gni ISCELLE, TIIE WIAILIieSISS SPY.
One of the most entertaining papers in Lip.
pis emits' II agaziste presents the story of one of
the Emperor's familiars and spies:
Griscelti,the hero of it,a young Corsican bravo,
alter duels and escapades w,ithout number, was
arrested at Lyons for an amorous peceadillo,and
placed in prison. This scandal brckught him to
the notice of the Corsican lawyer Abbatucci, who
bad him pardoned and sent him to Paris as a
bully who might be useful, among the band of
Corsicans who were to be employed in the then
approaching coup d' eta I. Employedlirst to spy up
on General Magemn, ;le subsequently exploded a
Bourbon conspiracy against the life of the Prince-
President, and was promoted to a kind of per
sonal guardianship of the latter after his assump
tion of the Empire. His skilful management of
a second assassination-job,—in which a corms
pondent of Mazzini's,named Kelch,sent over with
murderous instructions from England, figures as
the villain,—is told in the following Sensational
anecdote:

rent a telegram In cipher to Napoleon, informing
him that a man named Kele!), iu the pay of %Jaz
aini, was going to Paris in order to assassinate
Cite Emperor. The latter immediately sent for
the Pref. et of Police, communicated the despatch
.ito him, and asked for an intelligent, devoted and
cnergetie agent. M. Pictri remembered his
countryman. and received orders to present him
meat evening during an interval between the acts
at the Opera.
The Prefect lost no time in informing Grlscelli
of his recommendation and the Emperor's orders.
The secret agent was delighted, but suddenly he
was seised with a kind of vertigo, such as he
.bad experienced more than once during a duel;
and upon the Prefect's asking him why he
,toured so deadly pale, he could only answer that

'.came to the• door and passed the Empress, he
asked one of the officers onduty, "Who is :that
fivlth.the prefect?" and when he was told that it
was a Corsican; he added: "Oh, then he has no
doubt a stiletto," and all laughed heartily ut the

Ifirlecelli and said:

out, toward two o'clock, in, the Bois do Bou

Titus coded the first interview with the Empe
ror, which entisequentlyled to a strange kind of
Intimacy between the master and the servant.
At the end of •the Opera the prefect and the agent
followed the Emperor to the Tailerles,
where they settled the money question, and then
they went to the place where the police records
of all suspicions people were kept. To mask the
proceedings, the prefect pretended that it was in
ebntemplation to pardon Ketch, who had pre
viously already been engaged in a desperate. con
*limey. When the chief clerk in the office heard
Ude, he exclaimed: "Pardon Ketch! Why, he is
the most desperate man I know:' When he was

THE BPI'S PLOT..
At six o'clock on the following morning, Gris
celli was standing hi front of the restaurant, al
though it was ono of the coldest days of Decem
ber. An hour later, a pretty 'girl came down,
called a cammissionnalre and gave him a letter to
deliVer In person : Not'a word was last, and the
secret agent followed • the messenger, who went
through the whole of Thais, and , did not stop till
he reachedihe - village of Jdonilmontant. - He rang
the bell at a modest-looking house, and a man,

