THE GREAT NAPOLEON, fe in an Imperial House- ‘ersonal Habits of the Ruler of France—Peculiar Characteris- tics of the Empress Josephine. I think it will not be amiss, says Mme. de Re- Mmusat in her interesting memotrs, to devote a few pages to the interior management of what ‘was Called “the Emperor's household.” Bona- Parte’s expenditure on dress was put down on | he bu slightl, it was necessary to send at 40,000 cs. Sometimes it eeded this sum. During campaigns him both linen laces and clothes to several pI at once. The slightest sense of inconvenience, or the smallest difference of quality in the Unen or cloth, would make him throw aside a coat or any other garment. He always Said he wished to dress like a stmple officer of his own guards, and grumbled continually at What, as he sald, “he was made to spend; While, from his caprice or awkwardsess, the entire renewal of his wardrobe was con- Stantly necessary. Among other destructive habits, he had that of stirring the wood fires with his foot, thereby scorching his shoes and boots. This generally happened when he was in a passion; at such times he would violently Kick the blazing logs in the nearest fire-place. ‘M. de Remusat' was for severa’ years keeper of ihe wardrobe, receiving no emoluments. When MM. de Turenne succeeded to that post, a salary of twelve thousand francs was awarded to him. Every year the Emperor himself drew up a Scheme of household expenditure with scrupu- Jous care and remarkable economy. During the Jast quarter of each year, the head of each de- artment regulated his expenses for the fol- lowing twelvemonth. When this was accom- plished a council was held, and everything ‘was carefully discussed. This conncll con- sisted of the grand marshal, who _ presided the great officers, the lutendant and the treas- urer tothe crown. The expenses of the Em- presss household were comprised in the accounts of the chamberlain, on whose budget they were entered. In these councils the grand marshal and the treasurer undertook to defend the Emperor's interests. The consul- tation being over, the grand marshal took the accounts to the Emperor, who examined them himselt and retu them with marginal notes, ter a short interval, the council tet agaio, under the presidency of the Emperor himself, who went over each item of expenditure anew. ‘These consultations were generally repeated Several times; the accounts of each department ‘were then returned to its ehief, and fair coples of them were made, after which they passed throrgh the hands of the intendant, who finally Inspected them, together with the Emperor, 10 Presence of the grand marshal. By these means all expenditure was fixed, and seldom, indeed, did any of the great officers obtain the sums for which they had asked. PARTE'S HOUR FOR RISING bit usually it was seven o’clock.

The other physicians or = on duty might not come unless summoned. Bonaparte seemed to put no great faith in medicine—it was fre- quently a matter of jesting with him; but he had great confidence i Corvisart, and much esteem for him. He had health and a wtrong Constitution, but when he suffered from. any tndtsposition he ve uneasy and ner- vous. He was occasi@ally troubled with a Slight affection of the skin, and sometimes com- lained of his liver. He ate moderately, drank ttle, and indulged in no excesses of any kind. He took a good deal of coffee. While dressing de was usually silent, unless a discussion apose between him and Corvisart on some medical subject. In everything he liked to go-straight tothe point, and if any one wa3 mentioned as being ill his first question was always, “Will he die?” A doubtful answer displeased him, and would make him argue on the ineffictency of medical science. He acquired with great difi- culty the art of shaving himself. M.de Remu- sat induced him to undertake this task on see- ing that he was uneasy and nervous under the hands of a barber. After many trials, and when he had finally succeed- ed, he often sald that the advice to shave himself with his own hand had been of signal Service to him. Bonaparte so thoroughly ac- customed himself during his reign to make no account of those abeut him, that this habitual disiegard pervaded all his habits. He had not any Of the delicacy that 1s ordinarily imparted by training and education, and would make his toilet in the most thorough fashion in the pres- ence of any person whomsoever. In the same Way, if he got impatient while his valet was Gressing him, he would tly into a passion, heed- Jess of all respect for himself or others. He would throw any garment that did not please him on the floor or into the fire. He attended to his hands and natls with great c.re. Several of nail scissors had to be in readiness, as ie would break or throw them away if Were not sufficiently sharp. He never made se of any perfume except eau de cologne, but of that he would get through 60 bottles in a month. He considered it a very wholesome praitice to sprinkle himself thoroughly with eau de cologne. Personal cleanliness was with him a matter of calculation, for, as I said be fore, he was naturally careless, When his toilet was concluded, WE WENT TO HIS CABINET, where his private secretary was In attendance. Precisely at 9 o'clock the chamberlain on duty, ‘who had arrived at the palace at 8 a.m. Carefully inspected the whole suite of rooms, that al! mie . and seen that the servants were at their posts, knocked at the door and anncunced the levee. He never en- tered the cabinet unless told to come in by the Emperor. I have already given an account of eyees.

