put-Other Labor Affairs.
nois Watch Company has issued an order
to take effect Monday placing the en-
ployes upon eight hours labor daily.
The factory has for some time been ope-
rating with 600 men, being only half of
its full working force. The company now
has on hand a large surplus stock which
it has failed to dispose of in Eastern mar
kets. This result has determined the di-
rectOrs to make a reduction. 1t is under
stood that they will run only on the
cheaper grades of watches.

are necessarily made every year over

plowed fields or green meadows, with
sheep scattering to every side; they must
leap over hedges and brooks, mount lit

operation, and was for four years NJ.
Laborde's affectionate companion Ii
would await III the top Of the stairs his
arrival in the morning and would some
times run 10 meet him. Whenever it
had The opportunity The rabbit would
jump upon his knee and il WIS rs fond
. of caressing rs cat During the pro-
gress Of an experiment it would sit on
The operating table watching The pro-
ceedings with every appearlnec.of inter

was in Il microscopical examination As
soon as NJ Laborde put his eye to the
microscope the rabbit would perch on
his shoulders and endeavor 70 take i
peep. This wonderful animal lived on
terms of the most intimate friendship
with two dogs belonging 10 the labora-

invariably turned him out, and some
times chased it along the street Nor

The Adventure of a Mouse.

A mother-mouse, when her children
had nearly reached the age ut which 1T
became time for them to seek their own
fortunes in the world, cautioned them
particularly against the traps and dam
gers that would lie in their paths. my
children" said she, .thc cheese looks
very tempting, and is even sometimes
toasted. but beware of it; for it will
bring misfortune to you"
One time the whole family of Younger
mice came upon Il trap. This, | sup
pose. said the eldest and wisest, lis
the trap against which our mother so
carefully warned us. And yet" he
continued, THE cheese looks very Tempt
ing. doubt extremely if there be any
real danger in il. And even if there
be, | think that, by proper amount Of
sclf-cOntrol and wariness. one might
avoid all i'll consequences. Because
some have been caught, it does not nee
essarily follow that a ike fate must
ovcrtake all. At least shall inspect
the trap to satisfy myself whether there
is really as much danger in it as our
mother said. You know she is apt TO
be over-cautious very often And
with this remark. in spite of the urgent
warnings Of Inns brothers, the ovef-wise
mouse deliberately entered the trap.
Il cannot see. said he, when he was
within, ''that there is any real danger,
and it is very pleasant here. One need
not eat of the cheese. you know.
But even as he spoke the delicious
smell of the cheese overcame his eau
ton; he concluded there could be no
danger in taking the SIMPLEST nibble.
No sooner. however, had he touched
the tempting morsel, than the trap fell
and he was prisoners
Alas said he to his weeping moth

learning the fate of her son, Il now
discover. when it is too late to repent,
that the experience OF age is safer than
the presumptHous wisdom Of youth. y

Empress Josephlne,s Last pays.


There is something very touching in
the account Of the meeting between the
husband and wife at Foutanebleau after
th6'return 81 Napoleon from his Aus
trian campaign. Josephine well knew
that the Emperor had irrevocably de-
cided upon the divorce, vet. womanlike,
she called in the aid of her charms and
destinations once more. as though to
strive to win back the spouse who was
about to repudiate her At dinner that
day she appeared in very elegant and
singularly becoming toilet-a polonaise
in white satin trimmed with swans
down, while in her hair were placed
clusters of corn-flowers intermingled
with silver wheat Never had she look
ed more charming or shown herself
more winning. and the Emperor, who
was morose and silent at the commence
ment of the dinner, regained his spirit
and made himself agreeable. But that
evening he avoided Josephine in man
ner that gave her to understand that all
was indeed at an end between them,
and that their formal separation was
only question of time. A few months
later Josephine made her last appear
ance in public as Empress of France at
a fete given by Berthier, Prince De
Wagram, at the Chateau de-Grosbois A
curious coAtreten1ps marked the end of
this festivitv. One of the diversions of
the evening was comedy in which
Brunei, the favorite comedian of the
day, sustained the principal part This
little piece was the well-known play of
Cadet Roussel. Unfortunately it con-
tains numerous illusions to divorce, and
one can easily imagine the embarrass-
ment of the host and the spectators
when Cadet Roussel declares that he
means to geta divorce ITO have some
ancestors, and afterwards remarks; II
know what kind of wife have nov,
and do not know what sort Of one
shall take. Napoleon sat glowcring
at the stage in evident ill-humor As to
the Empress, she conId with difficulty
restrain her tears. Four days later
Josephine took her departure from the
Tuileries forever.
