BONAPARTE. Napoleon the First a De perate Adventar- er, Who Played for Empire With Loaded Dice. I have just come from one of mv | vieits tothe tomb of Napoleon, writes | Henry Watterson to the ¢ourter-Jiur- | vai. Itis altogether the most beauti- ful, and at the same time the most im- posing sepuicher in the world. The anrcophagus. of the richest porphyry. stands in a lowered crypt, or vesiibuie, or basin, and, instead of looking up, you look down upon it. ‘The canopy, | erected in the Hotel des Invalides to incase this patriotic and martial shrine, is magnificent, surpassing any- thing of the kind known to ancient or modern times. It isconnected with the great chapel of this home for the old and disabled soldiers of France, and has within it iesser chapels and niches, which contain other monuments and tombs, that to the great Bonaparte oc- | cupying the rotunda beneath the dome. Subdued light from many-colored stained-glass windows fittingly illumin- ates the place, effigies in gold and marble decorate it, and, from a massive altar of precious stones and metals, death sevens to smile upon life. ‘To my mind Napoleon Bonaparte ex- ists as a type of all that is wicked and monstrous in buman nature and destiny; an arch-fiend, with frenzied vift of military ambition and genius; and in no sense worthy of such atemple. It cou'd find, indeed, no adequate reason tor being, except that it stands not alone as a monument toa famous war- rior, but also a» a symbol of national pride and glory. Iliogical as it may be, and unchristian, yet as long as might can force its way against mght, 1 suppose men and women will con- tinu= to fall down and worship mere prowess. Bonaparte was not a statesman and he was not a patriot. He was not even a Frenchman. He was a vulgar for- eign adventurer, who had discovered a new trick of war, precisely as a gambler might discover a new trick of cheating, and, greatly favored by fortune, he played his marked cards successfully until they were revealed to other ex- peris and began to be played ba-k ; upon h.m, wuen down he went, like ‘any other charlatan. He had neither the self-restraints of a great character nor the sagacity of a great intellect. That he was, personaliv, a coarse, vain- glorious bully and egotist we have abundant testimony for believing, and none to the contrary; and, thouzh he has lain im this gorgeous mausoleum less than balf a century, and, thouzh the land is full of memorials which he caused to be erected in his honor, no in- fluence of his can be found which is not distinetly a curse. He founded neither asystem nor asaynasty. The code to which he attached his name was none of his. The one sucerssor, bearing that name, who toliowed him upon ‘the throne, was not a Bonaparte at all, but notoriousivy the illeguimate son of a Duich admirai by Hortense, the daugn- ter of Josephine, whose case in equity was thus at iast made good. Even in this direction, however, the line was ypped; and there is xbout as much liketimood of the son of Pion Plon wear- ing the imperial purple as of the statue upon the Colome Vendome descending j from its elevation and taking the reins | of power. | ‘Tne ove titled race in France meaner ; than the Bonapartes—the Orleans fam- ily—are in an cqually poor way of re- covering their lost supremacy; so that whatever may have been the past of French history, the future, under the republic, begins to wear a tolerably hopeful aspect. The only part of the population who would, if they couid, Tesiore monarchical government are the shop-keepers and the nymphs du pave ot Paris, with whom prosperity and de- bauchery are more or less synonymous teris. The mass and the body of the peopie are republicans.

A good story is wid of a young re- eruit who recently enlisted at Camp Hancock, near Atlanta. The young fei- low joined the army while the country was threatening war with Mexico, and he intended making a good soldier. One day he was on guard duty, and was slowly stepping along when an officer approached. After the usu:! saute the offi-er said: * Let me see your gun.” The raw recruit handed over hi- Sprin-field ritle and a pleased expres- sion stole over his face. As the officer received the gun be said ina tone ot deepest disgust: “You're a fine soldier! You've given up yeur gan, and now what are you going to do?” The youny Atlantian turned pale, and reaching for his hip pocket drew a big six-shoorer and preparing for business, said in a voice that could not be misunderstood: “Gimme that gun, or I'll blow a hole through you in a pair ’o minutes!’ The officer instantly decided not to ‘“mon- key” any further with the raw recruit. and the gun was promptly surrender- fiom tearing out. USED ON iLL OF OUR HARNESS. SOUTH SIDE SQUARE BUTLER MO. : This story brings to mind one that is told of a Confederate guard who was on duty over in South Carolina. An officer was discussing war matters and remarked: “You know your duty here, do you sentinel?” Yea, sir.” “Weil, now, sup) they should open on you with shells and musketry, what would you do?” “Form a line, sir.” “What! one man form a line?” ‘Yes, sir; form 4 bee line for camp, sir.’” One day Beauregard with several les- ser lights came upon a sentinel who had taken his gun entirely to pieces, ee Pai and was greasing lock, stock and bar- ‘ . t rel. The great general looked like a } thunderbolt, but neither his flashin uniform nor the scowl upon his face h any effect on the sentinel, who quietly proceeded to rub a piece of his gun. “Say,”’ remarked an officer, “that's Beauregard there.
