Napoleon and His Pipe.

Napoleon was snuff taker in mil
way, smelling of the tobacco rather
than snuffing it, but never learned to
smoke. Onco only, according to his
valet CONSTANT, he tried pipe The at
tenn !. o. >-hich Constant gives hui
me us aocot. vas on this wise:
= sastorl nbassador, Persian or
T ,isa, had presented the emperor
Wiz. s. hand, 10 oriental pipe, and one
day the L., took him to use it. Con-
stant, at his masters request, got every
thing in readiness and applied the fire.
1t remained, of course, for the emperor
to set the tobacco alight by drawing in
his breath. So his valet told him.
"But," adds Constant. "at the rate
his majesty went to work the thing
would never be done. He contented
himself with opening and shutting his
lips without breathing the least in the
world"
Finally he put the pipe into the Wallets
hands and commanded him to light it,,
which the valet did and returned the
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took one
good puff and was as awkward this
time as before. The smoke got into his
windpipe, and instead Of being expelled
| through the mouth it came out Of the
nostrils and eyes. So Constant says at
all events.
The emperor was nearly stranglod,
and as soon as he recovered breath he
cried:
"Take it away. The horrible thing
1t makes me sick. T"
It was more than an hour before ht
recovered his equanimity. and that was
the end Of his career as a smoker -

The Negro Winning Through Thrift.

Thanks to the efforts of such wise
counsellors among their own race, as is
Prof Booker T. Washington, the colored
people as well as others, are coming to
realize that if the negroes can be protected
in their property and educational rights
they will in time compel the recognition
of their other rights. The exhibit made
by the colored people at the Atlanta ex
position is such as not only to demonstrate
the wisdom of the commissioners In
encouraging it; as to excite the admira-
tion and wonder of all who visit it; but
impresses the world at large with the fact
that the colored people are determined to
work out their own salvation, If given a
chance, and that they have already made
wonderful strides in that direction The
opportunity was there afforded Mr.. Wash
, ington, a colored man, to make the most
effective address of all that were delivered
ut the dedication. Attention and aid

Trying to Discreii. Greenbacks.

Whenever Secretary Sherman has any
thing to say respecting national finance
people generally like to listen, though
some of them may not agree with his
views When questioned last week about
the recent bond issues he said:
Secretary Carlisle had the right and
authority to issue the bonds. Where he
made his mistake was in not appealing to
Congress to give him the right to offer
the bonds to the country upon popular
subscription. Secretary Carlisle trod a
rather unbeaten track in the issue. The
letter of the law was not broken, al
though its intent apparently was. The
law provides for the maintenance of the
gold reserve. Secretary Carlisle used the
gold reserve to pay the current expenses
of the country, and then when it was
depleted he issued bonds. Practically, he
issued bonds to pay the expenses of the
government, although ii was under the
pretext of maintaining the gold reserve :"
Probably some will disagree with Mr.
Sherman's diagnosis of the case out of a
sense of party duty; nevertheless his
assertions are easily proven beyond the
doubt of any sensible person. Instead of
meeting the current expenses with the
greenbacks the administration paid them
with gold and sold bonds, at profit of
eleven millions to a syndicate, to make
good the deficiency. Moreover it should
be borne in mind that when the secretary
complains of being obliged to reissue
those greenbacks which might come back
to him for gold, he does not say what he
would have done had he not reissued
them. Manifestly he would have been
compelled to issue moro bonds for those
greenbacks are reissued only in payment
of current obligations. And yet We are
told that the President is to devote his
entire message to this subject with never
word about the revenue deficit.

'Neither here nor in any part of the
world do people come into close relations
with race that is, to a large extent,
empty handed and empty headed. One
race gets near another in proportion as
they are drawn by commerce, in proper
tion as the one gets hold of something
that the other wants. Whatever friction
exists between the black and white man
In the South will disappear in proportion
as the black man, by reason of his intel
ligence and skill, can create something

make the white man dependent on the
negro for something instead of all the
dependence being on the other side. We
are determined not to let our disadvan-
tages stand in the way of our seizing
every possible opportunity. The man
that has the property, the intelligence,
the charity, is the one that is going to
have the largest share in controlling the
government, whether he be white or
black, or whether in the North or South
1t is important and right that all the
privileges of law be ours. 1t is vastly
more important that we be prepared for
the exercise of these privileges"
Continuing he told them how within
the past fifteen years the colored people
of Georgia had increased their holdings
of taxable property over $1,000, 600, had
more than doubled their possessions; that
meanwhile their children had shown
marked interest in obtaining an educa-

That Saving Act. p"
On. Y. Press. J

In almost every speech that is delivered
in Congress on currency or financial ones
tons there is "a distinct tone of hostility to
Wall street which frequently broadens to
include not Wall street only but the busi-
ness community Of New York City in
general. 1t is most unjust tone. and
YET every now and again, some conspic-
uous New York merchant or banker SAYS
or does something that seems almost in
tended TO provoke it. What other pur-
pose could there be, for instance in the
fulsome batteries wich Mr. Orr, the presi
dent Of the chamber of commerce, poured
over the Morgan Rothschild bond con
tract at the chamber Of commerce dinner
the other night.
Mr., Orr called the bond contract "that
saving act of the administration which
gave protection and benefit to every in
terest and every person throughout the
whole land" "This is not the first
time, said Mr.. Orr ''tbat the bankers
ana merchants Of New York have rallied
to the relief of the treasury" And
while desiring that every praise should
be given" to ali the parties to the deal
