Thu i*iice of two Potatoes.
The following excellent and well fold story
we copy from the Xe\v*k ork Evening Post:
The following anecdote of the first Napo
leon—this neoessily of discriminating be
twccn the two Nnpoleons is a little incon
v* iiicnt—is related in a letter from a corres
pondent, who was a considerable time in the
French millitarv service, and who vouchee
for its authenticity. We might say of it, •
“N- non e vtroe ben trovato.”
‘•The evening before the battle of Ului,
when Xr.poleoii the First, in company with
Marshal Uertheir, was walking incognito
throngh the camp and listenirg to the talk
of 1. -*■; ‘tiers, he saw in a group not far oil
a grenadier of the guard, who was roasting
sonic potatoes in the ashes.
“T should like a roast pofatoe above ah
t’i’ j. “’ and 1 the empv ror to the marsh: 1 :
nrn?rof:them to sell one.” In u! edi
e ice t i the o der, Fi l thier advanced to the
group and asked to whom the potatoes be
longed. A grenadier stepped forward and
f.d 1. • They are mine.'’
“Will von sell me one?”
I have only five, and thal’shardly enough .
f >r n y supper.’
I will give y u two Napoleons if yo;
will : .11 me on
“I han't want your jroM; I shall he killed
p rluij)-, to-morrow, and I don’t want th
enemy to find me with an empty stoma and
B. rtliier rep etc 1 tin* s ddii r’s answer
th • -.nperor, who was st.-m Mag u little hi th,
b ‘*ri tm-d. ,
• i t s s eif I shall be luckier than you.’
8:i: 1 :1, latter and going up close to tie
g;v.! her, he asked him if he would sell hit
a p >t.do.
“l\r by a long shot,” answered thegrem -
dl r ; “I haven't enough for myself.”
“But you may set your own price. Come
- ; am hungry, an 1 haven't eaten to-day.’
T tell you I haven’t enough for myself—
besides all that you think I don't know you
in spite of your disguise?”
“Who am I then ?”
“B andi’ The little corporal, as they call him:
am I right ?’’
“Well, since you know me, will you sell
me a potato?’’
“No; but if you would have me come and
dine with you when you get back to Paris,
you may sup with me to-ni^ht,”
“Done!” said Napoleon, “on the word of
a little corporal; on the word of an emperor.”
1 Well and good. Our potatoes ought to
be done by this time; there are the two largest
ones—the rest I'll eat, myself.”
The emperor sat down and ate his potatoes,
and then returned with Berthier to his tent,
merely remarking, “The rogue is a good sol
dier, I'll wager.”
Two mouths afterwards, Napoleon the
Great was in the midst of a brilliant court
at the palace of the Tuillcries, and was just
sitting down to dine, when word was brought
liiu. ti.at a grenadier was without trying to
force the guard at the door, saying he had
been invited by the emperor. “Let him
come in,” said his majesty. The soldier en
tered, presented arms, and said to the em
peror :
“Do you remember once having supped
with me uO’ my roasted potatoes?”
“Oh, is that you ? Yes, yes. I remember,”
said the emperor: “and so you have come
to dine with me, have you? ltustan, lay
another cover on your table for this brave
fells,w. Again the grenadier presented
arms, and said:—
“A grenadier of the guard does not eat
with lackeys, lour majesty told me I
should dine with you—that was the bargain,
and trusting to your word I have come
hither.”
“True, true,” said the emperor, “lay a
cover here near me : lay aside your arms,
ami, and draw up to the table.”
Dinner over, the grenadier went, at his
usual pace, tool; up his carbine, and turning
to the emperor, presented arms and said:
“A mere private ought not to dine at the \
table of the emperor.”
“Ah! 1 understand you,” said Napoleon.
1 1 name you chevalier of the legion o!
honor, and iieutenaut in my company o!
guards.”
“Thank you hear thy, vive 7 etnpeveur !’
answered the soldier, ami withdrew.”
Tlie louuti-yniau'g * isit to tlie
- Am tor Library.
The Astor Library is an institution ol j
which any city or country might well be
proud. Its vast size, its immense collection i
of volumes; tKo imposing appearance, inter
nally and externally, of the edifice itself: tin i
stillness that prevails within, illustrated only
by the turning of leaves, or the subdue*
voice ot a visitor explaining what he desire-.
all these will strike the visitor most impres
sively.
Stepping into a restaurant recently, to take
‘a halt dozen roasted in the shell.’ we over
lit iid a dialogue touching the Astor Library,
which made us laugh half ot the night, and
yet we doubt whether the reader will appre
ciate it; and yet we are sure he would it lit*
had heard it as we did.
