THE JAGGED BOCK THAT WA8 NAPOLEON’S LIVING TOMB. His Conqueror, Wellington, Origi¬ nated the Idea of Perpetual Ban¬ ishment—The Life and Death of tiie Distinguished Captive. ¥ B. MACKNIGHT, for four years United States Consul at the island of St. Helena, historical gives the following new facts gleaned upon the spot and describes the scenes of Napoleon’s exile: ' ti First, I can give a historical fact, which I think has not yet been pub¬ lished, that throws some light upon the selection of this spot by Great Britain on which to imprison the great general. After he had surrendered himself to the courtesy of that Govern¬ ment, there was naturally an excit¬ ing disenssison in regard to the dispo¬ sition to be made of him, Wellington, who was given the credit of Waterloo, and whose name was lauded to the skies by all the Conservatives of Europe, was naturally consulted. The Duke had several accounts to set¬ tle with Napoleon. Early in the oen turv he had been recalled from a most desirable billet in India to fight with the Spaniards against Bonaparte in the Peninsula, and his resentment against his now prostrate foe was of that bitter kind which is engendered in some minds (not the greatest or best) by the genius and success of a rival or oppo¬ nent. Returning from India in 1806, Wellington’s ship touched at St. Helena, as nearly all ships from thq East did in those days, and the sol¬ dier was struck with the ntter bar¬ renness and isolation of the place. When first seen from an approaching vessel the island looks like a solitary, jagged rock, intensely forbidden. Wellington was getting into the ship’s gig after taking leave of the civil and military authorities of the island, when he said to the Governor: “If I had an enemy whom I wished to bnry alive I’d send him to this isl¬ and.” The overthrow of Napoleon gave him the enemy and the wish, and he did not forgot the place. The proceedings of the council which condemned Napoleon to a living tomb were secret, but there is no doubt that Wellington was the origi , nator of the thought which developed into that savage banishment. Sentence was no sooner pro¬ nounced than arrangements were made for execution. „ The huge three decker warship Northumberland was .^elected to convey the august prisoner to his island jail. His treasures were taken from him, only a few of his friends were permitted to follow him into exile, and in the middle of sum¬ mer the big ship set sail for the tropics, escorted by two armed cor¬ vettes. The visitor to St. Helena in these times reaoh the island in sixteen ( can days from Southampton, the distance being 5000 miles, bnt the Northum¬ berland was seventy days en route. Napoleon reached the island in Oc¬ tober and was not allowed to land un¬ til the third day after his arrival, be¬ cause the orders to prepare for him had jnst been received, and there was no place ready. The island was then one of the most flourishing ports of oall in the Atlantic Ocean, and was governed by the East India Oompany. Many rich and cultivated families con¬ nected with the civil and military de¬ partments dwelt on the island and had elegant homes in the country. St Helena is only a rook ten miles by six in extent, and oontains little more than 30,000 acres of superficial area. The Governor oecupied a spacious mansion in the oountry, colled Plan¬ tation House. The grounds about this house are superb fine even old now, English re¬ minding one of a country home. After dusk on the evening of the third day after the Northnmberland’s arrival Napoleon was taken ashore. Troops were massed st the lending, and a carriage was in waiting to take the prisoner into Jamestown, Napoleon was lodged the first night with a private family in a plain, two story stone house, the walls of which are still standing, adjoining the dis park. October is one of the most a gree - able of the year in Jamestown, as the air is then intensely dose and humid. Napoleon was greatly distressed by the gloomy aspect and sultriness of tbe place, and his first night ashore was one of intense disoomforl Sir George Ooekburn, the admiral in whose charge he was placed by tbe Allies, was disposed to treat him as wall as circumstances would permit. Mil assured him that be wonid soon be lodged in the country, where his sorroudings would not be to for bid ding. The prisoner had thoroughly island, acquainted himself with the and was therefore sorely disappointed that Plantation House was not sug¬ gested by his captors as his prison home. • The Admiral took his prisoner next day for # horseback drive to Long¬ wood Plain, and made a partial of tour the of the more attractive portion* Jamestown Wand. At the heed of the gorge Napoleon saw the pretty little villa called The Brian, nestled among flowers and shrubbery, and expressed Loug a wish to stay there while tbe wood barn bring eoaafrnet* * Sir George made the oents with Mr. Bel % rx of tbe garrison, who tew*, and the two of Napoleon's historic The spot te very little In 1815, except that a lew dteraticss bsrs bjes asds is house, and the palms and other trees are larger. The pavilion Count that Las was Casas oo cnpied the by letters Napoleon, stands just they and son as left it, and the visttor realizes