"THE IMAI.AX Y.
The GahtTff given two ilhiHt rations this
month, one EngliHU,and very good, illustrative
of Charles Ilende's novel, "Put Yimrnelf In
His rlftce," and One American, and very bad,
by Winslow Homer, ilhiHtrating Mrs. Ed
wards' novel of "Susan Fielding."
We take the following from .Mr. Justin
McCarthy's paper entitled "The Real Napo
leon:" "Within the pact twelve months, tho genuine
character oi Louis Napoleon has displayed itself,
itrikini?lv, nakedly, In his policy, llo has tried,
in succession, mild liberalism, severe despotism,
reactionary conservatism, antique Ca'sarlsm,
nd then, In an apologetic, contrlto sort of way,
liberalism of a rather pronounced character.
Every time that he tried any new policy ho was
secretly Intriguing with some other, and making
ready for the possible necessity of having to
abandon tho former and take up with tho
latter. He was like the lady In "Lo Diablo
Boitcux," who, while openly coquetting with tho
young lover, silly gives her hand behind her
lack to the old admirer. So far as tho public
could judge, Louis. Napoleou has. for many
mouths back, been absolutely without any
settled policy whatever. Uo has been waltiug
lor a wind. Such a course is probably tho safest
a man In his position can take; but one who, at
great crisis, cannot origiuato aud Initiate a
policy, will not bo remembered among tho graud
rulers of tho world. J do not remember any
greater evidence given In our time of absolute
incapacity to seize a plan of action and decide
upon it, than was shown by the Emperor of tho
French during the crisis ot June aud July. 80

course of the Government, that many who de
test Louis Napoleon, but make it an article of
faith that ho is a sort of all-scc-ing.
omnipotent spirit of darkness,
were forced to adopt a theory that the
riots iu Paris and the provinces were deliberately
got up by the police agents of the empire, for
the purpose of frightening the bo irgeois class
nut of any possible hankering after democracy.
No doubt this Idea was widely spread and
eagerly accepted In Paris; and tuere were many
circumstances which seemed to justify It. But
1 do not believe in any such Imperial stage
play. I fancy the riots surprised the Govern
ment, first, by their sudden outburst, aud next,
by their sudden collapse. Probably tho Impe
rial authorities were very gla'd when tho
disturbances began. They gave an
excuse for harsh conduct, and thev seemed,
for the time, to put the Government iu tho right.
They restored Louis Napoleon at that moment,
in the eyes of timid people, to that position, as
a supreme maintainor of order, which for some
years he had not had an opportunity effectively
to occupy. But the obvious want of stamina in
the disturbing force soon took away from the
Imperial authorities this opportune prestige, and
very little political capital was secured lor Im
perialism out of tho abortive barricades, and in
coherent brickbats, and effusive chantings of the
"Marseillaise." In truth, no one had anything
else to offer just then in place of the Empire.
The little crisis was no test whatever of the
Emperor's hold over his people, or of his power
to deal with a popular revolution. To me it
Eecms doubtful whether the elections brought
out for certain any fact with which tho world
might not already have been well acquainted,
except the bare fact that Orlcauism has hardly
any more of vitality "in it than Legitimacy.
Rochefort, ond not Prevost Paradol, is the typi
cal figure of the situation.
The popularity and tho success of Rochefort
and his paper are remarkable phenomena, but
only remarkable in the old-fashioned manner of
the straws wnicu suow now me wina mows.
Rochefort's success is due to the fact that he had
the good fortune to begin ridiculing the empire

spreading over France that tho empire of late
had been making itself ridtcujous. Louis Napo
leon had reaching the turning-point of his career
had reached and passed it. The country saw
now all that he could do. The bag of tricks was
played out. Tho anticlimax was reached at last.
