Napoleon on What Contributed to
His Defeat.

his bcse.I,
The following is an extract from tho
hitherto unpublished diary of the sec
rotary of the English admiral who
conveyed Napoleon Bonaparte to st.
UclCna. 1t is printed il the October
Century.
Napoleon said many of lis officers
deserted previous to the battle of
Waterloo, and he attributes his Water
loo disasters solely to the disaffcctod
officers OF the army. lie said he had
rcycr for 4 moment mtStoo& the Pius-
slams for GrOurly's division. but that
he knew that early in the day that the
prus>ians We're closing ca his FAM:
that this, however. gave him little Uu-
caSingsS, rs lie depended on Gen
Grouchy also closing With linn at the
same time. ana he had ordered a suf-
ECient force to oppose the PrUsst&n5.
who We're in fact already checked
And he added that he considered The
battle throughout the day 10 be Very
much in his favor, lat that 50 soon as
il was dusk the disatfc"tcd officers pro
mulgatel the cry OF "Sauyc qUi pcuj"
which spread such confusion ana alarm
throughout the whole line that il be-
came in possible TO countrract it. or
to rally his troops, situated rs they
were.
But. he said. had it been daylight
an hour longer. he was positive the re-
suit would have been very different;
he further said tnat had he boon able,
when the alarm and confusion first took
place, To have placed himself III Il CON
Sl!cuouS position in front. 1t would have
insured the rallyiu- OF all his tr9oDs
around him. but it was trCacherv ana
darkness combined rendered his ruin in
evitable.
He said that on the morning Of June
is he did not entertain the most dis
tant idea that the duke Of wellington
would have willingly allowed him To
have brought the English army 10

had been the more ANXIOUS to InSl on

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
Ahnaan unon the nIaIl.

From the Doylestown Intelligencer.
Postmaster General Bissell says that
the second-class mail privilege is BEING
abused. In 1888 there wers 1874 0OO, OOl
pounds Of publications carried uncsr thS
second.class rates. In 1898 the weight
had reached 256, ,000. 600. MIR. Bissel
thinks the increase could not possibly
have been legitimate. The Postmaster
Generals opinion seems TO possess on itl
face reasonable evidence Of truth
especially Ia view of the fact that tbs
year OF 1898 was one OF more general
business depression than any Of th'
period included.

His Amputated Arm.

An old Confederate soldier living at
Macon, n. c., and who was so unfortu-
nate as to lose his right arm during the
war between the states, always complained
of the fingers of the dead and buried hand
giving him excessive pain. Finally some
one suggested that the arm be disinterred
and an examination made. This was ac-
cordingly done, when it was found stone
Weighing several pounds was lying across
the fingers. The stone was removed, the
arm carefully wrapped in straw and again
buried From that time forward the SOL
der made no further complaint of painful
sensations in the lost arm.
Some curious persons who heard the
above story related substantially as it is
here, sent it to Professor Edward c. Spitz-
ka who was at that time professor of anat-
omy and physiology of the nervous system
In the New York Post Graduate Medical
school, asking II such sensations in dead
and buried limb were possible, and II so,
whyP The reply is reproduced word for
word below:
1T Is well established fact that after
limbs have been amputated the person
feels certain sensations at times which
seem to originate In the parts which have
been removed. The explanation advanced
by the leading psychologists is that the
nerves are pressed at the end of the stump
and that the pain is referred by the mind,
through habit, to the former termination
of the sensory lines, the position, cramped
or otherwise, of the buried parts having
nothing whatever to do with the sensations
conveyed to the brain. Fancy rath-
er than fact has all to do with these cases
Of imaginary sensations being sent to the
brain from the removed parts. If results
such as you mention in the case of the old
soldier could follow because of stone ly-
ing across the dead fingers striking the
amputated arm with hammer or a stone
would naturally have caused much great
or sensation of pain.-St. Louis Republic.

Dog Tray.

Tray was one of those noble dogs who
live about the docks and save people who
fall into the water. Some OF these dogs
have received medals for bravery In saving
life from the humane society. We do not
know that Tray ever got medal. Prob
ably not, but he certainly deserved one,
and he got something much better than
any medal and that was poem by Rob
ert Browning, who made him celebrated.
One day" little beggar child WAS sitting
on the edge Jf the quay, just as so many
do in New York in hot weather. She was
playing with her doll and singing to her
self and having nice time, so that she
forgot how near she was to the edge, lost
her balance and fell into the water.
The poor child screamed as she fell in,
and the people on the dock all rushed TO
the edge and looked over, but the water
was very deep-l0 or ~ feet-and the cur
rent very strong, so that the men were
afraid to jump in after the poor girl, who
was drowning before their eyes To be
sure they had to think OF their own wives
and children before risking their lives to
save her. While they were all calling on
each other for help, and none being will
ing to be the one to come forward dog
ran up. He was not afraid, and he did
not stop one minute to think about
whether he would get drowned
He saw the child struggling in the
water, and no leaped over at once. He
dived down to the bottom then he rose
near her, and In minute no had her
tight and swan with her to land. The
people took her from him, and she stood
OH the pier dripping with water. Then
they turned to Tray to praise him. but he
was gone He had jumped over again.
They were surprised. They thought an
other child must have fallen in without
their seeing It, but they were quite will
ing that Tray should have all the repson-
sibility of saving 1t. This time Tray was
a long time under the water. They began
to wonder what had become OF him, but
no one thought of doing anything to help
the brave dog. They did not even throw
a rope out that he could have caught In
his teeth, although the current ran very
strong where he had gone down. How
ever, he did come up to the surface In
time and then they saw he had something
| In his mouth.
He came slowly to the shore, for he was
very tired. He had been down to the very
bottom Of tho river and fished up tho dol
which the little girl had In her hand wher
! she fell over and now he came to her with
1t. 1t was just as good in Tray to save thG
doll as to save the child, but the people
laughed at him, except tho little girl Tray
trotted off home. He did not know wha
a hero he was or how much better thar
the people who thought rnselves Sc
much wiser than dog and yet would MOI
run n risk of hurting themselves to dc
what he had done without thinking O
himself at all.
