Napoleon's Prediction ON Russia.

Now that the Turko. Russian war is
raging and ali eyes are turned to Con-
stantinople, the bone of contention of Ea-
rope, it may be Of interest to quote an
opinion given by Napoleon at st. Helena,
in 1917, to his surgeon, Barry O'Meara:
"In the course of few years." added
he, "Russia will have Constantinople, the
greatest part of Turkey, and all Greece.
This I hold to be as certain as if it had
already taken place. Almost all the
cajoling and fiatteripg which Alexander
practiced toward me was to gain my con-
sent to effect this object. would not
consent, foreseeing that the equilibrium
of Europe would be destroyed.
"In the natural course of things, in II
few years Turkey must fall to Russia.
The greatest part of her population are
Greeks, who, you may say, are Russians
The powers it would injure, and who
could opposeit, are England, France, Prus-
sia and Austria. Now, as to Austria, it
would be very easy for Russia to engage
her assistance by giving her Servia and
other provinces bordering upon the Aus
trian domnions, reaching near to Constan-
tinope. The only hypothesis that France
and England may ever be allied with sin
cerity will be in order to prevent this.
But even this alliance will not avail
France, England and Prussia united can
not prevent it. Russia and Austria can at
auy time effect it. Once mistress of Con-
stantinople, Russia gets all the commerce
ofthe Mediterranean, becomes great naval
power, and heaven knows what may hap.
pen. She quarrels with you, marches of
to India an army of 10000 good soldiers
which to Russia is nothing, and 100000
canaille, Cossacksan others, and England
loses India.
"Above all other powers Russia is most
to be feared, especially by you. Her
soldiers are braver than the Austrians,
and she has the means of raising as many
as she pleases. In bravery, the French
and English soldiers are the only ones to
be compared to them. All this l foresaw.
I see into futurity further than others,
and wanted to establish barrier against
these baEbarians by establishing the
kingdom of Poland, and putting Ponia-
towski at the head of it as king; but your
imbeciles of ministers would not consent.
A hundred years hence I shall be praised,
and Europe, especially England, will
lament that | did not succeed"

its collapsed state the air can enter it
from underneath and expand it. In case
of danger it is adjusted firmly on the
head, and the wearer then jumps boldly
from the window of the burning build

by it, the wearer comes down so gently

Exhibition at Mary's
Grove.



About 8 o'clock a. m, the
patrons and friends of the
school began to collect and by
10 o'clock hundreds Of people
were there to enjoy the feast of
reason and the flow OF soul that
usually chafacterizcs such oe-
casions. The exercises were
introduced with a speech from
Prof. Riycs, a part of which
was very well timed, and the
rest good enough, bat if we
were allowed TO criticize, we
would suggest that such sub
jects as State finances hardly
come in the domain Of literary
entertainments. Then Il sump-
tuous dinner was spread of
which all participated and found
themselves in an exceedingly
good hGmor. with every body
and every thing and prepared
to listen TO the chaste address
of Prof. O. S. Stewart on the
subject of the "lnfuence OF
Custom on Education" This
was purely a literary address
and in the Professors happiest
vein. This closed the daylight
entertainment. A few repaired
to their homes, bnt large num-
Der remained on the grounds TO
spend q pleasant hour in the
society of friends until the cam
delight service or exhibition
proper commenced. Then the
pupils of Prof. Green began
the entertainment assigned to
Them; and we had speeches and
dialogues, and some very sweet
music; the swan-like melody
of which made the welkin ring
all arranged with an eye to
variety, and when we began TO
discover the pains and patience
the excellent Professor had be-
slowed upon the children ana
wards, we felt like crying out
Ercelsior. An expert might
have discovered that it was o
new business to some of them,
but all acquitted themselves
creditabIy, satisfactorily to their
parents and honor to their in
structor. The best of order
characterized the whole pro-
ceedings. Everybody was
pleased and delighted with the
progress Of the pupils and with
the faithfulness of their instruc-
tor. AT late hour the assem-
bly, was dismissed by the Pro-
lessor in a fictitious manner, and
We repaired to our homes think
ing that we had a new illustra-
tion Of the lines
Full many a gem Of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear, |
Full many flower is born to blush unseen.

