IMb Abchibald Fobbt-b' " Life of / Napoleon ill." contains some interest- ing passages. Tbe NAPOLEON 111. coup d'etat made AND T.ouis Napoleon BISMARCK. Emperor of the French, and thence* forth, for some fifteen years, he became the most important figure on tbe Continent of Europe. It was said of him that on being asked whether he should not find it difficult to rule the _ French nation, he replied : " Oh, no ! Nothing is more easy. They only need a war every four years." This policy held good m a modified degree. The Crimean war was for him a success, although not precisely a triumph. The Italian campaign, m spite of its hard fought victories, ended abruptly m approximation to a failure. Tbe Mexican expedition was an utter fiasco. Yet Napoleon might have gone on with his programme of a war every four years, but for the circum- stances that there happened to be m Europe m the middle sixties an infinitely subtler, more masterful and more ruse man than the dreamy and decaying Napoleon. When he and Bismarck walked along the Biarritz beach m October, 1865, Bismarck ex- pounded his political speculations as they strolled. "Is he mad?" the Emperor whispered to Prosper Merimee, on whose arm he leaned. Before another year was over the Schleswig- Uoleteia controversy had taught Napoleon that madness bad no part m the character of Otto von Bismark. The Prussian Premier was his superior m energy, m determination, and m finesse. At every turn he foiled the French Emperor. The practice— whioh of late has become prevalent — of giving bob fly remedies or ordinary colio chinks, without proper dis- crimination the moment a horse is taken bad cannot he tro severely condemned. Many a valuable horse has been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simple t-ymptoiriß So-eal-fcd iearvdies, inimical to life under cer am ccr\itions, are ad- ministered, with the resul, that the disorder assumes an acute form, the owner becomes alarmed, but alas !it is often too late. W T Kingston has been wonderfully Buccessfol during the late epidemic among horses. Veterinary medicine can be obtained at all hours, either a* his Veterinary Forge, Wills Street, or at Kis private residence, Grey Street, near High School.

TOWN LOT NO. 1303. (Continued.) out of the hands of the affable young man with the diamond pin he would have abandoned 1803 and fled. But the day of grace was past. He wont down the marble steps into the street. The first object to greet him was a notice of sheriff's sale tacked on to an unfinished building. Yea, the bomb had burst. Like an eoho of his thought a tumult of noises rose behind aim. Yells of "Takeoare!" "Look out!" pierced the olatter of the wheels and the mad gallop of hoofs. But he never saw the peril — the heavy wagon, the frenzied horses and pallid driver. They were on him before he could turn his head. The horrified people dosed, m the wake of the runaway, over a tram- pled heap of olothes, pulled from under the wreok of a wagon. Something like a dripping red blotoh, with a blaok circle jammed over it, meant a man's head under his hat. The driver limped up presently. His first inquiry after his horses having been gratified by the sight | of them, with heads hanging, knees trembling and standing m a oowed fashion at a little distance, he be- thought him of the heap. Was he hurt much? "Neok broke; that's all." Qus, feebly creeping out of a roaring blaokness into the light and the sense of real sounds, heard every word. They were like hammer blows. Life is sweet even to the wretohed, but it was not of life Qus thought; it was of Lizzie and the ohildren and the insurance polioy whioh would lapse tomorrow. They heard him try to whisper. It was a name — "Mrs. Crowe, secondhand wo- man." That was the reason for Mrs. Crowe's presence at the hospital half an hour later. Wooden as ever, she stalked up to the cot and seated herself. The doc- tor and nurse were too much startled by her inexplicable height when she sat down to notice any change m her face. The patient was unoonsoious. He had not spoken since he pronounced her name. Mrs. Crowe, m her emotionless voice, told them to send far bis wife and children. "In a carriage; I'll pay, " said she. She indioated Gus with her thumb, looking the dootor m the eye, "Goin to die?" A voioe from tho bed answered hor, "Yes, Mrs. Crowe. " "I didn't ask you," said Mrs. Crowe. "You don't know nothin about it." "But 1 am. I've been mistaken both times I contradicted you before," he tried to smile with his bruised, stiff lips, "but I ain't now. Mrs. Crowe — Lizzie — the best wife" — "Give him some brandy," said Mrs. Crowe. He gulped the brandy eagerly. His eyes implored her before he had strength enough to say: "They won't have noth- ing. • Will you — give me — enough mon- ey to pay the life insurance? It's due tomorrow. I'll give you 1303." Mrs. Crowe was sitting bolt upright, as one would expect of Mrs. Crowe, a hand spread on either knee. She lifted these hands to pull her hafc down over her eyes, and she frowned. Then she push- ed baok her hat, revealing a face like a blank wall. " 'Gustus Plaintiff," said she, "I kep' company with your father 'fore I married Crowe. He was a fool jes' like you. But he was olever. I liked him better 'n he liked me. I'll give you $200 for 1303. So you kin set your mind to rest 'bout the insurance. What ye goin to die fur?" "My neok's broke. God bless you I" < murmured Gus, somewhat irrelevant- ly, but with deep feelings. "No, 'taint. Couldn't swallow so sliok's you did if your neck was broke. You ain't goin to die. That's another mistake of yours. Young woman, lend me your handkerohief. My old dog died this morniu, an I feel sorter upset." With thfl most entire deliberation Mrs. Crowe wiped two tears away and returned the handkerchief, nor did the dootor and nurse ever witness any other token of emotion, though she attended Gus with great devotion during his ill- ness. It was tedious, and for awhile oritical, but he recovered eventually. He grew to feel a queer kind of attach- ment for Mrs. Crowe. Lizzie made a olean breast of secret help received from the woman of wood. "And she grew kinder and kinder, Gus. She brought every one of those things you sold baok, Mrs. Crowe was sitting bolt upright. saying she only bought them because ihe knew you'd sell them to somebody else. And I think, Gus, Ido think the poor soul was fond of your father, and be didn't treat her just right. " They have owed muoh more since — among other things the furnishing of the parlor. It is even whispered that Mrs. Crowe intends leaving her savings to the Plaintiff boys. One thing she cer- tainly will not leave them— town lo* 1303. They, too, are aware of this, b»- : cause on a certain evening, when, aa.it often happens now, they were all to- gether, Gus took his courage m both hands and asked, "Mother Crowe, what have you done with 1303?" The family interest had for so long olustered tenderly about that garden of plantain and cockle burs that they all felt a kind of a shook when she replied: "Oh, I bundled the deed right back to them agents I 'Twan't wuth the taxes.