and said, "Thank your lam coining' at once. I

ately afterward, Ketch came out, took a cab

Vangirard. Oriscelli had 'followed him cloSely,
and ESW bow the whPle , family - came running
down, embraced Kelch and took him hastily into
the house. Two ,hours .later, however,
the whole party catne, , out. , once, more
and went to the restaurant, , where
they cajoled, themselves •at table, the young lady
being the soul of the whole feast. biriscelli sat
in an adjoining tOom, vitkere he could_heat every,
word, and ate his 'Modest cutlet. Ateftheir late
breakfast they--:went to a livery utable,ivhere
Ketch hired,a magnificent horse, which he seemed
to know at least by its name, and, when he
parted with his friends, he said, in the hearing of
Griscelli:
"Napoleon's police are too stupid, to find me
out. They think lam fast asleep in London, '1
need not go and hide myself: I will come and
sleep at the house. Do not be afraid: I'll come
to-night."
Poor Reich ! be did not know that his boastful
words wdre all overheard by one of
Napoleon's police agents, who did not intend to
lose sight of him v and with whom he was ore
long to have a most unpleasant interview. , The
secret agent was all the more determined to suc
ceed in tiiiiiiiifiii - aftehid - h - ad another attaek
of vertigo while eating his chop at the restaurant,
and firmly believed, on this account, that this
was a matter of life and death for himself as well
as for Keich.
THE "ATTENTAT."
Precisely at two o'clock, Louis Napoleon, ac
companied only by two alms on dnty,appeared
on the public square, coming from the Tuileries.
Belch, who was then on the bridge near the pal
ace, dashed _up at , full gallop. The secret
agent, well mounted from the, Imperial
stables, was close behind him, the head of his
horse nearly touching the saddle of the assassin,
as the Emperor came by. In his left hand he
had gathered the - reins—with his right hand he
grasped firmly - the stiletto in his bosom. Bat
Ketch allowtd his intended victim to pass quietly
and made no movement. He was not to die so
publicly
LOUIS NAPOLEON'S RACE FOR LIFE
AR 60011 as the Emperor had passed the two
men, whom be recognized perfec , ly, he gave his
horse the rains and rode at full speed to the great
lake in the Bois de Boulogne...He was followed
by perhaps thirty persons; but, wishing to rid
himself of the crowd of curious people who
stared at him everywhere, be once
more started at a tremendous rate,
so that hardly any one could follow, and returned
to the Tuileries. Kelch had left him some time
before, and returned to the house of his friends , .
The same scene was almost daily repeated for a
fortnight, during which poor Kelch was not per
mitted to be one moment out of sight. The secret
wet, itltowed him on foot and on horseback
wherever he went, often dining at the same table
with him or seated by his side at the theatre; and
yet so lull was the unfortunate man of his °On
great purpose that he never noticed how he was
watched and followed.
The Emperor had repeatedly sent for Griseelli,
au! One day, when the latter was making his re
port, the Prefect of Police entered with a letter,
in welch Kcieh informed Mazzini that the Empe
ror would not survive two days longer. He In
sisted unon being authorised to arrest the would
be murcerer on the spot: but LOUIS Napoleon
bed his own plang,,nnd ordered the secret agent
to ark for a particular t wee. and to be on duty
at two o'clock for the usual ride of the Emperor.
All the persons most interested in the con
spiracy were at the same hour again on the Place
de la Concorde—the Emperor, followed by a
single adjutant; lielch, in high top-boots, with a
green overcoat, under which be had some
thing concealed ; and Griscelli, in plain
costume. As soon as Ketch perceived
Napoleon, be galloped up toward him;
the Emperor thereupon started at full speed, and
the secret agent had only time to whisper to the
jockeys to keep close to their master, and then
to loilow as well as he could. When the party
reached the Bois do. Boulogne, there began a rog
ulur lace at a fearful pace: low walls, hedges;
brooks, all were passed, they hardly knew how,
and thegeod Parisians who saw them lly by
like a vision said the Emperor was either drunk
01 read.
He was neither the ono nor the other; he was
only afraid for his life. After a race of three
hours they returned the same way they had come;
the horses were white with foam, and the secret
agent understood why he had been or
dered to select a particular horse. When they
came near the Tuileries, Ketch was forced to re
main behind; in spite of all be could do with
spur and whip, his horse was unable to go any
further; be was completely broken down. This
suggested to Griscelli a bold thought: he made a
great effort, rode past the. Emperor and cried
aloud: "Hurrah for the Napoleons! The assassin
Is beat( r!"
The Emperor looked behind him,and seeing the
poor wretch in nis sad plight, rode on slowly,or
dering tbe agent to follow him to the palace.
When be entered his rooms, Napoleon, stilt per .
violently, threw himself in a chair and then
drew nom a secret drawer five thousand francs,
which he gave to Griscelli, with the words: "40
and rest: we shall want you again. Bend me
Piea•t"
OF ?HE ASSASSIN
The secret agent,had not rested an hour whoa
he was waked by the Prefect of Police, who di
reeled him to come to his house at midnight.
When he appeared there, be found, to his sur
prise, forty men waiting, who were to help
in arresting Ketch. Atter a long discussion, he
agreed to take three of _them, whom he carefully.
picked from the number; and after having re
ceived a written order, explicitly commanding
him to bring the assassin dead or alive, he started
on hie dangerous errand.
They went at one to the restaurant, where
Ketch was in_the habit of dropping in several
times a day; and ordered a dinner forsix persons.
At six o'clock precisely, on a second Friday, a
certain Morelli entered, who had just crossed
over from London in order to help Ketch, and
asked when the latter was likely to come in.
They told him at nine o'clock; and when the hour
struck, Ketch arrived. While he was drinking a
glass of.absinthe, one of the men was ordered to
arrest. Morelli; and when this v 4 as done quietly_ in
an adjoining room, Griscelli and another °Meer
fell npon Ketch. The latter, however, escaped
by a gigantic effort, ran swiftly through the
dining-room and several chambers, jumped out
of the, window and fell inside of a little
mart-yard, from which a door led into
the street. If that gate had boon open,
the whole work of the fortnight would have
been lost, the murderer would have escaped, and
Louis Napoleon might,not have lived to see his
dynasty established. But Griscelli drew courage
once more (mail& fatalistic belief that Friday
brought ill-luck r to his victim, and that his two
attache of vertigo foretold the shedding 'Of blood.

