Then calls were loud aud long for
"Hillyer," ''Lewis," "Woodburn," aud
Others, but the hour was early even then
and no one responded. Then came re-
nswsd calls, and Judge Lewis appeared
in one OF the Opera House boxes and
declared that he favored the Crawford

FACTS ABOUT GOLD.

Professor Egleston, of the School
of Mines, Columbia College, remarks,
that it was formerly supposed that
gold was to be found only in or on
ozoic and paleozoic formations. When
the California Whitney discovered it
in the jurassic, it was a revelation. 1t
is now found in the deposits of all
ages. By gold he means a yellow
which contains a quantity
of pure gold, mixed with other SUBJ
stances, of which silver is usually one.
1t is common to consider the quantity
Of gold in the world as large, but there
is only $7,OOO,OO0,OOO worth, which is
about half pure gold and half silver.
The annual production is about $780,
100000 worth, and the production has
decreased Il per cent. during the last
thirty years. The production of sill.
yer has, however, increased 100 per
cent, and now equals that of gold.
One-third of the gold goes in wear and
tear, one.third goes into circulation,
and one third into the arts and manu-
factures. All the gold in the world
would make a pile only twenty-five
feet wide, and forty.tiye feet long, and
twenty-five feet high.

Having bought my Furni-
ture and Crockcry stock for
the Spring and Summer trade
before the recent advance in
values, / can, and will, sell at
prices but slightly in advance
from those of last July, at
which time the bottom was
reached.
Now, / mean business! No
House in Northern Ohio shall
make lower prices on Furni-
ture and Crockery, and many
will not be able to make as
low.
1t is not necessary to EMU
merate articles on which spe-
cial bargains are offered. My
stock is complete, and every
article is a bargain at the
present prices. Don't do as
you have done before-wait
for lower prices. Present
prices are more favorable to
your interests than you will
see again for some time.
Thankful for your liberal
patronage in the past, l solicit
a continuance of favOrs, and
will endeavor to advance our
mutual interests.

TIRE GREAT NAPOLEON.

Bonaparte is Of small stature and
not well prOportioned, the upper part
of the body seeming to press upon the
lower portion. He has scanty chest
nut hair and gray blue eyes. His
complexion was yellow as long as he
was thin, but later it became dead
white, without the least color. The
expression of his forehead, the setting
of his eyes, the lines of the nose-all
this is fine and reminds one of antique
medalIions. His rather common
mouth becomes attractive when he
laughs. His teeth are regular, his
chin somewhat short. He has small
feet and hands, which must be noticed
because he takes good care Of them.
In standing or walking he bends lit
tie forward. His eyes, usually dull,
give to his face when in repose mel
oncholy expression, but when he is
angry his glance becomes suddenly
sharp and threatening. His smile be-
comes him well; it disarms and reju-
venates his entire person, and in such
moments it is difficult to Withstand his
winning expression, so changed and
beautiful is his countenance. His
clothing was always simple. Usually
he wore the uniform of his Guards.
Cleanliness was with him morea q mat
ter of system than of inclination. He
bathed frequently and often in tie
middle of the night, because he
thought it good for his health.
Although very remarkable for cer-
tain intellectual qualities, nothing was
more debased, it must be confessed,
than his soul. He had no generosity,
no true grandeur. 1 never saw him
admire and never saw him compre-
bend a noble action. He always sus-
pected any trace of good sentiment ;
he thought nothing of sincerity, and
never hesitatcd to say that he recog-
nized mans superiority by the de-
gree of ability with which he could
manage to lie; on these occasions he
delighted to tell the story that, in his
childhood, one of his uncles had fore
told that he would govern the world,
because he had the habit Of always
lying. Metternich,' he said at anoth-
er time, is becoming statesman he
lies WE'LL All his means of govern
ing men were chosen by Bonaparte
among those which tended to debase
them. He feared the ties of affection !;
he tried to isolate every one he only
sold his favors in such a way as to
awaken inquietude, thinking that the
true way to attach men to himself was
to compromise them, and often even
disgrace them in public opinion. He
never pardoned virtue except when
he could overwhelm it with ridicnle.

About eight years ago an alarm
reached the Chief Police Office in Lon
don that jewels of great value had
been stolen from lady of high rank
while a guest at quiet northern
country house. A handsome reward
was offered, and not long sfterward
it became known that the property
had been recovered. Astounding as
it may seem, it is nevertheless true,
that the temporary appropriation of
these fine things was q millionaire
Peer, who, albeit in nowise penurious,
is singularly simple in his personal
habits, and does not spend one.fourth
of his income. The matter was all
hushed up, and very few persons out
side the family knew who was The
thief, if we can so call him, really was.
This was genuine case of klepto.
mania, and proves beyond doubt that
it really exists. An English Earl OF
high distinction had this weakness
from boyhood, and it involved his
leaving Eaton. When, in after years,
he entered the Cabinet, it was rumor-
ed that Lord - had entirely con-
quered the propensity, Except that at
Cabinet council he never could re-
sist Dizzy's' new green kid gloves.
The alarming disappearance of wax
candles at the TrOvelers' Club, Lon
don, some years ago, caused much
dismay. The mystery was at length
solved by a member of the Committee
seeing the old Duke Z. (with a clea,
S75O.900 Year, ambling along q cor.
ridor with a candle sticking out Of
each coat tail pocket. His family were
communicated with and his Grace
ceased to come to the Club. Possibly
a similar tendency may perhaps explain
an untoward incident which occurred
last season at Newport, and has lately
been recalled by concatenation Of
curious circumstances. There is doubt
