AN UNLUCKY WEAPON.
When Napoleon I. entered Cai
ro, on 22nd of July, 1798, ha was
presented with three swords of h»n
or, richly inlaid with precious
stones. He brought them back to
Europe, and in 1802 he gave one
to Marshal Ney and another to
Murat, keeping the third for him
self.
Ney received his at an imperial
reception; the sword passed from
ene to another of those present,
among whom was a young subal
tern of the Auvergne Regiment.
When Napolean escaped from
Elba Ney left the King and took
bides with his former chief. After
the allies entered Paris the place
became too hot for him and he
made preparations to get out of
the country with a pass procured
for him under a false name, but
his wife and a frisnd persuaded
him that there was really no dan
ger, and he decided to stay in
France.
Then came the order for his ar
rest; he fled to a castle in the pos
session of some friends and suc
ceeded in reaching it without his
whereabouts becoming known.Btit
he was destined to be betrayed by
th‘‘ sword of honor given to him
13 years previously.
Hewasoneday looking at the
paintings in one of the more pub
lic rooms at the castle, which he
usually avoided and feeling tired
he threw himself on a couch, first
taking off his Oriental sword,which
he always wore out of affection for
the Emperor.
Suddenly he heard voices. ll*
»pr* jup and hurriedly left the
room, forgetting his sword. A
minute later a party of ladies and
gentlemen entered the one
ot . them being the young subaltern
"J the Auvergne Regiment, now a
Colonel.
He at once recognised the sword
*nd in spite of all the owner of the
crn'l d., hi called in
s ’ ll ' gm 1r nu an 1 pro
deeded to make a search for Mar-
•id Ney Finding that tie was
discovered. Ney gave himself up
quietly. On o £ December,
the Marshal was shot,scarce-
. v L- 1 o months after the owner of
11 second sword—Murat—had
* his fate in the same way.

AN IMPRESSIVE TEMPERANCE LEC-
TURE.
The fol’owing true story is relat
ed by one of the participants in
the remarkable insident:
Not long since in a certain New
England city, four commercial
Travelers met for the first time, at
the table. With that genial bon
homie peculiar to the caff, they
soon engaged in conversation. In a
few moments one of them said :
“Gentlemen suppose we begin,
being all stanjers, with the gentle
man opposite me. to introduce our
selves and eur firm's business.”
This was unanimously agreed
to.
Said No. 1: “I am . and
I repraanut <b* honf* of X. Y, Z ,•

to pursue 'he enbj ct turthsr and
that it had been well nsver to

Af'er much urging to ••mpleto •

THE WORWORS OF SOCIAL PRINNIXa

These are the women who figure 1
in our police reports; maddened i
by (hi>misery and degradation of
their own lost wmnanh >od, they
have sought a brief forgetfulness i
in intoxication. For such, there
is nothing left but God 'b pity. A

one that no sober man ->r woman t
can look upon without repugnance

pitiable and revolting a spect'-cle. !
