STORIES OF NAPOLEON.

With All His Opportunities He Left the
Throne q Pauper.
No man in the history Of the world
ever had such vast and varied opportu-
mites for piling up q personal fortune
as those which fell to the lot OF Napo-
leon Bonaparte. Yet, on the first alb
dication, when the allies robbed him Of
his wife and child and sent him to Elba,
he left the throne Of the most powerful
nation in Europe almost q pauper, says
the New York Recorder.
The imperial treasures had bean
kept at Orleans. After the abdi-
cation the provisional government,
under the influence of Talleyrand,
the most notorious self-seeker In
France, was more concerned about
these treasures than about the future Of
the nation. A decree Of practical con-
fiscation was drawn up and q force of
men under NJ. Dudon was sent from
Paris to Orleans to seize on everything
that could be found
Napoleon's personal treasury had at
one time contained about ia, 600, 900
francs VI this amount more than
1OO,OOO,OOO francs had been used to
equip the army Of France for its final
struggle with monarchial Europe The
remnant was seized as per programme
by Talleyrand's minions. They took
100000 francs in gold and silver coin,
100000 francs in gold md silver plate,
perhaps 100000 francs worth Of snu1
boxes and rings, a good part Of Nspo-
Icons wardrobe, and even his embroid-
cred pocket handkerchief. There
wasn't anything modest about NJ. Tai
leyrand. The Russian officers refused
to interfere with this pillage. although
appealed to.
The loss Of this money only oooo-
stoned moment OF irritation to Eepo-
leon. The loss Of his wife and child
made him Ike . Gagged lion 1t Elbs,
and, In his opinion, fully justified ~
dramatic return to France.
