NAPOLEON'S ARAB CHARGER.
Stuffed Horse in the Military Museum
Believed TO be the Relic.

Many rumOrs have been floating
about Paris lately concerning the dis
cOvery OF NapoleOn's famous white
Arab, which carried him through so
many victorious campaigns. For some
time IL was imagined that these re-
ports were baseless, but they are. at
any rate, founded upon the actual cx-
istence OF a stuffed horse which Is
now in the military museum at the

from the HOnOre by "a special order
issued last March. IL appears that
