TIIK .lUlitiLKIL
During tlio lir.st term of his consulship,
when NiikiIi'oii was unlimited master of
Che state1 which yet boro the naiuo of
republic, Josephine lived at hor Castle
aralmaison. where every evening Naiio
Dctni canie l visit her.
One day kIu was dining quite alone at
IMahiinihon. and while the dessert was
being served a man was admitted. He
ahout .10 years old. While jugglers
and magicians have a lively appearance,
this man's features were deeply earnest.
He carried a little table, which he placed
(before Josephine, and covered it with a
worn cloth. After these preparations
Sio drew out three tin cups, with which
he executed all kinds of jugglery. The
ihalU quadrupled themselves under his
Angers and formed all kinds of figures
and grotesque forms, only to disappear
again in a twinkling. Like the musical
composers, the magician also has his
overture before he unfolds the panorama
to the eyes of the audience. After this
Jie touched the magic cups with a stick
of elxiny and said; "Madame, you may
express any wish and it shall lie fulfilled.
I regret very much that you have fin
ashed your meal, else I could liavo
brought you dishes which were wanting
on your table today the red feather of
th'j Mediterranean, sardines of Itoyan or
the. little silver fish caught in the vicinity
in which ntiiilnin wasborno forthogreat
welfare of Franco. Madame, you may
order whatever your heart wishes. Do
you wish a spotless diamond or a grass
fly on the heather, an Oriental ruby or a
(nightingale;'" This man, who placed all
tthe -wealth of nature at Josephine's (lis
roosnl, seemed to wish that she might ile-
cido upon the nightingale, for he put his
inr to the cup and it almost seemed as if
ho heard the inciting tones of the singer
of spring Josephine, whoso desires,
Iiowever, were modest, and who pre
ferred a bunch of Mowers to a diamond,
selected neither a diamond nor a ruby
ator a nightingale, but a rose. Sho had
scarcely spoken the word when the jug
gler upset the cup and showed tho aston
ished lookers on a rose, which bent
gracefully on its stem and filled tho room
with sweet fragrance,
"My gooilness," buid Josephine, "you
Lave cut the prettiest rou in our conser
vatory, the rose which I intended giving
Uonaparte to-morrow, it woidd have
unfolded (luring the night."
"Beg pardon, inadame," replied tho
.juggler politely, "this rose belongs to
mo and I have tho honor to present it to
the wife of the first consul: 1 would
never dare to touch her llowers and 1
Jiuve never been in her conservatory."
Uoephhie sent a servant to investigate
tho truth of this assertion and was told
Uhat the rose which was destined for the
tlrst consul was unhurt Incredulous
us a creole she could not hide her ad
miration, and. in fact, it was iiupossiblo
to vmbarniKs the man who was so enter
staining and wonder creating. He mag
ically drew out of his pocket a swarm of
singing birds which picked up tlio :
crumbs, then he tilled a tumbler with
water and as quickly as he would upset '
at numberless flowers flowed tiou tho '
persons around, and Josephine imagined j
iSiorself in her conservatory.
When the wonders had reached their '
ttdghest degree Josephine reached for tho I
txnupndour, which was hanging on her I
.'armchair, in order to give somo gold i
pieces to tho juggler When the juggler
noticed this he fell dow n at her feet, say- ,
angi "Madame, you van reward me a !
ffiundred times for this little pleasuro that j
I have given you, but not in money a
uiercy, madame, it mercy."
Which?" she asked.
Tho wonderful man begged her then
to eat one of the apples which were on
iter table. Josephine stretched out her
Jinnd for one and placed her knife on it
with the determination of a woman pro- j
3ared for n surprise. Mother live surely j
Iid not reach for the upplo with such ,
iungiug which caused such misery to her 1
descendants at Josephine. Sho cut 1
through the apple and found inside a po- ,
tition to the I list consul
"Madame," said tho juggler, "hoforo
you is an unlucky one, who has mixed I
an the quarrels of tho kings, and has
taken part in the wars against tho repub
lic. 1 have fought in the Vendee with a
Coca id e, which is no more that of my
country, and when tho party which 1
Mined was defeated I took flight, to li ve
in a strange land. My country drove mo
out us a traitor ilrauded like Cain, 1
wnhdered ahout; my uamo is crossed
from the list of citizens and put on tho
emigrant roll A word from your lips,
oiiadtime, can make a Frenchman of mo
again and give me hack to my own.
You, the adored wife of (ho tlrst consul,
4avo the ower to give mo back to my
country and to my own."
"Sir," sho said to thtieiuigrant, "I will
Jons you wish Tho consul bhall read
your potition and 1 assure you that I will
Jo everything I can In your favor."
Tho juggler urose, put his cups into his
pocket, his (able under his arm, bowed
lccply and disappeared,
Josephine, inclined to he 6ti)crstltlous,
could not see tho enemy of her husband
in this juggler. Sho lielleved in his
magical xwcr, which would be of uso
o tho cinK.'ror, and made up her mind
Co use all Inlluenco in her owcr with
JNatiolcoii to intercede for this man. Tho
following morning at (I o'clock Boniipatto
breakfasted in tho dining room of tho
I'alaco Malmaison. they were getting his
carrlago ready IniJiw court yard of the '
ipalnco when Josephine entered. I
"What dhl you do yesterday, dear
Josephine?" asked Uouupurto. "Who has

