Height of Napoleon.

The question of the exact height of
the, Emperor Napoleon is one of con-
siderable interest, and yet it is al
most impossible to find any authorita-
tive statement on the subject. In the
appendix to Napoleon; the Last
Phase" by Lord Rosebery, there is a
statement by Captain Maitland that
he was about feet inches in height,
and another by Mr.. Bunbury that he
appeared to be about feet inches.

Neighborhood Woes

Ny neighbor keeps a Tot of
bees. which much annoyance
bring me, for when sit beneath
the trees, they come along and
sting me. Another neighbor keeps
pup, the which I'd ike to ham
m'er all night it shakes the welkin
up, with most disgusting clamor ;
and when | try to do a bit of
ground and lofty sleeping, that
NANCY bow-wow throws fit, its
noisy vigils keeping. And still
another neighbor owns a husky
short-horn rooster, and ono
may hear its strident tones
from Walloo clear to Wooster.
And when the pup, whose music
clogs, grows weary of its carols,
the rooster springs lot of noise
about a million barrels. Be
tween the rooster and the bees,
the concerts, dog-and-catty, my
mind is bagging at the knees-I
fear I'm going batty. The life we
live would be less raw, and peace
would bless our labors, if Con-
