Nge,WMECE, FRENCH EITPEROR„*NTEErr TAINK:IIIS . 'Ari Imperial Dinner and Its A correspondent of the i.V. 0. Picayune writes` from - Paris a description of a _. dinner at Napoleon's palace at Compi egne. Heillildes to the Einperor and , .Empress taking their places and says: After they,re seated, the Otherguests :take their places as they please, without ' 4tanding upon ,order"of etiquette. I except the - eight persons seated on their • MajeSties' right and left. The officers of the imperial household, being at home, leave the best places to their master's -guests and take seats at the extremities of the table. .The guests retain their hats until, they are seated, when a foot man takes those implements and places. them on chairs behind the owners. The dinner table on these occasions contains one hundred guests. There is never any vacant place, as guests are, requested to inform the Adjutant General if they cannot be present. In this way all dis agreeable "breaks" are avoided. There , are at least 110 or 120 servants in attend ance on the table. The Emperor and _Empress are served • by their private footmen; the ushers-and ordinary foot men serve the other guests. There are likewise,in attendance the master comp:. troller, the master of the silver plate,the master carver, the butler, etc.; in :fine, the masters of all the services who superintend the menials in their several departments. These masters all have „rank of gentlemen, and it would fbe extremely ill-bred to . address ,them .without styling them Monsieur. The whole dinner' service., plates as well a 4 `dishes, is of silver plate; the desert , is 'served" on Sevres porcelain, more costly :than silver plate, for every dish and -plate contains a picture or pictures by first, rate artists. The table is dressed .beautifully. In the centre is a "sur ,tout" of silver, which cost $250,000, and ,is an.exact \ copy of the favorite "sur tent" of. Louis X.V. It represents a deer Inint; the meet with the pack of hounds; the whippers in; the huntsmen; the dis; 'covert' of the scent; sight of the - deer; the death; the quarry. The whole series of scenes are executeden the scale .o£ a quarter of an inch to every foot of life size. This surtout is. relieved by crystal baskets, crystal shelves (made of fiat plates of crystal which'are secured in 'kends of three or foul' plates high by a :silver stem runnincY" ' through the centre .of them), crystal basins (like the top basin of a fountain) containing flowers, :the most luscious fruit from the crown hot houses; pineapples, grapes, oranges; lemons, peaches, pears, pomegranates, - apples, rendered still more tempting by artificial moss, and vine leaves ' - holly or orange leaves, and brilliant bonbons; while innumerable silver candelabras shed the soft light of wax tapers over the whole scene—light which sparkles with something of the diamond bril liancy as it dances on the crystal prisms and is colored with the rainbow's hues as it gleams on the silver. Imagine the noble dining room; conceive the dressers on each side of the table, which groan beneath the weight of gold, silver, por celain, glass, fruit, wines, liquors; fancy hundredthe one and twenty people in gaudy livery, who are in attendance on the guests, and the fifty or sixty ladies in full ball dress—then tell me, isn't the scene brilliant? In are enjoining room the band of the Imperial Guard softly plays during the whole dinner, throwing "a lace of harmony, more beautiful than Brussels ever made with its lissom fin gers, over conversation. • Dinner ended,. their Majesties rise. The Emperor gives the Empress his arm at the dining room door, and the whole , `company company returns to the. Maps' Gallery, where coffee is served. The Emperor's half-cup - is served on a gold salver, by the Palace Prefaet of Service. After coffee, their Majesties remain some time in the Maps' Gallery,walking from guest to guest and taking especial no tice of the stranger guests who do not habitually belong to the court circle. In the course of half an hour the Em press tells the gentlemen they are at liberty to go _to the smoking room, and she retires to a drawing room on the left of the .Maps' Gallery. This is called the Family Drawing Room. The door re mains open and any guest may follow her; but it is considered good breeding not to go in there unless especially in vited... She takes care to invite suc cessively, all the guests,_ and in the course of . the evening she 'repeatedly returns to the Maps' Gallery to talk with the persons she does .not invite to the Family Drawing Room. The Fon- Peror remains in the Maps' GallerSr. after the .Empress disappears, or rather he goes into an adjoining room, where are to be „found billiards with pockets ("English billiards," as they are called here; the French tableshave no pockets), Dutch tops, (a table with small pins of , different value,,among which a top spins; the game is .won by the player who knocks down most pins), sliding boards, etc. The