The worlds keen interest in Napole IN will
never diminish. On the contrary, 1t
grows rapidly from year to year. oday
people are more anxious to know all
about him than they were half century
ago. His wonderful achievements loom
. up the more grandly the farther we set
from them. What intellect and force
was this before which all that Of the rest
of Europe went down in disastrous dc
feat? Who was this man who overthrow
in rapid succession the ablest men who
could be pitted against him, and who,
year after year, marched in triumph
over Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria,
Prussia, Ho land, and the minor coln-
tries; who made and unmade En-
peroTs, Kings, and lesser potentates :;
who repeatedly changed the whole map
of Europe and left legacy Of laws,
social customs, political sy,tems, and
commercial enterprises which exist to
this day in some modification OF an
other?
Years ago the Hon. J. T. Headley wrote
most remarkable book, Napoleon and
His AIarshals,n which almost revolu-
tionized American public opinion Gu this
subject. We had then taken near Y all
our ideas of Napoleon from his inveterate
enemies-the English. These were in
capable of doing him justice, or of giving
a reasonably accurate view of his per-
sonality and achievements, for the reason
that for IA years they waged life and
death struggle with him.
Mr. Headley attempted, and very success
fully, to put himself upon a more i'm
partial plane and to present a study of
Napoleon, and the men and circumstances
that he made and that made him, which
would show the truth TO the American
reader. He produced 4 series of most
vivid pictures of Napoleon and the chief
actors gathered around him in the great
events of those wonderful years. The
pictures are drawn with master-hand

literature. 1t is one that appeals
directly to the popular heart to
all who love and admire courage,
loyalty, and devoted service. The
author was a volunteer, but early
in his service was transferred to
one Of the finest batteries in the
Regular Army, and which did
some of the very hardest fighting
IN the War of the Rebellion. From
Antietam to Appomattox it was
constantly engaged, and nearly
always in the very forefront of
battle. Its terrible fighting at
Antietam, Gettysburg. and Be-
thesda Church was unprecedented
in the history of light artillery.

perlous raid which has been described in another
book entitled Capturing Locomotive" Wilson's

of his escape from prison in company with COM

The picture he gives of life within the rebel lines,

not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachiah Tube. When
this tube gets ,infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
