Napoleon's Idea of Journalist.
Tbe worst recommendation that any
man could have in Napoleon's eyes was
to be a newspaper writer. Shortly after
tbe 18th Brumaire, Table de 1'Arade,
who was always a favorite with the
Emperor, solicited an appointment for
one of bls acquaintances.
“What has be done?” asked Napo­
leon. “He has been a journalist, a
censurer, a giver of advice,- a regent
of sovereigns, a' tutor of nations. Tbe
Blcetre is the fittest place for people
of that stamp.” Suppose ’ Napoleon
lived to-day, with his every thought
anticipated In the newspapers! Some
good newspaper advice might have
aaved him In the Russian campaign
and later at Waterloo.—New York
