THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
Louie Nf peioenie Eece.po from Ilam.
A writer in one of theFuglish magazines,
who: has lately been proparilig x series of
articles entitled `The early days of Na-
poleon, III.," gives a description of the
Prince's escape from Ham, where -he was
undergoing a sentence of perpetual impris-
onment. The :account is very readable, both
from the inherent interest of the circum-
stances, and the straightforwardness : with
which they are recorded
On the 23rd of'May, ,1846, Louis Napol-
eon was visited - by c,oine • English gentle-
men whom he had known in London. He
begged diem to lend him their passport,, on
the ground that his valet, who wanted ito
Lake a short J 'ourY, >,e wonld find them: use-
ful in procurin.g.post horses. The travellers,
whether suspecting more or not, -- were happy
to render the service, it trifling, still more
happy if impoi tant. By this means, on the
evening of the 26th. The line managed to
engagefor the next day a cabriolet to the
small village of Ham.
Orr the 25th the. Prince rose early, cut of
his moustache and imperial, and put on the
prepared disguise—a complete laborer's
dress, consisting of -the blue linen blouse
and trousers, dli}.rated cap, rough wooden
shoes. and a dirty apron. The costume was
completed by blackened eye -brows, a
black wig hanging ahcut his ears, pain ted
face, and a short clay pipe, which might
betray: his iidentity; he would - not part
with a couple of letters one from his moth-
er,the other from. the Emperor.. He might
esp- eciaily value the letter frons its contain-
ing the;senten:ce "1 hope that Louis Napol-
eon, as be grows up, will make himself
wortl,.ty of the destinies w lr.icli await him.
At 7 in the morning,, the masons entered.
the fortress to resume their woi k. `Odin
offered thea .something�to drink,. and hawing
got them together around nd the table; in the
vestibule, .;
ran to tell his; master that the .mo-
ment bad come. The Prince ' shouldering
prepared - . a plank beforehand v lked down- -
the stairs, avoiding the vestibule where the.
men were drinking. Thelin dressed as for
a journey,also stepped into the courtyard,
leading his' clog by a string, and walking a
fewpaces f r ii
in � it of the Prince, as he had
1. .
obtained permission .the previous evening,
� P
to go to St. Quentin; at whites he stopped to --
chat with him, to divert his attention frons
the Prince, who wa gravely advancing with
the plank on his boulder, held in such a
way as to screen its ft.ce. So impossible
to guess who he as, that a laborer; taking
him for cne of his comrades, went up to
him ; but Thelin with great a:ddr•css'directed
his attention to, something else. A little
further on he met an officer, who, luckily,
was busy reading a letter. Then he had to -
pass through a group of thirty soldiers, _ ais-
serubled in front of the guard house: Fin-
ally passing through all the courts,he.earne
to the outer lodge. The porter, fearing -a
blow from the plank, quickly withdrew his
head. A few paces bs-vhnd tele last sentinel
who' followed him with his eves, the Prince
-dropped his pipe and picked r& up again.
The movement served" to hide his face; : al-
ready half concealed by the a►:lafrK: At last
crossing the draw -bridges, he wasiee !
Thelin ran to fetch the cabriolet tie had
hired the day-. before. Dining 1 -is absence,
I the fugitive waliced with the most fever-
ish impatience on the road to St. Quentin.
Unconscious of the weight of his wooden
shoes, he soon reached the cemeeiy of St
Sulpice, nearly a mile .out of the village.
He threw himself at the foot of the lofty
crucifix, which rises in the midst of the
graves, and thanked Heaven, foil the haj,pi
.ness vouchsafed to hien. He saw 'Tlieli.ri
'advancing with the cabriolet, but another
)
carriage: wag following. He -waited- till the
latter had passed it Then,- jumping into
the cabroilet, he thre-v his wooden shoes in-
to a field and took the reins, now playing
the part of driver. A few minutes after-
ward, two mounted gendarmes rode out of
St. Sulpice. But they took aiother direct-
son --namely, toward Perone.
Before entering Saint. Quentin, which is
al. busy marulfaetuting town, Louis Napol-
eon got out .of the calrroilet and walked
through the streets, tits lie left the town by
the road to Cambria, whei.e Thelia we s. to.
ton duck, which not only ate and swftllo w.ed,
'but digested food= --that is it ejected, in due
time after the eating, the apparent results of
digestion; which really were an artful mix-
ture of spinach, chalk, andother ingredients.
Now, the cunning Doctor, :a little after 10
in the morning, ' displayed a composition of
coffee,- milk, boiled bread, nitric acid, and
eau de Cologne, in :proot.. of the Prince's
.omrynissentenis, at 1 o'clock the command-
ant of the fortress, remembering the efj ci-
ency of .the muster's eye, .carpe himself to see
how things were going" oil: The Doctor
told him the Prince was very fatigued, and
required repose. At 7 in the evening, the
comma ndaint returned, declaring that as the
Prince had been *kali day, he was obliged
to make his rept�rt of it; with which intent
he entered the room. -
-
"The Prince is asleep," said the. Doctor,
"make as little noise as possible," "It is
strange," observed the commandant, •" that
he has not awakened by the rolling of the
drtxtus justno ay.". So saying, he stepped uj
to
.the bed and laid his hand on a l►tandle.on
the pillow, which was a: capital imitation of
a sick man's head bound with a sills pocket
handkerchief.: The Doctor was arrestetl im-
mediateiy, but what was that to hiin '? The
bird had fairly flown, and was safely housed
in Brussels. It would have been no use
setting the .telegraph to` work, even had at
telegraph in those days connected Ham with -
the lines of railway. "He's .over the boi der

