Napoleon and Dress.

Napoleon set apart $500 year for
dress, and had weakness for white
kerseymerc breeches. Being wholly often
absorbed with cares of state Gas courtly
chroniclcrs apologetcally observe), he
would constantly spill ink, or gravy, or
coffee upon the aforesaid garments, which
he FASTENED to change as soon as lie per-
ceivcd the mishap. This circums stance
cost the blamcless, but timid, Comte de
RGmusat his place as Master Of the Robes.
For the Emperor soiled his clothes, and
especially his white brecches, so frequent
ly and so gricvously, that the imperial
tailor on. L0ger) was constantly receiv-
ing fresh orders, and $500 Il year became
quite insufficient to meet that function
ary's little bills. Now the Comte de
RGmusat, who knew that the emperor
hated any disorder in his accounts, was
fOolishIy afraid to speak to him on the
subject. Meanwhile NJ. Leger, became
pressing in his demands for payment AT
first he sent in his bill every month, thea
every fortnight, then every week, then
twice week, then every day; but the
Master of the Robes continued to return
unsatisfactory answers. At length NJ.
Leger, whose patience was exhausted,
took the bold step Of complaining to the
en- peror in person, al the very moment
that his majesty was trying on anew uni.
form. With astonishment and anger
Napoleon learned that he owed his tailor
Ct, 200. The same day he paid the bill
and dismissed NJ. de Remusat from his
post, which was given to NJ. de Monies.

THE importance of some of the odd in.
dustries, as they are sometimes termed, is
shown in striking manner in the single
article of human hair, especially in
France. In one city alone, Mar4pilles,
the annual quantity imported some six or
seven years ago did not exceed, it is
stated, sixteen tons, while ii had increased
in 1878 to fifty, in 1875 to eighty, and in
1875 two ninety-two tons. Formerly all
this hair came from Italy, but that cOun.
try has been unable to meet the incrcas-
ing demand, and brisk trade has been
opened with the extreme East. Thus, Of
the ninety.two tons imported last year,
forty three came from Italy, while China
supplied thirty.six, Turkey FIVE, and ia
pan three tons, the remainder being made
up by Egypt, India, Germany, Belgium.
Spain, and Algeria. The total quantity
imported into France last year was val
ned at 100000.

The Most Precious of Gifts.

Health is undeniably more precious gift
than riches, honor or power. Who would
exchange it for these, the chief objects of
human ambitions 1t is obviously the part
OF wisdom to employ means for the preser.
which time and experience have proved to
be reliable. Many of the dangers by which
health is threatened may be nulified by the
use of that most irresistible OF correctiyes
and t0nics, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which, by Increasing vital power and rem
dcring the physical functions regular and
active, keeps the system in good working
order and protects it against disease. For
constipation dyspepsia, liver complaint, ner-
yousncss, kidney and rheumatic ailments, it
is invaluable, and it affords a sure defence
against malarial ieyers, besides removing
every trace Of such disease from the system

Superstition in Soldiers.

