A Queer Medal Of Napoleon Ill.

Napoleon the Great was sedulou'
coiner Of medals OF victory. as all nu
ntisnatic collectors are aware. Hi.
uephew initiated him in his practice, al
though his opportunities for this Kind OF
Standardization were, OF course, not SC
numerous as those OF his uncle. A col
lector Of Rappoltsweiier informs the Tage-
blatt that ne Is the possessor OF 2 very
rare medal. for which Napoleon III. or
derd a die 20 be made. and OF which the
specimens would now BE- extremely plen-
tIful but for the battle Of Sedan. ON
one side OF the medal is the profile OF
I.oufs NAPOLEON whose head is crowned
with the laurel OF victory, and the In
scription. NAPOLEON III, lmperator."
on the other - md the sanguine words,
"Finis Ger1naniae. 1870" The medal Is OF
some white metal, possibly silver. and Is
somewhat larger than an English half
crown. The Tageolatt doubts whether
the Respondent Napoleon himself gave
the order for such a medal to be coined.
and is rather inclined to think that IL Is
only the speculation OF a certain busi-
ness firm which reckoned confidently upon
French conquest OF Germany, and resoly-
ed to get AN early profit out OF it.-West-
