Tony Romano, resided until seven
months ago.
The explosion. which was the most
terrific and destructive of the kind
ever known in St Louis. occurred
about 1 o'clock when the twenty fam
flies were asleep. So great was its
force that most of the residents were
thrown from their beds into the street
or buried under the wreckage.
Immediately after the explosion the
debris caught fire and it was with diff
ficulty that the rescuers were enabled
70 take some of those injured out of the
way of the flames. The police, aided
by three fire companies and many vol

and rushed into the streets.
Early this morning the chief Of police

NOTHING in the world was ever
more strangely contrasted than the
state in which Napoleon / lived
after he had shaken Europe by his
victories and his habits as the young
commander of artillery. When as
Emperor he made his campaigns,
his post seemed always rather the
centre of a brilliant court than the
headquarters of a general. T. e
severest etiquette reigned around
him; his officers were no longer re-
ceived at his table, and he was very
pains taking in his choice of those
to be admitted. He dined, so to
speak, in public, and while he ate
the people flocked around to feast
their eyes upon him. Meanwhile he
never appeared embarrassed or con-
fused by the excessive demonstra-
tions of respect showered upon him,
but behaved as though he had been
accustomed to them all his life. His
saloons were constantly filled by a
crowd of military officers and the
highest mobiles, and the most dis
tingulshed men of Europe, VIII O
came to solicit a favor of glance
or a momentary interview. Every
thing had succumbed to the bril-
liancy of his victories and the haugh-
tiness of his demeanor. He was no
longer the general of triumphant
republic, but a conqueror on his
own account.
