MISCELLANY.

NAPOLEON IIL-Mr. Kinglake, in his able
work on the Crimean War, gives the following
amusing incident in relation to the present IT,
tie of the Emperor Of France:
at is said, | know not with what truth,
that the style OF the new Emperor was the re-
suit of clerical error. In the course of its
preparations for constituting the Empire, the
Home Office wished the country to take up a
word which should be intermediate between
President and Emperor so the Minister de-
termined to order that France should sud-
denly burst into a cry of 'Vive Napoleon,
and he wrote, they say, the following order:
Que lie mot d'ordre soft Vive Napoleon y. |!
The clerk, they say, mistook the three notes
. of admiration for Roman numerals, and in a
few hours the forty thousand communes of
France had cried out so obediently for 'Napo-
leon I'LL that the Government was obliged to
adopt the clerks blunder.

If you add the last two, 6x3, they equal 8; ii
you set the first two figures, Is, under 63, and

Of which, added together, sxI-9; if you SUBJ
tract the first two from 49, the remainder is
45, the figures of which, il added together, AXIS
-; il you divide the 60 by the Is, the quo
tent is B, with remainder; if you multiply
all the figures together, 1xsx6x3, the result is
144, the figures of which, lx4x4-9< if you
add all the figures Of the year together, the
sum is IL, and the sum, lxS-9; if you divide
Z 1863 by 8. the quotient is 62l, and 6x2xl-9;
II you divide 1858 by 9. the quotient is 207
and 2x0x7-9; If you divide 1858 by %, the
quotient is 81, and Sxl-9; if you divide 1868
by 80, the quotient is II, and 2x7-9. There
are other similar results The year 1891 will
provide large variety of similar combinations.
