A Relntiye of Napoleon.

An old friend of the Princess Murat con-
tributes a reminiscent article regarding the
life of the prince and princess in Florida.
She mentions the following incident which
occurred in 1865, when, Nine. Murat having
suddenly become i'll with symptoms re-
sembling those of paralysis, a voyage to
Europe was prescribed by her physicians.
She was received by her husbands rela-
tives Louis Napoleon and his family with
an affectionate welcome. She related many
incidents of the southern Confederacy to
the emperor and empress, together with
the sacrifices and privations the south was
called upon to bear. The princess asked
the emperor, if he felt SO much for the
south, why he had not helped the Confed-
eracy
His reply was: Cousin Kate, you all had
my warmest sympathy and hopes for your
success, but on account of slavery did not
dare to send an army to your assistance.
Had done so. should have had a mob in
Paris"
Nine Murat spoke of the empress as a
person of lovely character, being constant
ly employed in deeds of benevolence, even
visiting the hospitals. The prince imperial
she spoke of with much affection, he being
then most interesting youth.-Century.

steamboating ON the Missouri.

AS the railroads of the present day con-
test for supremacy in speed and good serv-
ice, so did the steamboats, of 20 and 40 years
ago struggle for position in the public eye.
The point in contest was always that of
speed. In those days trade on the Missouri
was prosperous. At least 100 boats ascend
ed the stream every season before July,
many of them going as far as Fort Benton,
In Montana. A boat that made this trip
and returned to st. Louis in two months
without profit of $4,000 did poor bust
ness Those were the days when freight
was freight. No competing vessel cut the
rates. The boats ran independently, and
when one captain fixed the tariff there was
no other boat to be found that would offer
cheaper transportation. - Detroit Free

He looked at me again rather queerly,
acting as though he meant to speak,
then, saying he must go, turned and
walked away. l watched him until he
was out of sight, anxious to see him as
long as possible and wishing with all
my heart that could be with him al

a few minutes, he was dcarer to me
than anyone else on earth, and ! felt
that to be near him and with him would
be the greatest happiness Icould know.
He had sympathized with me in my sor-
rows-he had understood me and be-
lieved in the goodness of my intentions
and in my childish simplicity placed
him as an idol before my heart, and
loved him almost to veneration.

crate of my feelings, that grew to love
him more and more as the days passed.
One day, after ! had known Will
Hanley for several months, my step
mother was, for some cause, in an I'M
commonly bad humor with me, and, be-
sides slapping and knocking me about
numerically, applied tome al the vile
epithets of which her tongue was mas
ter. She berated me for a hundred
faults of which l was innocent, and
spoke in the most sneering and abusive
manner of my looks. do not know
why it was, but for some reason | felt
the reproachcs she heaped upon me
more keenly than l ever had before,
and could not tainely submit without
offering word of protest. Her words
stung me to the quick, and for the first
time in my life dared to speak in self
defense.
'What you say is not true" ! said,
fatty, when she ceased TRADE of the
bitterest accusations.
! do not know how I ever had the
courage to utter that speech, and no
sooner was it out of my mouth than
was struck dumb with establishment at
the thought of my audacity. My step
mother, too, was evidently surprised
almost out of her wits, and for a full
minute she stood staring at me, her
face picture of wonder.
"Well," she said. at last, the look of
wonder giving place to flush of anger,

My courage rose as her anger in
creased, and with warmth l retorted:
Because | am not guilty of the mean

My stepmother made no reply, but
stood LOOMING very hard at me, her face
flushing AID paling alternately. | knew
enough II her to realize that had
stirred her anger to the bottom and
that should have to pay dear Price
for my daring speech, yet my courage
did not wane, and in sheer desperation
/ continued:
"You all hate me, and you beat me
worse than people beat their dogs, just
for nothing. You accuse me of being
mean when I'm not, and you tell people
things about me that amt true, so they
won't like me. Mary has all the love
and all the favors, and / get all the
abuse, and yet I'm as good as she is,

peated in harsh, grating tones.
"Yes, viii Hanlcy," replied, nothing
daunted HE says I'm better than
Mary and prettier, too. lie calls me
Agnes, and says my hair is not red but
golden, and he likes me-"
l uttered these last words with a
proud defiance that must have been ex-
tremely eXasperating. never saw any
one so affected by a speech as my STEP

sparl1led with anger while her face
grew livid. She was wholly possessed
