and said. I heg vonr pardon. n

and said, I beg your pardon. '"
 Whatever plausible illusions Napole- on may have cherished as to his resid- ual importance his letter made no im- pression on the Kaiser. The next com Imunication to the countess contains nothing of note except characteristic remark on point of international eti- Iquette; The eagerness of the neutral powers to recognize the kingship of M. Thiers is a proof of the little dignity that inspires foreign courts" The Tuileries, even In exile, still asserts a lpretension to be considered an arbiter | of elegancies. Incidentally a certain French emperor had himself profited | by such premature cordialities as are here reprehended. The 18th of Febru- ary, 1871, the day before the peace pro- tocol was signed at Versailles. Nopole- on III. had evil presentiments, It Is useless to write to M de B., he says. Things are taking a bad turn. The Or l1eanists must be reokoned with. The people cannot pardon him for having been "so ill-served and unfortunate" News of the hateful bargain of Yer sailles shook the imperial prisoner out of his egotism. In a letter of March 1 2, he discusses the matter in passionate 1 terms, very like those which Jules Favre and Thlers used vainly in the negotiations with the implacable Bis
 marck. Tt is no peace that the Ger man emperor has made; he is trying to kill us, and instead of establishing peace, the treaty s0ws hatred and mis- trust for the future" In words that have the weight of prophecy, Napoleon l III. continues: ''Ts it well calculated, even for Germany? I do not think SO. The present state of civilization in Eu- rope brings nations together in such
 bonds of common interests that the ruin of one reacts upon all the others" He returns to his dogma that peace should have been made with a solid land legitimate government-and this time probably he does not mean him self exclusively. To have drawn a peace accepted by all France would have been high politics. Hatred of Germany would disappear as by en- chantment, peace would be assured for many year, confidence be restored, commerce would resume it's expansion, and the German emperor would gain much greater glory than he will ac- qulre from the possession of Metz and strasbourg."
 In the subsequent correspondence from Napoleon's English retirement there is little but apathy and skepti- : cism as to the fate of the republic. The countess abounds in suggestions, and receives merely thanks. He no longer writes to her, as in previous let ters, "as if she were his foreign minis ter" He reminds her that they have to do with 'pitiless characters" It Is as useless to approach the 'Marechal
 M" as it was to mollify M. de B." 1t is futile to work directly in France. "Everything must come about in Its time" and one must look for some form of spontaneous Bona parteism, though it seems "an auda- cious hope to concern ones self with the destinies of a people so frivolous as the French Gradually the correspon- dence becomes terse and merely per sonal; little before his death the em- peror writes: T will not speak to you

 Peering under the smoke of my ten bore, l saw the animal lying motionless I waited a few seconds, and then look ed around toward the two Malays. The week before shooting in the Kuan- tan valley, I had killed fine tusker elephant with a singe bullet in the brain. This made two consecutive ele- plants with two consecutive bullets, and the second of them was this fam ous Blat elephant. Trying to conceal any emotion, I beckoned to the men to come up, saying that the animal was dead. But dead" had barely crossed my lips when there was rending of the rattans, and before I could move the elephant was charging straight at me.
 A second before it had been lying on the ground with all four feet stretched out, and with, believed, a bullet in it's brain An elephant cannot spring to his feet, and tame animal gen. erally take some time to rise. The sud- denness of this charge may, there fore, appear exaggerated. I can only say that was standing within a few yards of the animal and was not aware of any interval of time between it's lying silent on the ground and its charging me. l saw the green rattans tearing asunder to right and to left away from an enormous brown head a trunk tightly coiled up and a pair of huge gleaming tusks. It was all high up in the air. and right above me

Of politics, for it's sad thing to see what is going oni but there is kind of devotion that makes one forget both ingatitude and malice" His last word to her is, 'The future still seems uncertain to me, clouds cover the hori- zon, and no clear sky Is seen"
 These letters add nothing new to po- litical history; they do reveal certain simplicity in the disillusioned emperor, and present him in a more amiable light than is usually accorded him. Somewhat numbed by his calamities, the old self-infatuation becomes less offensive in him. If he can hardly im- agine a France apart from himself, he at least shares her agony. Finally, he credits the victor with the sort of ac- tive benevolence that was so deeply mingled with his own self-seeking. He Is perhaps less Napoleon the Little in these letters than he was in his over blown prosperity. In any case, he is hardly the ignoble ironist whom Victor Hugo had lacerated. There Is room for curious reflection in the fact that it was Madame Tallien's grand-daugh- ter who became the ardent partisan of Napoleon the Little in diversity. Her more famous ancestress was scrupulously denied access to the court of Napoleon the Great. The case is almost an allegory of the compelling influence of the Napoleonic legend in France.-New York Evening Post.

