AT NAPOLEON'S TOMB.
{ BY RObt. Ingersol-(

A little while ago l stood by
the grave of Napoleon-a mag
nificent tomb of gilt and gold,
fit almost for "a deity dead and
gazed upon the sacrophagus of
rare and nameless marble, where
rest the ashes of that restless
man. | leaned over the balus-
trade and thought about the ca
reer of the greatest soldier OF
the modern world
l saw him walking upon the
banks of the Seine, conteinpiat-
ing suicide. | saw him at Tou-
lon-I saw him putting down the
mob in the streets OF Farls-I
saw him at the head of the army
of italy, saw him crossing the
bridge Of Lodi with the trlcolor
in his hand-I saw him IN Egypt
in the shadow of the pyramlds-
i saw him at Marenga-at UIm
and Austerlitz. l saw him at
Russia, where the infantry OF
the snow and the calvary of the
wild blast scattered has leglons
like winter 5 withered leaves. /
saw him at Liepsic in defeat and
disaster-driven by a million
bayonets back upon Paris -
clutehed like a wild beast-ban-
ished TO Elba. l saw him es-
cape and retake an empire by
the force of his genius L saw
hum upon the frightful field OF
W aterloo, where change and
fate combined to wreck the for
tunes of their former King.
And L saw him at st. Helena,
with his hands crossed behind
him, gazing out upon the sad
and solemn Yea.
L thought of the orphans and
widows he had made = of the
tears that had been shed for his
glory, and of the only woman
who ever loved him, pushed from
his heart by the cold hand OF am

Mr.. Bullock asserts that investigation
shows that the total cost Of removing
snow last winter was the highest in the
history of the city. approximately ga
500. 900. This amount. he says. was
raised by the issuance OF special revenue
