In 1887, while working in London as
q curate to the Rev. Canon Fleming, I
was called in my wears absence to adj
minister q religious service to an old
admiral in Eaton square. The admi-
rails name was Eden. After the serv-
ice was over he took my hand and
said: Shake hands with me, young
man. There are not many alive who
can say what can say. You are talk
ing with man who has talked to Ma
poleon the Great" "Sir," / said, that
Is history. May hear morey The
old admiral then told me that he was
once returning with the feet-I think
from the West indies, but Of that am
not sure-and touched at st Helena.
The admiral said. ri am going up to
Longwood to pay my respects to Napo-
leon, and the senior midshipman comes
with me-"
II was the senior midshipman," said
the old gentleman, land 30 I went. We
waited for Napoleon In an outer room,
and you must imagine how eagerly
expected his entrance. The door was
thrown open ut last, and in he came.
He was short and fat and nothing very
attractive but for his eye. My word,
sir, have never seen anything like 1t.
After speaking to the admiral he turn
ed to me, and then understood for the
first time in my life what was the
meaning Of the phrase, "A born ruler of
men, had been taught to hate tho
French as hated the devil, but when
Napoleon looked at me there was such
power and majesty in his look that IL
he had bade me lie down that he might
walk over me would have done It at
once. English MILDLY though l was.
The look on Napoleon's face was the
revelation Of the man and the explana-
ton Of his power. He was born to
command"
Such was Admiral Eden's version to
me of an incident which Mt 90 years old
or thereabout seemed to him as fresh
as II 1t had happened only the day be-

TOMBSTONE people are making plans
for the recuSsitation cf their camp
which seems bound to come now since
the big mines are to be opened ny. A
correspondent writing from Tombstone
to the Range News says: People here
are now able to point out where the rail
road is to run. The large working shafts
it is said will be sunk near the location
of the old Contention. The Occident al
hotel, one of the finest hostelries in the
southwest inits time is to be rehabilitat

tablishment will not be so extensive or
SO elegant as its predecessor, but those
who are said to be interested are able
financially to carry out whatever plans
they may devise.
