We wish it to be remembered by
every tax payer in the county that we
proposed to publish the Treasurer's
Tax Notice as the law requires for
Twenty Five Dollars, and that Mr..
Karr refused our offer and paid the
New Lexington Herald and Tribune,
each, One Hundred and Eighteen
Dollars and Eighty One Cents. This
is one of the reasons why the ring and
the old broken down politicians want
him reelected.

Napoleon the Great.
International Review

When Napoleon became Emperor he strove in vain to make the troubled and feve' ish years of his power to .produce Q literature. He himself was one ofAthe most voracious readers of novels that ever lived. He was always asking for the newest of the new, and unfortunate ly even the new romances of his period were hopelessly bad. Barbier, his librarian, had orders to send parcels of fresh fiction to his Majesty wherever he might happen to be, and great loads of novels followed Napoleon to Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia. The conqueror was very hard to please. He read in his travelling carriage, and after skimuling q few pages would throw d volume that bored him out Of the window into the highway. He n ght have been tracked by his trail of romances, as was Hop-o'- My-Thumb, in the fairy tale, by the white stones he dropped behind him. Poor Barbier, who ministered to pas sion for novels that demanded twenty volumes day was at bis wits end. He tried to foist upon his Majesty the TO- mances of the year before last, but these NIpoleon had generally read, and he re- fuse1 with imperial scorn to look at th'hi hf,ntAis AiC pthtitu tIdNElliiE library of 5000 volumes to be made for him, but it was proved that the task could not be accomplished wi hin six years. The expense, if only fifty vol umes Of each example had been printed, would have amounted to more than 5000, ,000f A Roman emperor would not have allowed these considerations to stand in his way, but Napoleon, after all, was a modern. He contented him self with selection of books conve- niently small in shape and packed in sumptuous cases. The classical writers of France could never content Napoleon, and even from Moscow, in 1872, he wrote 10 Barbier clamorous for new books and good ones. Long before they could have reached Moscow Napoleon was flying homeward before Koutousoir and Ben ningsen