Mine. Bonaparte waited for him with ble patience, neveruttering a complaint. The evenings, ch as I have already described them, termfnated early. During the winter of 1806 several small dances were given, either at the Tuileries or by one or other of the princes. ‘The Emperor would show himself for a short time, but always seemed weary and tndifferent. ‘The ceremonies for retiring to rest were much the same es those of the vvee in the morntt except that the officials on quty came in last receive their orders.

The Em- Tess Ji nine had a personal allowance of six andrea thousand francs. ‘This was far from sufficient, and every year she was heavily in debt. One hundred and twenty thousand francs were assigned to her for of charity. The ‘allowance of the arc! chess (Marie Louise) was but three hundred thousand francs, and sixty thousand francs for her privy purse. ‘The reason for this difference was that Mme. Bona- parte was obliged to assist a number of her oorer kinsfolk, and that there were claims on fer in France which did not exist for the Aus- trian archduchess; consequently her expenses were greater. Mme. Bonaparte was very lib- eral in gifts, but, as she never away any of her own ions, always purchased the presents she her liberality greatly increased her debts. Not- withstanding her husband's injuncttoi she could never conform, in her own manner of life, to order or to etiquette. {t was his desire that she should not deal directly with any shop, but on this point he was forced to yield. Her pri- vate apartments were crowded with them, as also with artists of all sorts. She had a mania for having her portrait taken, and would bestow it on any one whomsoever—relations, friends, attendants, or even trad yple. Diamonds, Jewelry, shawls, stuffs and finery of every kin Were continually being brought to her; she bought everything, never asking the price, and, for the most part, forgetting what she h: ur- chased. From the beginning, she gave her lady of honor and her stress of the robes to un- derstand that they were not to Interfere with her dress. She arranged everything with her dressers. There were, 1 believe, six or eigat of these. She rose at 9o’clock. Dressing was A VERY LONG PROCESS, and a portion of it was devoted to minute per- Sonal embellishments, including paint. This done, she put on a very elegant dressiny pore trimmed with lace, and placed herself in the hands of her hair dresser. Her undergarments Were embroidered and trimmed with lace. She changed every article of her attire three times a day, and never wore any but new stock- ings. Ifwe came to her door while her hair Was being dressed, she would have us admitted. When that stage was passed, baskets were brought in, containing gowns, bonnets and shawis. In summer these gowns were of mus- lin or cambric, richly worked and trimmed; in winter they were of woollen materials or of vel- vet. She then selected her dresses for the day. In the morning she always wore a hat trimmed with flowers or feathers, and full gowns that. wrapped her up a good deal. She from three to four hun- dred shawis; she sometimes had them made Ito gowns or bedquilts, or cuslons for her dog. She kept a shawl round her shoulders all the morning,and wore it with a grace I have never seen equalled. Bonaparte thought that she wrapped herself up too much, and would sometimes pull her shaw! off and fling it on the fire; she would then send for another. She pur- chased all that were brought to her, whatever their price. I have known her to give eight, ten, or twelve thousand francs for a cashmere shawl This was, in fact, oneof the extrava- gances of the court; no one would condescend vo wear a shawl that had cost only fifty louis, and the sums given for those worn by the court ladies were subjects of boasting. I have al- ready given an account of the manner in which Mme. Bonaj passed her life; it scarcely ever varied. She never opened a book, she never took up a pen, she worked scarcely at all, but never seemed to be dull. She did not care for theaters; the emperor objected to her folng to them without him, and receiving applause in