cuirassiers turned back, the brave Prus-
slams actually rushed forward in hot
pursuit, MISUNDERSTANDING plain
ly pursuing flying cavalry. There was
no more striking episode than this in
the battle.
When the French infantry saw their
cavalry thus fleeing before foot soldiers,
they came forward and attacked the
Prussians, who waited quietly and pa
tiently, enduring rapid and telling fire
from the Chassepots, until their enemies
had come within q hundred yards
Then they returned with the needle gun
the rapid fire FROG the Chassepots, and
the French infantry could no more en-
dure their fire than the cavalry had
The French infantry fled it its turn, and
followed the cavalry to the place from
which they came; that is, behind ridge
some 500 yards on the way to Saden,
where the Prussian mitrilleuses, with
their teasing fire could no longer reach
them.
The great object of the Prussians was
thus gained, since they were not driven
from the crest of the hill.

WHY NAPOLEON BECAME EMPEROR.
1t is an interesting fact that the pri-
mary cause of Napofeon's coup d etat in
1852 was the refusal of France to pay
him larger salary as President of the
then Republic. The Constitution had
fixed his personal pay at six hundred
thousand francs per annum, and the
Constituent Assembly little before its
separation, had granted him a credit
of six hundred thousand francs more for
personal expenses. But this amount
over two hundred thousand dollars-did
not correspond with the ideas of the
President, who had been improving ev-
cry opportunity to express his faith in
the simplicity and efficacy of democrat
ic institutions. Though the President
of the North American Republic receiv-
ed but twenty-five thousand dollars an
nually, the President of the new French
Republic turned up his nose at Ell ght
times that amount, and the Bonaparte
journals of France con SANITY harped
upon "the miserable sum-" Finally,
when some of the principal members of
his cabinet refused TO present to the Ma
tional Assembly plan for law giving
the President three million francs addi-
tional for "current expenses" Napoleon
seems to have been exasperated, and the
Barrot Dufaure Ministry was soon after
dismissed.
The request to have his salary increas-
ed to $4,000 annually was, however,
finally acceded to in the National As
sembly by majority of forty-six on a
vote of six hundred and sixty-two. But
this did not satisfy the Presidents de-
mands. He still craved and demanded
more, and a little later we find him ask
ing the Assembly to grant him one mil
lion eight hundred thousand francs ad
ditional, for annual personal expenses.
This sum, equal to aboat $3.50, 900, was
in addition to the sS4O,o9O already grant
ed to Napoleon, and would bring his sal
airy up to 81, 100000. This request, how
ever, was received with decided demon
STATIONS of i'll favor, and it was finally
tabled by a voc of 1896 to 294. From
that time the President seems to have
decided upon coupd etat, which should
secure for him the royal magnifcence of
an Emperor. 1t succeeded, and from
that time Napoleon has received an an
nual income of 100000 francs, or
s5,O00000; that is a sum two hundred
times as great as the salary of the Pres
ident of the United States. In addition
the Imperial family have an annual al.
lowance of s450,000 and the free use of
fifteen palaces.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

The Election.

The election in this state on Tuesday,
resulted in the usualrepublican triumph.
Mr. Stewart will be elected governor by
some twenty thousand majority, and the
republican congressman are all elected
by overwhelming majorities. The legis-
lature will also have a great prcpcnderance

On the whole the election shows YER

on the leading questions of the day. She
has spoken with no uncertain voice. She
sustains the national administration, and
has rolled up her old-fashioned majori-
ties as an earnest of it.
