The "New Year's" edition of the
Oregonian was a magniucient journalistic
greeting to the intelligent public of the
Northwest. This number comprised
twenty-four pages of well-written matter
and fine engravings. Of the twenty-four,
twenty pages were devoted to the news
of the dav. the development of the
Pacific Northwest, and a carefully com- j
piled chronological table of local,
domestic and foreign events, for the year

wiggle every finger at them, as the
supreme court has just decided a case in
point, that 'A federal court ha no
authority or power to pass upon the
questions of a "state's collection of taxes
or revenue." Pennoyer was right. Ex.

Wad-el-Ward, who appeared in Oregon
in a course of lectures some "time since,
has proven a fraud. Ward claimed that
he met Captain Burton, the celebrated
traveler, at Mecca, on the occasion of
his famous visit to that place there
about thirty years ago. Mecca as is well
known, is the holy city of the Mahome-
dans, and it ia here that the tomb of
Mahomet is located. Mahomet's coffin.
so the story ran, was attracted to the
ceiling of a lofty tomb, as if endeavor
ing to find an outlet to seek its wa) to
heaven . Here many thousands of pious
Mussel men from all the Mahomed ian
world made annual pilgrimages. But
woe to the impious infidel who under
took the sacred journey and attempted,
to desecrate the sacred sepulchre with
his unholy eyes. Burton, by assuming
the dress and pious demeanor of a Ma-
homedan, successfully made the danger
ous trip and saw the tomb of Mahomet?
and he afterwards described the perils of
bis undertaking and the objects aeen in
a book, which attracted wide attention
at the time of its publication. Wad-el-
Ward having made the statement that
be met Burton there, a personal friend of
that gentleman wrote to him, now Brit
ish consul at Triesto, Austria, and re
ceived the answer that he never saw nor
heard of Wad-el-Ward, whom he judges
to be a Syrian, "on the make.'

the excellent musical programme with
which the Royal & Lansing company
greeted their large audience
The flret on the programme was
Moonlight on the Lake by the Swis -

It is a custom in studying and at
tempting to describe a great character
In history, a character that has to do
witn public aliairs of a nation, also to
xplain the abstract circumstances
hich surrounded that individual, and
nsider the times in which he lived
nd the cast of the people with whom
e had to do. There is a single excep-
ion to this rule in modern history: and
IV hat ingle exception is the character we
Iwi,h to consider. Npoleon Bouapn
arte.
U The reason of this exception may
not
'
(immediately be seen, but by a steady
look we see that instead of Europe and
ita internal affairs making a place for a
man like Napoleon and placing him in
it, this strange and incommensurable
foreigner made his way to France,
wrought out by his own hands and by
his own efforts a civilization of his own,
which was destined to affect Europe and
all ita institutions. Circumstances make
the man. So in the case of Washington
and Lincoln. Not so with Napoleon.
On the other hand, he created circum
stances, and made tbem profitable. He
moulded his servants and officers to
j ani made them acceptable. So original
in mind and feeling, no wonder he was
so strange and so Ill-adapted to the
world about him. It is clear before
hand that the surrounding ideas w hich
have such a firm grasp on others would
have en him no grasp at all. It is need
less to detail his work. Every one
knows how he rose; how by his own
exertions he raised himself to the high
est summit of human glory, and made
France the leader of the world in sc i
ence, civilization and commerce.
How, incited by fear and jealousy, the
surrounding nations fell upon France,
like a pack of cur at the heels of a
mastiff, and beat him to the ground.
How he fell, and crashed down every
thing connected with him in his fill.
The institutions of various kinds which
he had helped build died with him.
The trades, professions and systems of
commerce which he had encouraged were
for a while paralyzed. What wns the
meaning of all this? Was it for the
Innelit of the race that all these pros-jHt-ts
were blighted f

the greatest number of people.
If we take this view of the case, then
Napoleon was an example; and it seems
even so, fir w hen any one even speaks of
Nspolen and his ways it is conveyed
with the idea if his ambition, his virtue,
used to such au extreme until it became
hisjrice. Napoleon's ambition became