which the gravest Intentions could pat • upon
them would hold them In hand. Thus the scene.
Some seventy passengers assembled at the saloon

heavily. Pause. NO Minister. Rumor has re

down a long table,and aiming itself at the breasts

this time the congregation have been breaking up

is,—each sect sliding away by itself, and all
peundhlg the weakest sect which slid first into the
corner. Utmost point of dissent soon attained
in every corner, and violent rolling Stewards at

There was another Sunday, when an officer of
the ship read the service. It was quiet and im
pressive, until we fell upon the dangerous and
perfectly unnecessary experiment of striking up
a hymn. After it was given out, we all rose, but
everybody left it to somebody else to begin. Si
lence resulting, the officer (no singer himself)
rather reproachfully gave us the first line again,
upon which a rosy pippin of an old gentleman,
remarkable throughout the passage for his cheer
ful politeness, gave a little stamp with his boot
(to , ii he were leading off a country dance,) and
blithely warbled us into a show of joining. At
the end of the first verse we became, through
these tactics, so much refreshed and encouraged,
that lit no of us, howsoever unmelodions, would
submit to be left out of the second verse; while
as to the third we lifted up our voices in a sacred
howl that left it doubtful whether we were the
more'boastful of the sentiments we united in pro
fessing, or of professing them with a most dis
cordant defiance of time and tune.

wrote diet & letters which appeared in the New

A Reminiscence ot Edgar A. Poe.
A correspondent of the Boston Journal
writes:
"In those good old days, a quarter.of a cen
tury ago, when the lyeeum was in its infancy
and popular lectures were coming into general
favor as a means of instruction and recrea
tion during the winter solstice, , we happened
to be connected with an institution of that
kind in this city. It also happened that, a
little prior to this, the Mercantile Library As
sociation had been formed among the young
men of the city for' mutual improvementy
which at first confined , its operations to de
bates and occasional lectures by its members,
but at length, so great had been
its success during the brief , period
of its existence, its 'field became
-extended, and its course embraced • some of
the best talent;of the country. The sudden
riseand ,prosperity_ or this. new association
naturally provoked a more zealous competi
tion on the part of the managers . ;:of
,the Ly
•eeum, and the two or three months preced
ing the opening of the lecture season were,
therefore,devoted to a more than usual active
canvass for -the best leeturera and the most
' attractive subjects. By an application and
good address in , the subsequent negotiations,
the Lyceum was fortubate enough to secure,
for the season of which we are writing, Mr.
Emerson's. six lectures' on Representative
Ken.
* * * "We took the precaution of writ
ing Mr. Poe, two or;three days_ beforehand,
designating the,evening for his 'performance,
and what was then the Pavilion 'Hotel, - in
Boston, as the place where we would meet
him for the purpose of presenting• him to his
audience. The of lectures had been
largely advertised, and Mr. Poe's name set
4 up in big capitals,as the poet of the occasion,
and as a consequence the literati of the city
were on the . qui vive for his appearance. At
six o'clock on the opening night we called at
the Pavilion, and inquired if Mr. Poe had ar
rived. 'There he sits,' the clerk replied,
pointing to a gentleman occupying e t settee

