Inc report vi tue superintendent

AN ARGUMENT OF FORCE.
Napoleon Smashed Vase, and the
Treaty Was Signed

Early in April, 1897, the people OF
Austria demanded peace with France.
Negotiations were begun in the vicini-
ty of Leoben. Bonaparte, in an inter-
view with the Austrian plenipotenti-
aries, said to them, "Your government
has sent against Fue four armies with
out generals, and this time general
without an army" In the treaty
which the Austrian commissioners pro-
jected the first article stipulated that
the emperor of Austria thereby recog-
nized the French republic. "Erase it!'
exclaimed Napoleon. 1.-THE existence
of the republic is as plain as the sun.
This article is only fit for the blind.
We are our own masters and shall es-
tablish any government we prefer. If
one day the French people," he COLI
tinued, should wish to create mon
archy, the emperor might object that
he had recognized a republic" The
preliminaries were soon settled, NapO-
leon signing for France, thus placing
himself on an equal footing with the
emperor of Austria. The formal treaty
known as Campo Formio was signed
In October, 1897. Austria fulfilling the
pledges she had already given. The
Austrian plenipotentiary protested
against the distribution of the prov
inces beyond the Adige. Napoleon was
angered at this, and, selling vase,
dashed it to the ground, exclaiming,
eff it is not so arranged I will break
your monarchy as 1 have broken this
vase'' This argument Of force, as
demonstrated to the diplomat was
convincing. and the treaty was signed.

Stories Of Some Masters of the Gentle
Art of Repartee.
Senator Ingalls, was always. quick
in retort, although he was himself
q subject of some sharp shafts. Once
he was attacked by Senator Eli
Salisbury of Delaware, the second
smallest state in the Union. He
disposed of the whole matter by say
ing, 81 thank the senator from that
great state which has three counties
at low tide and two counties at high
tide for his advice"
John Randolph of Roanoke was
the most sarcastic man ever heard
in the halls of congress, unless Da-
vid A. De Almond of Missouri be an
exception Both Randolph's and
De Almonds speeches drip vitriol,
but they are not epigrammatic and
are hard to quote. Randolph, who
hcurished in the ea.ly days of the
republic, when things were all un-
settled, was furiously attacked by a
Republican from Rhode Island who
had been a blacksmith. Randolph
was descendant of Pocahontas and
of the best blood of aristocratic sVir-
ginia. He replied to the presump-
tuous blacksmith: "What creden-
tials does the gentleman bring
From whence does he spring? And
why has he left his leather apron
behind?" The reply was Kissed
back, 81 sent it to Pocahontas to
make moccasins for his grandchil-
dren."
An illustration of the nimble and
caustic wit of Alexander Ell. Ste
phens of Georgia in senatorial de
bate occurred Oh the senate floor
during heated argument with Rob
ert Toombs, also of Georgia. Ste
phens, although possessed of one OF
the most powerful brains Of his
time, was lame and had a wizened
little body. Toombs was one of the
largest men in the senate and was
of a clustering, sputtering type. He
had argued with Stephens until he
was hoarse and became so exasper-
ated that he threatened to fight,
However, consideration of the size
of his opponent deferred him, and,
turning, he said, Il won't fight you,
but [ could swallow you whole.
Stephens quickly retorted, eff you
did you would have more brains in
your stomach than you ever had in
your head" = Frederic J. Haskin
