BONAPARTE AT VENICE.
A vivid Pen Picture of the Conqueror by
Comte d'Antraigues.


In the papers of the Comte d Antraigucs
was found pen portrait Of Bonaparte as
he appeared at Venice and it will no
doubt, with due allowances, stand for the
few months later when he became the idol
of Paris. 1t was Sucy, a government com
missioner, who, overpowcrcd 10y the mag
nitude of passing events, wrote in August
to u friend that he could not enter upon
such voluminous details as would be nee
essary to depict the man, but warned his
correspondent against supposing that Bon
aparte had attained the height of his am
bition, and used the words previously
quoted in another connection, II can even
add that l know no other end for him but
the throne or the scaffold."
But Antraigucs was fortunately more
communicative: Bonaparte is man of
small stature, of sickly hue, with piercing
eyes, and something in his look and mouth
which is cruel, covert and treacherous;
speaking little but very tnlllative when
his vanity is engaged or thwartcd; of very
poor health because of violent humors in
his blood par suite dune acrete prodi-
gieuse dams le sang) He is covered with
letter, a disease of such sort as to in
crease his vehcmence and his activity He
is always full of his projects and gives
himself no recreation. He sleeps but three
hours every night, and takes no medicine
except when his suffcrings arc Nendura-
bic. This man wishes to master France,
and, through France, Europe. Everything
else, even in his present successes, seems
but a means to the end. Thus he steals
without conccalmcnt, plumbers everything,
is Qccumulating an enormous treasure of
gold, silver, Jewels and precious stones.
But he cares for it only as a means This
same man, who will rob community to
the last cent will without thought give
u million to any person who can assist him.
If such person has hate or vengeance to
crafty, he will give him every opportunity
to do so. Nothing stands in the way of
his prevailing with a man he thinks will
be useful, and with him a bargain is madl
in two words and two minutes, so great is
his seductive power.
The reverse side of his methods is this:
The service rendered, he demands com
plcte servility, or he becomes an implaca-
Bile enemy, and when he has bought trail
tors, their service rendered he observes but
little secrecy concerning them. This man
ahhors royalty. He hates the Bourbons
and ncglccts no means to Vcan his army
from them. If there were king in France
other than himself, he would like to have
been his maker and would desire the royal
authority to rest on the tip of his own
sword. That sword he would never sur
render except to plunge it into the kings
heart, should he cease for moment to be
subservicnt. "-Professor W. NJ Sloanc's
Life of Napoleon" in Century.

Might Have Been Pope.

The Italian papers have an anecdote Of
Signor Crispi, the Italian premier. Crisp
and Cardinal Holenhohe have been close
friends for many years. During one Of
Signor Crispi's visits to him the GerD'an
cardinal had placed his red cardinal 5 cap
upon the table. Sgnor Crispi took it up and
began to examine it with curiosity, whom
the cardinal, taking it from him, placed
1t upon the premier's head, saying; "What
a fine cardinal you would make l feel
sure you would have become one had you
been priest" To this remark Signor
Crispi dryly replied, perhaps l would
have become pope"

"Oh, yes, very often" the editor re-

There was momentary pause in the

gravely at the editor he asked in voice

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. Pre-

Wesleyan college at Winchester, to-
day received the following letter
from DIR. C. F. Reid, of Shanghai,
China, citizen of the United
States and presiding elder of the
Shanghai district of the Methodist
church, south:
SHANGHAI, Aug. 10th-"Only
two weeks ago today l sent you an
account of the Szechuen outrages
and today / am sending you ac-
counts of the massacre at Ku
Cheng. Had our minister acted
promptly and adequately in the
first case the second would prob
ably not have occurred and we
should have been spared the spec
tacle of eight young and consecrat-
ed women being dragged from
their beds and brutality massacred,
helpless infants hacked to death
and a faithful servant of God
burned in his bed. 1 am sending
you these accounts in the hope
that you use them where they will
do the most good. l wish l could
put my copy in the hands OF every
editor, every congressman, and
every other man who has any in
terest in the welfare of the church
or honor of his country. We don't
seek for revenge, but we ask for
justice and protection, which every
American has right to demand,
and no civilized nation has the
right to withhold from its hum
blest citizen. Foreigners in China
are unanimous in the belief that a
little prompt and vigorous action
would at once put an end to these
things. We have lost all hope OF
help from legislation at Picking
and are now appealing directly to
Washington. VIII you not help
us? Unless something is speedily
done we shall have to abandon all
our interior work, which repre-
sents so many years of toll and
sacrifice. In our opinion the ac-
ton required at this time the APP
pointment of strong commission
with such rank and authority as
will enable them to try and fix the
guilt on the highest official. To
punish few coolies will be worse
than useless. We must go to the
source of these troubles, which is
found in some of the highest Off
Gals in the Empire"
