to our marriage was well known, and
Henry was suspected also of having had
an eye to his money. 1t was found, in
deed, that my father had more money
than had known myself.
Henry owned to having driven into
our yard that night, and to having missed
the ribbon from his whip on his return;
but one of the hostlers in the livery stable
In Digby, where he kept his horse and
buggy, came forward and testified to
finding the yellow ribbon in the carringe-
room that Tuesday night before Henry
returned from his drive There were two
yellow ribbons in evidence, therefore,
and the one produced by the hostler
seemed to fit Henry's whipstock the more
exactly.
Moreover, nearly the exact minute Of
the murder was claimed to be proved by
the post norton examination; and by the
testimony Of the stablemen as to tho
hear Of Henry's return and the speed a

The interview was a success, but

ward, although after the passage of the
Pc they began to be somewhat bombastic,
and to abound in his old fashioned, curl
GUS and sometimes incorrect classical or
literary illusions. But if he were
crossed in the least, if re-enforcements
did not arrive, or if there were any sign
of independence in Paris they became
petulent, talking of i'll health, threaten
ing resignation and requesting that
numbers of men be sent out to replace
him in the multiforln functions which
In his single person he was performing.
OF course these TRADES often failed of
immediate effect, but at least no effort
was made to put an effective check on
the writer's career
Read a century later in a cold and
critical light Bonaparte's proclama-
lions of the same period seem stilted,
jerky and theatrical. In them, however.
there may still be found a sort of inter-
stitial sentimentality, and in an age Of
romantic devotion to ideals the quality
of vague suggestiveness passed for genu-
inc coin. Whatever else was lacking in
those compositions they had the one
supreme merit of accomplishing their
end, for they reused the French soldiers
to frenzied enthusiasm. - Professor

One vessel Using Another as a Rudder.

One Vessel Using Another as q Rudder.
Not the least frequent of ocean steam
ship mishaps, especially during the
heavy weather of the winter months, is
the disabling of the steering gear. The
plan of II vessel utilizing another as
a rudder in such q case followed on at
least one occasion that ZONES to mind
just at present may therefore be of in
terest.
A towing hawser was in this instance
taken from the bow of the vessel that
was towed, passed to the stern of the
towing vessel and made fast to q point
100 feet or more forward of the stern.
At a point near the latter were fitted
two purchases, one on the port and the
other Oh the starboard side, for the pur-
pose of DETECTING the hawser either to
port or starboard, and, by the angle thus
made, changing the direction of the pull
IN the hawser. This, of course, changed
the direction of the vessel. In other
wo;s s, any DETECTION either to the right
or to the left of the towing line by
means of the purchases produced the
same effect on the towing vessel as put
ting the helm over to port or starboard.
