Nye. 1 ' " Will the ever indulgent and genial reader kindly pardon , a few terse words - regarding the life and public services of Napoleon? Napoleon was the legitimate ; i son of Carlo Bonaparte and Letizia Ba molino, his wife. I speak of hint as a .legitimate; son because in -writing - French h i story one cannot be too careful : i Napoleon was born at Ajaccio, in the ' island, of Corsica, Aug. 15, 1769, and June 18, 1815, broke .his molasses jug af Waterloo, - At the age of 11, years Napoleon eud"- ceeded in securing a chance to attend : the. military school at Brienne. He was NAPOLEON. ,r a good pnpil in mathematics, and early manifested his heroism by standing np bravely, in his threadbare garments and pathetic poverty among the sons of wealth, who hooted and insulted the pale Corsican and doubtless called him a "jay." Doubtless at no time in his whole life did his heart sink lower, even when he bade adieu to the Old Guard, than when he wrote home begging his parents to take him back and spare his proud spirit this bitter humiliation. In 1785 Napoleon was made a sub lieutenant of artillery on a salary that would not hare paid for his cigarettes had he used them. - Napoleon's family shortly afterward .joined the rebels, as they were called, because they undertook to free Corsica "". from the French yoke. But it was de . cided that Corsica looked better in a French yoke, and so fibe continued to ap pear in one. Napoleon was compelled to fight against his own family in this campaign. .. It might be well here to say that the father gambled a good deal and died poor. The mother was a noble, resolute - woman, and to her the Little Corporal owed no doubt the chief elements of his greatness. In 193 Napoleon was made captain, by which his pay was raised two francs, or about 40 cents, and another pair of red artillery pantaloons bestowed upon him. They were very baggy and cheap, 'put they covered a brave heart, and by cutting armholes in them Napoleon, who was a short waisted man, even at the height of his popularity, was en abled to go without a vest As lieutenant colonel before Toulon he distinguished' himself, and even at the head of a soiled pack of ragtag and bobtail yeomanry he saw the proud - armies of Spain and England compelled to evacuate the city. In 1794 he was made brigadier gen eral and sent to Italy, where he was greatly respected, but he got mixed up with "the Robespierres, and as a result was imprisoned in Paris July 28. A new period of poverty and misery now followed. His command was taken from him ; also his salary. He could not have his boots blackened. In his thin and threadbare artillery trousers he sat upon the bare stone flagging of his cell, and by doing so day after day some how got the impression,, that this is a cold, cold world. But fortunately a revolution broke out in Paris, and while looking for some one to be shot at the authorities sud denly thought of Napoleon. He was des perate. Death to him would be a large, attractive boon. He was called to take command. He gave the French hood lums a heroic prescription of grape and filled them with fear and appendicitis. He drove them to their holes and made them stay there. Thus he nipped a revo- Intion in the bud and laid the foundation for a vast pedestal, which he afterward had the brief privilege of occupying. . March 9, 1796, Napoleon married .-; - - Josephine Beauharnais, the widow of General Beauharnais, who, during the . revolution, or reign of terror, had re- " ceived in the neck a slight testimonial - from the French people which left Josephine ad interim a widow, full of ginger and high purposes, bereaved, yet , , hopeful, ambitious, high spirited, well . gaited,traveling"well either single or double, and not afraid of the cars. . Napoleon made the same error here v that so many great and gifted men make. Learned in mathematics, tactics and the general business of command he yet knew little of women. Any one who has ever been in Paris could have told him that he must be firm. , He should have studied woman as he would war, for was she not to become a part of the history of France? - VBnt, nay, nay," said Na-poleon. "I haven't time to study this gentle.- phe nomenon. I must wade in blood for - weeks at a time and gaze down the can non's month a good deal of the time . Why should I put in my evenings at the social functions and my afternoons at , the baseball game? All that I can do -,' when I am emperor. " "He thought that Josephine would joy- - fully remain at home" and scrape lint . while he went abroad piling the ground with Moslems slain or scaled the Alps or anything else that seemed to need it - "Why does a great man flatter himself - . uut uui go away iar iu or 11 years - seeing the country and leaving his wife " - at home to look out at the window day t after day. in a hotel watching the bus go down to meet Na 11 or to take pas sengers to .Nco,10, yet expect to find . her on his return younger and more beautiful, more devoted and more will ing to occupy the same room "17 years - more watching the bus as it goes to meet . No. 11 or to take passengers to No. 10, -going west? ' ' , - .S" v The-biographer has little space to 'di gress here, but had Napoleon taken Jose phine with him whenever he went into , a battle it would have been a great kind news not only to her, but to the historian. If Napoleon and Josephine had fought znore against the common enemy, they would have been oa a better peace foot ing themselves. ever those may be, had made Napoleon a commander, was denied the solemn joy of sharing his glory and his humili ation, . ; ' , Napoleon was called Le Petit Caporal and. was honored 100 years later by hav ing a cigarette named after him, but too late to swell his proud, cold bosom in the - ill ventilated - sarcophagus .which holds all that is mortal of the first "em peror. . . r , - - , Can storied urn or animated bust ' Back to the trachea woo the fleeting breath? Or Joyous psaan stir the moldering dust v Or toothS tbe dull, "cold ear of death? ? -" - No, indeed ! I should certainly say not. The marriage of Napoleon was- fol lowed by one of the most brilliant cam paigns in history. Eleven days after his wedding he went to complete his honey moon amid the rocks of the frozen Maritime Alps With his frost' bitten, starving army. "Maritime indeed!" methinks I hear Josephine remarking with a cynical look at her marriage certificate, and at a bright new silver butter dish gives her by the nobility of France. ''What an attractive .bride I must be, with one husband passed on to spirit life and the other eating his frozen victuals 5,000 feet above timber line!" V 1 . . . , From these lofty heights the little Corporal, wearing a large pair of ear muffs, descended upon a first, second, third and fourth Austrian army, only to drive them before him into a corner and wipe them out at his leisure.: Peace fol lowedthe peace of Campo Formio and Lombardy and the Netherlands were ceded to France. Space will not permit of detail here regarding the great battles of Napoleon, but we may say that with these victories the powers at home saw at once that he was no longer their servant, but the people's idol, and that one day he would not only wield the baton for France to fiddle, but that Europe and the civilized world must soon mark down their se curities when Napoleon said so. He proposed to conquer Egypt and capture the pyramids. He had the idea that they would look well in the front yard of Versailles. He lived in the sad dle and sniffed in every breeze the warm blood of his foe. Such a life would bore me to death, bnt just see how different Napoleon was ! He kept on fighting Christian or Mos lem, Jew or gentile, until the thirsty yet blood clotted jaws of insatiate war were paralyzed, and with yet hungry and staring eyes and lolling tongue the cruel beast that had peopled a continent with widows and orphans, sowed the valleys thick with graves and filled the snowy canyons of the Alps with un known dead paused at the evening of a great disaster and found itself deserted. Yet Napoleon was feared even after he was dead, and the English piled tons upon tons of granite over his poor clay and bound these giant blocks of stone together with bands of iron, so that many years afterward the work of ex humation was almost impossible. But why is it that with all the glory that Burrounds the name of Napoleon every human heart beats more in sym pathy with his wronged and wrong but discarded wife and human interest turns from the history of Marengo and of Austerlitz to read the story of one poor, ambitious, broken heart that beat and bled for him? It is not the first case wherein a de voted wife has kindled in her husband's breast the fire of ambition only at last to be consumed by it and cast to the four winds of heaven by his hand. Had Napoleon fought with the Mos lem foe summers and spent his winters in Paris with his wife the war would have lasted longer and his domestic his- n r - -mm arm - wr i-ww-iw.sr a -mw w -w rmm - ' . . .. tm .

