NapoIcon's Cnreer.

The New ToIk World closes an editori-
al on Napoleon as follows:
"The career of the French Emperor
has been an extraordinary one; but un-
less he shall change his tactics, it is not
very far from its contamination. He has
acquired power by series of theatrical
surprises. When he landed at Boulogne
with an eagle and a gray overcoat, he
revealed the method by which he eX-

is great educator. 1t matured Napo-
Icons ideas. rs it has those of jeff. Davis,
who would now be q dangerous man in
any other Country than this. But, al
though Napoleon's ideas were matured,
his diplomacy was the same, and it may
be defined by The single word trickery.
He was chosen President OF the French
Republic by trick. He pretended to be
q fool, just as one Of the ancient Popes
pretended to be III his dotage, SO that
unscrupulous men would place him in
power to use him as their puppet.
While President he intrigued with
aud tricked all the Republican leaders in
turn, constantly practicing his art as
Houden, or Anderson, or Heller practices
feats oflegerdemain. He became Empe-
ror by trick His alliance with Eng
land was clever trick which has re-
duced the British nation to second
rate Power. All his plans for peace con-
crosses and diplomatic conferences were
shrewd tricks, designed to increase his
own glory at the expense of other peo
pie. His championship of Italy was a
trick to disarm those who were determ-
ined to assassinate him He tricked
Maximilian into Mexico, and he has been
humbugging Secretary Seward ever
since. Like a diplomatic tlirt, he has
sided with all the Powers of Europe, one
after the other, and at last he has got
them all at loggerheads. Now he has to
deal with Russia, who objects to his best
laid plans, who eau not be bamboozled,
and who is too mighty to be ignored or
defed We are curious to see how he
will play his game with this opponent.

The Modern Heroine.

The change which has come over the
romantic dreams of the shortstory wri.
ter has been slow but insidious. The
heroine, whose stateliness we loved, has
become arch, vivacious and witty to q
painful degree. Instead of thrilling us
with that melancholy glance which was
supposed to express In some orthodox
manner "the yoarniags OF poetic soul" !"
she now transfxes us with sarcasm
Instead of these conversations magnifi-
cent in hyperbole and lofty in sentimenS
we have now badinage that becomes al
most hysterical in its Intensity. Her
head no longer sinks on her lovers man.

that she has sentiment, but it is OF
singularly perplexing and exasperatlng
quality-sbe has way OF looking at
you "with strange dumb eyes"-her
glance is trance like" and "far off''-she
is "sybyline," "fateful." She is no longer
beautiful but singular looking" 1t
may be easnyo9imagined that heroine
of this order would not be satisfied with
that one devoted lover which in former
times was her predestined partner. She
loves two. She is two or three times en-

She has all, the benefit of those "exten-

etical Justice admits equally as its liter
ature and law. The modern short-story
gives us details, where, formerly, we had
mere glittering generalities. The dress
of our heroine is described with feminine
precision; the writer no longer trusts to
white muslin and simple rosebuds" for