Emperor's favorite game is the sliding-board." It is familiar to you What visitor to our Southern medicinal springs hasn't killed time, sliding polished brass circular weights over a sanded table? The arrangement of our table is modified slightly at Com piegne. There the sliding-table is made of highly polished mahogany, some fifteen or twenty feet long; at the furthest extremity is a white point, sur rounded by concentric circles; the con tention of the game is to place most slides or circular weights nearest the white point, and to dislodge so many of the adversary's weights as may be. At Compiegne the weights are made of lead, and their bottom is covered with woolen cloth to prevent them from scratching the table and from : making a noise. Each player has six or eight weights. •The emperor is very skillful at this game; his most formidable ad versary is the Princess Anna Murat. _ If you will remember that dinner is laid on the table at .7 o'clock, and is over scarcely before 9 or a quarter past 9 o clock, you will not be surprised when I say that it is fully 10 o'clock when smokers . quit their cigars and the smoking room, As they return in a body, their re-appearance makes a sen sation and attracts the Empress from the centre-table, near which she is seated in' the family drawing-room, playing, or teaching her lady guests to play draughts,, patience, solitaire, or puzzle-rings, and at'the same time talk int to the gentlemen around her. he evening now fairly , commences, an her Majesty exerts herself to make it agreeable: . -There is chess in the corners of the Maps' Room for guests who like it. - BL - Prosper Merimee, Mar shal V-aillarit and the Duchess de Pas sau° are devoted :to Alibi gable. - - •_There are the games just mentioned in the ' games'' roifins. • There <are I &alights, patience,solitaire, or puzzle-rings in the family rawingsreom. Therear cosey corners almoSt everywhere, for talkers. The Emperor inviteasome eminent gen tleman of the guests to walk up and down the adjoining long gallery talking with him. Then there is almost every evening a dance. As a hired profes sional musician would mar'the - aleasure of these 'familiar eutertaintnente, the Empress has placed in the d 'awing room one of Duban's meehanica pianos. A board, which looks somewha like a wool carder, so covered with l salient wires it it, is introduced into ail apert ture of the piano, and a handle, [Eike the handle of a hand organ, is turned by the gentlemen presentalternatelY. The piano plays in this way anything desired; polkas, mazurkas, I walzes, quadrilles, etc. The Emperor and Em press frequently took part in these dances--they always take part iii them when the guests determine to dance La Boulangere, which is a sort lof Old Virginia Reel, which circles in Many a giddy maze in every drawing-roern and gallery open. This is the Emperor's iavorite dance, and whenever it is danced he comes forward to lead it. Some evenings instead of dances, there are charades played, or tableaux vivants shown on the small stage, built in the drawing-room, on the right of the Maps' Gallery. In this way the evening flies away on velvet wings, and half-past eleven ap pears en the clock incredibly soon. Tea and Sallyi Lund (you know that is half= cake and half-breid? If you don't, refer to Mrs. Randolph% Cookery Book,) are served in the family drawing-room, and conversation now reaches its highest pitch. The Emperor quietly withdraws at twelve o'clock to his study, where he labors until four or five o'clock in the morning. At half-past twelve the Em press' retires. All the company rise. She kindly -wishes good night to those near her, and, whom she passes as she goes to the door on the right i of the family drawing-room. •Beforeassing the door she turns ' and make a pro found courtesy to the company l and re tires,followed by her maids of honor and service. The guests boNV respectfully. The guests are now their own piasters until half-past eleven clock thenext day. Some remain a half-hour or an hour longer in the drawing-room to lend an interesting conversation or a contested game of chess. Cards are contraband of pleasure at Compiegne; the Enweror has given the strictest orders that they are not to be introduced at Compiegne The majority of the guests retire soon after the Emperor's disappearance. The evening of the guests' arrival at Compiegne a servant, or rather the ser vant attached to the guest (he is an usher or a footman) asks the guest what he would have for his "first breakfast." The guest orders tea, coffee or chocolate, and at the hour he appoints, the break test he desires is brought into his cham ber on a silver tray. Etiquettef . 