NAPOLEON'S BRIG.
Discovery OF the Wreck Of the Vessel
that Took Him from Elba,

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
On the steamer Eureka, which arrived from
the southern coast recently, were two passen-
gers from Monterey, named Geo. Baker and
John Roach. Both are divers and the story of
their latest exploit in Monterey is, if true,
strange indeed. The men left here about four
weeks ago in the schooner Rose Sparks to work
on the wreck Of the Ventura, which went ashore
some months ago near Point Sur, distance OF
about rs miles below Monterey. They put into
Monterey to get supply Of powder, and while
anchored In the bay the discovery was acct
dentally made that they we're Just over the
wreck OF some vessel Baker and Roach donned
their diving suits and were at first little graft
ned at their discovery, there being but little
left Of the vessel to explore.
They kept digging away at the remains, how
ever, and soon had the satisfaction of seeing
considerable copper and iron piled upon the
deck OF the Rose Sparks. When the news Of
finding the wreck spread to the town Of
Monterey boats of nearly every description
put on to the schooner, and the men were sur
rounded by Frenchmen Of all ages and Sizes
who had lived in Monterey for years and many
OF whom remembered the vessel well. She
was brigantlne, they said, and went into port
on fire in 1884 All hands abandoned her, the
Frenchmen said, and were fortunate enough
to escape. What made the wreck precious in
the eyes OF the natives Of France, they said,
was the fact that, although when lost she was
sailing under the Mexican flag, she was in
reality the vessel which bore Napoleon from
his exile on the Isle of Elba to France.
The vessel on which the emperor and his
friends sailed from Elba was q brig and was
called the Inconstant Be this as it may, moth
ing can shake the faith of the old residents Of
Monterey from the belief that the Natalia is
the original vessel Those who were rich
enough to purchase small bits Of copper and
iron from Baker did so, and others begged so
hard that they were given small specimens,
which they carried away in delight and will no
doubt treasure as relics Of the once loved and
great emperor. They account for the change
OF name by the fact that the vessel was sold to
the Mexican government. The Rose Sparks
Will be due here In about two weeks with q
cargo OF copper and iron taken from the wreck.

She was massiveiy built of vanished oak, with bows so bluff as to be almost square, straight sided box, made, like all Dutch craft, to slide over the water rather than through it, and with i'm mense wing like lee boards on each side to let down and supply the place of a keel when going to windward. A tall mast bore lofty narrow headed main sail with short curved gaff, and fore staysail from the bow The great rudder bore along its upper edge a grotesquely carved and gayly painted lion couchant, the most common of all the rudder decor ations and of as much importance as the familiar fgurehead in seagoing ships
 Hull and spars were brightly vanished, with castings of polished brass, and rings and scrolls of red and blue paint wher- ever there was room. The slaves of the water barrels were green and white, and marvellous landscapes were painted on the ends. There was a neat raised cabin at the stern, gayly ornamented ia green and yellow, with little white curtained flower decked windows. through which one caught glimpses of a spotIess dolls house interior, with shining pots and pans and quaint shapes of blue and brown earthen vessels. Of course all the items of household life-cooking, washing, the baby's toilet, and so on-were performed in the most open and unconcerned man. ner on deck.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Eayin0 a life

An old soldier, a lieutenant during the civil war, was walking down the street of a town when he was accosted by fellow, half soldier, half beggar, who made him a most reverential salute.
 "God bless your honor" said the man, whose speech betrayed him for an Irish man, "God bless you and long life to you"
 "How do you know mel" said the lieu tenant.
 'Is it how do know you, your hon. orr" responded Pat. Good right, sure, have to know the man that saved my life in battle"
 The lieutenant, gratified at this trib- ute to his valor, slipped fifty cent piece into the fellows hand, and asked him when.
 ''God bless your honor and long life to you, said the now doubly grateful vet eran. Sure, an it was at Antietam, when, seeing your honor run away as fast as your legs would carry you from the rebels, l followed your lead and ran after you out of the way, whereby, un- der God, savedmy life Oh. good luck to your honor! I will never forget you" Youths Companion.

Ane and Lonl,inr Glass.

