NAPOLEON SMASHING FURNITURE.
His Insane Jeaiousy of His wife, Jose.
phine--- 4 Scene at ~. Cloud.

lFrom n Review Of Nine, de Rcmusats Memoirs.l
We have already seen something of
the vulgarity and coarscness shown by
Napoleon in his quarrels with his wife,
and by both of them in the way in
which they made these chickering's the
subject of condolences and conversation
in the palace. In this volume we have
detailed account of still ruder quarrel
which was, in sense, the beginning of
Napoleons plans for divorce.
Josephine's jealousy having been
aroused by the attentions which Napo-
leon paid to one of the ladies of the
court, Madame de Remusat was made
the Empress confdant AZ usual and
did what she could to assiduate her
from her rash resolution to act the part
of spy upon her husband, but to no pur-
pose. Josephine carried out her plan,
and, returning in great agitation, gave
Madame de Remugat an account of what
had occurred, saying that Napoleon's
rage had been 90 great that fight had
been necessary. Madame de Remusat
charged the Empress to conceal the fact
of this confidence in herself from Napo
leon, and returned to the drawing room,
leaving Josephine to await the EN-
peror's coming in her bedroom.

Empress sent for me, and told me, with
many tears, that Bonaparte, after hav-
ing insulted her in every possible way,
and smashed some of the furniture in
his rage, had signi6ed to her that she
was at once to quit Saint Cloud. He
declared that weary of her jealous spy
ing, he was determined to shake of such
yoke and to listen henceforth only to
the counsels of his policy, which de-
manded that he should take wife cap
able of giving him children. She added
that he had sent orders TO Eugene de
Beauharnais to come to Saint Cloud in
order to make arrangements for the de-
parture of his mother, and she added
that she was now lost beyond redemr-
ton"

IT is generally supposed that England
is averse to having any other nation
meddle with its affairs. This, however,
does that country injustice. Great
Britain is rather pleased than otherwise
to be interfered with in some instances.
For example, in the matter of charity.
England doesn't believe that charity
begins at home. She is quite satisfied to
have it begin and continue from abroad.
American subscriptions to the Irish re-
lief fund amount to s65O,OOO, while
England has given but $125,0O

fact that although four out of his

that he will lose all his reliable COM
