Napoleon's Home and Grave at st.
Helena.


A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes from st. Helena, giving an
account Of visit to the residence and
grave of Napoleon Bonaparte at st. He
lena. The house at Longwood is hardly
thirty-iive feet front by twenty deep.
There is look of barrenness and DESC
lation about the place. High and pre-
cipitous ridges rise up on all sides. In
almost all of them batteries were placed
converging upon this one poor, miserable
house. The French officer in keeping
said that it rained continually, and that
at times the wind was piercing cold, and
that the house was in the worst position
for the winter wind and summer hear.
The heavy moisture brought into the is
land by the southeast trades is very bad
ON rheumatism. Napoleon continually
complained of this. The rooms in the
house are poor and cramped, the largest
being only twelve by fourteen feet. Over
the mantle piece is the following notice :
"a decent behavior is expected from
all visitors to the habitation of His Maj
esty the Emperor Napoleon the First, at
Longwood Old House. The conservator
begs of them to take off their hats at
least in the saloon, where the illustrious
captive breathed his last, and not smoke.
The visitors are requested to abstain from
cutting, writing orengraving their names
or anything else on the walls, doors, or
ceilings of this house; from cutting any
branches Of trees, or any flowers, without
the authorization of the first guardian.
A book is kept to receive the names of
the visitors. In word, they are request
ed to keep with respect this habitation
in reverence to Il great misfortune.

A small wooden rail surrounds the
space in the drawing room where the ex-
lied Emperor died, and bust of him
stands upon pedestal inside. After Ma
poleon's death the room in which he
breathed his last was converted into q
milllfor threshing grain. The mark of
the hole in the foundation where the
shaft went through is still to be seem
His bedroom was changed into a cattle
stable, and the whole building devoted
to cattle and pigs. In the rear of the
house is fish pond made by the Empe'
ror himself The English charged ex
cessive fees for exhibiting the home ant
tomb Of their great enemy, and before
Louis Napoleon obtained possession o
! Longwood he had to enter into an agree
ment with a Mr.. Mass Of ST. Helena, tt
pay him e350O for lease of twenty on,
years, the English merely permitting hin
to buy the tomb and house of the En-
| peror.
The tomb is located on All elevation
two thousand feet above the level of tn
sea, at spot which Napoleon himsel
selected, and close by spring which h
discovered. The tomb itself is plai
stone slab, with no ornament whatever
1t is girt by an iron railing and limit
ed piece of ground with a wooden fence
a number of willow trees are plante
near the tomb, and the sweet geraniur
flourishes in abundance inside the iro
inclosure
All along the road from jamestown
Longwood are still to be seen the sign'
stations, alarm houses, guard houses an
gates, that were established to prevei
the Emperor's escape.

What the Minutes Say.

We are but minutes; little things;
Zach one furnished with sixty wings.
With which we fly on our unseen track.
And not q minute ever comes back.
We are but minutes; yet each bears
All its burden Of Joy and cares;
Then calmly bear minutes fill with pain
The worst of minutes cannot remain.
We are but minutes when we bring
Dewdrops sweet from the pleasure-spring;
So taste their sweetness while yet we stay
A minute. and they vanish away.
We ure but minutes. Use us we'll,
For our use we must one day tell;
Who uses minutes has hours to use;
Who loses minutes, years must lose.

4 ATTEAIP TO FIRE FoRREsr's STABLE
Between twelve and one o'clock last night
j. s. Hurd was arrested by the police Of
the northern district, and committed at the
upper station on the charge of attempting
to burn the livery stable kept by Col. Jesse
Forrest, on Adams, between Main and
Second streets. About midnight Mr.. Robt.
Taggert, employed as watchman on The
premises, on going TO the loft over the stable,
found quantity of coal oil thrown upon
the floor, and Hhrd, with lighted candle
in his hand, standing near BY, and, as he
supposed, just in the act of igniting the
oil, which would have almost instantly
enveloped the building in. flames. What
motive Hurd could have had in firing the
building is not known, but, as he refused
to give any explanation of his conduct,
which, to say the least, was exceedingly
suspicious, he was collared by the watch
man, and, as above stated, turned over to
the police, by whom he was lodged in the
station. HQrd had made his appearance
about the premises In a state Of intoxica-
ton at an early hour of the night, and had
been put out by Taggert when he closed
up the stable. He had returned, however,
it would seem, and forced an entrance into
the building by .pfizing open the back door.
