An interesting feature of Ma Senior's contri- i bution Is the various pictures we have of Napo- | lion IIL. | Sometimes we see him through the ‘yes of friends and then of enemies. Among those who loved the Emperor was Mme. Cornu, the wife of an eminent artist, whose mother had | been dame de compagnie to Hortense. Mme. | Cornu had been brought up as a sister to Louis Napoleon, visiting him every year during his ings. She remained devoted to him until the coup d’état, when, being a republican, she broke her relations, and in spite of all Imperial ad- | years. Mine. Cornu died before the war of is70. | ¢2Rdid companion and friend. who had loved mip the days of his misery, and quarreled With him in the days of his power, !s a curious character. Mme. Cornu thought that the Emperor's long exclusion from soviety did him harm in many | ard that it would have spoiled his man- but for having “always betore him so ad- mirabs model as his mother. It had made bim somewhat of a parvenu,—what you call a tuft hunter. He looked up to people of high yank with a mixture of admiration, envy, and dislike. The more dificult he found it to get into their society the more he disliked them said thgt the political education of the Em- | peror had been based upon the works of the | mother and her iriends. ‘He liked England. | France he never knew, because he had never ived there, except as ‘a calld, a prisoner, and | a sovereign. He was a Frenclman of the } France that existed from 1799 to s13, founded | by Napoleon during his thir.een years | of despotism, war, and victory. All-we hear about liberty, self-government, economy, su- premacy nations, and fidelity to treaties appeared to him to be the silliest trash.” He had no sympathy With the better classes in France, and no desire for war. He was deeply affected by distress which he actually saw, Dut indifferent to that which was not brought before hic in detail. Mme. Cornu telis a pretty story of going io see him at Ham one day, and finding him in great { Emhtisgra! ren anatase | ly In great ress, and of Napoleon giving | the family all bismoney.

About this time Napoleon was busy ete 3 his life of Cvsar, in which work he delighted. | He found no pleasure so great as stealing {ato Ms brary aud working at his book. We learn | from Mme. Corn that before the death of his | elder brother Napoleon was mild, unambitious, | unpressionabie, affectionate, delighting in art | and literature. He often referred to it asa blessing that he had two before him in the suc- cession to the first Napoleon—the Duke of Ketehstadt and his own brother. “So,” ne | sald, “Jhat I can be happy in my own’ way, instead of being, as the head of our house must ve. a slave to a mission.” Mme. Cornu | said that from the day of his brother's | death the Emperor was another man, and she could compare hts feelings as to his mission only to those Which urged the first Apostles and | artyrs. “This mission,” Mme. Cornu said, “was first the Napoleonic dynasty and then France,” and yet she thought it did not arise from personal ambition, because he had always sald, and she thought ‘sincerely, that if there | were any Detter hands to whom lig could trans- mit that duty he would do it with delight. But It his duty to his dynasty to perpetuate ir, | and to France that he should give her influence | abroad and prosperity at home. This devotion to the dynasty has culminated in the worship of his son, and he feared nothing so mucn as a revival of a European coalition which would re- new te proseription of the Bonapartes. ‘The | Emperor hated restraint and opposition, but to | the one great object—the perpetuation of his dynasty—he would sacriiice “Europe, France, his dearest riends, and even himself.” Among other of bis traits was a willingness to ad- jourp, to change or give up bis means if bet- ter occurred and to confess mistakes. He en- | jJoyed the pleasure of astonishing people, “in | making Europe and France, and, above ali, his | own ministers stare.” When he resolved to act he did so “without consulting his friends or his | ministers.” He would talk freely, give loose | to his ideas, let them flow one after another at their will, “tll at last something pleased lis Imagination; he seized it and thought him- seit inspired.” He was subject to fits of pas- sion, When he would break bis furniture in his rage, “but hts powers of self-command were Teully marvelous.” ‘The first sign of emotion in him,” said Mme. Cornu, “is a swelling of his nostrils, like those of an excited horse; then his eyes become bright and his lpsquiver. His lo! mustache ts intended to conceal his mouth, and he has Cog hiseyes. When I first saw Dim, in 1S4s, ] asked him what was the matter witb his eyes. ‘Nothing,’ he said. A day or two after Isaw bim again. They had still the odd appearance. At last I found he had been accus- toming himself to keep his eyelids halt closed and to throw into his eyes an affected dreamy expression. I cannot better describe the change whieh came on him afier his brother's death than by saying that he tore his heart out of his bosom and surrendered imself to his head.” NAPOLEON AS EMPEROR. Mme.