7he culiBca,'the crisis, tho turning-point of
Louis Napolcoa'S Career' seeiiis to hie to have
been attained when, just before the outbreak of
the Schleswig-IIolstcin war so small a war In
Itself, so fateful aud gigantic in its results he
appealed to the Emperors and Kings of Europe,
and proposed that tho nations should hold a
conference to settle, once and forever, all pend
ing disputes. I think tho attitude of Louis Na
poleon at that moment was dignified, command
ing, imperial. His peculiar style, forcible,
weighty, measured I have heard it well de
Bcriucd as a "monumental" style came out with
great effect in the language of appeal. There
was dignity and grace, there was what Edmund
Burke so appropriately terms "a proud hu
mility," in Louis Napoleon's allusion to his own
personal experience in the school of exilo and
adversity as an excuse for his presuming to offer
advice to the sovereigns of Europe. One was
reminded of Henry 01 Navarre's all usiou to tho
wind 01 adversity wnicu, mowing so long upon
his face, had prematurely blanched his hair. I
do not wonder that the proposed Congress never
met. I do not wonder that European Govern
ments put it asidor-sonic with courteous phrase
and feigned, willingness to accept the scheme,
like Kussia and Austria; some with cold and
brusque rejection, like England. Nothing
worth trying for could have come of the Con
gress. Events were brooding of which Franco
and England knew nothing, and which could
not have been exorcised away by any resolu
tions of a conclave of diplomatists.
But that was, I think, tho last
occasion when Louis Napoleon held any
thing like a commanding, overruling position
iu European affairs, and even then it was but a
fcemblauce. After that camo only humiliations
and reverses. In a diplomatic sense, nothing
could be. more complete thin tho checkmate
which tho Emperor of tho French drew upon
himself by the sheer blundering of his conduct
with regard to Prussia. He succeeded In plac
ing himself before tho world in tho distinct atti
tude of an enemy to Prussia; and no soouer had '
he, by assuming this attitude, forced Prussia to
take a defiant tone, than he suddenly sank down
into quietude. Ho had bullied to no purpose;
he" had to undergo the humiliation of see
ing Prussia rise in public estimation, uy.means
of the triumph which his unnecessary and uncalled-for
hostility had enabled her to win. In
fact, he was outgeneralled by his pupil Bismai-k,
even more signally than ho had previously
been outgeneralled by his former pupil, Cavour.
More disastrous and ghastly, by far, was tho
failure of his Mexican policy. That policy
began in falsehood and treachery, and ended
as it deserved. Poetic and dramatic justice
was fearfully rendered. Never did Philip II,
of Spain, "never did his father, never did
Napoleon I, never did Mendez Pinto, or any
other celebrated liar, exceed the deliberate
monstrosity of the falsehoods which were told
bv Louis Nanoleou or Louis Napoleon's Miulsters
at his order, to conceal, during tho earlier stagcB
of the Mexican Intervention, the fact that the
French Emneror had a protege in the back
vround. who was to be seated on a Mexican
throne. The world is not much affected by
perfidy iu sovereigns. It laughs at tho perjuries
of princes as Jove does at those of lovers. But
it could not overlook tho appalling significance
f T.onIs Napoleon's defeat in that disastrous
chanter of his history. Wisdom after the event
i work: hut many, many voices had told
Louis Napoleon baforehand what would come
of his Mexican policy. Nqt to speak of the hiuts
and advice he received from the United States,

Marshal O'Donnell, then Prime Mlnleter

of thn MftvW'an fivtiedltion: fcv Prince Napoleon,
by many others that neither the character of
tho Mexican people nor the proximity of the
United States would allow a French proconsu
late to be established in Mexico under the name
of an Empire. It is a certain fact that Louis
Napoleon frequently declared that the fouuda
t'n of that Empire would be the great event of
I'tifti.. ILij ciU'wi-i-ui'y uclA.iJ mi'
talned a hold over his mind long affr it had be
come apparcntto all the world that the wretched
bubble was actually bursting. The catastrophe
was very near when Louis Napoleon, In conver
sation with au English political adventurer, who
then was ft member of Parliament, assured him
that, however the situation might then look
dark, history would yet have to record that he,
J-ouis Napoleon, had established a Mexican
J'.mpirc. Tho English member of Parliament,
although ordinarily a very shrewd and skeptical
port of person, was nctnally so impressed with
tne carncfctnesH of his Imperial interlocutor that
ho returned to London and wrote a pamphlet, iu
which, to the utter amazement of his acquain
tances, he Lacked the Empire of Mexico for a
secure existence, and said to it exto perprtua.
