"Sncc the negroes of the South have

And the leading editorial published in
the same paper, December II, 1878,
appealing to the negroes again to come
to Indiana and make a solid North in
1880, was also put in evidence. 1t
said it was the duty of the negroes to
do 30 before the new census should in
crease the number of enemies Of their
race in Congress, while their coming
would increase their friends in that
BODY, and keep the party which was
their friend in power. At this point

WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR.

1t is stated on excellent authority,
that poor have ye with you always"
The remark was true when uttered,
and it has been true ever since, and,
from appearance, ever will be. There
are those who have no disposition to
save who olive from hand to mouth, !"
so to speak who take no thought of
to-morrowN Having enough for the
present hour, they are content, and
leave the future to take care of itself
IF property were to be equally divided
Monday morning, before Saturday
night the majority would be in desti-
tute circumstances, dead broke, while
the prudent and saving would be on
the road to pecuniary independence.
One class of people spend whatever
money they can get hold of, and as
fast as they can get it, while others
with the same means coming into their
hands, ,judiciously invest it, and become
rich. There are those who not only
do not know how to save, but they
do not know how to spend. If they
get anything it goes for what they do
not need for articles that could be
dispensed with. Those who are desti-
tute of the comforts of life, as n rule,
may blame only themselves therefore.
If they have anything they do not
take care of it. They buy articles
that people in better circumstances
would think they could not afford. So
they are always poor. Relieve their
wants today and they are no better off
tomorrow. They are bound not to
save-to have nothing, aud are gen.

Napoleon at the Play.

The Metternich and Remusat men,
oirs have revived interest in Napoleon.
Here is description Of the conqueror
at Erfurt, i'll 1907, when the Comedie-
Franchise was sent on from France to
play before an audience Of kings and
princes: Facing the stage had been
placed two arm-chairs for the two En-.
perors Napoleon and Alexander, ON
either side of which were ordinary
chair for kings and princes. A roll
Of drums was heard without. IL is the
Emperor, ran through the audience.
You - FOOLS cried French officer
angrily to his drummers, what are you
doing? That is only king 4 Ger
man sovereign entered; three others
followed him at a little distance. 1t
was thus without noise or ostentation
that the Kings of Saxony, Bavaria and
Wurtemberg appeared.
Finally a louder roll Of drums was
heard. All eyes were directed with
uneasy curiosity toward the entrance.
AT last he appeared, that most in
comprehensive man of that most in
conceivable time. Clad as usual in
the most simple of costumes, he made
very slight bow TO the sovereigns
present who had been waiting so long
and took his armchair on the right of
the Emperor of Russia, his stout and
not very shapely figure contrasting
with the splendid stature Of Alexander.
"The four kings took their seats and
the play began-the 'Qdipus' of Vol
taire. Nainly, Talma and Raucourt
displayed all their art, exerted all
their talent none of us had ewes or
attention for the stage. The gendar-
mes at the door of our box, il should be
said, spared no effort to complete our
defective education and in the inter-
missions between the acts gave us les
sons in etiquette to be observed in the
presence of the master Of the world.
Put down your opera-glass; the En-
peror doesn't want to be stared at
cried one. Another1added Sit straight !;
don't crane your necks the Emperor
won't have it. The impertinence was
supreme, but we followed the example
of the kings and princes before us and
put up with it.
Immediately afterwards Napoleon,
who had seen the play hundred times
in all probability, settled himself cozily
in his armchair and went to sleep.
To Us it was singular to see sleeping
thus soundly the terrible man whose
plans involved the happiness or suffer
ing of half the world. We could not
grow weary of gazing with wonder
blent with awe upon that profile like
fine antique medallion, seen against
the background of Alexander's dark
uniform"

Metternlch on Talleyrand and Fouche.

From Prince MetternIehs Memoirs.
Talleyrand possessed unusual intel
lectual ability. My long-continued re-
lations with him made me aware that
his whole character more adapted him
to destroy than to create. A priest,
his temperament led him to irreligious
courses. OF noble birth, he pleaded
for the uprooting of his class under
the Republican rule he forswore the
Republic; under the Empire he was
constantly inclined to conspire against
the Emperor under the Bourbons,
lastly, he labored for the overthrow Of
the legitimate dynasty. To hinder
any definite course from being taken
for that Talleyrand was always ready.
In the contrary direction | could new
er discover equal ability. Napoleon
so estimated him, and with Justice
In one of our conversations, which
took place in consequence of one of
the many Withdrawals of Talleyrand
from the Ministry, the Emperor said
to me, "lf | want anything done / do
not employ the Prince of Benevento.
| turn to him when want thing not
to be done which | wish to appear to
want"
Fouche was complete contrast to
Talleyrand. In consequence of the
contradictory character of the two
men, the word rivalry" was not ap-
plicable to them. Their opposition
was radical, for it had its source in
difference of character. Fouche had
been priest, like Talleyrand, and had
stained himself with blood and mire !;
while Talleyrand lost himself in the
theories of that school called the Eng
lish school. Fouche WAS an enemy to
all theories he was practical man,
deferred by no obstacles. Thorough
ly acquainted with the French mind,
he went forward with the time, but
always in extremes, convinced as he
was that in this manner only an ex-
treme end could be attained. Never
had these two men any points of con-
tact, unless their paths crossed in fol-
lowing out some conspiracy against
the existing order of things.