Correspondence oT the Observer, u - . . Vejticb, J sly 21. Perhaps yonr read ers will pardon me for writing, a few lines for publication, and you, too, will bear with me ia a short letter. Prom the. heading of this letter yon will see that I am now in ''beautiful Venice' one of the most magnificent? cities of n.orope. one may read of and hear about this wonderful city, but nothinc short of visit in person will give any thing like an adequate idea of what it really is. It seems , strange to be met at the railway station with an-omni- Dus" (gondola) and go right out a mile at sea before reaching the city proper. The canals wind in and out among dirty? dingy looking lines of houses, and are made , to reverberate with the chatter and calls of the gondoliers. All along the way we saw - mothers stand ing on the front door steps, homing the end of a rope while a child attached to the other end floundered In childish glee ia the dirty water of the lagoon. At last we glided op to the depot and stepped out of the gondola into the ho tel. All-these things are new and strange to the uninitiated American, I. count myself happy that I should have arrived in Venice at this particu lar time. We are in the very height of tne annual "f esta del- Kedentore. great popularity.

If the President were to use this leadership to nominate bis f m mediate successor very- much of the popularity he enjoys would A be lost. But so long as he goes ' ahead in the ordinary discbarge of the duties of his high station he is sure of the respect, not to say admiration, of his whole party.- No man in that office, it is probable, has ever had so full a measure of popular regard, due alone to the man ner in which he has conducted himself in the presidency.- Others have been popular because they were heroes or rounders or parties before they were Presidents. Neither Mr. Jefferson nor Gen.