J he pamphlet was hardly in circulation when the
collapse came. If Louis Napoleon ever believed in
anytblng.he believed In the Mexican Empire. He
believed, too, in tho certain success of the South
ern Confederation. No Belgravlan Dundreary,
no ezato e Georgian girl, could have been moro
completely taken by surprise when tho collapse
of that enterprise camo than was tho Emperor
Napoleon III, whose boundless foresight and
profound sagacity wo had all for years been ap
plauding to tho echo. "That which is called
foresight and sagacity in a King," said Ers
kinc, is called obstinacy in n donkey." That
which Is called foresight and sagacity in
an Emperor, Is often what wo call
blindness and blundering in a news
paper correspondent. Tho question Is whether
we can point to any great event, any political
enterprise, subsequent to his successful assump
tion of the Imperial crown, in regard to which
Napoleon III, if called upon to act or to judge,
did not show tho tamo aptitude for rash judg
ments nnd unwise actions? Certainly no o-rcat
thing with which he has had to do came out In
the result with anything liko the shapo ho
meant it to have. The Italian Confedera
tion, with tho Popo at the head of it; tho
Germolsy irrevocably divided bv tho lino of
the Main; tho Mexican empire; the "rectifica
tion" of frontier on tho Rhine; tho acqui
sition of Luxembourg: these arc some of the
great Napoleonic Ideas, by the success or failure
of which we may fairly judge of tho wisdom of
their author. At homo ho has simply had a
new form of government every year. How
many different ways of dealing with tho press,
how many different schemes for adjusting tho
powers of tho several branches of legislation,
have been maguiloqueiitly annouueed and floated
during tho last low years, each in turn to
fall ratner more dismally than its prede
cessor? Now, it seems, we are to have at
last something like that ministerial responsi
bility which tho Imperial lips themselves have
so often described as utterly opposed to th3
genius of Franco. Assuredly It shows great
mental flexibility to bo able thus quickly to
change one's policy iu obedience to a warning
from without. It Is a far better quality than the
persistent treachery of a Charles I, or tho stupid
doggedncss of a George III. Hut unless it bo a
characteristic of great statesmanship to bo
almost alwa-ys out in one's calculations, wrong
in one's predictions, aud mistaken in one's meii,
the Emperor has for years been in the habit of
doing tilings which are directly Incompatible
with the character 01 a great statesman.
Tho Gili.ry MisceUnni gives the following
interesting account of tho Countess Guic
cioli: At this time, when one of our most eloquent
writers is advocating the cause of Lady Byron,
and bespeaks the sympathy of all in her behalf,
a few facts relating to tho Countess Gulccioll
mov not be uninteresting to tho public.
Teresa Gamba was the daughter of a noble
man of ancient family but moderate means, in
Ravenna, a city of tho liouiau States; she was
one of ten children. Placed in a convent, of
which her aunt was Abbess, until the ago of
nine, she was then removed to the establishment
of Santa Chiara at Facnza, kept by a lady of
scientific acquirements and couductcd on tho
most liberal principles as regarded study so
much so that after a few years it was suppressed.
Italian literature iu particular was studied pro
foundly. It is probable that tho early bias given
to her mind for her native literature was the
cause of her inducing Lord Byron to write "Tho
Prophecy of Dante," the dedication of which is
as follows:
'Lady I If f( r cold ond cloudy clime
WHere I was born, but whore I would not die,
Of the prreat poet-sire of Italy
I dare to build the Imitative rhyme,
llaiu Kunlo copy of tho SoutU's sublime,
Thou art the cause ; and, howsoever I
Fall short of his Immortal harmony,
Thy gentle heart will pardon me the crime.
Then, In the pride of letuty and of youtn,
Spakest ; aud lor thee to speak and bo ooey'd
Are one; Imt only In the sunny South
Such sounds are utter'd, aim such charms displayed,
So sweet a language from so fair a mouth
Ah 1 to what ell'ort would it not persua le?