decreased cost to the public and with out an increase of taxation, In some places its success is equivocal, the cost to consumers being cheapened, but the rates to taxpayers being rais- cd. In some places, again, it Is ap- parently serious disappointment, the service not being improved or cheap ened and taxation being increased.
 In one respect, however, the Europ- can example is so well established and presents so marked record of bene- ficence that we may reckon 1t high time for it to be adopted here. That is he example, not of municipal owner- ship and operation, but of municipal control. In European cities franchises mean something on both sides. They do hot make of the corporations which receive them chartered libertines, but they subject them to supervision as extended and to a control as unfailing as their own activities There is no such thing there as giving a corpora ton a perpetual franchise and then turning it loose to work it's own sweet will upon the public There is no con- doning or tolerating high charges and poor service an the ground that only thus can dividends be paid. The gov- ernment does not concern itself with. the profits of the corporation. It's view of the case is that, dividends or no dividends, the corporation has got te | give the public satisfactory service. 1 That is the sercret of great part of such advantages as European cities have over American cities. To initiate here these features of European ad- ministration might not be so sensa- tional or so gratifying to self-explot- ing faddists as indiscriminate munich pal ownership and operation, but there is reason to think it might prove more pratical and more protitable.-From

imminent as a wave that curls before it breaks. With my second barrel I fired into the center of the enormous brown chest, the head being so high and so close that 1t was covered by the tightly coiled trunk, and then with an empty rife I turned and ran down the track up which we had come. The elephant was only a few yards behind me, and I ran for life.
 Before I had gone more than fifteen or twenty yards I tripped and fell heavily to the ground, my rifle being flung from my hand. Death seemed certain and l could only hope that 1t would be painless. But to my intense surprise the elephant had not followed me. Looking over my shoulder saw it standing under the great dead tree from underneath which I had fired both shots. I picked myself up and, not daring to wait to get my rife, which had been thrown into thicket by my fall, raced down the path again and hid behind the first convenient tree. From this point of comparative Satety l saw the elephant still stand ing under the dead tree. It was fur1- bling dizzlly with it's trunk in the heavy smoke of the black powder-fumbling to find me The blood was pouring from the wound in it's chest in great throbbing jets, and the bright green undergrowth and was drenched with heavy red.
 After few seconds the great brute began to scream with rage and pain. How 1t screamed! As the numbness caused by the shock of the first bullet wore off the pain of the wound and of the second bullet in it's chest drove it tc frenzied madness It trampled over the ground, which was already besmeared with its blood, and with trunk out stretched and ears thrust forward turned in every direction for it's assail- ant.
 After a time-it may have been only few minutes, but 1t seemed like hours weakened by the lass of blood and convinced perhaps of the futllity of its search, 1t moved slowly away.
 Long. afterward 1t was found dead

NAPOLEON THE LITTLE ONCE
 MOPtN


 There has recently been published in. the MonatShefte and Temps a corres- pondence between Napoleon ILL, then a prisoner of war at Cassel, and the Countess Mercy-Argenteau, who lin- dertook to intercede for the unfortu- nate monarch with the Kaiser. These letters reveal a curious detachment in the fallen emperor, and by no means strange incapacity to perceive the promise of the provisional government. The first letter of importance, dated February {, 1871, is practically per sonal appeal for clemency. He urges the Kaiser to show that "chivalric spirit" for which he is famous. Now that France is completely conquered, her interests combine with those of Germany. The mushroom national as- sembly is incapable of carrying out the conditions of a peace. Naturally, the hero of the coup detat is in favor of that tried expedient, plebiscite. He writes to the countess:
 If I were in the place of the emperor king and the national assembly should accept the peace terms, I would require the people to be consulted in order to establish a government strong enough to fulfill the stipulations If, on the contrary, the assembly should reject the peace, I would enter Paris at the head of my army; would drive out the demagogues (the communists) who have usurped the power, I would treat only with the legitimate government, and would offer it peace less onerous than that offered the assembly, and an alliance based on an equitable consid- eration of the interests of the two countries.
 What these conditions should be the prisoner ot Cassel does not venture to suggest, but he adds:
 Nothing is lacking to the glory of the emperor-ktng except to make truly great peace and I mean by these words peace which, instead of leaving ruin, despair and anarchy as its sign, should cause the greatness of his character and the profundity of his political views to be recognized.
 This admonition to the Kaiser through the granddaughter of Mad anne Tallien was not quite so fatuous as it seems. Bismarck was nearly at his wits end to find government to treat with. Only three months earlier, ! before Metz surrendered, he had been willing to recognize mot merely a re- public, but if you will, a Gambetta dynasty, only that dynasty must give | Us a secure and advantageous peace:" this assured, any regime would do. whether Bleichroder's or Roth schilds." At that time the great chancellor had received Napoleon's i emissary, General Boyer, favora blv and had expressed desire to negotiate with the empress as regent. Even later than this letter, Bismarck used the name of Napoleon to smother Thiers appeals to Europe. If you speak to me of Europe" said the chan cellor, T will speak to you of Napoleon and of the one hundred thousand bav- onets which, at wink from us. would reseat him on his throne" That must have made an impression on Thiers,' Bismarck observed, flor inc next time he felt inclined to talk of Europe he suddenly checked himseIf
