V.-FLAsHEs OF OBsCURITY.
The instruction in Lyons quolled itself
before tho arrival of Lieutenant Bona.
proved itself sufficiently strong to put
down the insurgents without the assist
ance Of the military arm Fighting there
was none. Napoleon's company, arriving
in due time, was stationed in the city for
q month. 1t was small beginning Of
war for him who was destined, with less
than a decade, to lead victorious army
over the Alps into Italy.
The disturbance at Lyons put a date to
Bonaparte's career at VaIence. He had
remained in that place from the fall OF
1886 to August of 1887. This period Of
twenty three months, though obscure In
its manifestations, was one of the most
important in his life. 1t was tho transi-
ton from youth to early manhood. At
this stage in the lives of men, the mind
passes rapidly from one condition to an.
other. Particularly Is this true II study
have been the mood and genius the attri-
butte of the person concerned.
Napoleon here went forward from the
early part of his seventeenth to tho COM
pleton Of his eighteenth year. If he had
continued in the reckless course which no
took ut the beginning, his life at Valence
would little concern the reader century
afterwards. But with the coming of the
spring of 1856 an iron resolution entered
into him, and he became truor student
than ever before. Probably no greater de-
gree of mental concentration and compress
sion was ever exhibited by a young man
in the world than by Napoleon Bonaparte
brooding over his books in his humble
apartment at Valence.
The ambition of the young officer now
shot out in several directions. Deeply i'm
pressed with the fame and power Of the
great authors whose writings just then
were setting the world aflame, he, too would
be an author! Such was the quality Of this
singular parsonage that he never distrust-
ed himself in anything. Before the end'of
his eighteenth year he conceived himself
abe and qualified to write history! Cor
sica should be his theme. He would write
tho annals of his native land in so philo-
sophical manner as to place him along
side of the Able Raynal He went SO far
as to address letter to that august per-
sonage, telling him that he himself,
though youth, was already a writer. He
begged the historian to excuse his audac-
ity. lie lattered him by saying that in

Abbe the first two chapters Of his alleged
''History of Corsica" the GEOGRAPHY only

ORIG and the massage of grammar
We half suspect that the bottom motive
in this business was not the hope of being
historian, but rather the distinction of
having correspondence with great man
However this may be, the Able INDUCED
Napoleon, wrote to him, advised him to
study further, and then to rewrite his
work. Not only did the historical ambi

also. He took somewhat to novels, and

Madame du Colombier, he made the &C

ings of Voltaire and Neoker. The one he
followed through the mazes Of the new
French learning, and the other through
the intricaoies of practical finance. For
months together, in his lodgings and about
the barracks he might be seen, with book
in hand, muttering as he read, penciling
the margins, approving and condemning
the doctrine, according to his Judgment or
whim. There never was time in his life
when he swept within his grasp greater
amount of intellectual products than dur
ing the after part of 1885 and the first half
Of tho following year.
Coincident with the date Of the Lyons
episode, came a military order sending the
Regiment La Fere from Valence to Douai,
IN French Flanders, three hundred and
ninety miles distant. Here Napoleon
found himself exposed to northern blasts
and unfamiliar hardships. In his CORE
spondence he complains bitterly of his
situation. He got fever Of both mind
and body, and the effects Of it lasted for
several years. His unhappiness became
extreme, and he sought by every means in
his power to escape from the situation.
He would get away or kill himself Nor
were very powerful reasons wanting why
he should go elsewhere The Bonaparte
family in Corsica had fallen by this time

NORTHWEST WHEAT CROP
Estimated Yield IN Minnesota and
The Two Dakotas.


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. Aug. II
The annual wheat crop estimate for
Minnesota, North Dakota and South
Dakota. compiled by the Journal, was
published to day. The total yield of
wheat in the three States is placed at
l65. COO, 600 bushels, divided as follows:
Minnesota. 63. 600. 600: South Dakota.
1900. 900: North Dakota, 63, 0S0. 900.
This is "A gain of ~. 900, 900 from
last year for North Dakota and Min
nesota. The acreage is placed at
3,32l.0 OO each for Minnesota and
North Dakota and 1900. O00 for South
Dakota. > per cent reduction from
last year, being allowed for the two
states first named. with no reduction
for South Dakota. the decreased
acreage in northern counties of that
State being offset by an increase in
the other counties. These figures are
considerable in excess of the govern
ment acreage, but the Yields of four
years appear to verify them. The crop
is.placed from 10000. 900 to Ij.0OO, 900
bushels below that of 1891. but the
above estimated yield emOves all
doubt as to the bumper" proportions
OF the crop. although the figures are
now more conservative than some of
the estimates made.
II Is expected hat Minneapolis and
Duluth will receive at least 100. 600. 900
bushels from the new crop. while Chi
cago and other outside points are eX-
pected to draw nearly -. 000. 600 out of
South Dakota. The quality of the
crop relatively is not as good as last
year. but he report of smut damage
is referred to As not being an impor-
tant factor. The six Red River Val
ley counties in North Dakota are es-
timated to yield &c. 900, 900 bushels, or
an average of about p bushels, a lit
tie less than was raised in 1891.
