Al Likeness Of the First NAPOLEON.

Some twenty-five years ago d western
visitor was driving with e friend through
one of the resident streets of Baltimore.
1t was late in the afternoon, and the only
person visible was an apparently middle
aged gentleman walking slowly along
with bowed head and hands clasped be-
hind his back. The form and attitude
seemed strangely familiar, and when the
face was turned to glance at the passing
carriage the familiarity was explained.
THAT said the friend. dis Bonapnrte.a
The remark was needless, for the visitor
would have known him at once had they
met in London or Jerusalem. The like
ness TO the first Napoleon In face and fig
ure was SO startling that if the little
cooked hat, gray overooat and high boots
had been added it would have been a verit-
able resurrection Of the most famous per-
sonage in modern history. This was the
father of the present American Bona
parties, son of jerome Bonaparte younger
brother of Napolson) and Miss Patterson;
and it is said that when, during a visit to
Paris, he entered q box ut the Theatre
Francaise, the whole audience recognized
the marvellous resemblance and rose and
saluted him.-St. Louis Republican.

This young lady, who sat well in front,
overlooking the orchestra chairs, paid no
attention whatever to the music or to the
comfort of the rest of the audience. but
seemed to consider herself in a private

After this had gone on some little time
Mr.. Thomas, who was conducting the
orchestra, was seen to call an attendant
to him, and the attendant then went to the
young lady's box. One of the gentlemen
with her then spoke to her, and she was
seen to change countenance, and for the
rest Of the evening there was no quieter
person in the house than she. Happen to

whether they preferred to hear her con

Curious psychical phenomenology.


During a certain period of my life I suf-
fered from frequent syncope, and Ihad the
opportunity of observing on myself the
psychical phenomenology of the return
to consciousness. During syncope there is
absolute psychical non-existence, total
absence Of all consciousness; then one be-
gins to have q vague, unlimited, infinite
feeling, a feeling Of existence in general
without any-delineation of ones own indi-
viduality without the least trace of any
distinction between the ego and the non
ego; one is then San organic part Of ma
ture," having the consciousness of the fact
OF ones existence, but having none of the
fact of his organic unity; one has, in q
word, an impersonal consciousness. This
feeling may be agreeable If the syncope is
not due to violent pain, and very disagree
able If it is; this is the only possible dis
tinction, one feels that he is living and en-
joying, or living and suffering without
knowing why he enjoys or suffers, and
without knowing the the seat Of this SEN
timent.-Professor A. Herzen in journal