which he did not share. She took walk- ing exercise only when at Malmaison, a residence which she was constantly em- bellishing, and on which she had spent large sums of money, to the grea displeasure of Bonaparte. When he reproached hi thts, Josephine would shed tears, promise careful, and go on as before. In the end, Bonaparte had to pay. Her evening toilet was conducted in the same manner as that of themorning. Everthing was of the test ele- gance; a dress or a wreal second time. The Empress’s hair was generally dressed, in the evening, with flowers, pearls, or precious stones. She wore yery low gowns, and, the richer her attire, the better she fooked ‘The quietest party, the smallest dance, was an opportunity for ordering a new dress, in spite of the quantity of finery stored in each of the pales for she had a positive mania for hoard- ing. It would be impossible for me to name the sums she spent on clothes of every kind. In every fashionable shop in Paris there was al- ways something being made for her. I have seen her wear lace trimmings worth forty, fifty, and even a hundred thousand franes. It seems almost incredible that this love of dress, which she could so fully gratify, peret deed away. At Malmaison, after the divorce, she LED THE SAME LUXURIOUS LIFE, and appeared in full dress, even when she ex- poe noone. On the day of her death, think- ug that the Emperor of Russia would perhaps come to see her, she desired her attendants to dress her in ah elegant morning gown. She breathed her last sigh attired in pink satin, with ribbons of the same color. The Empress obliged. us to expend annually a very large sum, in order to make ap) ice suitable to her ‘extrava- gant tastes. Her davguter’s attire was also very rich, for such was the fashion of the court; but Mme. Louis was both economical and ord» and seemed to take no pleasure in adorning her- self. Mme. Murat and incess Borchese, on the contrary, gave their whole minds to their per- sonal adornment. Their court dresses usually cost from ten to fifteen thousand francs, and at last they had them ornamented with real pearls, and even diamonds, which cost large sums. Ii, may be imagined that, with such taste as the Empress displayed, and the richness of the gen- tlemen’s uniforms, the court was _yery brilliant. On certain occasions it was really dazzling, and ees were greatly impressed by its spien- jor. gave ut **I HEAR THEE CALLING.” (The Tribune, ] Ihear thee through the stilly air, Calling, calling, calling : Ihear thee when the nicht is fair, When cloudless floata the radiant moon And pipes the frog in his lagoon {heer thy,caterwauling.

GARIBALDI’S MARRIAGE. Happiness that Lasted Sage | Day—A Sad but Romantic an (London World.) @ marriage of Garibaldi, which ha3 just ‘been annulled in the court micron took place under romantic circumstances, which are more widely known in ther eral burden than in thelr detail. Every! In- Europe is aware how, on the morrow of his wedding with Sig- nora Raimondi, he took his Gain for Cap- rera, and never again consented to see his wife. How the unfortunate affair was brought about only @ few friends remember. It was at the opentng of the campaign of 1859. Garibaldi was One ‘ale. scout the country between Varese and Como, and about to give his troops the order to advance when a handsome young lady on horse- entered the camp and requested the favor ofan audience, She was the eldest daughter of the Marchese Raimondi by a sister of the cele- brated cantatrice Signora Ronco. and she brought to Garibaldi, on what seemed to be un- doubted authority, the news of a concentration of Austrian troops, under Gen. Urban, on the Cona route. Garibaldi profited by the advice, went through the Borgho Vico Pass, and swept the Austrians past the lake. ‘The young Iris on horseback, however, had made such an impression on Stout heart that directly after the peace of Villafranca he roceeded to the Castello Fino, the seat of the Raimondi family, where he was halled as the liberator of Italy by his fair friend emong all others, seeing which, on the same evening, he asked her hand from her father.

