NapoIeon's second Marriage,

A writer reviewing Lanfrey's Histoire
de Napoleon |. says: The circum-
stances attending the divorce OF Jose
phine and her husbands marriage with
Marie Louise are detailed at consider
able length by the author. On the 18th
December, 1909 before the Metropolitan
Tribunal bad confirmed the dissolution
of the religious marriage with Josephine,
Caulaincourt, the French Ambassador
at st. Petersburg, opened negotiations
for the hand Of the Grand Duchess Anne,
sister Of the Gear. A project Of con-
vention between the two powers in
respect of the affairs Of Poland was then
under discussion. Its principal articles
were: l. A reciprocal engagement not
to suffer the re-establishment of the king
dom of Poland 2 The suppression Of
the name of Poland and Polish in
ell public and private documents.
The suppression of the old orders Of
Polish chivalry, and Of all autonomy Of
the duchy OF Warsaw Alexander, the
sincerity of whose admiration for Napo.
leon is questioned by NJ Laufrey, was
adverse to the match, but would proba-
bly, have consented to it as the price OF
the French adhesion 10 the project of
convention. He therefore returned
courteous answer to Caulaincourt's
proposal, protesting, nevertheless, that
the decision did not rest with him alone,
a ukase of the Emperor Paul having
left to the empress mother the disposal
Of her daughters in marriage He would
endeavor, however, to obtain her consent.
AZ fortnight later the ambassado, re-
ceived instructions to demand categor-
ical answer from the Gar in ten days.
The reason of this singular ultimatum-
unexampled in the annals of official
courtship-was that Napoleon had
already changed his mind. he had no
liking for the Polish convention, which
would have deprived him OF useful
weapon against Russia; moreover, the
Grand Duchess was but sixteen, and her
relations asked for delay Of one or two
years. Napoleon, with his habitual inn
patience, would not hear of this eoudi-
ton, and Austria having spontaneously
suggested an alliance between the courts
of Vienna and the Tuileries, the mar
riage with the Archduchess Maria Louisa
had been virtually decided upon before
an answer from St. Petersburg could pos
sibly have arrived. 1t is fortunate that
the invention of the electric telegraph
was postponed till the fall of man who
would have made such terrible use of
them Even the success Of Wellington
might have been arrested could the EN-
peror have communicated daily and
hourly with his lieuteuauts.

TheIron mask.

The following snecdote was related to
Charles Sumner by General Cass, and is
given in A. B. Johuson's "Recolectons
of Charles Sumner" in Soribner for
July:
When General Csss was Minister to
France. he became somewhat intimate
with the then King of the French, Louis
Philippe. One day when they were
alone the General requested permission
to ask question.
Ask what you please" the King re-
sponded.

your Majesty tell me anything about the
Man in the Iron Mask o.
HAh," replied Louis, somewhat
amazed, yes, will tell you all know
about it. When / returned from Amer
lea, Immediately upon seeing my cousin,
Count d Artois, |, evincing this same Gu.
riosity, asked him whether he could tell
me anything about the mystery. Only
this replied the Count; once, in ram
bling through the Tuileries, | found my
self in the apartments of the Queen
Marie Antoinette. Parting the curtains
which concealed me from her eyes, saw
her on her knees before the King "In
mercy's name" she said, Sire, tell mel
who eas the man in the Iron Mask2"
i cannot tell you" answered Louis
XVI sternly, II learned it from my
predecessor, and can tell it only to my
successor. But this l will tell you: if
you knew who it was, you would be
greatly disappointed at the curiosity

STONES OF SIZE.

Some of the blocks of granite used in
the construction of the treasury build.
ing ut Washington arc the largest ever
moved in this country, and were all
carried from the eastern part of Maine.
They were transported to Washington
by water, and, after their arrival there,
moved by oNpower upon Il double pull
ley system, Il distance of two miles, to
the spot where they were wanted for
use. The work Of moving them was
performed with comparative ease, not
more than eight or ten yoke of oxen
being employed to move II block of
more than seventy tons weight. The
huted pillars, great numbers Of which
are used i'll the building, are forty feet
long and weigh fifty tons,at least. The
largest blocks, thirty to forty feet square
and thirty feet thick, weighed upward
of seventy tons. The facility with
which these large blocks were moved
and fixed in their places was 4 source
of wonderment, and seemed to admlr-
ing spectators to be the perfection of
mechanical skill and ingenuity. And
yet, how insignificant the achievement
when compared with the triumphs Of
ancient art. In the foundation Of the
great temple of tho sun, ut Balbec, may
still be seen, even in tho second course,
stones which are thirty-seven feet long
and nine feet thick and under these,
about twenty feet from the ground,
three stones which alone occupy one
hundred and eighty-two feet in length
by twelve in height. These three
stones are estimated to weigh nine hum
drctl tons each.
But weread ofan Egyptian idol tenn
pie, Baris, far surprising this, in which
there was II sanctuary composed ofa
single block ofgranite sixty feet square.
This is the largest and heaviest stone
mentioned in history.

