Tie EMPREss JosErHIxE.--A statuc Of
the Empress Josephine has just been put
up in the boulevard bearing her name
and leading to the Exhibition. The in.
auguration of this statue--the only ono
OF Napoleon's wife in Pais---brings to
our mind crowds of anecdotes. and
amongst them an authentic and rather
droll ono.
1t was in 1776, Josephine, before mar.
rying Gen. Bonapartc, consulted her
lawyer, Monsieur Haquideau, as to her
union with the young victor Of Saint
Roch. Its folly answered the sage
man of law, perfect folly. to marry d
young officer without fortune and with
out future" But Josephine had moro
confidence still In the oracles OF Mile.
Lcnormand, the celebrated fortune teller;
or rather, she did as people often do af-
ter asking advicc-slic followed her own
mind and did well. ~ af't p q t'ei ~
Bonaparte heard Of the opinion passed
upon him, but made his woy in spite of
NJ. Raquideau's doubts, and the young
officer became Emperor But although
he had advanced much he had forgotten
nothing. When he was attired In his
coronation robes, and few minutes be-
fore proceeding to Notrc Dame, he called
dean be brought" !.
The poor notary thought he had sign
ed his last contract "Wcll," said the
Emperor, as soon as he perceived him.
'herc is the man without. fortune and
without future!" and then, after q mis-
chievous pause Of a few minutes, he turn
ed to the confused lawyer and added:
~ name you lawyer to the family" @
Josephine did well, they say. Can We
think SO if we remember her after suffer
ing, and the agony Of that night, when,
knowing her fate, she drew Bcnapartc 70

prophetcally, Like those two stars VIC
