by, Capt James Nicholson. When
Tripoli was bombarded in 1904. she
was the flag ship Of Commodore Pre-

with Capt. Charles Stewart in com

Do YOU speak that You do know and teS-

no courts there during your stay! l
think quite likely, for As II Is a reforma-

must bc looked after, and the inmates
guarded and protected from bad aSsoci"-

NapoIeou's Treatment OF his Gcncr

He was born king, if to command the
obedience Of men be the whole art Of
k,ngship, which may perhaps be doubted.
He seems in general to have acted on the
plan of Frederick the Great; that is, he
demanded nothing but success from his
leutcnautS, and was careless % the means
they took to obtain IT.. Only failure he
would never forgive. 1t was n favorite
saving OF his that he never judged men
but bv results. 1t was 10 no purpose that
Ma>.cna gave excellent reasons for his
defeat by Wellington: Napoleon wanted
victories, and not explanations. There
Is n foolish story, to which 50 eminent II
man MS Suuthcv could give credcnce, to
the effect that Admiral Nilleneuve WAS
sssassinated bv order of the Emperor af-
ter his disgrace II. 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 master whose plans he had caus-
cd to mI,carry.
Il i fair to add that those OF his cap
tnins who were successful had no need to
complain that their services were INSULT
GENTLY appreciated. Even MaSscna had
ACQUIRED an income of 100000 while his
star was in the ascendant. Soult had
100000 "a year; Ney nearly $4,000;
Davuust $4,000; while Berthicr, Prince
OF Nruchatcl, enjoyed II prlnccly revenue
of some $4,000. They will no longer
1 fignt,' Napoleon once exclaimed IN a
moment OF detection, referring TO his gen
erals. IL have made them too rich.
1t may be suspected that it was rather
from motives OF policy than of gratitude
that Napoleon thus created the fortunes OF
his mar>hals in day. He was anxious
to establish rs n support to his throne n
powerful aristocracy which in splcndor
and ito DO him ju>ilcc) IN the brlIancy
| of its achievements should rival the old
nobility of France He forgot, however
that though monarchy and democracy
/ can exist and have existed without pre-
Scrip,ion, an ari>tocracy to be venerable
/ must absolutely bear the seal of antiquity.
I In none OF his projects had Cromwell
| failed more hopcics,Iy than in his attempt
To construct the House of Lords in Eng
land. Napoleon, it is true, did not pro-
nose TO confer legislative function on his
mobiles AS such; nevertheless he intended
them to be privileged class, and this
alone WAS more courageous than wise

ara fyy. OrtydCr.

Trouble Between President Monroe
and Craw rd of q eorgia.

III the seventh volume of the
Memoirs Of John Quincy Adams there
is curious account of what came near
being a physical battle between Presi-
dent Monroe and Crawford, his Secre-
tary of the Treasury, Crawford was, We
believe, a mnn Of gigantic stature. Mr.
Adams heard of this and asked South
hard if he knew anything about it.
He said, yes; that one day last win
ter, on coming here on business, he found
Mr.. Monroe walking to and fro across
the room in grea. agitation; that he told
him Crawford had left him; he had come
to him concerning the nomination Of
certain officers. of the customs in the
northern ports; that Crawford recon-
mended the nomination of several per-
sons against whom Mr.. Monroe express
ed several objections; that Mr.. Craw-
ford at last rose in irritation; gathered
the papers together and said petulently.
We'll, If you will not appoint the per-
sons well qualified, for the places, tell me
whom you will appoint, that may get
rid Of their opportunities Mr., Monroe
replied with great warmth, saying that
he considered CrawforI's language sS
extremely improper and unsuitable to
the relations between them; when Craw-
ford, turning to him raised his cane, as
in an attitude TO strike, and said, you
-infernal old scoundrel! Mr.. Monroe
seized the tongs at the fire place for self
defence, applied retaliatory ePlthet TO
Crawford, and told him he would lmmedl-
ately ring for servants himself, and turn
him out of the house; upon which Mr..
Crawford beginning to recover himself,
said he did not intend and had not in
tended to insult him, and left the house.
They never met afterwards
