NAPOLEON rHE GREAT.
Description Of One who saw Him a
Isorodfno.

Description Of One Who saw Him M
Borodino.
Maj. Gen. YalSovitch, Of the Russian
army, is one of the few men now living
who saw the great Napoleon on battle
held. The old gentleman saw the French
emperor at Borodino. At that battle
Yakovitch, then u mere boy, served
with battery in the grand redoubt,
which was the center of the Russian
line. He gives a vivid description OF
the battle. When morning broke a sea
Of gray mist shut out the field from
view. The voices of the enemy were
heard, the neighing of their horses,
md the rambling of artillery wheels.
Then came the thunder Of cannon, max
ing the very earth tremble. Three times
all the Russian gunners were killed and
three times new men took their places.
Bullets flew thick as hail and men
cropped dead or mangled every mo-
ment
At last q strange sound was heard in
the distance like rain pattering on
withered leaves. 1t grew louder and
louder, until it filled the air like the
roar of stormy sea. All at once a
great wave of bright swords and he'll
NETS and horses heads came surging
up over the breastworles. 1t was the
imperial guard. Before the shock of
that mighty wave the Russian center
crumbled away shattered wrecks. When
Naltovitch came to his senses and opened
his eyes he,saw around him the corpses
of his father and comrades. Suddenly
the trampling of hoofs called his atten-
tion to a group of gayly dressed officers,
and Napoleon's staff came riding over
the field. The young Russian peered
anXiously into their faces. In his graphic
language:
There were the hard faces of Rapp
and Darn and broad-chested Sebastian
and Nansouty, with the saber scar
across his check, and the low, broad
forehead and bulldog jaw of grim old
Ney, the bravest of them all. There,
too, was Murat, with his white plumes
and his braided jacket, his riding whip
in his hand, just like a circus rider.
And then the group parted suddenly
and there was the man himself in the
midst of them, with his face hard and
irnmovable as marble amid all that
blood and agony and far-away look
in those cold gray eyes of his as if he
saw Moscow somewhere up in the Sky
but could see nothing between. "A
glorious victoryr cried Murat, waving
his hand. What stir therell be

ing few eggs. Yakovitch says
when he heard that he knew that God
had forsaken Napoleon, for no man
save one doomed to destruction could
have spoken so lightly of the slaughter
of thousands of brave men. In three
months from that day the French
emperor was flying for his life across

ExPoUNDINe SCRIPTURE
And Pounding Each Other at the Same
Time.

I
Time.
In village in one OF the smaller
states of Germany there lived a parson
and a clerk who had often quarreled
about some trivial matters relating to
church affairs. In the midst of these
petty broils the parson wished to intro
duce something new in the order of
/ service to which the clerk objected, on
the ground that it had never been so ana
never should be, if he could prevent it.
Long and heated discussions followed,
in which the clerk, not being so well
educated as the parson, was generally
ignominiously defeated, his sole argu.
, ment being that it had never been so.
On q subsequent Sunday morning the
! minister chose as his text, "And unto
him that smiteth thee on the one cheek
offer also the other" When he had con-
cluded a very eloquent discourse on this
subject, he brought the service to
close and proceeded on his way home.
The clerk, whose route lay also in
the same direction, took u short cut
across the fields and thus met his old
adversary, the Gle. gyman. Thinking
that the opportunity had at last arrived
for avenging past injuries, he con.
fronted the parson, saying: !
Let us see if you can practice as
we'll as you can preach" He then gave
the parson smart blow on the right
cheek.
The clergyman, determined 10 act Oh
his text rather than allow the clerk tc
deride and sneer at him, so he offered
him the left cheek, upon which the
clerk, thinking the parson thoroughly
cowed, promptly administered heavier
blow than before. Il
Now" said the parson, who was
man of rather large dimensions, there
is another text which runs thus: For
with the same measure ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again d"
and, suiting the action to the words,
he gave the clerk such sound thrash.
ing as he had never before had received
in his life and never wished to receive
again.
The squire of the parish happening
to pass in his carriage, and desirous OF
knowing the cause of the scuifc, sent
his footnan to ascertain what it was
about.
The $oottsan quickly returned, and,
touching his hat, said:

clerk expoundin& scripture to one an

No Change in
The Situation.

The outlook for the salmon Gamers
is not Frightening any, and most o.
them still seem Indifferent as to the
amount of fish they pack. The news
from the markets of the east and Eu.
rope is anything but encouraging, the
buyers claiming that the demand fol
Columbia river salmon is lighter than
ever before in the history of the indus
try, and that there Is a corresponding
increase in the demand for the inferior
brands put up on the Frasier river and
in Alaska. None Of the packers can
offer a satisfactory explanation of this
difference in the price is an OBJ
ject to the poorer classes in the
South and East and In Great Britain.
OF course, to a certain proportion Of
consumers this difference in the res
pective prices Of Columbia river brands
and those put up in British Columbia
and Alaska is a matter Of no concern,
but those who prefer to pay the higher

A few OF the cannerymen are receiv-
ing all the fish they can get, and pack
ing them; but how they intend to make
any profit is a mystery that no n
can explain at present. AS yet there
has been no very great improvement
noted in the color of the salmon caught,
most of them being pink fish. 1t was
stated in this city yesterday that one
packer was paying s 10 cents per
pound for as many as he could get, but
with what motive in view M one
could explain. In fact, a review Of the
situation from the standpoint of either
the Gamer or the fisherman indicates
that the outlook for both is exceedingly
poor; If there is not a marked improve
ment in price, the must

increase in the run of the fish the fish