Some-of our Congressmen who hold on to office the longest, and talk the most and the loudest, don’t—but I digress. The elephant listened to the rest of the animals AS Itttle while, and then he said to the giraffe: 7 “Who Is your candidate for President?” «“ Blaine,” said the gitatfe. i “Yes,” the elepnant sald, “that’s you. Your ideas ore always away up. You can’t get your head outof the top of a pine tree. Jus. be- cause Mr. Blaine was so quick to see where the Siraffe came in, in Dr. Garcelon’s menagerie, }ou think he will pay particular attention to you. You take care of yourself, my aristo- cratic friend. Your head isn’t as iong as your neck, by forty feet. You can’t come the giraffe over Mr. Blaine. I say, Old Faithful,” he con tinued, addressing the big dog in the ‘Happy Family,’ “Who js your man?” ‘The Newfoundiand sald he was for Joun Sherman. - “ Yes.” the elephant sald, ‘because he’s in terested in the cur-rency. if he ts‘elected you will want the tariff put upon dogwood, just tbe same as Peruvian bark.

Ah, you Seventeenth Wari resurrectionist, you'll run against a Circleville torpedo some of these days that will knock that smile of yours into a cocked hat. Any re- spectable citizen of Te ag ee ready to ex- Press his preference before I close the per i che ‘tortoise said he was in favor of Fitz-John Porter. “Of course you are,” said the elephant, “be- cause he moves just about fast enough to sult our gait. If he doesn’t move forward any ivelier for the Presidency than he did for General Pope, he won't hear of the nomina- tons until six weeks after the election. You'd make a running mate for him in war- time, and you ought to get along pretty well in ities. ‘The next zoological wonder and Itv- ing curiosity will step up lively; can’t keep these polls open all night; we've got to dress for the evening performance yet.” The turkey expressed himself warmly io favor of David Davis. “Right you are,” said the elephant. “And that’s because he xr you company on the fence all the time. Moreover, he looks more ifke me than any of the other candidates, and it iseminently proper aud respectful tn you to support him on that account. Any other voice from the plains and the jungles?” — gopher shouted as lustily as he could for r. “Sure enough,” said the elephant, ‘‘because he stays in his ttle hole all the time, just like yourself. Well, gopher him if you wisu: this is a free country, ail except the menagerie which cests you one quarter of a dollar every ume you look at it. Come now, lively Or you lose your yotes; po Ise The wild ass of the rt here stepped to the front and roared his voice for Mr. De La Matyr, of Indiana, amid the wildest enthusiasm and loud hootings throughout the tent. Theelephant winked at the cages with a merry twinkle in his eye. ‘That's right, my brave cactus-eater,” he sald, “you_are natur- y and properly one of Mr. De La Matyr's fol- ers. Brays him up tothe skies if you want to. Nepotism is fashionable in this country now. Next voter?” The monkey timidly said that if he were al- lowed a vote he would vote for— “Proctor Knott!” roared the whole mena- gerie. but the elephant said steraly, “There how; enough of that; no intimidation at the | polls. Noone else. Oyez, oyez! The polls are closed and the judges will now proceed to count the ballot.” He then announced the result of the vote as follows: Grant, 54. “Bui inquired the animals, “how does that com “Well,” sald the elephant, “it comes, all the | Same, and don’t you forgetit. Don’t I weigh more than all this menagerie put together? pleas do you animals know about politics, any- ow?” Ana the animals were well pleased to think they were allowed to vote any how, and they were delighted that the election was over and their man elected, 80 they gave three cheers for Grant, and roiled around In the straw to dress for the evening’s performance.

