Tlio New York World gives a sketch of Louis Napoleon, d'rawn from inoidonts of his nojourn at Hobokon, oppoBito New York. We extract the interesting portion : SKETCH OF THE TOUTK. Ho was then as now taciturn witfi" strangors to an embarrasaing degree, bút with any with -whom he was iotimato and whose cenfidence he relied on, he was as free of speech as man need bo. He was nevcr even tjion withottt hTs cigar or cigarslte, and was fond of smokiug on the streets, Dr in a ramble oij' tho Bergen Heights. IÏ9 iras never weary of admiring the view of thollud son, Staten Islaod, Long Island and the' bay, that was tb be obtained from a' spot here and there. One of the greatcat privations of his royal or imperial stato is that which compela him, on 3ö many occasions during tho day, to fore- go his cigar. Of his own will, it wouldf uover be out of his raouth. HI8 RESIDEN'CE IN nOBCKÍl?: He livod in Hoboken at a time wheif Hoboken liffd not attained its present dimensions, and did not even seem li!e- ly to rise at any titub from its quiet. ducklike rest on the áeashore, to expana its y-ings ovor the swamps to the hills beyond - when, in fact, it waS a íero' village and notbing more. His abodo was for many yeárs on lilbomfield e tree t - or what ia now Bloómfield gtroet - in' quarters of no pretentions to aristocracy or even gentility. His rooih wás iü thé' attic of a large frame building, tho basement and first floor of which was oceupied by stores, and the intervening sto-" ries by mechanics' boardióg and lodging. Thé room looked to the east. Thero' were no decorations on the walls bui. such as the plain boards afforded, and no furniture escept a small iron bedstead, three chairs- two small oces éifd a kind of airij chair, in which he sat wheu he wrote. ma wardrobb was cf the scantiest máleriál, and rométimes he presented as eorry a ppecimetí1 of seedy gentility as you neod look at, n worn out in" tí'.read-are coat. How ie succeeded in appeasing thé Tantsof 10 inner man was a mystery tbat soon ttained solution ín the neighborhood hen he was seen under cover of night o èteal out and b'ny some loaves oè )read át ihe adjoining baker's. WINE AND TOBACCC?. He MWáys managed - how few coülóf ell--to have á good bottle of wine in lis room, and never to be out. of to!$ac0. Ah! this invetérate smoker - nophw of bis unele - in this respect, too ïow different from the man who drew ie smoke of the Persian ambassador'a libook into his stomach, ánd was laid" p for a week in cousequeuce of that olitary attempt at smoking. A FATORITE HAUSTé Hd was the very best customer of a ttle Alsatian Frenchman named Sanlot, who kept a tobaoco store opposite lim, and many a discussion took placo jetween them. Napoleon, who is, perïaps, in temperament, the least of a íYeuchiuán oi' áll mën to day living, eeined to toke huge delight ia drawing ut his excitable neig'ibor on topics that were likely to excite him. It wils amusing to See eren then the uiet niactery with which the young ontrcllerof ien, because controller o? ïioiself, preserved hid temper in discuson with his whito-headed but highly TBseiblo opponent. Of all things under the sun M. Sangot lored the exiled Bourbon family,1 nd though he could not hate the Lite corporal who had dono so mueh for trance, yet he found much difiiculty in econciliug his lovc for the Bourbon with the hero of Lodi and the conquer:' r oí Austerlitz. LIBERTIXISr.í. No ono denies or attempts to deny; ïat he was as foud of wornen then as ie is now, oven in bis oíd age ; but his bertinism wa9 never coupled with toó eep potatious as in Bismarck's universij and wild oats dayá. Of cards hè ever was fond, and is not to-day fond f the insano freaks of dissipation relatd of his rival, perhaps boöause his btoo'd ever ran high nor hut enough. PERSOKAL APPEARANCE. His short, bowed legs always gave lim an ungraceful carriago on foot, bedes makiug him appear os he is by eason of these same legs, a short-sized man. On horseback he is rather gracoul thftn otherwise, the length of bis )oóty giving him an air of tallness. We an well appreciate thö horror of thef American lady, lrom .Cleveland "whd onsldfered tho ïïmperor a perfect frieht' s she wrote home in her account of the ourt ball at the Tuilleries. An attendnce at one of these halls, which is led ff by the Emperor and Empress in peron, genersily would do mors to makë nc latigh át the style óf his Majesty ban witnessing a hundred Boulogne xpeditions. His ungainly figure was ever calculated to go curveting aniong he most gracefül swells ánd inost beauifül women in Europe round a balloom. And, in fact, in thát well-bredy bandsomo crowd, a smile whifch isbroad enough to be distinguishable froín one of appröval, öften gees round at his expense. Good breeding alone has often prevented it from being a "smile out loud," as the down-easter is pleased to cali a horse-laugh.
