to arouse her. At. this most critical

the 'd?lib?rations of the Assembly, aqd
pointing in the direction of the Corps
L?gislatif, she .requested that the Mm
inters might at-Piree be informed of
the indignities to which site was.exposed
The embarrassment aud anguish of those
who surrounded her at this moment, I
am assured, was fearful.
"1 have como," said M. de Lesseps,
"not to risk your Majesty's safety by
ar?'appeal to men who 'cannot -provide
for their own, but to ask you to confide1
in me."
' But tho Assembly ?" said ono of the
ladies who seemed to share the Empress'
delusion.
'?The Assembly, Madame,'' replied M.
de Lesseps, not without a touch of that
irony which never quite abandons ? ?

circumstances, "ts at this moment the

The Empress rose, motioned to one
of the ladies for her bonnet and gloves
und for a Short walking jacket
which were held in readitiess for her,
and turning to M de Lesseps with a
mournful smile on ber features she said
quietly, "Which wny ?"
M. do Lesseps walked out of the apart?
ments with a hasty step,,, followed by
the Em pi ess and tho three ladies, and
traversed the large hall in which the
ceremony of opening the Legislature has
'hitherto been performed, he made his
way to tho famous long gallory of the
Louvre, which runs parallel with the
river side of tho building, and turned
the handle of a door at the further end

It was a fearfully anxious moment.
Thc very custodians of the Louvre, had
deserted their post, and there was no
messenger within hail. Tho shouts grew
louder and louder as the crowd, ap?

Tho Empress still maintained an at
titude of passive courage I ara told
that she did not betray the slightest
sign of agitation until sho pointed, with
a hasty gesture,, at one of tho ^fopng

' Tho Empress reaohed the house tn
the Boulevard Malesherbes in safety and
Without attracting any further attention.
In the everting; still1 within ' the safe
shelter of ? haok?ey coach, she waa con?
ducted to the Northwestern . station in
the.r/laoe du Havre, and early the next
day ehe wau at the pretty, and, thanks
to the laten sss of the season, the al?
mos', deserted, bathing plaoe of Dean
ville, oo the Northern coast, where she
rcniained incognito in the shelter of a
second rate hotel, while M. do Lesseps
went out to make the necessary arrange
meats for her embarkation.
Meanwhile the Empress was a- prey
to the keenest anxiety about the Prince
Imperial, who had left the country some
lew day* before. His destination was
koown, but whether he had roaohed that
destination was as yet a secret. In point
of fact, on the Monday evening, while
. M.. de . Lesseps was engaged in the
scorch for a vessel at Deauville, the
Prince was alighting from an omnibus
at the door.of tho. Hotel de la Couronne
at Mons, whence the gentlemen who
accompanied him at once communicated
by a telegraph, through tho intermedi?
ary of a trusted iriend at Paris, with M.
Lesseps and tho Empress. The result
was that the son was directed to pro?
ceed at once to Hastings, whero he ar?
rived via Ostend and Dover on tho
following Tuesday, Owing to some
misunderstanding, however, in the
arrangements, the Empress had no
communication with her son after Mon?
day evening until, the moment of her
subsequent meeting with him in Eng?
land. *
Thia uncertainty as to his movements
contributed greatly_ to her anxiety to
accelerate her departure, but notwith
standing the many pressing reasons for
speed, there were others equally press
ing for delay. The main difficulty was
to find a ship, the brew of which might
safely be trusted^o preservo the secret
of the imperial incognita, for it Whs
almost hopeless to expect that the faot
of. there being such a secret oould
be effectually preserved from all on
board.
Fatigued with a search which threa?
tened to become altogether hopeless^,
M. de Lesseps, on the evening of Mon?
day, entered ra small local yachting dub
at Deauville to look-over the papers be?
fore presenting himself at the hole!
where the imperial fugitive was hiding
when ho was greeted by a gentleman
whom he at once' recognized. It was
Sir John Montagu Burgoyne, a young
Crimean hero, who had enjoyed the
friendship of M de Lesseps for many
years.
Sir John at once, according to his
own statement, divioed that something
uusual was in the wind from the pre
senco of M- do Lesseps at such a season
in such a plnoe. His own presence was
accounted for by the fact that ho Was
awaiting the arrival of Lady Burgoyne
from Switzerland, and his yacht aa ha
.explained to M.' do Lesseps was under
orders to sail on tho Wednesday for
'England. . .
' M."4e Lesseps knew, hinman and
knew tba* rW?kncss was the"Burest way
,tp ca'in the object'whioh pr?scpt?d itself
.with lightning quick ness to his mind.
Sir John h,ad barely finished informing
.him pf theseMpartieul?rs when, laying
his hand upon .'the Englishman s arm,
the great engineer said t
? Sir John, will you do me the very
gr??tes^ service I ct er demanded of any
human being?"
"Natno it," said the gallant soldier.
"Will you fiqd^e;Ihrae i p^oe*; on
your yacht for the passage to England
on. Wednesday ?" .....
"Is that all ?" ?aid sir John., laugh?
ing ; "the place* will be ready for you/'
There waa again a momentary - pause,
during which M. de Lesseps fixedly re
carded the young man.
? f?Do you know ?V U asked rapidly, as
ff ashamed of the doubts whioh had
prompted his achfntiny--^,ldo you' know
whom you wii? carry with you aa roy
oo m pantoo1 de voyage ?"
Sir John smiled and shook hts head.
"Her Impera! Majesty the. Empress
of the French," said M. de Lesseps,
quietly.

