco joce ! That's what I'll show you. Let us consider what the preachers do for us before we abcose 'em." He said he didn't mean to aboose the clergy. Not at all; and. he was happy to see that I was interested in the Bonypart family. "It'p a grate family," sed I. "But they scooped the old man in." " How, sir ?" .'.'..Napoleon the Grand. The Britishers scooped 'him at Waterloo. He wanted to do too much, and did it ! They scooped him in at Waterloo, and he subsekently died at St Helenyl There's where the greatest military man this world ever projuced pegged out. It was rather hard to consume such a man as him to St Heleny, to spend hi3 last days in catchin' mackeril, and walkitt' 1 up and down the dreary beach in a military cloak drawn tirely round him (see picture-books), but so it was. ' Hed of the army !' them was his last words. So he had bin. He was grate ! Don't I wish we had a pair of his old boots to command sum of our brigades f" This pleased Jerome, and he took me warmly by the hand. "Alexander the Grate was punkins,'? I continued, il but Napoleon was punkinser. Alic wept becaws there was no more worlds to scoop, and then took to drinking. He droWndid his sorres in the flowin bole, and the flowin bole wns too much for him. It ginrally is. He undertook to give a snake expedition in his boots, but it killed him. That was a bad joke for Alic!" Since you air solicitous about France and the Emperor, may I ask you how you're own country is getting along?" said Jerome, in a pleasant voice. "It's mixed," I scd. "But I think we shall cum out all right." " Columbus, when lie diskiverod this magnificent continent, could have no idee of the grandeur it would one clay assoom," said the Prints. "It cost Columbus twenty thousand dollars to fit out his exploring expedition," scd I, "If he had been a sensible man he'd hev put the monev in a hoss railroad or a gas company, and left this magnificent country to the intelligent savages, who, when they get hold of a good thing, knew how to keep it, and who wouldn't hev seceded nor rebelled, orknockt liberty in the hed with a slugshot. Columbus wasn't much of a feller, after all. It would havbin money in my pricket if he'd staid to home. Chris, ment well, but he put his foot in it when he sailed for America." We talked sum more about matters and things, and at last I riz to go. "I will now say good-bye to you, noble sir, and good luck to you. Likewise the same to Clotldy. Also to the gorgeous parsons which compose your soot. If the Einpeior's by don't like living at the fooleries, when he gets older, and would like to embark in the show bizness, lot him cum with me and I'll make a man of him. You find us somewhat mixed, as I before observed, but cum agin next year and you'll rind us clearer nor ever. 1 ' . . . Then advisin him to keep away from the Peter Funks auctions of the East, and the proprietors of corner lets in the West, I bid him farewell, and went away. . . .
