At the taking Of Moscow, while the
troops sat in their saddles under a muir
derous fire, Murat, N~apoleon's dashing

Murat laid the reins upon the horn of
tho saddle. took bis notebook in one
hand and a pencil in the other, and be-
gan to write a response. Suddenly a
shell fell and exploded on the ground
close by. The horse leaped into the
air and swung wildly around.
Murat simply transferred the pencil
20 the hand that held the notebook,
Gained the horse with the other hand,
and then went on writing his dispatch
as II nothing had happened A shout
of admiration went up along the line.
Murat saw that the enthusiasm aroused
by his trihing act had created a favor

the order, and his men swept clear

A curious story is told as to how the
Rothschilds supported Carafa, the com
poser. The latter was far from rich.
His principal income was derived from
a snuff box And this was the way of
it; The snuff box wa given to the
author Of Ia Prison d'Edimbourgh, +"
about thirty years ago. by Baron James
de Rothschild, as a token Of esteem.
Carafa sold it. twenty-four hours later,
for se~venty-ive napoleons to the same
jeweler from whom il had been bought.
This became known to ROthschild, who
gave it again tothe musician on the fol-
lowing year. The NEXT day it returned
to the jewelers.. This traffic continued
till the death Of the banker, and longer
still, for his sons kept up the tradition,
to the great satisfaction Of Carafa. San

A few months ago the barber who

had been displaced by a modest gold

Four motions were made today to adj
vance the cases intended to test the va

that the government was willing to have
the cases advanced, but it desired to

First class, 81 per mile; second class, 50
per mile by the shortest practicable
route for each outward voyage; third

eled, on each outward voyage.

count of omitted voyages or delays; for
the transportation of a mail messenger
on each vessel; for carrying apprentices
or cadets of American birth Zone for each