tire to th? accommodation in.herrath?
er rapidly extemporised berth, to which
eba was, of* conree, utterly unable to
reply. The Empress, however, who
speak? Knglish perfecter, came to her
relief ebd, by Madame Le Brotoa'a wiah
apologi zed ; te the .amo for th e ignorance
of ber "Frenoh waiting'maid."
Early in the morning the French pi
lot came on board, and while the fugi?
tives were still sleeping below, whit the
exception of iM. do Lesseps, who . M?
mained on deck during the whole of the
voyage, the English j acht Gazelle of
sixty tons barden, bearing the Empress
of France and her fortunes, sailed oat
of the harbor of Desoville and made
straight for Ryde. .
This short sleep was, I am assured,
the only one which the Empresa had
enjoyed since the' preceding ' Friday
night. She had foand . lt impossible
to otose her eyes while she remained
on the soil of France, end her sleep, ac?
cording to Madame Le Breton's account
was fitful and disturbed while ehe re?
mained on the yacht.
Early on Thursday morning the lit*
tie vessel out into Ryde, and the Em?
press, taking a most affectionate leave
of her generous hosts, made her way to
the York Hotel where she partook of
breakfast. She then Crossed by the
ordinary steamer to.Portsmouth, where
shs immediately took train for Hastings
arriving there at about 9 on Thursday
night. She did not at once' proceed to
tho hotel at which the Prim e hod been
directed to put up, but, by direction of
M. de Lesseps, she remained at the
waiting room of tho station while the
gentlemen wont out to reconnotire. M.
de Lesseps, on reaching the hotel, cau?
tiously m ado his inquiries, announced
himself as soon as he ascertained that
the Prince was there in safety, and af?
ter a hasty Interview was leaving tho
house to return to tba railway elation,
when a veiled figure rushed past him
on the stairs.
It was the Empress. Her maternal
anxiety had been too great, to allow of
her remaining quietly for M. do Lesseps'
return. She had followed him through
thc streets to the hotel with the inten?
tion of remaining at thodoor ; but hear?
ing the voice of the Prince Imperial,
who had advanced to the head of the
stairs with M. de Lesseps, she had been
unable longer to control her feelings,
and before her astonished guide could
restrain her either by voice or gesture,
mother and son were locked in a olose
and almost convulsive embrace. The
scene was more than touching-it waa
awful in its intensity of sorrow. It was
witnessed not only by the high person?
ages whose names have been already
mentioned, but by the proprietor of the,
Marine Hotel and by a female servant
who waa descending the stairs with a
tray and was for a few moments unable
to pass the group on the landing. What
a sitaation-? landlord end a kitchen
maid blubbering responsive tears to the
sobs of an Empress clasping to her bos?
om a ch i H who.was but lately called the
hope ot Franco 1 '
Both mother and child looked fear?
fully worn-and ill, the child especially
bearing evident traces of the effect? bf
nervous excitement. His eyes, natural
ly large, appeared unusually so, and
they attracted the particular attention
of the Empress, who was observed to
Eush baok the hair from the boy's forc?
ead, and after looking at him long and
earnestly to close each eyelid with a kiss.
The landlord himself, a man who has
traveled and who understands French
indifferently well, says he shall never
forget the depth and tenderness with
which tho Empress, while sho held her
son, exclaimed, "Mon pauvre Louis !
Moo pauvre Lons, maintenant je n'ai,
que toi."
'? ?And papa," said the child, ?nd be?
fore he could continue the doors of the
drawing room were closed upon mother
and son.
I am writing from special informa?
tion when I say that the scene within
the apartment continued for pome time
to be of the tame tender end affecting
character, though in time the principal
parties in it he?omo lesa deeply affected
and their conversation assumed a moro
oheerful tone. The child's horror pf
the scenes', he h?d passed through on
the battle-field was, however, most de?
cidedly manifested and he. showed an
acuteness of distress that seemed the
premonitory symtoms of convulsions,
when tho Enrpresa proposed (half he
should at once return to Gorman y with
herself to share the captivity of his
fatber. '.Not.to .bebattles" rhamroe,
he exclaimed moro than ono?, and the
Empress in vain endeavored to reassure
him by stating that his father wes now
quite beyond tho sounds and the sights',
which bad inspired bis yonthful'iroag^

