NAPOLEONS AS NOvELISTS.
Two Ambitious Rulers Who Tried Their
Hands at Fiction.


Some curious revelations have recent
H. been made as To the moral and men
tai characteristics of the Bonapartes;
but none OF these more or less auJheu-
tic disclosures Of hidden motives and
masked habits strikes the world with
such surprise aS the discovery that
both Napoleon l. and Napoleon III
tried their hands at woodworking.
The outline of lie petit caporal'S TO
nance was found not long ago among
Il bundle of papers conhded 10 his
uncle, Cardinal Fesch. before sailing
for st. Helena. If its existence was
known TO the family. the reasons for
its suppression viii be readily under
stood, when we say that it Is con
ceived in the bittereSt spirit OF Corsican
hatred against France and Frenchmen-
II was roughed out just on the eve. of
the defense Of Toulon. where the young
lieutenant of artillery laid the founda-
ton of his future fortune. The style is
said to bear some analogy TO that Of
jules Verne.
The nephew's literary project was
more ambitious. lie conceived the idea
or bolSteriug up the imperial regime by
the aid Of fiction. So far as can be
Judged from the scenario draughted by
Badinget's own hand. the result would
have been work of portentous dull
ness. VI. BenOit, worthy grocer Of
Paris. is supposed 70 eXpatriate himself
in 1917, when Louis Philippe was the idol
ofthe bourgeoisie. As he roams through
the forests and over the prairies Of
the New World, only vague echoes Of
what is going on in France reaches his
ears. In 1865 he returns, expecting TO
find his country grooming under
Gespotism and utterly demora lied and
Impoverished. Bit by bit his melan-
cholv anticipa tiOns are dissipated. The
marvellous reforms in every department
Of political and social life are one after
another brought before his aStOnished
gaze, and at last he is compelled, Ike
BALKAN, TO take up his parable and
bless what he had started with the in
tention of cursiBg. Perhaps the fun
NEST feature of the whole programme
is the detailed enumeration of each
item which was 10 be glorihed by the
romancer's art. The bald list reads
like a manifesto of the LoLGCI. coahty
council.
But even more extraordinary than
this emanation from the brain Of
man whose own life surpassed in fan
tastic interest the widest product Of
ina gination Is the undOubted fact that
Napoleon III. seriously contemplated

assistance that experienced playwright.