HAVE FISHES 4 LANGUAGE? Seth Green Narrati the Re- sult of his estigations. TROUT THAT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FISHING ROD AND A STRAIGHT STICK—STBALING BAIT BUT AVOIDING THE BARBED HOOK. Messrs. Seth Green, Robert B. Roosevelt, and the Hon. Richard U. Sherman, the three State Commissioners of Fisheries, were interviewed in Rochester recently, after a visit of inspection to the State Ss at Caledonta, and ‘sald: Mr. Roosevel i “ Gentlemen, I can tell you that the man of the future will have to understand the language of beasts, and eda and fishes.” To this Mr. Seth Green added: “1 know that trout hold conversations just as ‘ly as we do. How would those trout out there in the Caledonia ponds know the dif- ference between a long in stick and a et Jar fishing rod, as they do, if they didn’t talk 1t over and compare notes?”” To-day the Sin correspondent visited Mr. Green for more information, and this question ‘was asked: “Upon what observations of the habits of fishes do you base your belief in an intelligent fish dialect?” te! peep upon my knowl of their forethought, sagacity, memory, and general in- telligence,” was Mr. Green’s answer. “In the first pond at Caledonia there are about 5,000 brook trout, each ot which was taken from its native waters witha fly. We caught a great many of them easily, because they abounded, and Seldom had been fished for in the wild, re- mote lakes of the Adirondacks. But when, atter they had taken the fly, we wound them slowly into our boats with the reel, they had a good chance to see the rod and line, and under- stand just how they came to be decoyed, caught, and transferred. Of course, they lived and kept healthy, for we put them in fresh water tanks and took good care of them. But, I tell you they have memories, and they never forgot the exact shape and appearance of the implements that took them from their native waters. After their transfer to Caledonta, they came to know me perfectly, for I ted them, and every time I came to the pond they followed me around and kept as close to me as course they displayed more life and determina- tion when I had a feed-panin my han but they were always friendly when they knew that it was perfectly safe to be 80. Frequently 1 have taken friends up to the pond with me to see these pets, and to show how smart they were. I would conceal a fishing rod behind my person fora while. The trout rematned on just as friendly terms as ever, until I held that fishing rod out over the water, where they could see it and the tackle. They nized it iustantaneously, as their former enemy, and got outof the way. Let me go along there with a clean stick and no tackle on it, and they pay no attention to it. For five years their memory has held out perfectly in this respect. All the other trout in the Caledonia ponds were hatched there from spawn, andas they had not any unpleasant experiences with fish- ing rods or tackle they are no more frightened When the Implements appear near them. than when the most friendly act is done for them. I never refuse an anxious or ambitious young man the privilege of casting a fly in the pon where the transplanted trout live, for I know that these fish have had experience enough to look out for themselves.” “But, Mr. Green, because these fish have memory you will hardly contend that their in- telligence reaches a point where language be- comes @ necessity?” “No, sir; but because they have a sagactous intelligence—not an instinct—which teaches them to oe by the fortunes or misfortunes that befall the family of fishes. How many men are there of whom the same can be sald with invariable truth? Talk about natural sa- gacity; why, I can point you to as striking in- stances of it, in a primitive form, among fishes as you ever heard of among men. In the winter of 1si0 Ihunted deer and fished for salmon tiout in and arotnd Bonaparte Lakes, just north of Herkimer county in the Adirondacks. fished, putting down 100 hooks through holes in the fee about eight rods a) These hooks were baited with good- of life as though at lbert; had been down the first night I took from them in the morning twenty-five good Each successive morning I got less and less, until on the eighth day the number of trout taken had diminished to seven or eight. But every bait was gone from every hook as on the first morning when 1 made the big haul I kKuew the trout hadn’t all been en trom those waters, but it was also apparent that I couldn't catch any more without removing my tackle. So I cut new holes in the ice and moved down about a quarter ofa mile. There my results were in exactly the same ratio as the first, and I had to move (a in seven or eght ‘gs. OnedayI ran a