The ?cono proved far too trying for
the Empress. During, tho whole of

[From the Cuicngo Times.]
A LAND LOCOMOTIVE.
ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY MA
CHINE IN CHICAGO.
From time to time the Times has
urged upon the inventors the necessity
of prodveing, for the level plains of the
Northwest, a land locomotive, or traotion
engine. Whether or not the reiterated
demands of the Times had anything.'to
do with it, we do.not know { but on Fri.
day, a machine bf the preciso character
which we have so often deolared to be
a ueeessity made its appearanoe on our
street?. The inventor nod builder is
Mr. Lake, a gentleman well known to
Chicago from his original connection
with the Westside railway ; and, later,
as the contractor and builder of the
Washington street tunnel.
The vehicle which made its way
along the streets of the Westside on
Friday and Saturday ia unlike any
traotion engine ever before built. It is
a locomotive vehicle, a portable engine,
and a fho-stenmar, all in one. This
combination is entirely novel, but this
?soot all that is new about it. Mr.
Lake has discovered tod used a princi?
ple in the application of power that has
never before been employed- This
principle is one which admits of the
produetion of extraordinary power al?
most directly to. the driving-wheel..
In an ordinary locomotivo, tho steam
from, the cylinder acts upon the piston
and is communicated direotly . to the
crank of the driving wheels. In Mr.
Lake's machino, when desirable, the
motion oan first be communicated to
balance wheels. When these wheels
have reached a very high rate of speed,
tho power can be communicated by a
"clutch" to tho driving wheels. The
communication eau bo made gradually
or rapidly as may bo thought desirable.
Any one can seo the benefit of this
style of communication. Suppose the
vehiole io a plaoe where it requires ex?
tra force to start it. By applying the
power at once, no movement is effected ;
but by storing it up in the balance*
wheels, and then communicating it to
the drivers, one gets almost precisely
the same benefit that he would by get?
ting, say, ? heavy wagon under rapid
motion just bofore running it up au
incline.
If a man has to pass over a depression
in the road, with a heavily loaded truck,
it is easily seen that if he is under
rapid headway, he will pass through it
with less difficulty than he would if he
should attempt to pull his load out of
the hollow where his wagoo hud been
standing. A person about ta leap over
pome obstacle aids his final jump by a
short run. .The locomotive engineer
about to asoend a difficult grade rushes
at it after having accumulated a surplus
force in s high motion.
It is preoisely this well known princi?
ple in mechanics wbioh Mr. Lake has
employed in his engine.
He has another novelty. The machino
has two sets of driving wheels, one pf
which ts considerably smaller thar* the
other. By a simple use of tho sotow,
either set can be raised, leaving the
other on the ground. Tho Dower oan
bo applied at will to eithor.. The object
of these two seta is, of course, to obtain
either greater power or speed, ns mSy
be desired: Id hauling heavy loads, the
small wheels will be used, and in ex?
cursions, where there is no great weight
to be hauled, rapidity is secured hy tho
employment of tho largo driyers.
A pump and air chamber furnish an
apparatus for throwing. tTotcr?. while a
hand whoo! allows tho transfer of pow?
er to a threshing machine, or.any other
article bf the Hud.
The ?rtgtno ls a very handsome one
It weighs about three tons, and moves
without difficulty, sud.guides AS easily
as a well trained horse.
The construction ol this machine
will open up, wo believe, a new an?!
irapor'ant ora in locomotion. A heavy
machino, like the One just roforrod to,
will haul heavy, loads, act- ?? a. fire
steamer, and do duty tts ? portable'1 en?
gine. Smaller ones.can, bo constructed j
whose weight will not exoeed. .half
ton, whioh oan be used for passenger
travel, or the lighter business connect
ed with (he transfer of goods in a largo
city. Wo ced no reason why such ft"
