TFrom th. New York Tribune


In 1886 Louis BOnaparie, an unknown and
not particularly respectable refugee, entered
S.rasbourg in quiet manner, took small
loom at one of the hotels. and proclaimed
himself Emperor Of the French and heir of
the hero of Austerlitz. One regiment of the
garrison, through the influence of their colo
mel, accepted INN, and when he pulled an
eagle out of his pocket and placed it ON the
standard. Then he marched to the barracks
and appealed to the other troops, but they shut
the gates ond pu; him in the guard house.
Three years afterwards, provided with a
tame eagle and a military uniform, he char
tered a British steamboat, went to BOulOgne,
and proclaimed himself Emperor again.
But the eagle refused to fy, the soldiers re-
fused TO rise, an officer urged to Join the con-
spiracy tore of Louis BOnaparte's epaulets
and trampled them under foot, and the I'M
fortunate pretender, dragged dripping and
dishonored from the waves through which he
was trying to escape, was once more arrested
and sent to Jail.

A good, but We know not how re-

able doctor, of the experimental and
eclectic school of medicine. It was
one Of his rules never to have any
thing wasted; and therefore when any
prescription remained after the pa
tient had died or recovered he would
empty it into a bottle kept for the
purpose, that became the receptacle
of heterogeneous compound that
science coUldnot analyze. A young
er member of the faculty noted this
as a very singular fact, and asked of
him the reason for it. The doctor
hesitated a little, and then reDlied
that, though in ordinary cases he
knew what to do, there were instan-
ces when all his medical skill failed
At such times it was his custom to
resort to the big bottle, and leave
nature and accident to accomplish
the cure. "And, viii you believe
