From tho Louisville Ledger.
This watch is now in the possession o.
j. II. Klarenaar, Esq, OF this city, who
has the following record regarding it;
Sometime about the years 1912 or 1918
while travelling in coach and si1
through Holland, on visit 70 the Hague
Napoleon passed through the fortress Of
Nemwegen. A procession was formed,

under the Emperor in his campaigns

rage became unmanageable, the vehicle
was run on the verge Of precipice, and
was on the point OF turning over, when,
with a reckless disregard Of his own life,
one Wilhelm Behnen dashed through the
crowd and between the frightened horses
and the brink, and succeeded in arrest
ing them.
Napoleon alighted from his carriage
aud inquired his rescuer's name, at the
same time offering him, as a recognition
Of his service, a commission in the
army, but Mr.. Behnen declined the
offer. The Emperor then asked him
why he had endangered his own life to
save him, and was so well pleased with
the answer that he took his watch from
pocket and presented it to him.
Mr.. Behnen afterward kept the post
haus, or postoifice, at the village OF
Elten, and at his death the watch fell to
the possession Of Theodore CARTS, an
uncle Of Mr.. Klarenaar, where it re-
NAMED until within few weeks. Mrs.
Klarenaar, mother Of the present owner,
has been on visit to Germany during
the past FIVE months, and on her recent
return brought the trophy home with her
as a present to her son from his uncle.
The works are set in gold urn, on

it is the balance wheel, pivoted on

rangement is inclosed in crystals on
both sides, but protected on the back by

Dentists By the Hour.
From the Boston Commercial Bullotin.l

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.l
Our fashionable heightened den.
lists have made new departure in the
conduct of their business. Instead OF
taking a mans mouth by contract, and
charging a lump price for the torture
they have inflicted upon him, it is now
proposed to do hour work exclu-
sively, the price being fixed at FIVE dol
lars for every sixty minutes work with
forceps and files, to say nothing eff those
soothing scrapers with which these gen.
try delight to fondle a tender tooth.
There will be no hurry now, and the
patient may rest assured that although
time is money" it is, in this in
stance, his money to gain which the
artist will linger lovingly over each gap
ing cavity, and by the aid of delicate
steel hook, daily with tender nerve to
while the time away. There is some
relief when the washerwoman's boy
drops in to bring fresh supply Of nap
kins, wherewith to smother the profanity
that is but too apt to come to the sur
face in dentists chair, especially fthe
dentist, never dealing in small sums, has
nothing smaller than an X with him,
and is compelled to visit neighbor for
the change; but even the comfort which
the respite brings loses it charms when
the victim reflects that these minutes
precious indeed-are just as costly as
though the dentists were subjecting him
to the most ingenious and exquisite tor
ture.

Hooks Hoax.

The incidents in the life of Hook
comprise many in which that unscrupu-
lous man played the part of hoaxer.
One of his victims was Romeo Costes, a
man about town in the days of the Re-
gency--a beau, an amateur actor, who
delighted in riding the streets st the
West End in bedizened pink coat of
extraordinary shape One day this in
dividual received an invitation to a
magnificent entertainment given by the
Prince Regent at Carlton House. He
was almost crazy with joy at the honor;
dressed and adorned to the highest
attairable pitch, he drove in his fanci-
full chariot to Carlton House. The card
of invitation passed him safely through
all the cutter portals and corridors; but
when a private secretary or chamber
lain at length scrutinized it, he pro-
nounced it to be forgery. In vain did
poor Romeo Coates protest that he
knew nothing of any forgery or hoax;
he was turned back; and as his equip
age had driven away he had to pick his
way to the nearest hackney coach stand.
It turned out that Theodore Hook had
initiated an invitation card, one
veritable specimen of which he had con-
trived to obtain the loan of for a few

Yellow Fever.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
Because the death rate for two days
past has fallen to twelve or fourteen
deaths per day, many of our citizens
are elated with the hope that the fever
is about to disappear. Be not deceived,
gentlemen In 1867 we lost our best
citizens from yellow fever as late as the
26th of November. For forty or fifty
days yet, in all human probability,
we must combat the disease. AS
truly remarked by writer in
the Appeal, we may look for fur
Their loss of three hundred or more lives.
Forty days at even twelve per day-how
many that is any one may calculate for
himself. We cannot pdit for frost to res
cue us. We must work for our own res
cue. Let us disiniect thoroughly-as
thoroughly as Butler did New Orleans
Happy Hollow and the Navy Yard
grounds. Let the city authorities put a
large force of men at work Immediately,
and let them disinfect these places in the
mode to be recommended by our scien-
tifc physicians. We may thus make
Roadway against disease that is ravag-
ing the fever district more fearfully than
even Shreveport has suffered. Don't
say, 1t is too late. 1t won't do to dig
and disturb the soil in that region" 1t
is not necessary to dig, nor turn up the
foul soil to the sun. DiSinfectiOn is re
quired, and is the only remedy left us.

strange Duel-BOIh Run Through.


From the Atlanta constitutional
Colonel Lay (rising with a profound
bow)-Yes, Colonel, / have heen engaged
in forty-two affairs of honor as principal
and second, and / concur with you fully
in your suggestions. 1t is the duty of a
second to prevent resort to arms il
possible. recollect in one of the first
duels ever fought l came very near
losing my life by having a fool for a
second. He allowed me to fight the
best swordsman in Europe with a rspier.
|, at that time, was not so proficient as
| am now in the use of that weapon, and
considered my life as good as lost, but
met my antagonist, and after parrying a
few of his thrusts, was compelled to al
low him to pass his sword entirely
through my stomach, the point coming
out at my backbone. As | stood thus
transfxed, it occurred to my mind to do
an act which have never heard of being
equalled before or since. |, with my
left hand, with remarkable presence of
mind, GOODNESS and frmness, seized my
adversary's blade, holding it SO firmly
that he could neither turn it or pull it
out, and in that position plunged my
sword entirely through my adversary's
left breast up to the hilt, just one inch
and half above his heart; and, what is
remarkable is, that we both recovered.
