triumph in the keen flash Of his eye-it

"Spare the Baron De Kalb," cried the
Adjutant, Dubuyson, vainly throwing
himself upon his body and trying to
shield il with his own from the thirsty

She PADDLED HER Own EoAr.-The
train was approaching Atlanta, and the
obliging conductor went up to the home
ly old lady who was evidently travelling
alone, and said:
MADAME, have you a companion?"
"Oh, yes, Martha Ann made me fetch
along her little black rikikule that she
call kumpanyun!'
"No! no mean an escort"
"A what, sir? and she looked at him
hard enough to break her spectacles.
"Afellow traveller with ycu?" exclaim-
ed the conductor desperately.
She rose. Her uplifted hand looked
deadly in its black mitten garniture.

ATTENDING TO BUSINESS. Recently q
foreign embassy sought the assistance
of the English police to find a young
girl who had just become the heiress of
many millions. The instructions were
vague, and the task was necessarily
given to one of the keenest detectives.
At the end of six weeks the detective
reported at headquarters and handed
in his resignation. "Well," said the
chief, land what about the young girl?"
II found her about month ago in o

"And what then?" II married her yes

oApi"nations. There is foolish story.
70 which so eminent man as Southey

Admiral villeneuve was assassinated by
order OF the Emperor after his disgrace
at Trafalgar. There can be no serious
doubt that the unfortunate Commander
committed suicide in sheer terror at the
idea OF an interview with the stern mas
ter whose plans he had caused to mis-
carry. 1t is fair to addEthat those of
his captains who we're successful had no
need to complain that their services
were insufficiently appreciated. Even
Massena had acquired an income Of
800, 900 while his star was in the as
cendant. Soult had 100000 a year;
Ney nearly $3.50, 900 ;Davoust $3.50, 600;
while Berthier, Prince of Neuchatel, en-
joyed a princely revenue of some $780,

have made them too rich." It may be
suspected that it was rather from mo-
tives of policy than Of gratitude that
Napolean thus created the fortunes Ct
his Mnrshals in a day. He was anxious
to establish as a support to his throne
a powerful aristocraey, which in splendor
and Ito do him justice in the brilliancy
Of its achievements should rival the old
nobility of France. He forgot, howev-
er, that though monarchy and democra-
cy can exist and have existed without
prescription, an aristocracy to be vener-
able must absolutely bear the seal of
antiquity. In none Of mis- projects had
Cromwell failed m,re hopelessly than
in his attempt to reconstruct the House
of Lords in England. Napoleon, it is
true, did not propose to confer legisla-
tive functions on his mobiles as such;
nevertheless he intended them to be a
privileged class, and this alone was
more courageous than wise idea on the
