Tho Famous Generals Trip to st. Helena
and How IIo Behaved. sf
At @ p. IN. dinner was announced,
when we all sat down in apparent good
spirits, and our actions declared, our mp
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 This beverage,
which he drank out of ttllnbler, keep
ing the bottle before him.
Heconyersed the whole of dinner time,
Sconfining his conversation principally to
the admiral, with whom he talked over
tho whole of the Russian campaign and
&c 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 or 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 b8ck to Paris, setting
out with chosen sbodyguard, one half
of which were frozen to death the first
night.
He said nothing could be 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
ing Of these villages as we'll as, of Mos
: 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
satlon, that previous to his going to
Elba he had made preparations for hay
ing navy of q hundred sail of the line;
that he had established CONSUMPTION
for the navy, and that the Toulon feet
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
weather would permit, and to occasion
ally exchange long shots with our ships;
that this had been demonstrated against
by those about him, and it 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 persevere in his plan.
After walking for some time he pro-
posed 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 in the after cabin, where we
played at ving-tun (sic), which was the
game chosen by the ex-emperor, till
nearly II o'clock, when we all retired to
our beds.-Century.

The Janitor Autocrat.

The stupidness Of the average ianitor
of the New York fat was well illustrat-
ed recently. A woman went out to call
physician for her sick sister, and upon
returning with him the janitor refused
to admit him, saying that he would not
allow strange men to enter the house at
night. Explanation was of no use, SO
the doctor tried to force his way in, but
was struck by the janitor. The expert
ence ended by the doctor being admitted
and the janitor arrested.-New York
