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. f °3 sale cheap. share Tribune J OO / of up to da‘e cr face value *IOO.

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 ,• selling glses B‘.id No. 2 : “M si| j im n, perhips it is n >ch mg- that 1 com* next, for 1 Bepres- ut P . D.