Even Senator Hill loves to steal away for an afternoon and just gorge himself with baseball. Even the presi dent of the United States, with able counselors all about him and every good inOut-uce of home and friends exerted in his behalf, will no doubt, in spite of it all, go down to his grave spitting on his bait with childlike confidence. "Even you yourself," said a friend to me the other day, "behind that wide and winning smile of yours yet have, no doubt, your own weak spot. " " Yes, indeed, ' ' I exclaimed roguishly, "I have, and you have put your finger right on it the first time too. It is right behind that wide, winning smile of which you speak." He 'Will Shell Peas.

All sorts of designs and floats were to be seen; for instance, a splen did fountain in full play, all composed of many -colored lights in the ton and centre of which was a glowing crown of fire. There were dozens of different designs, all in fire. Along shore there were forty or more arches, some 30 feet tall, all one blaze of light; great build ingsliterally wrapped in luminous glory! It was enough to turn one's head dizzy with the incongruous splendor and daz zle of it all. There never was a time, either, when there were not other gondo las in arm's length of our own,' and when one ran too near or touched the other, which was a very frequent oc currence, the gondoliers would shout at and abuse each other with their gibber ish till I was more inclined to believe the Darwinian theory than ever beforn. Just at midnight the disslav of rjvro- technics began, and they were, many of them, new and exquisite in design. At last we reluctantly turned our prow homeward, but we were not destined to return without excitement, and on ac count of the fete bo many extra gondo las were out that there was a perfect jam. The incoming tide sent boat after boat crashing against each other till it seemed a perfect impossibility ever to get free again, and all the time we were on the verge of being capsized. One gondolier was knocked from his boat and disappeared in thedark water while the boats closed in, rendering his chances tor life almost impossible. He was not further than half a dozen feet from us when he fell, and I can scarcely be lieve he ever came up again. There was little excitement over the occur rence, but these miserable people think no more of a drowning man than an American would of a drowning rat. The incident completely upset me and l couia scarcely sleep when I returned. Finally we reached home and were glad enough to get out of the fete, commem orative of some heathen happening in the palmy days of the Doges. There are many wonderful things to be seen and heard in this city of islands and canals. The Venetian government was once one of the greatest nowera nf earth.

He further charges fraud and irregularity, which I summarize for the other counties, fol lowing his table at the end, thus: Top sail precinct, Pender, 22; Rocky Point precinct, 90; Stewartsville, Richmond. 295; Ansonville, 146; Lanesboro, Anson, ii ; iJiiesvine, Anson, 263, WadesborO, 546; Blue Springs, Robeson, 250, mak ing 1,998 votes to be subtracted from Lockhart's vote. But he adds 50 votes in Smith's precinct, Robeson, to Lock hart's vote, and thus reduces this sub traction to 1,948. He adds to Martin 8, Charlotte, Ward 4; 103 Uockingham; 50 Mineral Springs,' Richmond; 21 Lanesboro; 180 Lumberton; 200Maxton; 143 Red Springs; 169 Alfordsville, Robe son; 313 Thompson, Robeson; 200 Smith's, Robeson; 47 Columbus county ; 85 Holly, Pender; 38 Burgaw, making 1,557.

Total subtracted from Lockhart and total added to Martin, 3,230. Subtract 272 majority for Lockhart and he claims as his own actual majority 2,958. In his answer Mr. Lockhart gives the official returns made by the State re turning board by counties, footing up 444 instead of 384, as stated by Rev. Martin. Both give the Mecklenburg vote as the same, and so of all the coun ties except Anson, Brunswick and Co lumbus. In Anson the contestant sum the vote stood Lockhart 1,505, Martin 1,116; Martin says 1,510 and 1,118 re spectively. In Brunswick Lockhart states it: Lockhart 688, Martin 1,171: Martin, 058, 1,171, respectively. In Co lumbus Lockhart has it: Lockhart 1,192, Martin 1,324; Martin, 1,192. 1,577. Mr. Lockhart says: "lam informed that some 35 or 40 students at Davidson College voted in the said election and that some of them voted for me; the ex act number I do not know; nor have I so far been able to ascertain. I do not know whether said students werequali- nea voters or not. Tnat, is a Question for what they bad election, to the presidency. Mr. Lin coln conquered dislike, too, but Mr. Lincoln was a war President, the savior of the Union with Gen.- Grant, and these two Presidents are to be reckoned as having achieved popularity as Presi dents by a different means than those by "which Mr. Cleveland has since achieved it.
