ABOUT NAPOLEON III.


Cleveland Leader.
Mr. James McHenry who recently gave Ma
poleon the Firsts chess table to Mr. George Van
derbilt. talked the other day to q reporter about
his knowledge Of Napoleon III and the Empress
Eugenie with both of whom he was acquainted.
He says that the Empress Eugene took no part
in politics until she became interested in the
plan of her cousin. Ferdinand de Iesseps, for
building the Suez canal. The Emperor's illness
obliged her to attend the celebration of the open
ing without him. The Sultan built palace for
her Verdi wrote the opera of Aida for the
casiOn. and, all in all the affair eclipsed in
splendor any series of fetes recorded in modern
history
During her journey her confessor, Monsignor
Bauer, gained great influence over her. She
began to assume leading part in politics after
that. The Prince of Hohenzollern had, at Prus-
sia's request, declined the Spanish throne, and
the world supposed the Spanish Prussian Incl
dent at an end, when suddenly the French EN-
bassador at Berlin demanded pledge from
Prussia that the Prince would not renew his
claims. Prussia would not consent, war was de-
clared at days notice, and the Emperor fled TO
England. Mr.. McHenry intimates that Monsig-
nor Bauer was in great measure responsible
for the
Napoleon, whenlino exile, called on Mr. Nc
Henry to raise ESQ, 900 from eight persons to re-
lieve his Immediate necessities Mr.. MeHenry
gave 100000. but the others, one and all gave
good excuses for declining. The tales of Ma
poleons fabulous wealth from prOperty in Lon
ment with France was effected he depended upon
friends for support AT Chiselhurst the
Emperor at once began to plan to regain the
French throne Itwas easy to prepare the army
for this, and. in fact, there was no deep feeling
against him among the people, The method of
his return was all arranged He was to land at
Boulogne and go thence to Paris, HE own ambf-
ton being to re-enter the capital mounted at the
head of his armies His physicians forbade this,
and he ordered the surgical operation that ended
his life. He was a loving husband, and never
reproached Eugene for her follies and mistakes
The astuteness she manifested at times ws1
remarkable Once Mr. McHenry and their
Majesties were discussing and important Taper,
when Eugene suddenly said: "Are You sure
there is no little tail sticking outl" NJ McHen-
ry, not understanding her meaning, said,
''Madame9" And again she said Are you sure
there are no little tails sticking outf have
never yet seen any contract for State or private
affairs drawn up which ~as so compact that a
smart man could mo-. catch hold of some little
tail that had been Iii sticking out, and so pull
the whole thing % pieces"

COLUMBUS, O., December 31.-The officers of the
Hooking Valley railway and coal exchange report
everything quiet In the valley this morning, though
they express the opinion that there will be some
trouble tonight They say the demonstrations
last night failed to take an active form, for the
TO make an attack. They consider the unusual
demonstrations at this time as an effort to keep
the miners from breaking from their ranks and
going to work, as many OF them have decided to do.
Rary this morning several shots were fired at
Happy Hollow, but without doing any damage,
and this was the extent Of the outward demon
stration on the part OF the unlawful element.