line of hooks in such a direction that one of them came right Gver a rocky bar, where there was open water. I decided to try an experiment with this hook. 1 fastened the upper end of the line to an over- hanging piece of brush, 80 that nothing could Sutertere with the bait’ below without making the brush wriggle. Then I lay down to watch. Very soon the brush began to wriggle in a lively fashion. Looking down into the water I Siw a inagnificent trout experimenting wich the minnow attached to the hook. Keeping as Close to the minnow as possible, he repeatedly snapped at it very cautiously, Teopening nis n:outh before he had fairly closed it, so as to revent Swallowing anything he did not want. \ hen the minnowfin its flight had gone as far as the line would permit, Mr. Trout made a more forciblesnap at it, so as tocut it almost en- tirely froin the hook. Down to the botton sank the minnow, and down after it darted Mr. Trout, gobbling 1t down at a mouthful, knowing that 1t was now safeto do so. Well, that was a pretty trick of his, and it was just that gamy way of doing things under the Surface that had compelled me to move so fre- quently. How came that trout, and every other one in the same waters, to adopt this .j identical mode of reasoning, conclusions, and tactics, except by means of a language which infermed him exactly what had been the disas- trous consequences with trout which had, on the other hand, taken the bait without precau- tion and strategy? Of course, all the fish, even in the same locality, were not privilegea to see the struggles and capture of the unfortunate ones. But there were few of them that didn’t know of it, all the same. However, I measured powers of strategy with these same smart fin- nies, and I beat them on their own groun@s. 1 managed it so that when I found a line wrig- gungt could drop it suddenly to the bottom, waich case the trout invariably down and swallowed the minnow, hook and all. The trout might have beaten me on this point, also, if I had given them time to get their heads to- Gvther and gossip over the matter till they coal agree upon some new tactics. But I n't.” “From your experience with these salmon trout, then, you argue that they live in fami- lies, have family secrets, and do not bother themselves above communication with any others than the members of the family and their nearest neighbors?” “That's it exactly; fishes are just as domes- tlc and local in their habits as human beings— more so, for those of the same tribe do not en- croach upon the territory occupied by their neighbors. To illustrate: In 1837, a company of us fishing for salmon trout off Port Hope, Ont. ‘The first year It wasn’t an uncommon thing for us to catch 150 trout of ten pounds each on 300 hooks. The next year the number caught at the same place dwindled down to about 100, the next to 50, and in less than six years it was 1m} ible to catch more than a dozen or fifteen on 300 hooks in the same place. Moreover, the few we did catch weighed three or four pounds apiece only. We had caught that ly all out. You couldn’t cateh any more there for years. Ihad peaiaely, the same experience afterward, off Cobourg, Grafton, and Colbourn. I knew one old trout up there at Caledonia that lived under the same old lo; for four years. I might do my best, but i couldn’t catch him with my tackle. He always managed to ee away with it without injury to himself and to the demolition of the bait, when there was any. @ne day a boy came along with a string anda hook and a worm, and he threw that old trout right out the very first cast. I gave him $5 for the fish, and was es to get him anyhow, after trying so hard and so often to no purpose. That old fish had studied my peculiar ways and means of fishing till he knew them and how to manage them, just as well as I did myself.” “And are trout the only species of fish that you consider intelligent and sagacious?” “By no means; 1 think they all know and realize about what's Soe around them. Take as another instance the little snad, three- fourths of an inch long, with which we stocked the Hudson and Connecticut rivers. When we deposited them in the river, on either si: they would head right out, for the middle the stream. They knew that there were hun- dreds and thousands of larger minnows than the shores for fear of the irds and indications of almost human lligen: also indications of a which expresses reason and instinct com! as does mankind.

The space in front of the chancel was utilized as a lodge room, and an altar was improvised out of a small valise, set up on end and covered with a cloth. On thfs lay a small and well-worn copy of the Bible, its open pages surmounted by the square and compass.

