DOWNING The DRUMMER.

Story of a Man Who Braved the Great
Napoleon.
The drummer had finished one of his
wonderful stories; his auditors in the
smoking compartment were dumb with
amazemcnt-that is, they were dumb
for, say, two minutes, when a very old
man, who had manifested the greatest
interest, cleared his throat and looked
around on the crowd.
Il can't say" he began, 'that our
friends story reminds me of an expert
encc in my own life, but it at least war
rants me i'll narrating, with your kind
permission, the facts in my case. am,
as You may we'll see, very old man
over 100. Seventy-iive years ago left
my native France and came to Ai<erica.

great Napoleon, was at the zenith of his
glory and |, a young man, with all
youths ambition and daring, was n
member of the imperial household.
saw the great emperor daily and often
sat at his table.
Gone day, never knew just how, did
something that excited the fiery temper
of the Corsican, and in moment he
opened the walls of his wrath upon me.
For an instant was stunned and smoth-
cred by his torrent of abuse, but recov-
ering myself by the time he had finished
his TRADE rose to my feet haughtily,
and approaching him closely 1 shook my
fist under his nose.
"'By thunder, Mr.. Bonaparte,' said
with satanic sarcasm, you have said to
Inc what no man ever dared say before,
and unless you apologize on the spot
tell you, sir, France is not large enough
to hold us both;' and turning tiercely on
my heel left the apartment"
The old mans voice trembled with ex.
element, and his breathing became so
short that he was compelled to stop talk
ing.
"And then WHAT" asked the drummer
in strained surprise.
II left France, and left it so rapidly
that even Napoleon Bonaparte couldn't
catch me-" said the old man. And the
drummer looked at him severely and
went out into the estibule.-Detroit

Mrs. O'Brien, ESQ"

John +. Sheridan, the comedian, will
appear at the Academy Thursday night
In tho farce comedy entitled, MRS.
O'Brien, Esq" An exchange says:
Tho play is said to obtain its para.
doxical title from TIE instance of its
chief character IN singing her name
that way, because her husba always
added Esquire to his name. The chief
feature of interest in to morrow nights
performance will be the reappearance
of John +. Sheridan, who ten wears
ago was favorito comedian in this
city, and in fact, throughout the couu-
try, bis big his being as the Widow
OBrien in "Eun on tho Bristol" In
those days, farce comedy, as we now
understand IL, was an unused term
Salisbury's Troubadours in Tho
Brook" "Our COLLINS" and Fun on
the Bristol" were all farce comedies,
but for want of an appropriate term
wore known as musical extravaganzas
Sheridan's work in "Fun on tho Bristol"
largely made the success Of that farce.
Mr.. Sheridan has partia!ity for play
ing eccentric females of Irish pcrsua-
sion. In Characters of this kind he is
not second even to Neil Burgess, who
has long been regarded IS tho ono sue
cessfnl male exponent of feminine &C
centricitics. The lSst six or cghtyears
OF Mr.. Sheridan's professional career
have been spent in Australia. His re-
turn here is due TO the activity Of Frank
Sanger, who thinks there exists n new
generation OF theatregoers who will ap-
preciate the long absent actor