Two weeks ago | cut from local pa
per here this paragraph: "Skobeletf is a
iatalist, and what brilliant soldiers are
noti lie rides gray horses in battle and
has had as many rs four killed under him
in one day. He does not like gray
horses, however, and would not ride them
at all if he had not begun the campaign
on u gray horse. If he were to exchange
now, he says, he could never be the same
man to his soldiers, because his soldiers
believe that the Turks have had especial
orders to kill, if they can, every man
upon gray horse. He is "A tatallst,
however, to the extent Of believing that
he can never be killed while riding a
gray horse in battle, but he does not like
them because they get so many OF his
brother officers killed" This paragraph
at once brought to my mind similar
superstition on the part of General 10,
Shelby of Missouri, under whom | served
throughout the entire war. His color
was sorrel. He firmly believed, and used
often to say, that he would never be killed
in a fight while he rode sorrel horse.
And the fact seemed to bear him out in
this. He was wounded three times during
the war, but never once while riding a
sorrel horse. He had twenty four horses
killed under him in the various engage
ments where he was not hit, and in every
single instance where the horse was hit
and the rider escaped the horse was Il sor-
rel. Once, at Springfield, ball struck
Shelby fair in the middle Of the forehead
1t knocked him clean from his stirrups-
something difficult to do, for he was a
splendid rider--and back over his horse
and heavily upon the ground. Those
about him thought him killed, but he
was on his feet in a secoLd and on his
horse in another, saying, in the cool tones
Of an ordinary conversation: ~ cannot
be killed to-day, for | am riding sorrel
horse" Sure enough, the brm of his
large felt hat had caught the ball and
broke its force. 1t knocked him fran
his saddle and drew blood, but beyond
this no other harm was done. Indeed, !
have watched Skobeletf's career closely y
during the Russia Turkish war, and, &C.
cording to my idea of things, there is
much in common between this dashng
soldier and General Shelby. Both had
the same power over men. Both were
supremely Indifferent in battle. Both
were superstitious. Both loved hard
fighting, desperate charges and enter.
prses that were considered impossible
Both were military dandies--that is tc
say, both were fond of gold lace, snowy
uniforms, silver spurs, floating pumes
splendid saddle trappings and thorough.
bred horses. Both always said to their
men, Come on" never $50 on!' Both
were doized by their soldiers, and both
had the same fatalistic ideas of the kind
of color their horses had to be to make
;he riders safe.-Cor. cf tie Sedalia Dem.

The Universally Of Superstition.

All persons, we believe, are more or
less supcrstitious. Their reason teaches
them better; but it is impossible to
eradicate notions imbibed in childhOod
or youth, when tho impressions, 50 easily
made, are AZ the same time most durable
in their nature. What difference can 1t
possibly make whether one sees the new
moon over his left shoulder or his right
>houlderl Common sense answers, none
at ALL Yet most intelligent women c&-
prrienCe u sort Of shudder or chill II they
happen to catch the first glimpse OF the
new moon in the western sky over the
l,ft shoulder. They know perfectly we'll
that this is superstition-it is ridiculous,
they know it is-but somehow or other,
they will 90 on, wondering to themselves
whether there can be anything in IT, and
whether they are any more likely to have
bad luck for the coming month than
they would have been if they had first
discovered the narrow crescent over the
right shoulder.
Sailors are proverbially superstitious,
and their superstitions assume muluta
rious forms. They have the greatest
aversion to sailing on new voyage on
Friday. Many persons are extremely
superstitious about beginning any new
unde rtaking on Friday. They think it
is certain not to succeed. 1t may be re-
marked that such superstition helps to
execute itself; for any one who, from
whatever cause, has no confidence IN bis
own success, no matter what he is en-
gagged in, insures, by his self distrnst, his
failure.
We saw it stated, recently, that the
Hon. George p. Marsh, formerly our
Minister at Constantinop!e, had been de-
tained over day ut Rome, where he had
hired a house, because the owner would
not execute lease on Friday. Old as
the Eternal City is, it is evident from
this that she has not outgrown her super
stitions. In truth, they are very diff
cult, when once imbibed, for individuals
to outgrow. We hear some uneducated
person making fun of auother's supersti.
tions, and presently discover, by some
chance inciden', that he himself is
equally subject to some superstitious be-
lief, which, though different, is no less
childish and ridiculous.
The prevalence of superstition in this
enlightened city at the present day may
be judged of by the fact that one of oul
morning journals publishes the advertise
mcnts Of no less than seven astrologers
These so.Called astrologers and the class
known as the spiritual medium are con
suited, not by the ignorant alone, but by
cultivated persons, in good society Ever
business men apply to them for direction
in their pecuniary transactions. 1t was
stated of Il man reputed to be the riches
citizen of Michigan, who died few years
since, that he never engaged in any mat
ter OF importance without first comforting
with well.known spirituaist. His will
however, it may be added, was very
properly contested on the ground o
insanity.
In one sense all superstitions are evi
dences of insanity. None Of them res