A young man was finally tound who agreed for $2 to take the contract, and he was led behind a couple of bedquilts, stretched across the corner of the church, Wo prepare him- self for the ceremony, while naturedly joked and guyed him as to his proba- ble fate. Rey. Mr. McFall furnished most of the material for the explosive element in the audi- ence by his threatening language and urgent calls for order. “YOU'RE DISGRACING BOSTON by such conduct,” he exclaimed, in a loud tone to a young man in the centre of the house. “It comes the other way; sir; 1t is you, not we, who area to Boston and to Christianity,” was the ready retort which was hurled at the now excited divine, and which caused deafen- ing SE pauee and cries of “Good!” “That's so!” and “True for you, Lg boy!” McFall persisted in irritating the crowd by his advice and sug- co and was only silenced when some one the rear shouted in stentorian tones, “Shut up; this is pretty business for a minister to be mixed up in!” At int a signal from behind the bed- juilts, in the corner, announced that the candi- jate was ready, and, handicapped with the title of “Rey. Stephen Jones,” tte oe) who did the novitiate for a $2 note emer led by Rathbun. The young man was clothed in a shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows and breast laid bare, a pair of cotton drawers rolied up to the knees, and a white apron secured by a cord at the waist. He was barefooted and was blind- tolded, a green handkerchief being bound about his head. “Rev. Stephen Jones,” was a well- built, healthy-looking fellow, who seemed to enjoy sport quite as much as did those who Witnessed the farce in which he was so im- portant an actor. The ceremony had scarcel got under way when the irrepressible McFall called upon a policeman to put out aman in the centre of the church. At this a grand chorus arose from all parts of the house: “You can’t put him out,” and above all rang out the yetce of the disturber: “My forefathers were born here, and fought for this land of freedom, avd you can’t put me out, and don’t you forget ii!” which declaration of rights was received With uproarious applause by some, and shouts oe “Shut up,” and ‘Sit down” by others, Just then the audience good- SIX POLICE OFFICERS ENTERED, ard the disturber concluded be wouldn’t argue ue peint any further at present. The entrance ot police served to quell the risibilities of the audience for a while, and Rathbun pro- cerded to “do” the “third degree.” “Rev. Ste- phen Jones” was led to the altar, and an oath Of the most solemn character was administered to him by Rathbun. This was repeated word for word by the candidate, who caused It laughter by continuing to repeat his i “‘uc- toi’s words, ‘Ladies and Gent en,” after the oath was concluded. From this point until the crowd finally dispersed, the scenes were, it is safe to assert, such as was never before wit- nessed in any place of divine worship in this city. A latent spirit of Indignation at the blas- phemous manner in which most sacred 0a pledges, and professions of fidelity were UR ty laughter and ridicule burst all bounds when the scene reached this point, and a deaf- ening chorus of jeers, and shouts filled alr, Some chap in the audience shied a cabbay at Rathbun, but missed his mark. “I have never,” exclaimed the target, “been so interfered with in the 25 states in which I have spoken.” A little “Pinafore” and a chorus of cat-calls greeted this remark, and one voice cried out, “The minister’s round, Stevie; look out for pocket-book.” A decidedly ludicrous scene was enacted when the candi- date was being marched up and down from the “East”to the “South” and ‘Kk to the “West,”a crowd in the centre of the house whist a fa- miliar and mirth-provoking snatch of song. ‘This was repeated at each pil, across the room made by “Rev. Stephen Jones,” and ‘THE UPROAR BECAME GENERAL. At precisely 9:30 o’clock the first man was “fired out” by the police, and Capt. Ford of the Third division, who was present in citizen’s clothes, was appealed to by another individual, whose right of free speech ho seemed to think, being interfered with. Thi party was advised to kee] quiet, the crowd as- suring him that he shouldn’t be put out. At this point the familiar “Caw! caw! caw!” of the “Three Black Crows” added not a little to the confusion of the scene, and Rev. Mr. McFall tried to make another 5] up” by the crowd. “Kev.” Mr. Stoddard es- uae harangue, but with little better success. A voice—‘If Masons who violate their oath are cut in twain and disembowelled, as the oath says, why 1s this man alive to-day preach- ing against Freemasonry?” Another voice—'Because they don’t dare do as they threaten!” = Just here an excited auditor sprang to his feet, and called upon all those who believed Rathbun and his stories about Masonry, to stand, upon whichsome 30 or 35 persons, includ- ladies in_ the centre of tne house, rose to their feet. Te call for “‘all those who ‘don’t believe him” Preaek up nine tenths of the au- dience, who supplemented this demonstration of their sentiments with a yell which would have done justice to a tribe of Blackfeet In- Afteranother half-hour’s confusion, in course of which Rathbun attempted to derend the course he had taken, dnd was, with Rev.