One of the speakers was from the country
—a dry good merchant; the other a metro
plitan, who first spoke:
‘Been about much since you’ve been in
town?’
‘Yes, considerable.’
‘Where you been ?’
‘Well. I went to hear Burton— funny dog,
he is!—went to the opera—didn’t under
stand it —went to the Bowery—saw three
men and one woman killed in five minutes,
and saw ’em all, every one of’em agin in
the next piece, alive and kicking.’
‘You must be fond of reading. Been in ]
to any of our libraries—the Society, Mer- I
cantile, or the Astor?’
‘Yes, all on ‘em; but the Astor took me j
down. First place, it's a tremendous struc- ,
ter.’
It is: it is one of the most chastest and ;
beautiful buildings in our whole city.’
‘Yes—that’s so. And what a lot of books!
Gosh!’
‘Did you examine any of ’em ?’
‘No—not much. Fact is, I was kind of
’frai.l—everything was so still and solemn. .
Jest afore I come away, ayoung man—smart i
as a steel trap—come up to me and asked,
‘lvin I help you to any book which you
wish to consultate ?’
‘He had a book in his hand at the time, j
with a boy a-hold of the other eend of it—
full ofpicters. It was wrote by a man named
Hu,'.holt, Humbug, or some such French
r *’ • I was dnmfounded, I didn't know
“W ba [ did want; but finally said,
• t the Life of General Tom Thumb? a
ei : oetle book, wrote by a man which his
was Sherman, who was Barnum’s j
inn when he went all over Ew-rop!’ !
iie spread out his bier honk fust, and then
lookc ~t ,i. Very tjMi/.i-.cal, and says he,
No sir we have not got that book, but
wo bavt {nost everyUiiog else.’
‘I told him I didn’t want nothi n else at
that time, and so I come away.
‘What it was that made’em sniker. I don’t j
know; but one man, with a big horn button i
screwed into his eye, dropped it by a string
tied to his trowsis, and laughed; and an old
bald-headed man, he grinned ; and a little
dandy, who was sucking the end of a yaller
stick with ya’ler gloves, ho squeaked out a •
laugh ; and all ’cause I asked for a little book
in a big library.
‘But I didn’t care—what did I care?’
[From Blackwood's Magazine.}
A London Dog-Stealing Story.
A celebrated painter of animals in London
had painted the portrait of a splendid New
foundland dog, but he strayed or was stolen
as he was returning from his last sitting. Ili? ]
owner was inconsolable; but knowing the
distinguished artist’s large and intimate ac
quaintance with person- 1 who confidently eon
c an tlicmseh es with other people’-* dogs, re
j>; i: .] to liini lor advice and authorized him
to offer In pounds reward for the recovery
of the missing favorite. The artist soon put ‘
himselfin communication with one ol'hjs ‘dog
fancier?,’ who asked him what kind of a dog
i: was? ‘Why,’says he, ‘look here ; that is j
hispid lire. Should you know him again?’
The fellow gazed at the vi\ idly faithful re
presentation for a minute or two intently, and
hen said: “I thinks I'se got him now; I
shall know him if I see him. But what's the
reward ?’
‘Aery ‘ansome indeed, and worth a little
1 n’.l'le; but such a prime hanimal as that
* * will cost a deal of trouble to get Hold on.
s teli uncommon care L takelton ‘embv them
as has got cm. Ilowso’er I'll do niv best;
md again he glued his eyes on the pictured
dog, and then withdrew.
A month elapsed without tidings of the
, ißsing ten-pounder, but at length, in the
and -k of the evening, the artist was suinmon
mto his pamting room and there found his
1 rUideniiai agent. ‘Well’ Bill.’ quoth the
’ mer. ‘any news about the dog? I have
i given it up.’
‘Oh. no, don’t sir.’ was the reply, with a
;\\ mk. Tdo really believe I’ve got him at
‘ast. But is the tip all safe still, and no mis
’ take?’
‘Ay—have it any way you like.’
‘lt ain’t a check ?’ asked his astutecompan
; ion.
‘No—a ten pound note, two lives, or sov
! ereigns. ’
i ‘Well, sir, where that word’s said by a
gent, there's an end of everything; so the
dog will he here in half an hour’s time, and a
i pretty business I have had to find him.’
Half an hour’s lapse saw this little stroke
of business complete, and the dog and cash
j exchanged.
‘Well, now. my man.’said the artist, ‘its all
over; and though I said I would’nt ask you
any question, I can t help it, merely out of
curiosity. 1 give you my honor that I have
j uo other motive; and will take no steps at all
in consequence of what you may tell me.—
Did 1 ever deceive you?’
‘No, sir, you never did.’
