Anecdotes of Napoleon.

The Empress Eugene, supposing
that the Prince Imperial evinced a
marked taste for music, invited "a
teacher to the Tuileries. When Napo-
leon learned from her who the visitor
was he said "Send him away, one
troubadOur is enough for Europe -
abiding to the King of Bavaria. whose
passionate love for music is we'll known.
The most forgiving and patriotic
IMPORTER of the late Emperor was per-
haps old Gen. Changarnier He was
once the chief counselor of the Prince
President, but fell into disfavor. and
was among the imprisoned officers at
the coup d'etat. When, however, the
country was in danger, this veteran of
50 years joined the army, avowed his
fidelity to the Empire, and was true to
the last
Appeals to the susceptibilities of the
French people regarding his great
uncle were in early life a potent means
with Louis Napoleon of promoting his
own popularity. Thus, in 1889, he
feelingly wrote Of the great Emperor:
"The lightning flashed once more
but soon came Waterloo. Here every
French voice is choked. and finds only
tears-tears for the vanquished and
tears for the victors, who will sooner
or later regret the overthrow of the
only man who who could mediate be-
tween two hostile ages"
In his "Napoleonic Ideas" which
the ex-Emperor published in 1889, he
fores hadowed for the United States
grander destiny than he was willing
to concede afterward when misled by
the phantom of q Mexican Empire.
His words in 1889 were: Providence
has committed to the United States
of America the charge of peopling
and subduing to civilization all that
immense territory which extends from
The Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and
from the north pole to the equator.
Their government, which is a simple
administration, has had, up to the
present time, but to put in practice

instinct which urges the population of

Telegraph furnishes one of the most inter-
estlng illustrations we have ever seen of
the manner in which cable telegraphv has
united the nations of the earth and en-.
abled men II all parts OF the world to join
in common celebrations and expressions
of sentiment. 1t publishes four columns
of dispatches from correspondents in ali
quarters of the globe; sending the saluta-
lions of the season ON Christmas Eve.
From Malta, Constantinople, Cairo, Bonn
bay, Singapore, Hong Kong. Batavia, Mel
bourne, ST. Johns, San Francisco, and all
the European capitals, m essages were sent
which comprised the incidents and events
of Christmas Eve, the prospects of the
coming day, social gossip, and the greet
ings appropriate to the occasion.
Thus the four continents, by the MAJ ic
of electricity, were made one, and the
world was eDcircled with the messages Of
=" coed will toward men" which flashed
under seas and across broad countries.

was heard at Smithsburg, Bidgeville,
and all through that region also at
same time at Middlekauff's, Downey's,
Hardscrabble, Zeller's, and Kershner's.
The sound in all those places is
similarly described as the distressed
