The late Emperor, knew how to keep
bis temper, and could, under trying cir
cusnstances. maintain the stolidity Of q
phlegmatic German. One day he gave
audience 70 g great parsonage, with
whom he had some important business
70 discuss. The Emperor spoke with
his habitual calm and dragging tones,
and although his visitor frequently grew
excited he never raised bis voice above
its usual tone. When the audience was
over Napoleon escorted his visitor to The
door, shook hands with him, smiling,
and then returned to, his cabinet, the
door Of which he locked after him.

Said one general baggage agent to. our
reporter: i think this move will save
great deal of trouble to passengers. !
sAnotheraone said ave shall, of course,
post notices at all stations requesting
passengers to mark their baggage, and
think they will very generally comply
with the request. Still another one said:
why, if you could seq the piles and
stacks of trunks that accumulate, and
few of them having anything to show
where or to whom they belong, YOU can
readily believe that this movement will
be Inightygood thing for the travelling
public. We understand that the Kapsas
City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad and
the Kansas City, Springfield & Mem
phis Railroad have already posted their
stations per the resolution, and that
station agents are supplied with neatly
printed cards and tags for the purpose
OF accommodating passengers who are
not provided with material. A charge
OF not more than five cents each will be
made by baggagemen, which amount Is
SO small, when the additional security
afforded is taken into consideration;
that no one should hesitate. The fac
tories OF the country are turning out