The Gar OF Twenty Years.

The present year is 10 be celebrated
in Russia as completing twenty-five
years Of the Cars reign, and the In
dustral Exhibition which is to be held
at Moscow in the coming May will
doubtless be as popular with the Rus
SLAMS as even that of 1872. But such
an anniversary brings with it an omin-
Gus suggestion of the grim old proverb,
Evil awaits the Car of twenty five
years" which Russian history has so
strangely verified. Ivan the Terrible's s
first twenty-five years were brilliantly
successful, but after 1858 came the
loss of all his Western conquests, the
successive death of three wives, the
murder of his son and heir, and the
fastening of frightful disease upon
himself. Peter the Greats Turkish
reverses, and the deplorable death of
his son Alexis, came after the twenty
fifth year of his reign. The etwenty-sixth
of Alexander Is ravaged St. Peters
burg with a fearful inundation, while
formidable plot against himself and
his own death came a year later. In
the twenty-sixth year of Nicholas be-
gun the intrigues which led to the
Crimean war and the present Gar,
now just about to pass the perilous
limit, sees his wife dying by inches,
his throne undermined by rebellion,
and a foreign war looming on the ho-
rizon.

A Russian Story.

Mr.. Barry in his work, Russia in
1870" tells of the time when slavery
was an institution in that country. A
certain ironmaster caused man who
had offended him to be locked up in
an iron cage, and kept him confined in
it for a certain length of time. At
last when he was absent ON a journey,
the case of the wretched prisoner came
to the knowledge of the governor of
the province. The governor caused
the man, cage and all, to be brought
TO the government town, aud invited
the tyrannical ironmaster to dinner.
After the dinner was over the govern
or sent for quail in a wooden cage,
and offered to sell it for 10000 roubles.
The offer being treated as a joke, the
governor said he had more valuable
bird to sell, and told his servant to
bring il in. Folding doors flew open,
and the iron cage with its miserable
captive was set down before the aston
ished great.
Now" said the governor, "what do
you. think of that for a quail But
this il 4 very expensive bird, want
10000 roubles for him."
"All right" said the alarmed pro-
prietor, Il viii buy this one : send
him down TO my works without the
cage, aud your messenger shall bring
you the amount"
The matter was thus pleasantly set
tied, and the company adjourned in
undisturbed harmony TO their coffee.

ENGLISH KINGS.

a friend writes me that recently
hearing discussion among several
prominent divines regarding the sue
cessions of some of the English kings,
and they being unable to decide or
agree upon what the line was, she gave
them the proper order of the success
sion, and quoted rs her method of
recollection the following rhyme, long
familiar to her but entirely new to
them. They were surprised as well as
delighted at its simplicity. and com
pleteness, and one editor of Il we'll

copy for publication;

" Deaths Door"

Deaths door is a significant name.
A correspondent has been at Port du
Mort, as the French call it, and has a
rather sensational and tragic story to
tell regarding the little green bay and
Lake Michigan strait. This occurred,
he says, in February, 1877, and has
never before been published. Mention
ing that nearly the whole tribe of Pot
towatomie Indians were drowned in
trying to cross the strait, the CORES
pondent says that two winters ago an
old fisherman and his son sailed from
Detroit harbor on their return toSister
Bay, where they lived. They disap-
peared and were not seen again for
forty days. One day about the middle
of March the lighthouse keeper on Ca
ma island saw two men drifting down
with the ice out of Deaths Door. They
sat upright in the stern of the boat,
side by side. The old man sat with
his arms folded, slightly bent forward,
resting them on his knees. The son
was bolt upright. AS the boat passed
with the swift current and cracking
ice the keeper scrutinized them with
his spy-glass. To his surprise neither
of the men moved. He adjusted his
glass again, bringing them nearer.
Then he saw that they were both dead
and frozen stiff. Icicles were hanging
from the old mans beard. On his hat
was frozen snow. His face wore the
expression of a man in the deepest ag-
ony. The sons features were at rest
and his eyes CLASSY in their stare. The
boat swept by, and neither boat nor
occupants were ever seen afterward.

OF course we understand that people
are sometimes unfortunate. They get
sick, or those dependent on them be-
come so. We know that people are

but where there is one case of this kind
there are fifty in which the entire
