III reply to tie question in what en-
gageuents he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger of
losing his life Napoleon once said, I'm
the commencement of my canpaigns.'
Indeed, if further proof We're demanded
to show that lie did not spare himself
at Toulon it Is only necessary to add
that during the ten weeks of its siege
Napoleon, ia addition to 4 bagonet
wound III his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, white at the siege of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt he
lost no fewer than -four in the same
manner.
During the last days of his life, when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had wen nigh completed their work, it
is said that the agony Of his fatal dis
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry Of, why did the cannon
balls spare me?"
During his long military career Napo-
leon fought sixty battles, while Caesar
fought but fifty. III she early part of
his career he was utterly reckless Of
danger wbile OH the battlefield. and this
spirit OF feallessness contributed large
ly to the love and esteem in which he
was held by his armies, There was a
curious belief among the English in Ma
poIeols time that he had never been
wounded and indeed the report was
current that he carefully if not in a
cowaFdiy manner refrained from ex-
posing himself Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was III re-
ality several times severely wounded,
but us he wished to impress upon his
troops the belief that good fortune new
ler deserted him and that like Achilles
he was well nigh inVtlnerable he all
| ways made a secret of his many dam
gers. He therefore enioined once for
| all upon the part of his immediate staff
| the most absolute silence regarding all
| circumstances of this nature, for it is
| almost impossible to calculate the con
| fusion ana disorder which would have
| resulted from the slightest report OF, the
4 smallest doubt relatiqeyto his existenees
Upon the single thread of this mans
| life depended not only the fate and gor4
eminent of a great empire, but the
whole policy and destiny of Europe as