Betore the French revolution, the members of the royal family and the grand lords and ladies never thought of doing anythtug for themselves, ; Uhat others could do forthem. Taine, In his “Ancient Regime,” gives a curious Dastration of the effect of this enforced helplessness. In the course of a convel daughter of Louis nun, Mme. de Genlis said, ‘I should like to know what troubled you most in to your new profession.” * ution with Mme. Louise, the XV, who was a Carmelite ‘tting accustomed ou could never im- agine,” she replied. It was the descent of a small flight of siete alone by myself. At first it seemed to me a dreadful precipice, and I was obliged to sit down on the steps and slide down in that attitude. The princess had never descended any Staircase save the grand one at Versailles, and only that while leaning on the arm of a noble cavalier. The steep and winding steps of the convent, therefore, seemed appall ing when she had to descend them alone. A Story Is told of the duchess of Edinburg, the daughter of the czar of Russia, which exhibits & similar training. Shortly after her marriage with Victoria’s son, the duchess was enter- tained at a nobleman’s house. A rty was. made up to visit the extensive Sreenhat the duchess leading, as was her right, the way.In passing up the narrow aisle of one of the houses, the royal lady came to a closed door. The pas- sage Was too narrow for any of her suite to pass ‘her and open the door, and she stood as motion- less as a statue. “ Oblige me,” sald the duke in a whi “by sending some one around to open the door from the other side, for she'll not open it if she stands there for a month.” It may excite a smile to read such iUustrations as these of the physical helplessness involved in the etl- quette of royal households; and we fear, that a training similar in kind. if not in degree, marks mapy American families. In a recent sermon, he Rev. Washington Gladden, ot Springield, lass., spoke of the fact that some American girls sre brought up to learn nothing and do | Rotbing, He referred to one woman who was ud that her daughter never did any sweep- Ing, and to another who never let her daughter do any kitchen work. Such training must fos- ter Selfishuess and indolence, and a loss both of respect and of true regard for othera.— FoutW’s Companion, ain Review 3 [San Francisco Exchange. } A San Francisco publisher sent a Bey, tet elton to a Bodie editor the r a great map. whose labor, prior to taking charge of an influential mouniain jour- nal, had been principally conilued to writing po ice items for the metropolitan papers during the winter, and taking exercise in the harvest eary him the volume, and remarked Ditterly:—“* More new books to review, I sup- pose,” Look out his tobacco Knife and proceeded Jeisurely to cut the virgin Ae “Milten, Milton,” he musingly; “some New Yorker, I suppose; well, here goes for to- morrow’s edition, anyhow.” “We recelved yesterday 8 copy of Jonn Mil. ton’s poems from the enterprising pul Dg houeork Xe San Pranciscy.

Thisis quite enough forus, John Mil- ton woud do better to return to his legitimate newspaper sphere. He may be able to describe & masquerade ball or a street row, but in our opinion he 1s a very poor poet.” “This will do for Milton,” said the editor, as he passed the copy into the foreman and turned with relief to the perusal of a reported strike in Scuth Bulwer. Exiles in Siberia. We have heard it calculated by a very mod erate Russian Liberal that there are at least 25,000 men of the higher rank3 im Russia who are now cither in Siberia, or at least exiles trom Kussia, and aware that to return there would cost them their liderty at once—of whom not many hundreds are involvea in the Nihilist conspiracy. If anything like that esul- mate be the truth, the explanation of this wholesale indifference to Nihilism among the higher orders of the Russians ts obvious at once. Conceive the feelings of a Russian family the most promising of whom are either in eee or inexile without hope of return, and this fer no better reason than the suspic- jons of the Police Department. Of course, such a family feels, and can feel, no sympathy with the authorities, and no adequate horror at the band which strikes such terror into the au- thorities. And this indifference to Nihilism among large Classes who are not themselves Nihilists, of course reacts ay on th: Nihilists, makes them feel themselves any- thing but outcasts, gives them even something of the character of heroes in their own eyes, since, without forfeiting the regard and respect of their class, they yet go beyond that class, in the sacrifices and risks they pasate) remove, as they think, the evils from which all alike ‘suffer. OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. THE EVENING STAR THE WEEKLY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. The Spectator, ‘The EVENING STAR, (on Saturday's a double sheet or eight page paper of fifty-six columns, the size of the New York dailies), is everywhere recognized as the leading newspaper of Wash- ington. With two exceptions only, if has (he largest circulation of any daily paper publisiet south af New York, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE ‘THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY. Every issue of THE STAR ts carefully read not only by the citizens of Washington and ad- Jacent cities, but by the throngs of strangers constantly visiting the National Capital on business or for pleasure, (and who constitute, in a very large degree, the purchasing popula- tion of every State and Territory in the Union), thus making it for most purposes THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. Its influence as an agent of publicity has in- deed practically no limit within the boundaries of the country. The best evidence of this ts the number of new advertisewents it printed in the year 1879, which reached 20,636, averaging from 1,700 to 2,000 per month in the busy season!! These figures include only the sub- ject of the advertisement, and not any change of the matter, which, in some instances, is made daily, and, although a new advertisement in fact, is not counted but once, instead of 310 pup- lication dates. The advertising books are open to the inspection of advertisers to verify this Statement, or an affidavit of its truthfulness wii} be submitted.