with CharlesThelin :end his favorite retriev-
er. Being pretty well .assured of that, what
did the good Doctor care about being march-
ed off to Peronne in handcuffs like a con:
pion felon;between a couple of gendarmes'

to,. his keepers had been committed, bas al-
ways leen' held a. venal offence; fo a fellow
piisoner to aid that escape is held much
more pardonable:
:b'or this offence; he was tried a Peronne
on the 15th - of July, 1846, Hoe neither
extenuated or vaunted the act .of which ho
was accu.ed. He simply said that what- he
hal done was in obedience to the dictates
of his heart, his attachrr,ent, and his 'grati-
tude. In spite of the eloquence of hitt
counsel, Maitre Nogent-Saint Laurel:t one
;o the most brilliant advocates of the Court
of Paris, who said very fine things very
little ;o the purpose, he was .condemned to
'tree months' imprisonment, a sentence
whi.cl,, under the' circumstances, may 13t;
looked non •as another form of " severel
reprimanded ; because when a man has
unilernre a five years' im >risonment, and
-1
remains in prison after its expiration .for
the i urpose of attending a prisoner for life.
it is laughable, contemptible, too give. that
man three months, for helping the •p ei•pe-
tua4l prisoner to regain his liberty. Charles
Thelia, never a prisoner himself hut.mct•ely
a prisoner's valet de cltaanbre, was condemn-
ed .i e containace, in his. absence, bt;cause
he did not present himself to; take his triad,
to six months of durance vile. Whether
six months oi' sl:,ty, it would be all ` the,
same to him When once beyond !thee gripe of
the Fre-ich gendarmes. We may here add,
that when Louis .Napoleon became Presi-
dent, Dr. _Connean was still his physician

Janet And her Web
•
;1011. DAVISON,
- Many years- ago in the parish of Oarspih-
airn, in Galloway --a rude and sequested
district—there were only three freemasons,
rhe minister, a tailor and a mason. The
mason -being desirous to introduce his :ion
g �.
to the same mystery,,caused a lodge to be
called for the purpose at a lonely cottage.
where the ceremonies - were proceeding
when a knock was heard at the doer. The
mason,who.,e name was Dun, went to see
who it was, and found an old woman who
addressed him as follows . 'The masons
are suet the nicht?" "Yes." "Well, ye
ken - my web was stolen last week." "Yes,
Janet ; but- what has that wi' the mason
meetin'?""Oh, ye ken, yell be raising the
de'il, and .j wad just like if ye wad ask him,
since lie's thee at :my, rate, wha stole the
veti." "Ou, ay, :Janet ; just gait; away
then, and we'll see what we can do."
Mr. Dun then returned to the interior of
the cottage and mentioned to the minister.
vhat had passed between Lim and the old
woanan The, clergyman rebuked him :;cs-
verely for - conceding to the superstitious
notions of an aged crone, and said he feared`
ha it would affront them a' "Nae fear o'
hat," answered the man "just leave it a' to
ire,"
Next day when Janet called on Mr. Dun
e told her that "the de'll" had not exactly
ommunjca.ted with the name o' the thief,
ut he had mentioned that if the goods were
of returned before Thuisdaty next, the
house of the guilty person would fall upon
him in thenight-time, and the whole family
would be killed. This, he said was a great
ecret, and:strictly forbade her contthunicat-
ng it to mor e ,than one person.
Away went J. met quite satisfied. although
might have ieen expected ily her, that
1Jredietion of a punislunent to a thief
pick him up with another vehicle. He
wair,ed andwaited; but no Thelia came. He
suit crown by the roadside, leaning his head
onhis hands, and asked 'himself 'whether he.
was again to be made the victim of a `third
disappointment. He felt Somet,hing--gently
jogging his shoulder. I1, was the dog that
Thelin had led with a string, running be-
fore the carriage, and come to caress'. hirn.
In a few minutes they were sitting behind a t
good Marie' of post -horses, on the road tri
Valenciennes, where, at 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, they took the train from Paris, h
which stops there on its way to Brifssels.
While the Prince was thus hastening to- a
ward Brussels, Dr. Conneau,-,who remained n
in the fortress, employed every wssible -
stratagem to give hires full` time to cross the
frontier. He 'placed a puppet or -effigy in .
the Prince's bedroom wh'.cli opened into s
the passage; lighted a fire tin the sitting -
room, and kept a supplyof.toffee before it.
When the man who waited on him arrived,
"We will breakfast in t-ny room," said the it
Dr. "The little table will -suffice, because tlie
'Gen; Montholon is indisposed." That
morning the cure was expectedto celebr=ate
mass. The Doctor sent him' a letter which
the Prince had written overnight, begging
hire to defer saying mass till another day.
He then paid a short visit to Gen. .Mon-
tholon, who -was still in bed. °At 9 o'clock
the commandant of the fortress sei to make
enquiries about tho - Prince. He replied
that the Prince was indisposed. p
The trick which the Doctor :played to b
confirm the bullietin . was particularly in- th
genious, if it was riot a.- plagurisui from P
Vaucauson's duck.. The artist, among the at
mechanical marvels, produced an•automa- ru
was- not exactly a char<acterestic piece of
conduct on the'part of Old Nick. The sec-
ret. was immediately impared to her next-
door neighbor,. with many injunctions; as to
-the propriety of letting it go no further ;
notwithstanding which, it was known to the
whole parish before night.
On the next morning thereafter, Janet's
web was found. lying at her door, - with a
art which had been attached to the main
ody of it -with pins. The story is here (for
e :first time)put in print, as in two res -
Bets illustrative of the superstitions which
no distant period ;prevailed among the.
stic people of Scotland.