evil one. And how do you know him?
Where havo yon seen him?"
At this Josephine buret into tears.
"Oh. do not cry," he said, "but answer
mc: your charity has been abused. Tin?

should propose could not be denied, and
then they would in Paris, under my very
eyes, havo begun their wretched play.

"I do not know him." repjied Jose
phine: "do not get nugry. Tear up tho
jictition and we will speak qo more of it:
if you knew how it caino to me."
Josephine related how the petitioner
came to herand the wonders he produced.
"And you open the door to such peo
ple? Jugglers and magicians, who try to
strew sand in the eyes of the first consul,
because they could not deceive him! How
childish you are. Josephine, to bo blinded
by magicians!"
With these words ho approached the
sideboard and took an applo from a bas
ket. "See, In such an applo I found the peti
tion. These are on my table- every day
and accident led me to it."
Iionnpartc shrugged his shoulders and
cut the apple. It concealed a similar pe
tition. Monapartc showed Josephine the
ingenuity with which tho kernels were
taken out and tho space filled out with a
rolled up paper.
"Tho man could not but succeed," ho
said, "you may have wished as you
would. lie was in league with tho fruit

shall recommend your magician to

At the mention of this name, Josephine
trembled The name of this blood
thirsty person sufficed to arouse horror
In an innocent person Josephine knew
now that her charge was irrevocably lost.
"Alii Monaparto. I pray you, do not
have him taken here ami do not soil the
innocence of my house."
"With you? Ho is here then?"
"No. but he will coino again; I hoped
to entertain you with ids artful tricks
this evening."
"Fouche will find hhn."
Without listening any inoro ho tramp
ed on the apple and its contents, which
were on the lloor. to hurry back to Paris.
Josephine's sorrow was indescribable).
For tho first time she felt that thero was
a place in Napoleon's heart to which she
had no access. Sho instituted search in
tho vicinity of Malmaisou and went to'
all imaginable trouble to find him. She 1
wished to give him money and havo him
taken over the boundary line by ono of
her own people, lint all her trouble was
fruitless. Dinner time arrived and Jo
sephine, worried with unpleasant
thoughts, left the victuals untouched.
Hut when dessert was served both fold
ing doors opened and (ieorge Marec ap
peared with his little table, his fine ebony
sticks and tin cups.
"Fly, sir, lly!" 'Josephine addressed
him, "or you aro lost. You havo mur
dered French wildieix and deserve death,
1 can protect you no longer in my house,
Tho consul has probably given you up to
Fouche and you are helplessly lost."
Tho magician, on whoso features were
cast such a dismal look yesterday, looked
quietly at Josephine and begged her to
give him a quarter of an hour of her
time. Ue set the table down and brought
forth the cup from his pocket. This
time he offered neither rubies nor dia
monds, and neither did ho let (lowers
rain, but there tumbled out little soldiers,
footmen and riders.
"These.'' said he, "tiro tho Austriaus,
these Prussians and these Russians, and
they all unfold on a level. Do you bee
their battalions, their squadrons, divis
ions? Do you see Melas on a horse? lie
is their leader, and tho horse oq which
ho is mounted promised tho holy Nico
lausthu guns of tho French. There is
tho French army. Do you seo tho gen
eral with a Hying plunle? Ho stretches
forth his baud and all tho armies attack

