The insurrection In Lyons quelled itself
sefore the arrival of Lieutenant Bona

proved itself sufficiently strong to put
down the insurgents without the assist
snce Of the military arm. Fighting there
was none Napoleon's company, arriving
in due time was stationed in the city for
a month. 1t was a small beginning of
war for him who was destined, with less
than decade, to lead victorious army
over the Alps into Italy.
The disturbance at Lyons put date to
Bonaparte's career at Valenoe. He had
remained in that place from the fall of
1885 to August of 1887 This period of
twenty three months, though obscure in
its manifestations, was one OF the most
important in his life. 1t was the transi-
tion from youth to early manhood. At
this stage in the lives of men, the mind
passes rapidly from one condition to an
other Particularly is this true II study
have been the mood and genius the attri-
butte of the person concerned.
NapoleoA here went forward from the
early part of his seventeenth to the COM
pletion of his eighteenth year If he had
continued in the reckless course which he
took at the beginning, his life at Valence
would little concern the reader a century
afterwards. But with the coming of the
spring of 1856 an iron resolution entered
into him, and he became truer student
than ever before. Probably no greater de-
gree of mental concentration and compress
sion was ever exhibited by young man
in the world than by Napoleon Bonaparte
brooding over his books in his humble
apartment at Valence.
The ambition of the young officer now
shot out in several directions Deeply i'm
pressed with the fame and power Of the
great authors whose writings just then
were setting the world afame, he, too, would
be an authorl Such was the quality of this
singular parsonage that he never distrust-
ed himself in anything. Before the end of
his eighteenth year he conceived himself
able and qualified to write historyi Cor
sica should be his theme. He would write
the annals of his native land in SO philo-
sophical manner as to place him along
side of the Able Raynall He went SO far
as to address a letter to that august per-
sonage, telling him that he himself,
though a youth, was already a writer. He
begged the historian to excuse his audac-
ity. He lattered him by saying that in

was big one, and the wife won by
handsome majority.