There arc places in Africa where tho
process O! disintcgration of salt from

not water power enough to force ii on

arc spread abroad and mixed with tho
soil. The negroes of northern Africa

where there is no water to dissolve in
the ground leach it. In that way they
separate the salt. Salt pervadcs tho

TIE NEW TARIFF.

The first ruling made by the commits
sioncr of internal revenue under tho
provisions of the new tax and tariff law,
was in reference to the time OF taking
effect OF the now rates on spirits and
tobacco, and was us follows: That col
lcctors may resume the sale of stamps
for distilled spirits in the cistcrn room
or warchous" prior to midnight of tho
third instant at seventy cents per
gallon, and may make rc4uisition for
stamps for spirits produced from that
date. All spirits produced in tho cistcrn
room or warehouse after midnight on
the third instant will bc liable to Il tax
of ninety cents per gallon, according to
the provisions of the new bill.
Tobacco or cigars in the hands of
manufacturers, legally packed and
property stamped prior to midnight of
the third instant viii be charged ut tho
oid rate of twenty cents, but after that
time the tax OF twenty-fpur cents will
be imposed.

WAsHINGToS, Feb. 27.--'rhe force
bill being on its passage in the House,
the following scene ocurrcd:
While the roll was being called, the
most intense anxiety was manifested on
the floor as to the result. The Speaker
had placed Mr.. Cessna in the chair. and
had come down to the desk of the
Journal Clerk, where he watched the
names as they were::marked off. a large
number of members collected around
the desk, among whom was Butler,
who seemed to resent the keen interest
Mr.. Blaine was taking in the result.
Presently point OF order was made
by u member on the Democratic side
OF the House, that members should not
stand around the Clerks desk while the
roll was being called. The point Of
order was sustained, and members
were directed to take 'hcir seats.
Every one left except the Speaker.
In II few seconds Butler left his seat
and marched up to within few feet
of where Blaine was standing. \
member said to him, in tone audible
in the Immediate vicinity of the chair,
"General, you have been turned away
from there once; why are you going
again?''
Butler replied ina loud and insolent
manner, 81 have as much right to be
there ms the Speaker"
AS If struck by cannon ball, Blaine
jumped up, and in tho most passionate
tones demanded by what right the
gentleman from MASSACHUSETTS declar-
ed that he had the same rights as tho
Speaker, to which Butler, walking out
in front of him, answered, HMy right
AS Il member of tho House. When the
Speaker leaves the chair, his place is on
the tloor.'
This seemed. to cnragc Blaine still
more, while it rivcted the attention of
the whole house. A pin might almost
have been heard to drop, and tho occu
pants OF the galleries strained forward
to watch every incident in the strange
and extraordinary scene that was
taking place beneath them.
Butler then went to his scat, and
made from ii the point of order almost
in the identical words he had uttered
in response to Blainc's persona! inter
rogatory.
Some confusion followed, and Blaine
bounded into tho chair and ncrvously
raped for order. Coming down again
he gave the gavcl to Cessna and rcsum
cd his position near the tally desk.
his seat and took the place from which
he had been driven.
Blaine, at the fresh. audaclty, became
furious, and turning round To Cessna
demanded that he rule Butler down,
saying i'll a hoarsc and angry under
tone, intended for CcSSna'ss oar, but
which was plainly heard in the rcpor-
terS' gallery above: "I will not be in
suited in this way. l will have II set
tlcment with him."
Cessna then refused to sustain the
point of order made by Butler, and
Blaine remained master OF the situi-
ton, Butler going to his scat. Tho
whole scene did not last more than five
minutes, but it was absolutely thrilling
while it continued, and it really looked
at one time rs if it would bc settled
with Il blow instead of the more pea
ceablc manner of parliamentary rule
and precedent.