'orbids the guests coming down stairs o going out of doors until after breakfast—the breakfast—which is served at (twelve o'clock M. These morning hours are devoted to the toilette, to discussion of the "first breakfast" (which is com monly eaten by two or three who 1"club" their breakfasts together in the room of one of the number), in visits from room to room. At half-past eleven all the guests assemble in the Maps' Gal lery, the Prefect of Service whispers to two gentlemen, they are to sit on her Majesty's right t i left and to take in such a lady with them, and to two other gen, emen, they are to sit on his Majesty's right or left andto take in that lady to breakfast with them. As the clock strikestwelve theygo into the dining-room, 1 in the order described when I explained the etiquette of dinner. Breakfast I ended, the company returns to the Maps' __&,al lery, as I have • mentioned, and the Em press proposes a ride to Pierreforns, or an excursion into the forest, or shooting, or a "catching the ring." This latter game is played in this way; there are eight or more wooden horses (in the iorm bf hobby horses) on stout straps, which are moved by a man turning a handle. just as merry-go-rounds are turned. These wooden horses move fast. The riders are provided with a small lance, and their ambition is to catch with it !the rings of iron which are placed every six or ten feet on the outward circumference of the ring around which : they describe their circuit. It is seen at almost every village festival throughout France, and is a popular amusement here. Two days of the week (you know each series of guests are invited for a week, they reach Com piegne Wednesday and take their de parture the following Tuesday,) are given; one to a 1 deer hunt, the other to shooting in the preserves. These amuse ments occupy t?.e day until four or five o'clock, whenhe, guests return to the palace and retire to their rooms. At half-past five o'clock the Empress de spatches servants to the rooms of a given number of the guests, to invite them to take - tea in her Majesty's private apart ments. This upsets all your ideas about the order of aliments. Tea before dinner seems to you as monstrous a heresy as soup after dessert. You forget the part tea plays in the French comedy, of ali mentation. They look upon it a , rhubarb in disguise, as Benne in domino; it, is not a beverage; it is a peristaltic persuader. They use it not to titillate the palate, but to rousp the alvine tu greater activity. Now good eating and good drinking take up, so much of life at Compiegne, and the temptations to in dulge both are so irresistible, there is scarcely one of the guests who does not feel it necessary jto invoke the assistance of tea to aid him during this se'ennight when he lives to eat. More than one 91 the guests takes tea when he wakes in the morning; appeals to gunpowder at breakfast; leans on Pekoe at five o'clock, and could not close his eyes in confidence at night , unless ha knew Young,Hyson kept watch and ward. The Empress's tea at five o'clock is the most sociable period or life at Com piegne. A few guests only are invited, for while all the guests are , invited at least once to this , tea, only twelve guests at most are ever invited at any one time: There are, howayer, some guests who have a standinginvitation to this tea. When M. de Sacy (the editor of the Journal des DebatB, who wrote! an elo quent and, touching article on the Em press's visit to the cholera wards of the Paris Hospitals) reached Coniplbgne, i her Majesty said to him: f‘l. w n yeti. Monsieur de Sae'y, that I shall expect you to tnY tea every evening . " Mons. Prosper Merin:lee and Mons. de Saulcy lir have likewise a standing ,invit tion to the Empresa's tea. Their Majesties think them the most brilliinlt and agreeable talkers in France. An Am ALLY INTN BULLETIN , L PRILA,DELPRIA.:WYDNESDAY,;:FEBRULRYI, 1866. FUN, bassador, whenever onei dd s to be founh the series, receives likewise ,au in every day This is the hour of bra: liant conversation. The' cruests come determined to make as good a figure :as possible. The know the audience criti cal an,d disposed to turn •to ridicule'any mistake made (numerous. stories of blunders made' by guests are current)., It is said that when Mons. Merim6e and Mons. de Saulcy meet to gether and take in their hands the con versation (readily relinquished to them by the persons present), the hour passes away brilliantly and the dinner bell rings, when the Empress exclaims, "What, is it already so late? Let us make baste to dress!" Dinner on these occasions is laid on the table a half hour later, to the despair bf the cOoks, who see their masterpieces of skill deteriorate before they are tasted. Mons. Octave Feuillet, poor Mons. Scribe, poor Count Alfred de Vigny were always welcome guests at the Empress's teas. Mons. Feuillet is still a welcome guest there. Mons. Sainte Beuve, Mons. Nisard, Mons. Alex. Dumas, Jr., and Mons. ThCophile Gauthier failed to make an agreeable impression. They were in vited once, but have not since been in vited to share the Imperial hospitalities, It is interesting to note this characteris tic of the Empress. It seems to • show she prefers grace and wit to moremaScu line intellectual qualities. GA2t3tA.