A looking glass Is a mystery, an ob ject of intense interest to many animals, and it is often very amusing to watch their maneuvers. Professor c. Robert son describes the behavior of large ape in the Jardin des Plantes.
 He was in an iron cage lording it over some smaller monkeys. Ferns and other things had been thrown between the bars, which the ape attempted to seize. At length a small hand looking glass, with strong wooden frame, was thrown brandiSh it like a hammer, when sud- denly he was arrested by the reflection of himself in the glass.
 After looking puzzled for a moment, he darted his head behind the glass to find the other ape, which he evidently supposed to be there. Finding nothing, he apparently thought that he had not been quick enough in his movements So he raised and drew the glass nearer to him with great caution, and then, with swifter dart, looked behind; and again finding nothing, he made the at tempt once moro.
 He now grew very angry, and began to beat the frame violently on the floor of his cage. Soon the glass was shat tered, and pieces fell out. Again he was arrested by his own image in the piece of glass still remaining in the frame, and he resolved to try again. More carefully than ever he began, and more rapidly than ever was the final dart made.
 His fury over this last failure knew no bounds, and he crunched the frame and glass together with bis teeth till nothing but spIintcrs remained.-Youth's Companion.

Brush with a Wildcat.

Elezer Goodrich had an exciting expe- rience in the Spring Brook woods on a dark night last month. He was riding horse along an old log road. on his way home from Moosic, when a wildcat sprang from the bushes with a growl, gave two or three leaps and seized the horse by the neck. Goodrich kicked at it as hard as he could until it let go and dropped ill front of the running horse. He didn't hear anything more from the wildcat, and, after he had quieted the horse and hitched him to tree, he went back, struck some matches and searched for the savage beast. The wildcat lay in the road with a crushed skull, the horse having apparently trod upon it as it fell. Scranton Cor. New York Sun.

Disease of the Heart,

In diseases of the heart which persist for long time and finally end, as a very large proportion of them do, in slow de cline and a lingering death, dropsy al ways sets in. In the late stages it is most intractable symptom, and adds greatly to the suffering experienced. In the treatment, physicians have been wont to depend largely upon diet of milk, which, ill cases where it is well borne and can be persisted in, always acts well, But there are many patients who, for various reasons, cannot be kept on milk diet for any length of time. To some it becomes abhorrent after while, and others really cannot digest it prop erly, as simple food as it is. And besides that. milk diet is really unsuited to no small proportion of patients affected with cardiac diseases. We have reference to those who cannot be kept quiet, but in- sist upon being up and about, often in the open air, if not engaged in light duties.
 Professor German See, of Paris, has long been engaged in study to learn what elements ill milk render it such an admirable agent to stimulate the kid neys, increase the flow therefrom and hence prove of such great service in dropsies. As result of his investiga- ton he is convinced that the one inn portant element is sugar of milk. Acting upon that theory he selected twenty five patients with heart disease, in all of which there was more or less dropsy. To each he gave 100 grammes of the sugar of milk day, dissolved in two quarts of water In all these cases a marked effect upon the kidneys was felt within from twenty-four to forty-five hours, and the dropsies diminished rap idly, and almost all such swellings dis appeared altogether after a series of treatments lasting from six to eight days. This discovery is likely to prove one of the most important which has been made in the medical world for years-Boston Herald.

 The reporter found him leaning over the desk at the telegraph office. There was nothing about him that would have attracted attention, except perhaps a strange troubled look in his eyes and the reckless way he was destroying Mir Gould's telegraph blanks. He would take up a sheet, dash off a line or two, hold it at arms length, slowly shake his head and then crumple the dispatch in his hand and try it all over again. On the sixth round a glad smile told that he had written the thing to his satisfaction, and the next moment he approached the night clerk and timidly asked the charges to Kalamazoo.
 A wan smile crept over the erstwhile calm and prosaic face of the clerk as the ! customer took his change and hastily slid out the side door.
 As the reporter approached the smile deepened.
 ''I thought so" said the clerk slowly as he glanced about the office to see that no one was about.
 "You did?" said the reporter, gently vet firmly.
