when they accrue from change OF en-

Nov the Initial "i" Punctuntcd the
Great COnaucror's Career.
From Marango to Moscow was the
long swing in the pendulum of Napo-
Icons life. the one the greatest battle
out of which he came with his life, the
other the abyss which engulfed him.
Mr.. ]. N. Buckley, who is literary
expert on condolences, points out how
strangely the letter NJ played q part in
the life Of the great conqueror.
Marboe was the first to recognize the
genius Of Napoleon at the Ecole Mill
taire. Melas opened to him the way to
Italy. Mortier was one of his first gen.
erals. Moreau betrayed him, and Mu-
rat was the first martyr to his cause.
Marie Louise partook of his highest
destinles. Metternich conquered him
on the field of diplomacy.
Six marshals-AIassena, Mortier, Mar
mont, Macdonald. Murat and Money
and twcnty-siX Of his generals of divi-
sions had names beginning with the
letter NJ.
Murat, duke Of Bassano, was the
counselor In whom he placed the great
est confidence. His first great bat
tie was that of Montcnotte; his last
was that of Mount st. Jean. He gained
the battles Of Moscow, Montmrail and
Montereau. Then came the assault of
Montmartrc. Milan was the first enc.
mics capital and Moscow the last in
which he entered.
He lost Egypt through the bunders
| Of Alenoa and employed Miollis to
| make Plus VII. prisoner. Malet con
spired against him, afterward Mar
mont. His ministers were Maret, Mon

berlain was MontcsQuicu.