‘Well, do you know who stole him?’
•Quite sure you won’t do nothing if I tell
you ?’
‘Honor, honor!’
•Well. sir. I was the chap as prigged him.’
‘You ?’ echoed the great artist, with ex
panded eyes, uplifted hands, and a great start.
•Yes. me. sir. I took’d the dog, and no mis
take,’
A\ hew! Well, hut now I’m curious still
to know why v on ehose to he so loner out of
your money —your ten pounds. Why not
have brought, him back i:i a few days, and
goi your £lO at once?’
‘Cos, sir, you see, I sold unto another par
ty for seven pounds, who took such a liking
to the creature that I had’nt the heart to steal
un from him till he’d had a week or two's
comfort out on him ; hut as soon as he had,
T know (1 how to prig the dog. I, as could do
it i'.ice, 1 could do it twice: and now you’ve
got what you want; but it sartinly sounds
curious, don't it ?’
A\ hy. you consummate scamp,’ quoth the
artist. almost splitting with laughter, ‘you've
got seventeen pounds out of that dog.’
Yes. sir, that’s the figure, exact,’ replied
tin stolid Man of Dogs.
•Well, but, you impudent vagabond, if you
, could prig a dog. as you sav, once, and twice,
i you may thrice.’
•Well. sir. so I may; but this here dog will
: be looked after unkitnmin close now, and I
shan’t run no risk. Besides, ‘honor among
thieves,’ yer know. And with a wise look
the fdlow departed.
A Sharpe's Rifle Sermon.
’ The Albany Statesman has the following
j letr.ir from the “Rev. Dr. Sereecher to his
friend and brother, “Horace Steelev,” dated
at the “Parsonttge of Church of Holy Rifles:”
My Dear Brother : I preached last Sunday,
with great acceptance, from the text “Go ye
Tito all the world and preach tin* gospel to
every creature.” The house was full, and I
had a good time. Much additional interest
was thrown around the services from the fact
that a large company ol’freedom-shriekers. on
their way to Kansas, were present. I com
batted the old-fashioned notion, and 1 think,
successfully, that the religion of the New
Testament was to bring peace on earth and
goo 1-will to men. I showed the fallacy of
all those teachings of the Apostles which
speak of rendering unto Caesar’s —of being
stibj -et to the higher powers, because they
were ordained of God, Ac., Ac.
I admitted that there was a time when
these injunctions were imperative and bind-
I ing: but I proved, and, I think, clearly, that
1 theology, like all other sciences, is progressive,
and that steam-engines and Sharpe’s rifles
are now the true Evangels. In conformity
with this position I assumed that the word
translated “preach” should be rendered ‘slioot,’
so that the text, as in my version, would
i read : “Go ye into all the world and shoot
the gospel (from Sharpe’s rifles') at every
j creature.” The more I reflect upon the sub
| jeet the more I am persuaded that this is the
true mode of gospel propagandism.
With Sharpe’s rifles, and the Bible for wad
j ding. Scripture truth can be sent directly
horn * to the hearts of the people, and be in
( wanliv digested by them.
B other Kill’em (glorious name, how I love
it!) has sent one of these missionaries to Kan
sas ; nd many others among the meek and
lowlv disciples are following his example.
| The thing takes wonderfully, and it is a eapi
’ tai lot for the Sereecher family. My dear
brother, it would have done your heart good
to have witnessed those Kansasians listening ;
tto the truth as it is in Sereecher. With many
lof them you are acquainted. They liavepa?-
| sed ihrougdi all the phases of Fourierism. So
-1 eialistn, and Free-Loveism, up to the sublime
heights of Rifleism.
i With their long hair, slouched hats and i
hlou .es, thej T were the true-idcals of the Tri
; bune office. But it is not alone for propaga- *
j ting the Gospel in Kansas that my people are j
becoming distinguished. I notice that one ’
member of my church has bet one thousand
dollars that he will find and kill the man who ‘
threw vitriol on his child’s dress a few days ‘
since. Thus the work goes on. Let us per
severe, and the time will soon come when ri- i
, ties and bowie-knives will supercede the ne- !
ccssiiy for Bible truth and Gospel preaching.
Fraternally yours,
W. H. ScREECHF.R.

When these declarations were made, at the date*
introduction, they seemed incredible to lusty,
; the most candid minds, because ail the reeti,-
: science had been taxed in vain to sabdne ague an
■ ious diseases ; and what was still worse for ague s
ers, all their remedies or treatment, whethernieral
empirical, have been limited to the use of pen ccs
destructive drugs, such as Arsenic, Quinine Sc
Salicine, Ac. The tffects of these are souietituet 11
