NAPOLEON'S LAST WORDS. The Dying Thought of the Man Whom Europe Feared. On his deathbed Napoleon expressed bis oonviction that England would end like the proud republic of Venice. With perfeot composure be gave his last directions: "I desire that you will take my heart, put it in spirits of wine and carry it to Parma to my dear Marie Louise. You will tell her that 1 never ceased to love her and relate to her ev ery particular respecting my death up on this miserable and dreary rock. You will tell my mother and family that the great Napoleon expired in the most de plorable state, deprived of everything, abandoned to himself and to hi9 glory, and that he bequeathed with his dying breath to all the reigning families of Europe the horror and opprobrium of his death." The second codicil of his will con tained the direction, which was after ward complied with, "It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst or tbe rencn people, whom I love so well." On the 5th of May, 1821, he who had for years kept all Europe in a state of feverish excitement termated his earthly career. After lying in state two days the body was deposited in a ceffin composed first of tin lined with white satin, which, having been soldered, was inclos ed in another of mahogany, a third of lead, and the whole in a fourth of ma hogany secured with iron screws. After the ceremony an enormous stone was lowered over the body, resting on a stone wall so as to escape the coffin. On the 12th of May Louis Philippe commanded that the ashes of Napoleon be conveyed to France. In his commu nication he said : "Henceforth France alone will possess all that remains of Napoleon. His tomb, like his fame, will belong to none but his country." At 11 o'clock, Dec. 15,-the first can non was heard announcing that the re mains of the emperor had reached French ground. Amid the vast assem blage the body was borne by 24 seamen to its last resting place iu the Hotel des Invalides. So closed the eventful career of the great Napoleon, whose memory can on ly perish with tbe records of the world, Detroit Free Press. ATHLETE AND SCULPTOR. A Tale of James E. Kelly's Powers, as Re lated by m Friend. Although he is not large physically, several good stories are told about the prowess of James E. Kelly, the sculp tor whose bronze statues of Molly Pitcher, General Buford at Gettysburg, "The Battle of Harlem Heights" and "Sheridan's Ride" have brought him fame. A friend of his said of him : "He has more courage to the square inch than any man of his size I know, and on several occasions he has beeu called upon to show it unexpectedly. "One day an expressman, six feet high and strong in proportion, invaded his studio. The expressman had over charged the sculptor, and the latter de sired to refer tbe matter to the main office. When the irate expressman en tered, it happened that a tall friend of the artist was visiting the studio. With an oath the expressman said that he naa come ior satisiaction. " I intend tct Kmnch rnn tn miliu eens,' he ejaculated, shaking his fist and advancing toward the sculptor. " 'Do not wait a moment,' answered iieiiy. "The big man sprang at the artist. and at this critical moment the tall form of the latter's friend vanished through the back door. Quick as a flash the sculptor jumped behind the enraged expressman, seized him by the back of the neck, and with all the strength he coma summon pushed the burly fellow to the front door and kicked him into the street. It was all done so quickly luab mo Deiucose intruder nardly knew how it happened. He fell on the side walk, and his face was bruised. He got up and ran away. The sculptor return ed to his work, and after a few min utes his vanishing friend entered tim idly from the rear. "'What have you done with that Goliath? he asked. You know I have heart trouble and cannot stand scenes, and so I went out to keep calm. " 'Oh, there was no scene,' replied the sculptor. 'It was an act in three kicks and a push. ' His heart trouble friend to this day thinks the sculptor is a piece of surcharged dynamite." New York Commercial. Stalking: Human Prey. The Goorkha, with his catlike facil ity for taking cover, aided by his small size and his sleuthhound persistence in following an evasive foe, has always been an annoyance to the stalwart Pa than. On one occasion two Goorkha scouts were told off to drive away two Af ghans who, from a neighboring sum mit, were "sniping" at a passing col umn. The column reached its camp aft er midnight, and when roll was called the two Goorkhas were missing. Their comrades mourned them for a few hours, but at daybreak the two turned up. very tired, very hungry and very thirsty, bnt radiant. "We got them both." they said.

Thought It Was a Turkey. Site Greenslate, tbe veteran joker out at Elmwood, is lying in wait fo the return home of Jurym in Charles Rivett. Tne trouble came about this way: Mrs. Swearingen, his daughter, of this city, sent a ladies hat in small box to Elmwood by Mr. Rivett who got a cracker barrel after he reached Elmwood, and with four bushels of excelsior he packed the hat in the barrel and hired a drayman to take it to Greenslate's and collect 35 cents of Site. The money was duly p iid, and then began the opening of tbe barrel. Dean wore a 2x9 smile as he thought of a fine turkey which was probably stowed away in the barrel. Sile began delving into tbe barrel and pulled out enough excelsior to load a hay-rack before he got tu the bat, which they all knew at once came from Mrs. S. Then Mrs. S. got a roasting that would have made her ears burn for playing t-uch a trick. Sile said he would be dod-gasted if be ever thought he bad a child tbat had no more sense than to pack a ladies hat nto a cracker barrei.