NJ The Bannock or Snake
Indians are not so formidable as to
justify the calling out of an extra
army for their suppression, and
when their total strength and
their pitiable condition is consid-
cred, all the warlike preparations
which their hostility has caused
assume the appearance of farce.
General Crook met with them In
council in April, and he reports
that he found them only half sup
plieI and reduced almost to star
walton. The tribe is divided into
bands of from ten to fifty, who
wander about through the country,
subsisting as they can upon Der.
ries, roots and fish. 1t is.estima.
ted that if their entire force Of
men could be concentra-
ted they would not exceed five
hun lred, and these are inferior as
warriors to the Nez Perces or the
Sioux. The Camas Prairies,
where they lately made demon
STATIONS, lie in fertile valleys
between the lava beds and the
Salmon River Mountains, and they
consist of about fifteen hundred
square miles of the most excel
lent land for agricultural purpos-
rs in the country. General Crook
has spoken his mind very plainly
in relation to the treatment
which the Bannocks have received
from the Government. He says
that in the recent Indian wars the
Bannocks were the firm friends
of the whites, and supplied them
scouts for pursuing the campaigns.
In return for these services they
lmplored General Crook to help
them when they were starving,
and he telegraphed to the agent
for supplies. The reply he re.
ceived was: "No appropriation.
General Crooks sympathies are
undoubtedly with the Bannocks
in this instance, and be asserts
that they have actually been driv-
en- by the Government into hos
tility with the whites.

The closing exercises Of B.
b. Wyatt's school came off
Friday, the 21st. 1t WAS the
writer's privilege to be present
at The day exercise, and | now
give YOU a short detail of it.
The programme was SO long il
is impossible for me to give it
in full, so | viii not attempt it.
About 10 o'clock the school
marched from the grove TO the
church, led by Messrs. j. Il
Bland and r. G. Wyatt as mu-
sicians, who made splendid mu-
sic during intervals of the ex-
ercises. The school consisted
of forty-one scholars, thirty-six
Of whom were under The age of
fourteen, and the prettiest little
girls and boys | ever saw. Each
performed SO well that it made
them appear still more lovely.
They bore three banners, to-
wit; 1st, eve must Educate, y
borne by two small boys. 2nd,
"Our First Attempt" borne by
two lovely little. girls about II
or u years Of age. 3rd, "In
God We Trust" borne by two
larger boys. Everything pre-
scented anice appearance.
The exercises were opened
by prayer by Rev. S. r. Stor-
mont. The opening address
was made by Miss Eva Wyatt,
and it was we'll delivered. Not
Il single failure in all the exer-
cises, nor did any one seem 10
be frightened in the least, but
when called upon they came
forward and acted in such a
manner as merited great praise
both for them and their instruc-
tor, and was a proof to all who
witnessed it, that Mr.. w. had
spared no pains in instructing
his pupils, and that he had done
his work faithfully and jealous
ly. The concert reading sur
passed any class | ever heard
and the declarations were de-
livercd with such eloquence as
is seldom heard from children.
The exercises continued till II
o'clock, when dinner was an
nounced ready. The school
marched to the grove where a
rich and bountiful dinner was
spread, of which all partook
freely. After a short time for
recreation, the audience assem-
bled at the church for the re-
naming exercises of the day,
which lasted two hours. The
yaledictory was delivered by
Miss Valley Cathey and it was
aceU delivered. The entire thing
was a success so far as I am ca
pable of judging, and l deeply
regret that l did not get to stay
for the concert and to hear Mr..
McKinney's address,, which /
am told was excellent.
