NAPoLEoN,s DEVOTED SLAVE.
A Faithful Mameluke Who Believed
the EmperOr's Star.

A Faithful Mameluke Who Believed In
the Emperor's Star.
When Donaparte gave over his splen-
did dream Of q grand Asiatic empire,
audaciously declared all his own pur-
poses accomplished and the designs OF
his enemy entirely frustrated, and
when, with his army, after its terrible
march, he entered Cairo in all the mag
nificencc of an eastern conqueror, q de-
scendant of Mahomet presented to him
fine horse with saddle adorned with
precious gems, and a young slave, who
held the bride. This slave was Russian,
the mamelule of the Emperor.
Thereafter Russian was, in fact, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, the de-
voted slave Of Napoleon, and the En-
percr returned his devotion with sim
gular confidence that brought them to
the same plane Of imagination and
superstition. Russian was with the EN-
peror in the campaign in Russia, and
when Napoleon left the remnant OF the
grand army to its still uncertain fate
and fastened to Paris to save his repu-
utation and his crown Russian was one
Of the half-dozen companions he took
with him. The native superstition OF
his race, his own origin and his strange
experience, blended with confidential
intercourse with SO extraordinary o
character as Napoleon, made Russian o
strange and mysterious parsonage to
even his most intelligent contcmpora-
ries. In the modern play he is made to
appear as kind Of gypsy fortune
teller.
Russian faithfully believed In faith
and the stars, and as Napoleon affected
the same belief it was doubtless very
agreeable to the Emperor to have
about him one who sincerely nc
cepted this belief and who
religiously believed all his masters fan
ciful utterances- Napoleon claimed
that nature stepped aside from Its
course for the purpose Of his creation.
He was accustomed to hear this idea
reflected in the fattery Of those who
surrounded him, but he probably knew
very well that the only man in France
who unqualifiedly believed all that he
claimed was this wild mameluke. The
modern play attributes the devotion OF
Russian to gratitude to Napoleon, and
that instead Of keeping him as q
bridle-holder the great soldier brought
him, as he might q faithful dog, to be
his bedroom guardian.
