superstitiousness Of the First Napoleon


The memoirs of Count Segur, kept
back by the veteran authors desire
until his death, which happened
lately at Paris, at an extremely adj
vanced age, contributed in an inter
esting manner to our knowledge of
the great Emperor, whom the autobi-
ographer, though born and brought
up amid the full flavor of the old
~aristocracy of France, served as 10y
ally throughout the fortunes of the
First Empire as any of those who
won bran new titles under it. One
special popularity of Napoleon, his
innate fatalism, the genuine creed of
one of Southern lineage, is brought
into strong light. His belief in "the
sun of Austrelitz'' is commonly
spoken Of as a mere device to cheer
up his men when the wintry beams
shone out on the cold December
morning of his greatest victory.
But there is good reason, from other
passages in his life, to believe that
he was personally affected profoundly
by all sorts of omens. Among
other instances of this weakness made
apparent in "Segur's Memoirs is
his alarm at hearing the news of the
sudden burning of the Austrian
Ambassadors palace at Paris, then
tenanted by Schwartzenberg, during
the fetes held there to celebrate the
Imperial marriage with Maria Louise.
Long afterwards he connected this
event with the treachery of Austria,
guided by Prince Schwartzenberg,
towards himself in 1918, and express
ed great personal relief when report
came in, during the battle of Dresden
that the important parsonage seen
to be struck among the allied head
quarters staff by a French shot was
the Prince himself, the nominal COM
mander-in-chief. Unfortunately for
the truth of Napoleon's provision, it
turned out to be General Moreau,
whom he himself had banished on a
false charge from France, and SO
added to the number Of his enemies.
This was actually pointed out by the
Emperor afterwards as a special pun
ishment by Providence of the sol
diers of France who dared to take
arms against her. Schwartzenberg
survived to lead the allied host into
Paris the following year, and by oc-
cupying the house which had risen
on the ruins of that he was burnt
out Of no doubt confirmed Napoleon
more than ever, in the beliefin omens
which was as much part of his char
acaer as his military genius.

Of the genius of mankind has gone
into the business of beating Nature
in her own products. In l849, Prince
TorlOnia, the great Roman banker,
advanced 100000 francs to a Neap-
politan on a diamond SO large and
limpid and piercing in the polish of
its many facets that none but the
keenest connoisseur could distinguish
it from the famous sRegent.' AT

when the Judge called the plaintiff
and defendant aside, and after a con-
sultation, during which the three
mingled their tears, it was agreed
that the matter should be referred to
the lawyers and the Judge. Both
bothers finally signed an agreement
to end the suit where it was, and also
to drop other suits hat were pending

In the afternoon large piles Of the
glittering silver were counted out for
the pay-rolls of various tobacco fac
tories. 1t IA quite interesting to
follow this new money to its destina-
tion, and watch the sable employees who
of the factories received it, many of
them for the first time in their life.

wrapped the packages, such exclama-
tons as "Good Lord" "Huccum-

at the horses, and is petted by the

A physiognomist says that a large

through and beyond them ; the other
sees fewer things, but usually looks
keenly into them.

time since he has been in this coun-

continues in this way, he will return

civilization are the railroad eating

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

TO the Honorable the Judges Of the Court
of Gssseral Sssstons Of the PeacS and
Jstl Delivery:
The members of the Grand Inquest of the
State Of Delaware in the body of New Cas-
tie county would respectfully report that
they acted on PSI bills, of which number
they found 2l4 true bills, and ignored 81.
They consider 1t cause for congratulation
that ofthis number not one was for the
crimes of murder or arson. and with one
exception, they were in nearly every in
stance of the most trifing character.
They would also report that they visited
the county prison in their official capacity,
and except that many of the cells are over
crowded, found everything in excellent con
dition. In view of the fact of this over
crowding of the cells, 1t may be we'll to sug
geht that If some plan-a work-house or
other-could be adopted by which prisoners
could be compelled by their labor to sustain
Themselves In whole or part, taxation for
their maintenance might be materially re
duced and crime in measure suppressed, +,
on the principle that criminals, as q rule,
are averse to labor.
They would further report that portion
of their number visited the county aims
house and were well pleased with the con.
dition of the county wards anu their sur
roundings. In their opinion special praise
is due the Trustees of the Poor and others
having In charge the affairs of the Institu-
ton, for the careful and efficient manner,
as evinced by close inspection of all the
departments, in which they have discharged
the duties incumbent upon them.
In conclusion permit them to tender their
thanks to Your Honors and the officers of
the Court generally for the courtesies ex-
tended to them. All Of which is respect
fully submitted.
Signed on behalf of the Grand Inquest,
T. L. J. BALDWIN, Foreman.

Tho Day of Than ks.

By proclamation issued by the Governor
of the State, this will be recognized as
day of thanksgiving with our people. The
stores will be all closed, the banks suspend
I'd operations, and there will be services in
nearly If not all the churches. Tables
will bear the savory turkey, flow of wine
and Joy will be witnessed. But there are
thousands we are afraid the day brings no
such pleasures. "The poor ye have always
with you," is what we have been told
in holy writ, and In our own city we are
afraid there are many;and they are the ones
TO whom Thanksgiving day will bring no
pleasures. But there Is an old and very
trite saying, that one half of the world
knows not how the other half lives, and we
think that considering the numbers out of
employment, and the want, that there will
be many table to day that has not its tur-
key.
There will be no paper issued from this
Office tomorrow morning, but on the morn.
ing after there will be.

EDITOR OF THE herald Let me sug-
gest that you republish those portions of
the letters of acceptance of Gov. HAYES and
Mr.. Wheeler, as candidates for President
and Vice President, which referred to the
South, and the proper course to be pursued
in violance to that distracted section of
our country.
During the recent campaign, Democratic
speakers charged the Republicans with in
sincerity In their professions of a desire for
civil reform and sectional conciliation and
fraternity-and declares that If Mr.. Hayes
is really desirious of effecting those abso
lutely required changes, he would be pow
erless to bring them about. Publish If you
please, those pleasing professions, and let
the people draw the contrast between what
General Hayes and Mr.. Wheeler said ough
to be, and the lamentable facts as they are
daily passing in review. DEMOCRAT.