much of the gusto with which the poem that

he had laid the last hair npon the Camel's

superincumbent weight of his prose. Nor
was the poem a whit better than. the' essay.
The latter had the advantage of being clear

Fourier B. W. Ewers on and Henry
James.
The following , letter' Henry
James appears in, the Springfield (Mass.) Re
puolican B oston
"I find In the Commonwealth the
following extract from a letter of--your lively
correspondent'' Warrington'
"'The Brook Farm Mcture was also, so
they say, very , pleasing. Henry James,
somebody says; 'is very mad about Emer
son's criticism on Fourier; he says Emerson
knows nothing about Fourier, and has con - -
teased to him that he never read his works,
but only knows of them from extracts which
Mrs. Emerson read to him while he was
shaving." '
"There are three statements in this brief
compass attributed to me, only one of which
is reasonably Arne." By way of preface let
me say that I was not 'very mad , ' whatever
that choice epithet may mean. 'at Mr. Bann-
son's criticism on Fourier;' but I was verb
much shocked and chagrined at the mono h
misrepresentation Mr. Emerson gave
of Fourier's lxtoks,when he represented them
as inculcating self-indulgence upon men, in
place of self-control; and this quite as much
or more on Mr. Emerson's account than
Fourier's, who can afford to endura any
amount of obliquy for any number
of years to come since his fame
will only be enhanced by it , in the end.
It is true that Fourier alleges twelve cardi
nal 'passions' or attractions of the soul; which
habitually lead men to act, and upon - the har
monic play of which—as guarantied'exclu
sively by a perfect society or brotherhood
among men—our natural sanity both of ,mind
and body is contingent. But Mr. Emerson,
having no acquaintance with Fourier at • first
hand, evidently ;conceived that he could only
use the word 'passion' in the dirty conven
tional sense of 'lust,' and hence that his pre
tension to organize the fundamental 'passions
of the soul' in a unitery manner, amounted in
fact to giving 'the lusts of the body' even a
looser rein than they have hitherto challenged.
This, I repeat,. was very painful to` me, not
because I thought any special damage would
ensue . from the mistake to Founier," w,ho
bides his time as infallibly as the spring now
buried in winter's embrace, but because of
my h earty love and esteem for Emerson,
which are wounded by seeing him fall so
unwittingly into, vulgar,• and. Nary vulgar,
errors. He himself 1$ still thought by many
half-witted people in Church and State to
counsel a
_, dangerous , degree, of self-conceit,
and intellectual license generally, to callow.
youth: Well, his own books, I venture to
say, supply fifty plausible pretexts tot. "this
flippant injustice done to himself, where
Fourier's books would supply one for the far
grosser injustice done to him. ,
'While.it is true, then, that I complain of
Emerson's incompetence to criticise Fourier
on his present basis of knowledge, and to no
one more frankly than to Emerson himself,
the other two'statementa attributed to me to
the effect that Mr. Emerson had told' me thus
and so in regard to Fitt:trier and the measure
of his acquaintance with him,are a simple but
perfect untruth, as I never,made_ nor hinted
either of them.
- "In conclusion, Mr: Editor,alloW me to say
that while I have , no right to claim immunity
from that witless rage of gossip which seems
to be 'organizing • the. , correspondence of so
many of our papera,tmd which,like the Hoe of
Egypt,inyades every secret chamber of men's
personal consciousness• hitherto held sacred
from r•ublic intrusion,l. have at least the right
to exact that the 'somebodies' who report my
private conversations for publication send me
a proof of the !natter reported for my,pre
vions correction: I am, Mr: Editor, very re
spectfully yours, • ..Raitny JAMES.
