Woman's Intuition.

--Count d'orsenne one day accompanied the first Emperor on an excursion. The Emperor complained of thirst, and some one seeing a woman at a little distance, called to her. The woman did not know Napoleon nor any of the escort. She gave the Emperor a glass of water mixed with a little brandy, and then courtesies for payment. "There, my good woman," said Napoleon, pointing to Count d'orsenne, there is the Emperor; ask him for money; he pays for us all." The woman blushed and looked embarrassed; then turning to the Count, she scanned his splendid uniform with the eye of a connoisseur, and said: ‘"He? pooh, nonsense! Do you think I believe that? The Emperor is not such a coxcomb. You, sir, look more like him yourself,"’ The Emperor was much amused at the remark, and gave the woman a double louis.
