Chumgurnior did not think i war was declared that the Chiumbers would give the sup: piles, but there would more prey bow second coup d'état, He did not think that Lamurtine had shown cournge in hia revolutionnry attempts. Changaruler thought thut nothing but the Incons celvable folly and cowardice of the Austriun Cunerw, Lichensteln, saved Napoloon from ut- ter ruin at Solferino, “When the Emporor ree turned to tho Tulleries,” says Changurntor, * at the foot of the grand stalrensy, after he hud kissed his child and the Empress, ho turned back to the crowd of military men behind him and sald, *Nover till 1 made this cum y wd Tt the leuBt iden of the genius of Changarnicr speaks of the Rimperor’s being always surprised; that he was surprised nt Montebello, ut Magenta, at Solferino, He was ulways looking for exenses to quit the fel” “Like muny men of furvid imagination, he quails before the dunger when it is netually present.” Durlig the battles of Magenta and wiferino he kept wcouple of mites In the roar and ayer guye un order, Alt that he did was to smoke.” DARKER TRAIN, : Occusionally we have the Emporor ina moro despicable position.
