NAPOLEON'S MEMORY.
Corsica Still Loyal to Name of the
Emperor.


The Fortnightly Review says: Ma
poleon-"le Grand Empereur"-lives in
the hearts of the people as wildly as
though he had died but yesterday. l was
present at a curious scene at the the
atre at Ajaccio, where an intolerable
drama entitled Napoleon" was per-
formed by as villanous a company as
ever trod provincial borders. The house
was crammed, and the enthusiasm so
great, with cries of give IEmpereurl
that thought it we'll to retire before
Sir Hudson Lowe came on the scene,
to be followed possibly by "a bas les
Anglaisi" The audience seemed really
to be moved as one man by the frenzy
of Imperialism. I was not surprised to
hear, after this, that the Empress Eu-
genie, who wished to revisit Corsica,
had decided, on advice, that it would
be unwise to do so.
To the same fear of arousing popular
feeling may be attributed the fact that
the directions left in his will by the
late Prince, generally known as "PlOn-
Plon" that he should be buried at the
isles Sanguinaires, have never been
carried out. The tenacity to the Ma
poleonic Idea" may be further illustrat-
ed by that the hostility of a great Cor
sican house to the BonaparteS has
never been forgiven; it's present repre-
sentative is regarded with an heredi-
tary resentment. An Ajjaccian gentle
man who was calling on an English
lady rose and left the room on the en-
trance of a fellow-townsman whose
great-uncle has been Napoleon rs OPP
ponent.

The boy did MS directed and his mother
summoned several neighbors and thoy
went TO the house occupied by O'Connell
and found both doors locked. Entrance
was gained by breaking down the rear
door.
O'Connell was lying on a bed which was
black with filth. The bed clothes were in
weak that he could not raise his head
and could hardly speak He was dressed
and said he had been lying there three
weeks, unable 60 move. A portion OF
loaf of bread, hard and dry, and two
crackers Were all tho food In the house,
and these We're beyond his reach. He cried
for food and water and the women imme-
so thirsty was O'Conncll that he drank
seven bowls of tea and two quarts of water
before his thirst was assuaged.
The case was then reported to the secro-
tary of the Associated Charities, and
nurses were summoned and the town
physician sent for. The tea and milk
given the man by the women came near
causing his death, and but for the vigil
lance of the nurses he would have died

TimepieceS That Told the
Hours Long Ago.
A Gold Watch Presented by
Duke Of Cumberland.
Watch Made Of Scraps In Eight
H0urS-Ingenious Devices.

The origin Of the clock is unknown, but
such timepieces were known i'm Italy as
early as the tenth century. Some think
! they were first invented by the Saracens,
says William johnson I'm the Com
mercial Advertiser. From that time
| many elaborate and whimsical designs
were constructed, and those which
We're skillfully and wonderfully made
brought fabulous prices. An old Italian
soldier, who served prior to 1859, con-
tructed one Of the most curious of these.
BY its mechanism the figure Of a tortoise
was made TO drop into plate of water,
having the hours marked on its rim. The
figure would float around and stop at the
proper hour telling the time like "a
learned pig" A lizard also was made in
the same time keeper to ascend a pillar
on which the hours wero marked and
point. ont the time as it advanced. A
mouse did the same thing by creeping
along an hour marked cornice. The figure
of golden cock that tapped its wings
twice with the approach of the hours and
crowed twice was also "A popular favorite
for ancient time keepers.
or the various specimens that might be
given of early designs of the clock
makers art not the least interesting are
the several types of lamp clocks. One Of
these was of kind quite common in the
seventeenth century, and consisted of a
lamp burner placed at the base Of glass
oil receptacle mounted vertically upon
ctrf la 1fa Ill 4. l.
attached to it n scale, facing the burner
and showing the hours, beginning at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, at which time
the lamp was to be lighted in winter and
ending at O'Clock i'm the morning. The
lamp being lighted, the gradually de-
scending level of oil, as combustion pro-
ccedcd, marked the hours. Another de
vice-of later origin dating back to the
beginning of the present ccntury--utilized
tire surrrc rrirrfpfr. tt rUnsistut Uf TWO
communicating oil chambers, superposed
by clock dial. In one Of the chambers
was placed night lamp to illuminate
this dial, and in the Other was suspended
"A float from a cord which passed around a
small pulley. The latter was mounted
on n horizontal axis ending i'm the center
of the dial. The float, of course, de-
scended as the oil was consumed, and
carried the index hand along with it,
thus marking the hours precisely as in
the case already cited. At their best.
these timepieees could have had only an
indifferent degree of accuracy, yet they
probably served their purpose well, and
certainly are interesting at the present
