The vlcis.ltude. of an Emperor.

The vicissitudes which Louis Ma
poleon experienced almost from the
cradle to the grave were probably all
nut unexampled. He was fugitive
before he could speak articulately. In
the interval between his goth and his
10th year he was prisoner in Stras-
burg. Lorient. Ham and the Concier-
gerie. He was an outlaw for more than
half his life. There were Incidents, at
Strasburg. and later at Boulogne.
which brought upon him the mock and
jeer OF Europe. He carried a baton as
special constable in Park Lane on
Chartists' Day. Then, by sudden
turn of fortune. he became President
of the French Republic The Coup
d'Etat made him Emperor OF the
French; and thenceforth for fifteen
years he was. perhaps. the most-con-
sidered man of Europe. II was said of
him that on being asked whether he
should not find it difficult to rule the
French nation he replied, "Oh, no.
nothing is more easy. II leur faut une
guerre tous les quartre ans" (They
Just need war every four years.) This
policy held good in modified degree.
The Crimean war was for him sue
cess. although not precisely triumph;
the Italian campaign, in spite Of its
hard-fought victories, ended abruptly
In approximation to failure. The
Mexican expedition was an utter fiasco.
Yet Napoleon might have gone on WI
his program of war every four years
but for the circumstances that there
happened to be in Europe in the mid
die Sixties an Infinitely stronger.

was the transformation OF a person into

trying a similar experiment Is himself
changed into donkey. Unfortunately.

story has been found In chron-
icle which is evidently "reminiscences
OF this superstition. The story is as
signed TO the eleventh century. a thou
sand years after Apuleius wrote. There
were two old women living in cot
tago near Rome. II a stranger came
to the house alone. these ladies' trans
formed him into n pig or horae. or
some other animal and sold him,
spending the guilty proceeds In wick
ed gluttony." One day there passed
along the road a young man who was
by calling a minstrel and a dancer.
Him they transformed into donkey.
The victim preserved his intellects
and his skill after the Transformation
and performed all his former feats
and tricks in asinine shape. Nothing
more wonderful was ever seen than a
donkey who could do conjuring tricks
and could also dance and execute
the most graceful capers you can i'm
aginc. Accordingly these ladies' were
enabled to sell the animal for large
sum Of money.
A rich man bought him. and when
ever he had company Gent for him To-
amuse his friends But the witches
warned him that he must never suffer
the donkey to be within reach OF run
ming water. In the end the performing
animal managed to reach a stream;
he drank OF the water and instantly
resumed his shape. Where Is my
donkeyT asked Dives. bewIldered and

man replied. They took him to the
Judge. who heard the story. sent for