what close quarters it most have been for such guests. A few days after his settlement at The Briars Napoleon fell in with Hr. Balcomb’a daughter, Betsy, French a sprightly well miss of fifteen, who spoke and treated the fallen monarch with true girlish complacency. At first she made fun of him, saying she did not see how so small a man could have made so great a name. In an acoount she wrote of Napoleon’s stay at The Briars she tells how, one day, she grabbed a small dress sword that he wore and drove him into a oorner at its point. Betsy Baloomb made an unhappy marriage, and died in Eng¬ land when still quite young. To her Napoleon owed the only ray of sun¬ shine or diversion which came into those years of miserable banishment. In December the order came for the prisonerjto be transferred to Longwood and the move was made without th6 least regard to Napoleon’s with comfort. rats The old barn was overrun and mice, and workmen were still saw¬ ing and hammering, while no attempt had been made to remove the litter that encumbered the place. Odds and ends pf furniture had been got together, to make the dismal structure habita¬ ble, after a fashion, and in this re¬ markable dwelling Napoleon lived from December, 1815, to May, 1821, and in which he breathed his last on the fifth day of the month last-named. It is to-day praotioally as it was when Napoleon occupied it. Such al¬ terations as have been made were ne¬ cessitated by the faot that after his demise it reverted to its former use, and became a storehouse for grain and vegetables and a shelter for oattle and hogs. When the property was ceded to the French Qoverament early in Qneen Victoria’s reign a custodian was sent out, proper fenoes were built around it, and it has sinoe been kept in good order. The site of the tomb was inoluded in the cession. In the Napleonic era, from 1858 to 1870, mnch attention was given to the prop¬ erty, and high prioed offloers Franoe were sent to the island from to watoh over it. But in recent years it has been in the care of a sergeant on small pay, whose stewardship is sub¬ ject to report and inspection by offi¬ cers of the French navy who touch at the island. He really keeps the place in good order, and he and his family dwell in the 820,000 house called Longwood New House, which the English Government jobbers were building while Napoleon was dying. The new house was intended to pro¬ vide the prisoner with quite a eom fprtablo dwelling, bat he told his cap tors when they were laying the foun¬ dations that he would never live to oc¬ cupy it. The bouse was begun in 1819, and Was not completed when Napoleon died. The island funeral was conducted with all the pomp that the Governor and the jnilitaiy could invent, and great oare was taken to have the grave deep and strong. The body was plaoed in a fine casket of wood, which was hermetically sealed in a leaden case, and these .were enolosed in a strong teak box. After the coffin thus completed was lowered into the grave several large slabs of limestone were fitted into sockets which had been dng in the sides of the excavation and securely bolted together. Upon these wei e plaoed other stones, and the top¬ filling was of loose earth. It took the Prince deJoinville’s men all night to dig up the ooffin when he oame to remove it to Franoe in 1840. Some of the friends who were at Na¬ poleon’s death bed were his present on the occasion, and also favorite valet, Marohand, and when the oasket was opened all were astounded to find that the features were soaroely altered, and that the great General, after twenty years in the tomb, looked as he had in life. There ii now only a cement slab, without inscription, surrounded by an iron railing, to mark the empty sepal cure. The weeping willow that for¬ merly grew beside the grave has died ont entirely and disappeared, bat the spot t is more beautiful, if possible, than ever it was. Curious Effects ef Odor*.

For something new in the way of a fly-trap look in the window of the drag store at the corner of Tremont and Eliot streets, Boston. There, at almost any hour of the day and night, from one to four rodent quadrupeds can be seen prancing over bottles of tooth powder and syrup of squill and tincture ol turpentine, and Bweet spir¬ its of rhubarb'and the other useful ar¬ ticles usually displayed in such places in a wild attempt to capture the mnsoa domestica (house fly). fly-fishing. The mice are simply out window A card has been plaoed in the in self-defence, which reads “Fly Trap, Not For Sale.” This was done after the doorstep had been worn half way through by a line of people com¬ ing in to inform the clerks that the window was full of mioe. - The mice have been in the window for three years, says one of the clerks who has seen that length of servioe for the druggist, and he doesn’t know how much longer. In the winter they live by gnawing off the labels in the store that are glued on with starchy paste. The mioe by this time have become quite tame, but they never leave the window except when the store is closed. They have proved themselves to be real conveniences. When the store gets unpleasantly fall of flies the clerks drive them into the window, and then the mioe have lnnoheon.