tho cannons and the sound of tho trum
pets? Do you hee the tri-colored Hug?
Do you hear tho enthusiastic shoutof tho
rejoicing multitude: "Long livo tho re
public! Iong live (ieu. Ilouapartol"
And all the soldiers seemed to tumble
out of tho cups ami go in order ready for
tho battle on the table, where they per
formed the movements which Uecrgo
Marec commanded. When tho battlo
was won victorious and defeated re
turned to his Kcket, and the magician
ottered to show the wife of the first con
sul still more wonderful things, the
Egyptian expedition and tho battlo of
(ho pyramids.
Josephine could not enjoy tho treat.
Believing tho man exposed to danger,
she said to him: "Take this money and
go away."
Marec, who was more quiet and col
lected (han yesterday, baid: "I would not
sell my art for gold ye.storduy, much lew
will 1 today Show mo a favor; ojien

Josephine did tuuntl fouud tho follow

"Madamki I havo just delivered proof

When it wui discovered1 that an artificial
t light that very closely resembles "tho natural
light of day could bo procured from electric
ity, mid that it could Ikj so easily provided
as to take, in n great measure, tlio place of
gas for lighting purposes, everybody was
naturally astonished and thought that the
electricians were the greatest men on enrth.
Tlio new system mils hardly old einniuli to bo
an assured success before a lot of wise men
liegan considering tho advisability of devot
ing this light to a greater purposo than that
of merely lighting up tlio humdrum atTair
of every day life.
As an experiment a small incandescent
light was thrust beneath the water in a foun
tain. The eireet was superb while it lasted,
but tlio water managed to work its way into
tho globe, and the light was extinguished.
This gave tlio electricians something to think
about, uud they liegan immediately to rack
their bruins for a means of keeping tho water
awny from tho source of light, A coating of
rubler was finally placed over tlio joint
where tho glass globo joins the brass holder,
nnd over this was drawn a rubber bug that
llttcd tightly over tho top of tho globe and
around the pipe through which tho wire is
passed. This promised to bo successful, but
a brief experiment showed that the glass wus
not strong enough to stand tho pressure of
wnter, and, after being exposed to it for n
clinet. Hum U'nttlil oll.'ilsi A frlnlto U'nq

KnAUCII KOIl FISH.
For some tlmo this was only used in light
ing up fountains by way of un ornament, j
Then it occurred to Professor lialrd, of tho
United States llsh commission, that if alight
could bo used under water it would prove of I
great advantage to him in his search for fish
that never allowed themselves to bo caught
by any of tho old fashioned methods. Ho
believed that there existed at a great depth '
in tho ocean various kinds of fish that had
novel- been seen. livery boy who hus over I
lived near tho water knows that a favorite '
method of catching eels is to hire them within i
spearing distance by u bright light placed in
the bow of a bout, Light not only attracts I
eels, but nearly everything else that lives in I
tho water, and the professor was sure that if !
n. light could bo made to live at a great depth j
in tho water tho reward would be great.
The steamer Albatross of tho commission '
was provided with an engine and a dynamo. I
A liberal supply of heavy glass globes that
Mould hold a light equal to tho lighting 1
power of 100 candles vwis placed on board,
and, equipped with other necessary articles,
such as a lot of insulated wire, a largo quan
tity of light, strong rope, and a number of
heavy weights to servo as sinkers, tlio steamer
started out. Tho (irst attempt mis unsuecess- .
fill, for at a depth of 1,(0) luthoms the pres- !
sure was so gieat upon the globo that it
broke. Another trial was speedily mado
with heavier globes, and they were found
nblo to stand the pressure of any depth to j
which they could bo sunk, but tho most '
wonderful part of this trial trip, which took
placo boinethiut; like three years ago, was re
lated to Secretary Frank S. Hustings, of tho
Kdison Electric Light company, by Professor
Baird.
At a point near tho Hahamas. according to
tho professor, tho light was dropped 'over- ,
board and sunk bj- moans of heavy weights ,
to nearly 1,000 fathoms below tho surface. I
On tho deck of the vessel stood tho crow with
nets ready to drop them under the fish that 1
were lured from thoir homes in tho great
depth. Tlio light was allowed to remain in I
tho water for somo time, and then it was i
slowly raised. It looked like tho reileetiou of
a star in tho water at first, and its rays were
been, and in them were visible tho forms of I
dinting fish. Tho light soon litup tho water '
for twenty feet around, and a weird assort- j
luent of llsh that had never before been heard i
of was seen. When near tho surface tho en-
trails of somo of these tlsh hurst from their
mouths. "Tho professor aserilied this," baid
Mr. Hastings, "to tho inward pressure. Nu-'
turo had mado them so that they could livo
in tho great depths in which thev were found, 1
and when this pressure of tho deep water was
removed thero was a counteracting force
that killed them."

