NAPOLEON’S END
New revelations about the last days of Napoleon
-‘”%i>ublished in a book written by his second valet,
Etiene ; St. Denis. Historians have been per-
uating the old story that Nap’s last words were:
* * * army * * * -head of the army * * *
feephine.” That sounds a little too theatrical tq
jjitrue, more like what would be said by a stage
pleon. St. Denis, in his personal recollections,
te nothing about these alleged last words. Ac-
iing to his story, Napoleon in his last moments
tfithiefly concerned with getting wine.
SjjXhe valet recorded it this way: “He would ask
Mfl A little wine from time to time, which they
X&stened to give him. He said after drinking a few^
jj+ops, ‘Ah, how good wine is! How good wine is!’ ”
sounds more human. And Napoleon was
jjgjijdishly human. - .
S ijVs death drew near, while rats scurried to and
*dn the rambling corridors: “He would cough so
t d that he could be heard all over the house. The
fWror died without the slightest perceptible con
vulsion and without the least stiffening. He went
out as the light of a lamp goes out-”
* Napoleon, vain to the point of egomania, was
constantly on the watch for anything that he could
interpret as a slight, St Denis wrote.
• ,,“He was absolutely like a child.”
; He knew that he caught cold easily, yet he never
hurried to shelter when caught in the rain while
6Ut walking. In reading, if he liked a book he re
placed it carefully on the library shelves. If the
ook bOrod him* he showed lively displeasure, often
myowing the volume into the fire. In his last days,
tte Wore his clothes until they were shabby, then
fiad the tailor “turn” them. He never used gloves,.
xcept occasionally on horseback.
“The emperor never wore any jewelry except a
vatjch,” runs the valet’s record. Probably this was
lue to fear that jewelry might detract from atten-
iion that he wanted exclusively for his person.”
Napoleon was an abnormal creature. He was a
‘ nius at leadership and organization. But per-
nally he was a type that, few of us would invite to
jj[ again, judging from his valet’s book. So much

, Chelr masters during the War Between the States.
{Phis belated action to substantially express the ap
preciation of the state of South Carolina to these
. good old negroes will meet with the approval of
t , .every right thinking man and woman in the South.
C«‘. It (is far better to thus reward the services ren
dered by faithful servants in those strenuous times

t it is to be hoped that the Georgia Legislature to
onvene next summer will- pass a similar bill. The
-expense .would be comparatively small.
• Some active organization behind a bill of this
Character would insure its passage. A fine oppor-t
ttmity here for the Daughters of the Confederacy to
ao, a splendid piece of work.
