The Famous Generals Trip to st. Helena
and How ne behaved.


and How ne behaved.
At Q p. m. dinner was announced,
when we all sat down in apparent good
spirits, and our actions declared our ap-
petites fully equal to those spirits. Gen
eral Bonaparte ate Of most dishes on the
table, using his fingers instead Of fork,
seeming to prefer the rich dishes to the
plainly dressed food and not even tasting
vegetables. Claret was ,his beverage,
which he drank out of tumbler, keep.
ing the bottle before him.
He conversed the whole Of dinner time,
combining his conversation principally to
the admiral, with whom he talked over
the whole of the Russian campaign and
attributed the failure Of it in the first
instance to the burning Of Moscow, in
the next to the frost setting in much
sooner than was expected. He said he
meant only TO have refreshed his troops
for four OF five days, and then to have
pushed on for St. Petersburg, but find
ing all his plans frustrated by the burn
ing of Moscow, and his army likely to
perish, he hurried back to Paris, setting
out with chosen bodyguard, one-half
of which We're frozen TO death the first
night.
He said nothing could he more horri-
BILE than the retreat from Moscow, and
indeed the whole of the Russian cam
paign; that for several days together it
appeared to him as if he were marching
through sea of fire, owing to the con-
slant succession of villages in flames,
which arose in every direction as far as
the eye could reach. He said the burn
fnrr ~ fhasn x-fll,,r.s, e
COW was attributed to his troops, but
that it was invariably done by the ma
tives.
After dinner he did not drink wine,
but he took glass of noyau after his
coffee, previous to rising from the table.
After dinner he walked the deck, CON
versing principally with the admiral
to whom he said. during this CONVEX
sation, that previous to his going to
Elba he had made preparations for hav-
ing navy of n hundred sail of the line:
that he had established a conservation
for the navy, and that the Toulon fleet
was entirely manned and brought for
ward by people of this description: that
he had ordered them positively to get
under way and maneuver every day the
ally exchange long shots with our ships;
that this had been demonstrated against
by those about him, and il had cost him
much money to repair the accidents
which occurred from the want of mari
time knowledge, such as ships getting
foul of each other, splitting their sails.
springing their masts, etc. but he found
this tended to improve the crews, and
he determined TO perSeverc in his plan.
After walking for some time he pro
posed a round game at cards, in Compli-
ance with which the admiral, Sir George
Bingham. Captain Ross and myself as
sembled with General Bonaparte and his
followers i'll the after cabin, where we
played at ving-tun (sic). which was the
game chosen by the ex-emperor. till

y dead animal of any kind, fish, fowl
or beast. buried near the roots of fruit
or other tree, will cause a wonderful
growth. The animal substance does not
pass into the vegetable, but being a nat
ural and powerful generator of cleo
tricity increases the current that passes
from the atmosphere 10 the earth,
and thereby n larger quantity of sup

Commercial fertilizers do not enrich
the soil-do not add anything To it that

fertilizers is 10 put the soil into condi-
tiou that will enable it to conduct cleo

into the vegetable through its leaves,
carrying with it the gross matter that
goes TO build up the vegetable cells. and
after that matter is deposited in the veg
etable the electric current must have a
conductor through which to pass to the
earth.

was printed the name &C. Hines, Bangor,

fated schooner that could be found. A small
section of her topmast is sticking out Of
the water, but there was nothing which
would lead TO the discovery Of her identity,
cargo or her lost crew.
The men who watched her as she went
down report having seen some four or five
people on board moment before she was
