THE MONIENT OF FEAR.

Bonaparte lost four aides-de-camp during the short time he was in Egypt. One of them, ,Croisier, appearing to Napoleon to lack the proper degree of boldness at the proper moment, he burst out against him in one of his violent and huiniliating at tacks of abuse and contempt. The word coward escaped him; Croisier determined not to survive it j. he sought death on sev- eral occasions, but did not succeed till the siege of Acre. He was in attendance on Napoleon in the trenches there, when such sharp lookout was kept by the garrison that if an elbow or feather showed itself above or beside them, it was immediately grazed by bullet. Croisier watched his opportunity and jumped upon the platform
 "Come down, command you!" cried Ma poleon, in voice of thunder; but it was too late; the victim of his severity fell at his feet. Murat, the chivalrous braver of all danger, had also his moment of fear, which lost the countenance of his general until disoleasure could no longer resist the brilliancy Df his achievements. It was at the siege of Mantua, in the first Italian campaign that Murat was ordered to charge body of troops that were making sortie from the garrison. He hesitated, and in his confusion declared himself wounded; he was removed from the pres- ence of the general, and in every way dis countenanced. In, Egypt he was sent out on the most distant and dangerous ser vices; in short, he more than reconquered his character before the battle of Aboukir, on which occasion Napoleon himself was obliged to declare that he was superb. The brave Marshal Lannes one day severely rep. rimanded colonel who had punished a young officer for moment of fear "That man," said he. is worse than g poltroon who pretends he never knows fear"

MARVELLOUS CURE OF HICCUPs.

curious case has just occurred at the Children's Hospital in Paris. A girl of 12 was at school recently, and during-a thun- derstorin the electric fluid fell close to het. For moment she seemed to be suffocating, but this sensation soon passed of into a fit of hiccups. These became so distress ing that after three days the mother took her to the hospital for advice. The sur- geon ordered her to be taken to the oper- ating theatre, where, on seeing the medical man standing at table covered with some awful-looking instruments, and surrounded by number of assistants in white aprons, the child became so terrified that she for got her hiccups, which did not recommence, and she was thus cured.

He Will Raise Thunder.

No barber knoweth whom he
may shave, and the man who
rushes INTO a barber shop, and
drops into. a barber chair, with
out seeing who occupies the next
chair to the right or left may get
badly left, as a case proved
yesterday. A solid old citizen
in the wholesale trade was TAX
ing it easy, his face covered with
lather, when in came young
man who flung off his coat,
bounced into a chair, and called
out: e
"Hurry up, now, for I must
get back to the store before old
Blank does Or he will raise thun-
der! Hang him, he won't even
give man time TO die!"
The solid citizen turned his
face to glance at the, other, and
the barber noticed a reddening
of his face.
"Going on a vacation this
summer?" asked the barber, who
was preparing to shave the young
man.
"Vacation ! How in the To-
|phet can I get away from old
Blank? And if / could he pays
such a stingy, contemplate sal
ary that / couldn't afford even a
ride on a ferry boat?p fKsS
"Why don't You ask him for
a raise?" queried the barber. {
"Why don't I ask him for the
hand ofhis freckled-nosed daugh-
ter? He'd discharge me in a
minute, though he's making
money and can afford it. If the
old hyena would have stroke
of apoplexy the junior partner
might do something, but such
chaps always live to be hun
dred years DID," 1-A-4E
Conversation ceased here, the
solid old man got out of his chair,
took a brushing and sat down,
and when the clerk arose from
his chair and turned around
snow-balls would have looked
black beside his face. He tried
to bow and speak, but something
wouldn't let him, and when he
started to put on his coat he
held it tail up and collar down.
He was still struggling with it
when the solid man rose up, look
| ed around and walked out, say
ing not a word. The barber wet
the young mans head and held
cologne to his nose, but he walk
ed sideways when he went out,
and there was an uncertain wob-
bic to his knees. In applying
for the vacant position to-day
state what shop you shave at.
