4 Rare PORTRAIT OF YIpoIEoy.
The Picture OF the Great Captains Re-
mains Nineteen Years after Death.


mains Nineteen Years after Death.
W. H. Green, of Portland, Me-. has in
his possession an exceedingly rare and
curious portrait Of Bonaparte. which
was made after his body had been taken
from the grave at St Helena in lS40, af.
ter 1t had been buried for nineteen
years. This is remarkable picture,
showing how perfectly the features wers
preserved so many years after death.
and giving striking view of the strong
lines Of his face.
The history of the picture is also re.
markable. The portrait was made by
an eminent French artist. by order Of
Louis Philippe. directly after the body
had been exhumed at st. Helena. The
original was med lllion about foui
inches in diameter, set in pearls. When
Louis Philippe lost his throne and wat
obliged to leave Fr nee, one of his Off
GERS, who departed the same time, took
the medallion Of Bonaparte and carried
it away with other articles OF value.
The officer, whose name has been lost,
came to Bath with Captain William
Drummond, and then went back TO
France, leaving the medallion in Cap.
tain Drummond's care. Some time
after Captain Drummond received let
ter from the officer asking that the pic'
ture he sent over 10 Paris to him. DIR.
Isaac Ilsley Cummings was commits
stoned by Captain Drummond TO convey
the medallion to Paris. When DIR. Cum
mings arrived there the city was again
in confusion and he could not find the
owner. He therefore retained the pic
ture and brought 1t back TO Portland.
He returned it TO Captain Drummond,
first having a daguerreotype copy OF II
made by the captains permission. The
original il now said TO be in possession
Of Captain Drummond's daughter, who
is an inmate of some religious institute
ton in France, mar Paris. The copy
was kept by DR.. Cummings for thirty.
five years or more ami then was given
by him TO William II. Green, who still
retains I, ssession Of it.
The daguerreotype is as perfect as tho
day il was taken aid shows not sign
of fading. The original may not be in
existence. or it may POSSIBLY have been
returned to the French government by
Captain Drummond'S daughter. This
does not appear likely, however. for II
il had been some one would have seen
it before this and r'prOiuced it among
the other portraits of Napoleon which
are extant

to collect your money.
Until the nomination of Franklin Pierce
for the presidency, the word lou slider"
was unknown. The committee on cre-
dentIals came in TO make its report and
could not get into the hall because of the
crowdof people who were not members
Of the convention. The chairman of the
convention asked if the committee was
ready to report, AMI the chairman of the
committee answered "Ies, Mr. Chair
man, but the committee is unable TO get
inside on account of the crowd and pres

reporters took up the word and used it.

Too thin" was given currency by the
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, Of Georgia,
in the United States Congress in 1870
Some members hal made n reply 10 Mr.

Z" A Good Idea, John"

AT the deathbed Of William B. Astor,
father of John Jacob. says the New York
Press, after everything pertaining to the
enormous personal estate was supposed
to be arranged, the dying man suddenly
said: John. what did we do with the
$4,000, coo of registered United States
4s?"
"We have forgotten them, father, re-
piled the son.
~Wnat would we better do with them,
john"
- think. father. they'd better be given
to the girls his sisters.
~That's good idea, John. Hurry
man to Warrington specially, and have
them transferred before die.
That was done and the incident is a
tuggestive pointer as to the vastness OF
the property held and to be disposed OF.

PutrefactIou in Tho Depths Of Tho Sea-.

DIR. Resnard has raised The question as
20 whether corpse which sinks to a
very great depth is preserved indefinitely
or otherwise from putrefaction. Accord.
ing to his researches published in the
archives of the Biological Society OF
Paris. putrefacton does not take place
in decomposable substances submitted to
a pressure of coo to 200 atmospleres.
These figures correspond to a depth Of
5000 to 1000 meters at sea. From these
experiments il must not be concluded,
according to DR.. Regnard, that there is
a total absence of putrefacation in the
grea er depths OF the sea. The curious
ah small ii-hes discovered in the Chal-
lenger and other expeditions appear to
rise after death. 50 that they are some-
times found on the surface, though as
rule they go to pieces as the surrounding
pressure diminishes, long before they
reach the air. Still there is proof that
bathybial or abysmal micro-organisms
do not exist, and, if 50, they could cause
decomposition in the corp es Of men as
well as m The dead bodies Of abysmal
fishes The que lion is Of considerable
medico-legal aud yet greater biological,
interest and il is far from settled.

She was a young married woman who
occupied a very unique position, mas
much as after five years OF married life
her husband was more in love with her
than he was when he first married her.
She kept quiet during the long discus
sion as 10 marriage, Lut at last, calmly
stirring her tea, sho said in low, sweei
voice al have never said much on thas
wonderful question, Is marriage fall
ureY but l must have my little say. In
this country marriage will always be
failure until women are educated to bo
wives rather than mothers. Do mol
imagine for one instant that ! under
value a mothers love, but / do think
that the first and strongest love OF wo'
mans heart should go TO her husband,
and that her children should come next.
Do YOU remember in that curious book
of Balzac's, Cousin Bette what the vir'
tuous wife said 10 her husband, after sho
had endured seeing him devoted first To
one woman, then to another! She O
saint. pious mother, devoted daugh.
ter. a woman adOred by the poor and
whose life was pointed TO as the one that
all young women should copy, asked:
SHOW me how il is that these women
have made you love them. ! will try.
WHY have you not made me what you
Wanted of mel There are somo who
think me still handsome enough to court.
That great student Of human naturd
made this woman, this wife. ask tho
question that, properly answered, SOLVED
whether marriage is failure or mol.
He saws himself that the man OF supe'
riority. equally wi h the common man,
feels the need Of the ideal and material
pleasures both. The rare being who
combines them is sought for in marriage;
but. alas. because Of the lack of educa'
tion for wifehool she is bound, as gem
eral thing, in two volumes.
"The Russian woman seems TO hayo
solyed this question, for heT husband
and her sons adore her, while her daugh-
ters are put away with their grand
mothers. or at convent schools and arc
brought out when it is time to marry.
She is taught from her girlhood that not
only to win the love Of a man. hut to
hold it. is the duty Of every woman. and
/ believe tina marriage would be oftener
a success if our American girls were
taught this too. Isuppose that IS one
reason why widows nearly always mako
good wives
The women all listened to this mono
ioEue, and not few OF them thought
about it afterward and began TO see
wherein the wisdom lay and how it was
that the sweet-voiced little woman really
possessed husband in love with her.

A Gown Weighing Three Ounces.

About the year l7UO fair young bride
in the village now known as New Haven
wore dainty costume of white. The
gown was cut low in the neck and was
sleeveless. The dress was Of light and
filmy texture and weighed but about
three ounces. 1t has been handed down
from generation to generation. until it
has at last come into po session of Dam
bury lady. The dress is remarkably well
preserved and is extremely valuable,
both from its age and the heauty of the
embroideries with which it is covered.
The design of the trimming IS pre- ily
worked in the coarse linen thread so
common in those days
