NAPoLE0NS.

The young man now in Bellevue Hos
pital who imagines that he Is Napoleon
has no monopoly Of this haliucination.
He is to be examined as to his sanity,
and the chances are that the physicians
viii find that he hasn't all his buttons"
but the fact that he thinks himself Napo-
leon will not cause the doctors to declare
him insane. He wants to kin man n
month. and anybody who has a CORY
mission OF that kind, whether he is Ma
poleon or plain Tom Jowies, is liable to
be looked upon with suspicion by the
police and other alienists.
Imagining ones self Napoleon is
about as cheap pastime as
a person can indulge in. II
costs nothing, IL the imaginer just
wraps himaclf IN his togaesque mantle,
pulls his centre-board hat down over his
eyes, and does nothing else but imagine,
But II he goes to work and puts any
money into the role, that is another
story.
There are lots OF men In this town
running bakeries, railroads. beer saloons
and masquerade balls who think them
selves Napoleons, and who lose money
by backing up this gigantic thought.
The real Napoleons never risk their own
money on themselves; they ret other
folks to do the risking and they do the
reaping. Their capital is in their mind
and they take good care not to lose it,
The man in Bellevue has not a real
Napoleonic mind. II he had he wouldn'
want TO kill men; he would be satisfied
with simply pulling their legs, as our
Napoleons OF the Bourse and our Napo,
leonesses Of the GJffEstic circle do &c
gracefully and effectively.
