You are taik lug with a man who has talked to Na¬ poleon the Great.” “Sir,” 1 said, "that is history. May I hear more?” The old admiral then told me that he was once returning with the fleet—1 think from the West Indies, but of that I am not sure—aud touched at St. Helena. The admiral said, "1 aril going up to Longwood to pay my respects to Napo¬ leon. and the senior midshipman comes yvlth me.” "I was the senior midshipman,” said the old gentleman, “and so I went. We waited for Napoleon in au outer room, and you must imagine how eagerly 1 expected his entrance. The door was thrown open at last, ami in he came. He was short and fat and nothing very attractive but for his eye. My word, sir, I have never seen anything like It.

"There are doubtless a great many things which Mr. Jones knows and we do not know, but there are also a few things which we know and he does not.” Then followed a pause, during which each man held his breath, for the dean was known to carry on his lips a dag¬ ger which sometimes found Its unerr¬ ing way to the hearts of men and things, but after due pause he contin¬ ued gently: “And chief among them is how glad we always are to see him.”—Youth’s The Echo at Work.

A particularly dreadful murder, the details of which are set forth in all the newspapers, often has the effect of inducing similar crimes. One of the reasons, and probably the ritief reason, why public executions were abolished in England, was that Instead of acting as a deterrent the execution had the contrary effect of Inciting to murder. Iu 1885 a woman of Geneva, named Lombard), killed her four children. She admitted that she had been rend¬ ing of a woman who killed her hua lmnd, and the very circumstantial ac¬ count had made her wish to imitate the crime, but ns her husband whs dead she killed the children. This is only one Instance out of hundreds wLdch have coiue to our notice. The infectious Jin!ere of self mttrder receives n striking testimony in the following incident: Ur.
