Napoleon,s Bed For Sale.

The bed on which Napoleon died at
st. Helena is being offered for sale i'll
Paris. The bedstead is made Of brass,
and was given by the Emperor to
Comte de Montholon, who was with
him at ST. Helena. 1t is now the prop
erty of the Comtesse de Montholon,
family, and as she is very old and has
no one to leave it to she is now willing
to sell it. The Comtesse also has in her
possession a dinner service that be-
longed to Napoleon. The price asked
for the bedstead is f5O,OOO, and it will
most probably be secured by one OF
the American collectors Of Napoleonie
relics.
