HIS L Asst OFFICIAL ACT.

Napoleon Intrnsted the Empress and
His Son to- the National Guard.
Next day Napoleon performed his last
official act, which was one of great cour-
age both physical and moral. The Ma
tional Guard in Paris had been reorgan-
lied, but its officers had never been thor
oughly loyal to the empire, many OF
them being oyalists, and some radical
republicans. Their dissatisfaction had
been heightened by recent events, but they
were nevertheless summoned to the
Tuileries; the risk was doubled by the
fact that they came armed. Drawn up in
the great chamber known as that of the
the marshals, they stood expectant; the
great doors were thrown open, and there
entered the Emperor, accompanied bv his
consorr and their child in the arms OF
mis- governess, Nine. de Montesquieu
Napoleon announced simply that ne was
about to put himself at the head of his
army, hoping, by the aid of God and the
valoT of his troops, to drive the enemy be-
yond the frontiers. There was silence.
Then taking in one hand that of the EN-
press, and leading forward his child by
the. other, he continued: II intrust the
Empress and the King of Rome to the
courage OF the national guard" Still
emotion, he concluded: "My wife and my
son." No generous-hearted Frenchman
could Withstand such an appeal. Breaking
ranks by a spontaneous impulse, til g
officers started forward in a mass, and
shook the very walls with their cry, "Long
live the Emperorp' Many shed Tears as
they withdrew in respectful silence, and
that night, son the eve of his departure,
the Emperor received numerously signed
address from the very men whose loyalty
be had hitherto had just reason to sus-
pect.-'Llfe of Napoleon" by Professor
Sloane, in the August Century.

DIED DESTITUTE,
THOUGH RICH.
Poverty Pursues a Portland
Child-HeiresS to the
Grave.
Deserted by Her Father, She
Had Become an Object
of Charity.
Sufferings of One of the Rightful
Owners Of the Large Gilman
Estate.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 2o.-Laura Nc
Kinnie. motherless little girl, 10 years
old, died very suddenly in this city yes
terday, among strangers, but not quite
friendless. Her death recalls the fact that
she was one of the heirs to the at one time
$500, 900 Gilman estate. The little girl was
one of the grandchildren of the late Cap
tain James H. Gilman, who died some
years ago. Had she lived it is not at all
likely that she would have ever received
the legacy hich her wealthy grandfather
intended that she should enjoy with her
brother. By the time the surviving child
snail have attained his majority there will
not be much of the estate left to realize
upon, if things go as they have in the
past.
The whole story of the Gilman fortune
is one OF wrongs and mismanagement;
and, besides, the "good times" when the
Gilman House for instance brought in
$500 month are gone, and half dozen
years after the owner has passed away the
estate is not worth $4,000. The lot of the
McKinnie children has not been pleas.
ant one, in the exchange of a once COM
Portable home and Iuxuries for the public
charities.
After the death of Mrs. Ida McKinnie,
Gilmap's daughter, McKinnie broke up
the household and boarded at different
places around town. The last place at
which he and his children were housed
was the Imperial Hotel. McKinnie could
never take care of money, especially
money that came from others for him 10
spend. His children, the nurse and him.
self were turned out of the Imperial on
account of non-payment of bill. After
ward the administrator paid part OF this
bill.
McKinnie acted as guardian for his
children. When money was turned over
10 him to be expended for the benefit oil
the boy and girl it was not certain what
became of it. The father evidently was
not concerned about the welfare OF his
children.
A little over year ago McKinnie left
here and was supposed to have gone to
Idaho. He was engaged in the Insurance.
soliciting business, and made money when
he cared to make the effort. He placed
Laura in st. Mafy's Academy on Market
street and promised to pay for her tuition,
but The sisters never heard from McKin
ME again, and they had 10 turn the child
out finally. because the pay for her tuition
and board was not Forthcoming. The sis
ters have the bill yet.
The father took the boy, Gilman Nc
Kinnie. with him, but what became oi
either OF them or where they are is a cues
tion, as the present administrator of the
estate, Cleveland Rockwell, holds nc
correspondence with him.

THE RAT SEEMS TO LIKE HIM.

An Untamed Rodents Sudden Attach
ment for Warehouse Porter.
George Wilson, colored porter OF Vir-
ginian birth, who works for L. Slsson q
Co., is the object of the singular affection
of rat. About two weeks ago he caught
large gray rat in wire trap IN the store
house and called on one of the firm to see
his catch. The subject of disposing OF the
rat by poison. drowning or by the aid OF q
rat-terrier dog was discussed, and pending
a decision of the question Wilson fed the
rat in the cage for day and then let the
rodent go.
To his surprise the rat returned to the
trap the next night, and was found the
following morning awaiting Georges
visit with manifestations OF pleasure. He
was fed again. and exhibited his appro-
baton of his colored preserver's kindness
by rubbing his head along the bars, licking
Wilson's finger, and acting much as cat
does when purring forth her a1ectlon.
Wilson stroked the rat throurh the bars
OF its prison, gave it more food, and let it
go again. 1t appreciates the kindness
bestowed upon it by returning nightly to
its cage to be fed. A singular fact is that
the rat calmly ignores the presence OF any
one else, and will only arouse itself and
The rats colored friend has as yet made
no attempt to handle it for training pur-
poses, but it shows genuine pleasure when
he is around, and yesterday played about
the storehouse while he was a. work. After
being released, the rat usually climbs the
wall and passes through convenient hole
into room above. The life of that rat is
not likely to be shortened through its
singular attachment to its benefactor.
Other dumb animals seem TO be favora-
bly, affected by Wilson's presence. John
J. Nairn, the accountant of the firm, owns
gray riding horse, which he uses daily.
The men at the stable where the horse is
kept are little afraid of it, and are espe-
cially careful how they approach its two
extremities as it is rather viciously in
clined at both ends. 1t is not so. however,
when Wilson is around Mr.. Nairn, when
he comes down in the morning, dismounts,
and, calling to Wilson, takes off the horses
bride, and the animal follows the colored
man anywhere, and he is perfectly docile
in his presence. Perhaps one secret of
Wilson's influence over dumb ANIMALS is
his uniform good nature and kindly dis
position. You can read these qualities in
Wilson's face, and he is genuine good
natured. kindly Virginia darky, one of the
best of his type.-Hartford Courant.

The revived taste for the weIl-defined