Napoleon' was conscious of his own
ability as well as of the ability of those
around him.
He was keen, farsccinj;. intense anil
possessed of an unlimited amount of j
acumen; knew just how to manage
people: could read characters as he
weuld an open book. He use to watch '
the effect of everything. As an example '
of this, he was in the habit of ilying into '
a passion of madness, either real or as- '
sumed, and would fairly rave, break '
china, thrown his coat into the tire; all !
these outward appearances of uncontrol-1
Uble anger while all the time, even j
when these fits were genuine and pain
ful, he would watch their effect on those
who hapened to be present.
Thus by the c onstant use of all his
faculties, by cunning, shrewdness and
untiring energy he accomplished his
first dreams of glory, namely, working
himself to the head of the French
people, and with them founding the
strongest government. There is a curi
ous tendency in the mind of man in re
gard to his life pursuit.
It is a difTU iilt titsk to choose a busi
ness and choose rightly; but after one
has laltored for a length of time nt a
particular calling then that calling aud
no other mut be his end if he succeeds.
If he stops for a rest-he longs to be at
work he must pursue his accustomed
path.

of him, I -ar. before pre-
... ., ., , !
a-ith all thec scenes of glory j
f and France, and then note i
occupied w
for himself and France, and then note j
him as he surveys himself! At the
Tuleries he ces himself surrounded bv !
all the people of the Ctvsars. His wild
est dreams of power are realized and he
is yet a young man at the hiht of his I
vigor. Having nothing else to do he !
reflects. He is so high, but what will!
there be left of him when he is dead,
"when the air closes in and fills the
space before occupied by his body?" A
man's life is like a whirl-wind, coming
from nobody knows where, nobody
knows how ; if a large one it raises more
dust and when it dies away there is
merely more dust to be trampled on by
succeeding generations. 8o it would be
better for him, would raise more dust,
would leave how of more work done
if he chould found a dynaty of kings.
But how insignificant dKs an ordinary
kingdom appear to him! lie wants the
world ; to be king of the "world is no
great uudertading f r the emperor Na
poleon than to be emperor of the French
is an undertaking in this Italiin foreign
er. But h is now overstepping the
bounds of common ense.
It is hardly showing regard to his
conquest' to aj his rcnon turned jet
it is often hinted that it did. He got to
believing in himself to Midi an extent
that he thought to cojwj with 'lie natural
element and it was pUiu that he mut
Im; stopped. Ac-i-ordiugly on June 18,
181., by a very extr?corlinnry unusual
combination of c irt uiu-tnnces, Napoleon
was badly Uatcn. This happened on
the field of Waterloo. If Naoleon had
won that battle th? whole history of the
19th ctntury woul t have been a dif
ferent compilation of laws and French
ivilint ion would have been fifty yeara (
ahead of what it is at present. '
But it was imputable for Napoleon
to win that battle, fale was against him
and when fate iutci feres it is well
enough for anjlnxly to pause
l.-for he commences. As it
was, there were, strant- t say, ten
even thauces in that battle ami c hance,
curious enough, fovored the opposite to
NtMlcon each time, if one of the ten
had turned for Napoleon, in all proba
bility he would have won ; if an equal
share, then, as I said before?, this would
have been a diHercnt world. Can we say
then that it was on the account of Wel
lington or IIliK her that Nnpoleon- lostf
Net. God was the only being who
could cojm? Mwc-e..fully with this demi
god. It wh hih time for thU vast
man to fall. His exec-sive weight in
the sealei ?) of human de-tiny disturbed
the balbiitce. Too mucti vitality in a
single bend the world mounting toone
man's brain -would be mortal to civilizs
ition if they endured,
j The moment hal arrived for the in
! corruptible .!j;c ii!f equity to reflect,
j NaMieu;i was tic imtint'fd to the shadow
and bis fall was chc i'lfd. 'Waterloo
was iut a battle, but a Iran-formation of
the nivct-e." Ibit even as b f(;ll H1I j
saw the enoimoti left unfilled in j
goernment:d it Hairs. Dethroned Kings, I
with their left f.et forward, timidly'
placed themselves in this gap. !
' I he people by hi fall saw liberty iu
the future, but tranc to say they felt
equally attached to this future libetty
and to the na-t Nspolcoii.
Defeat had made the conquered man '
greater. Nnpolen fdten ccetiied better;
than Napoleon standing on his feet. I
Tbo-e whit hail triumphed were
alarmed. His folded arms w hile on the j
ile cif St. Hele na became the; anxiety of i
thrones smd the nightmare of king. . j
This phantom of Hie real Napoleon
caused the old woild to tremble and
kings dared nothing w ith the isle of St.
lit lei. a on the hoiion. There are two
blots on the tannic! charac ter of the
govern men t of Creat Britain; lKth re