Teresa remained at Faeuza until tho ago of
fifteen: her cousin, tho yountr Marquis Cavalli,
seeing her then for the first time, declared that
he would have no other wife: his father, fearing
that the young man would not be denied, sent
him off to travel, and threw the whole weight of
his influence in favor of a suitor who had just
presented himself as a candidate for the liana of
luo young, portionless icresa, a Venetian noble
man of fine presence, great wealth, and cour
teous address, the Count Guiccloli. Although a
widower of fifty-five, he was still sufficiently
attractive to win many a iuir one. Disreputable
stories had been whispered about hhn, it is true;
his first wife, a great heiress, but no beauty, had
been neglected, ana ny tnis neglect nail seen led
to seek elsewhere for the affection which sho
did not find at home; she was banished to a far
off castlo and her place filled by a woman with
whom he lived in opcu adultery until the decease
of his Countess, when ho married her: sho was
now dead, and hoping to have an heir, his choice
fell upon tlio young xercsa.
Taken trom Her uourcuug scuooi, sue was tout
that Couut Guiccloli was to be her husband
UDon remarking that ho seemed too old for her,
her mother told her that there was more chance
for hanniuess with a man of that ago than a
munircr ono. anu 11 sue were 10 marry u rain
lersclf. she would select him. The youn
irirl thoutrht that if her mother would
act likewise, all must be right; aud
sho was led to tho altar, an Indifferent if not an
unwillimr bride. 1 he newly-married couple
went immediately to Venice, and tho next night
alter her arrival they went an evening at tho
Countess Benzonl s. xne uriac, just emergen
from girlhood, was far too timid to look around
at tho assembled company, and as some of tho
nartv iidiourncd to look at a statu3 by Canova,
a gentleman who stood near tho youthful
countess ottered his arm to conduct her Into tho
next room. V ho It was she did not know, nor
did t-ho once raise hur eyes to look at him
Upon her return home, her husband asked her
what sho thought of tho youug English lord,
who was, moreover, tho great poet ot tho day
"I did not see him," was her naive answer.
How little felt those two.as they unconsciously
stepped from ono room to another, arm in arm
that evening, that both had then met their des
tiny 1 Eight moctlis after they met again, and
again it was In poetical, dreamy Venice. Count
Guiccloll was a mau who desired tho constant
excitement of society, and his yonug wifo was
obliged perforce to accompany him, althoti
sho had but little taste for largo assemblages. It,
was an evening when at a friend's, tho Countess
Abrlzzl's,' there was to be a social reunion after
the opera; the girlish countess had begged hard
to be excused from-attending; sho even shed
tears at being obliged to yield. Did some mys
terious power whisper in her ear that that niirht
she would become acqualntedgwith one who
would influence her entiro existence ? Unit from
that night, in every clime, by every people who
wouia oe euiiani-eu uy mo witcliery of that
poet's pen, her name would bo mingled iu
senarablv with his memory, aud that Imr 1
woulu live in that saddened heart, till it throbbed
its last In that Greece for which he bo nobly gave
his life. f -v .
As sho entered the room, ler eye fell upon a
cwntlnmiin ulin unt uTtart ennvf,nAfw with an
' 4 T - ' . l.U ....
English friend (8eott), and sho hasMohl me that
she felt an electric thrill as she looked npon
him, for the stranger seem to hor as a being of
another sphere. "Never, 1 have heard her ex
claim, "did 1 see a beauty so perfect as Lord
. Jiv row's ! I Uioi'itj Uia Uiut rsrlis It w3 xny
want of acquaintance with the world that made
mo think him so charming, but I have sioco seen
men of every rank and clime, I have compared
nil. and 1 have never seen his equal 1"
But to return to our salon at the Countess
Abrlzzl's. There were but few present, and the
hostess begged Lord Byron to allow her to pre
sent him to the folr young countess. He play
fully but rcjioatedly refused; but at length tho
urgency of the lady, joined to tho entreaties of
bis friend Scott, prevailed. When Count Guic
cloll came to lead his wife to her carriage, Byron
was still at her f-ldc, nnd Tereea Guiccloli was
awakening to all tho intoxicating and delicious
sensations of first lave.
