NAPoLEoN's JUDGMENT.

A Suggestion Which If Acted Upon Would
Have Changed the Course of History.
1t was during the unsettled times
that preceded the great French revolu-
of 1S48 that one of Mr.. Rogers
breakfasts was attended by Prince Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, afterward Napo-
leon Ill; DR.. Whately, the Protestant
Archbishop of Dublin; Lord William
Pitt LennoX, the son of the Duke of
Richmond, and myself. The talk of
the breakfast-table turned a great deal
upon French politics and the proba-
bility, more or less imminent, of a
revolutionary outbreak in Paris, con-
sequent upon the unwise opposition
of Louis Philippe and his too obsequi
Gus Minister.
In reply to question l told the
Prince that Beranger, who knew the
temper and sympathized with the opin-
IONS of the people, had predicted the
establishment of a republic, consequent
apon the downfall of the monarchy,
within less than twelvemonth. Prince
Napoleon remarked that ''if there were
barricades in the streets of Paris, such
as those by which his way to the throne
was won in 1880, the King would not
give orders to disperse the mob by
force of arms" 'Why do you think
SOP" asked Mr.. Rogers. THE King is
weak man, merciful man. He does
not like bloodshed. / often think he
vas fool not to have had me shot
after the affair of Strasbourg. Had
our cases been reversed, | know that
would have had him shot without
mercy" / thought little of this re
mark at the time, but in after years
when the exiled Prince became thu
powerful Emperor, my mind often re
verified to this conversation, and
thought if King Louis Philippe ha'
done what the Prince considered h
ought to have done-and as he woul,
have been fully justified by law, civi
and military, as well as by state policy
in doing-the whole course Q
European history would have bee
changed. -Gentleman'S Magazine.

PAGANINI.
How the Great violinist Manipulated HIS
Instrument.


How did Paganini playP Now like
an angel, now like a demon with his
tail in a closed door. He played like
the very devil himself-never like q
mortal man. Such sounds assuredly
have never yet been drawn from
violin. The only thing that sounded
like them was pulling cat by the hind
leg from uuder an ash barrel. In fact,
they were no real violin sounds; they
sounded like the roaring of the storm,
like the surging of the sea, like
chronic snorer with his nose congested,
like brakeman on the Elevated Rail
road with cold in his head, like the
ringing of the trombone, like the thun-
der of fat man with deep voice
whose suspender button flew Oh, like
the chimes of q dinner bell, or the
sound of bird, like the anguish and
despair of a man, like moaning, and
singing, and whining and weeping.
And when the G string walled, then
tears came through the eyes from the
listening hearts of men, tears of sad
ness and delight, real salt and water
tears as big as Texas pecan nnts-none
of your artificial tears gotten up to de-
ceive the public.
His performance had the effect Of
| flashes of Lightning in a dark night. He
was as full of electricity as black cat
that is rubbed the wrong way of the
fur. While he played, nervous tremor
went through his whole frame,
shaking, thin and spectre-like as
it was, and from his gloomy eyes
there flashed deeply-seated, raging
fire, such as is sometimes seen in the
eyes of an editor on whom barkeeper
showed off bad quarter. With the
last stroke of the bow the player sank
completely exhausted.
His technique was the purest chro-
matte roulades, his wonderfully clear
information, even in humorous bizarre
ries, excited the establishment of peo-
pie who were engaged in the manufac'
ture of bizarreries and knew all about
them. His broken accords across al
the four strings, from the lowest depths
up to the giddiest heights, could not bt
distinguished from the noise made by {
boy running a stick along a picket fence
His rapid octave playing upon the I
string, his silvery chime of bells, hi
fortssimo, which drowned the who'll
of the orchestra, followed immediatel,
by the sweetest, most charming pianis
simo, can only be compared to the louC
voice of a woman who is scolding he
boy for tearing his pants, and SUDDEN,
hears the voice of her pastor at tn
door asking if she was in.
All this was uncomfortable or incom
prehensble, and, therefore, also indie
scribable. Even the best violinists o
Berlin shook their heads and said "W
do not comprehend it; that is superhu
man. If we had not heard and see
this performance, we should not be
lieve it. And yet Paganini died
natural death. He was never even she
at.-TeraS SittiRgs.

STRANGE STORY OF A STATUE.
IA Figure to Which italian Peasants
Prayed and at Which Yankees Laugh.

A Figure to Which italian Peasants
Prayed and at Which Yankees Laugh.
For the past forty years and more
people have laughed at the cold air and
naked form of George Washington as
he sits in marble at the east front OF
the Capitol. He has been the butt OF
all the jokes of Senators, Representa-
tives, strangers and guides for the past
four decades, and even solemn Allen
G. Thurman has aided in the ridicule.
Still this statue has longer history
than any other at the Capitol. 1t was
ordered by Congress at the end of An
drew Jackson's first term, and it took
eight years for Horatio Greenough to
make it. He did the work in Florence,
Italy, and he made the statue in sit
ting posture instead of pedestrian, us
the act of Congress demanded. 1t was
designed, you know, to stand in the
center of the rotunda inside the Capitol.
Well, when 1t was completed, in 1910,
the next question was how to get it
from Italy to America. Congress hag-
gled over it for some time, and finally
sent a man-of-war to bring it from Ge-
noa to Washington. In the meanwhile
Mr.. Greenough had started it on to
Genoa 1t weighed twelve tons, and it
took twenty-five yoke of oxen to haul
it. AS it went on its way through Italy
it is said that the peasants thought it
the image of some saint, and that here
and there they knelt and crossed their
hrn Inv
got to Genoa, it was found that it
was so large that it could not be
gotten through the hatchway of the
nfan-of-war which was to carry it to
I Washington, and a merchant vessel
{ had to be chartered. At last it arrived
at the Washington navy yard, and
/ Congress was Mortified to see that their
& pedestrian statue was sitting in chair,
and that it was nude to the waist.
1 Henry A. Wise then said: 1.-The man
{ does not live, and never did live, who
| saw Washington without his shirt, y
J, and the country applauded the Senti-
! ment But the navy yard is not the
Capitol, and it cost $4,000 to bring the
statue from it to the rotunda. When
it was gotten to the Capitol doors il
was found that the statue, like the
painting of the Vicar of Wakefield
family, was too large to SO through.
The masonry had to be cut away and
the door enlarged. When it was
finally put in it is said the floor begar
70 sink, and a pedestal had to be bull
under it to support it. 1t was soon
found, however, that the rotunda was
no place for it, and finally, after {
number of removals. it was taken tt
where it now stands, in the bitter cold
bleak air of the Capitol plateau, where
the winds can howl out Washington

Laidlaw. 1.-The mosquitoes torment

desk up stairs, if the company will ex-

Lieutenant Cooper said nothing; but
later on in the evening he proposed to

woods.

"and really there is no dew to speak
of. Please come, Miss Meredith
So Matte wrapped her white and gold

him down the shaded path, where they

"Oh, Lieutenant Cooper!'' she began,
and then paused.

And then she found herself clasped