She must at this time have been eminently
beautiful; rather below than above middle
height, fully but exquisitely formed, a com
plexion of dazzling whiteness, featnrcs of fault
less regularity, hair of that golden tint Titian
so loved to paint floating in luxuriant masses
about her dimpled shoulders, and n childlike
smllo displaying teeth of the greatest beauty
and regularity; add to this the gavest and most
amiable of tempers, joined to a highly cultivated
mind, and who can wonder that Byron, driven
from his own hearth-stone, nnd forbidden the
sight of his dearly-cherished child, should have
become enthralled, and thnt tho young countess,
unlearned in the ways of tho world, tho ac
quaintance of the young Englishman encouraged
to tho utmost by her husband, should have
learned to look with eager interest for tho
presence of him who, when he chose,
could cxcrclso a personal fascination few
could resist ? Timo passed on, and Count
Guiceioll returned to Ravenna, where ho had
largo possessions. Of course, his young countess
accompanied him, but not tho same gay, light
hearted being as before. Tho passionate lovo
that is so easily nurtured under an Italian sky
filled every fibre of her being, and without the
society of Byron, to which sho had been daily
accustomed in Venice, sho drooped aud fell ill.
Byron, whoso unhappy experience in all matters
pertaining to love made him fearful of entirely
j ielding to the influence of this passion, at last
resolved to let his heart alone bo master, and
started for Ravenna; tho fair eountess revived,
nnd many happy hours were spent by them, for
tho Count courted his society, and public
opinion in Italy was very lenient to that
kind of liaison. But Teresa's 6oul was too
undivided in her love for Byron to allow even a
fcmblance of wearing another yoke, and sho
prevailed upon her relations to intercede with
Pope l'ius II, and obtained a separation from
her husband, w hich was tho nearest approach to
a divorce the Church permitted. From that hour,
until his departure for Greece on his heroic but
ill-fated expedition, his lovo never wavered.
After his death, a locket containing a long, glossy
curl, with their united Initials, attached to a
heavy hair chain, also woven from her lovely
tresses, was found round his neck, and concealed
next to his person.
Of Byron's faithful lovo for tho Countess
Guiccloll few would doubt, could they read,
as I have done, every line he ever
wrote to her, even the most trilling
note, from tho timo he first met her in
Venice until tho last words penned at
.Missolongul. a lew days before his death.
It seems as if ho had at length found
a haven of rest after his buffeting with the world.
iter great desire to loam English was always com
bated by bim, for love in that tongue brought
too many bitter recollections: he wrote Italian
with all the beauty and fire of Petrarch and
Tnsso.
Moore came to spend a last evening before his
cturn to England. Byron wont to his room.
nnd being absent some little time, the Countess
went to see what kept him; she met him on tho
landing with a Lag full of papers, and with a
radiant face ho said to her:
Here is what will justify me before tho
world ! Moore will take them to England with
him, and w hen I die, I shall be known as I really
was."
Tho bag contained his autobiography, which
Moore allowed, in so cowardly a manner, to bo
destroyed. Iho Uountess 1 never ceased regret
ting that she had not understood English at that
tune, that sue might, at least to a degree, xiavo
replaced thGin by memory.
Ihe news of his death gave her a shock from
which she did not recover for years; she refused
to accept the ten thousand pounds left to her by
Jiyrou in his will, and mourned long and deeply
for him. After a while she visited England.
where she was made much of by the literary
circle 01 x.acty iwssinion arm x,tuiy .uorgau,
then the pleaSantest in London. She finally
settled quietly in Paris, and in 1S40 Couut Guic-
cioii died, leaving her an income 01 thirty tuou
sand francs a year.
la 1M7 she married the Marquis dc Boissy, a
widower, a peer of France under Louis Philippe
aud a Senator under tho Empire, although be
longing to one of the old Legitimist families,
and his only daughter married to the Prince do
Leon, heir to the dukedom of Rohan. He was
very wealthy, but very eccentric: they, however.
lived together harmoniously until his death in
JfctlO.
As a woman, tho Murauisc do Boissv is still
charming and lovable, and one of the most
quietly-erudite women in Europe. Time has
touched her with a gentle hand, and ono easily