Tho dead tlsh worn just as useful for tho
purpose for which tho professor wanted them i
as livo ones, and ho gathered in a great I
many rare and curious sicchucus without j
much trouble. Tho light was also used to
good purHvs6 for discovering tho various i
depths in which different kinds of tlsh lived.
Tho cost of lining up a steamer with tho '
necessary apparatus to produce olootrio light i
is about SIhX), but this tlrst cost would l !
counterbalanced by tho cheapness of tho j
light it would produce. Tho cost of light, I
roughly estimated, Mould not bo within one- j
sixth as much as tho cost of tho usual method
of lighting. I

DISCOVERY OF GOLD.

hy Documentary Kvldence.
Tho various societies of California
pioneers nro accustomed to eclebrnto
tho 19th of Jnruinry us the dato of the
discovery of gold by J. W. Marshall at
Coloma, but that it is un error is shown
Mr. John S. Hittell in Tho Century as
follows fu fue simile of tho entry in
Bigler's diary being printed in tlio mag
azine us ocular evidence) :
The first record of tho discovery, and
tlio only one mado on tlio day of its oc
currence, was in tlio diary of Henry W.
Bigler, ono of the Mormon laborers at
tlio mill. He was an American by
birth, then a young man, nnd now a
respected citizen of St. George, Utah,
lie was In the habit of keeping a regu
lar record of bis notable observations
and experiences, selecting topics for re
mark with creditable judgment. His
Journal, kept during his service in tlio
Mormon battalion and his subsequent
fctay in California, is onoof (lie valtiablo
historical documents of tlio state. On
the U-ltii of January, in tlio evening,
Bigler wroto in his diary, "This day
some kind of mettle was found in tlio
talo race that looks like goald."
Nothing was said in public about the
dato of the discovery until 185G, eight
years after the event, when Marshall
published a letter in which ho said that
lio found gold at Coloma "about the
19th" of January, 1&18. Neither then,
nor at any subsequent time, did he
claim that his recollection of tlio day
was aided by a written memorandum.
In 1857 ho published a statement that
tho discovery was mado on the 18th,
19th or 20th. His biography, prepared
under his direction, and printed in
1870, fixed tho 19th jus the precise day.
As years elapsed ho becunio inoro exact.
perhaps under tho inlluenco of public
opinion, which from 1850 to 188G ac
cepted tlio 19th as the day.
On the 9th of September, 18S5. at the
annual celebration of tho admission of
tho stato into tho Union, I delivered un
address on tho gold discovery to tlio
Pioneer society of San Francisco, and
sent a copy of it in print to Mr. Bigler,
of whom I had heard as ono of tho sur
vivors of the Coloma party, and re
quested him to correct any errors, if ho
found any. Ho replied that according
to his diary tlio gold was fqund on tho
21th. At my solicitation lio copied tho
entries of his book from that day to the
middle of May; and then I began an
investigation which mado me familiar
with tlio diaries of Azariali Smith, a
survivor of tho Mormon battalion and
ono of the mill builders at Coloma, and
with tlio diary of Sutter.
These three diaries agreed substan
tiallyVvitli one another, and with Mar
shall's statement that four days after
the discovery lio took specimens of the
gold to Sutter's fort. Smith made his
entries on Sunday us a rule, and on the
30th of January ho wroto that on the
preceding week gold had been found at
tho mill, and that Marshall had gone
to New Helvetia to have it tested. This j
was probably written in tho morning,
for Biglor's entry made on the sanio
day mentions that the test was success
ful, implying that Marshall had re
turned. Slitter's diary reports that on the
28th of January Marshall arrived at tho
fort "on important business." without I
mentioning the gold. The agreement j
of the three diaries with Marshall's!
statement that ho went to New Hel-
vetia four days after the discovery, tlio
superior value of documentary evi
dence as compared with vague recol
lections, dimmed by years of interven- J
ing events, and tlio uncertainty of
Marshall in reference to tlio date, left
no room for doubt that tho 21th was
the true day, which I gave to the pub
lic for the first tinio in January, 1880.

This is better than sending crowds of
children out for open air during a month

souri Horticultural society, somo years
since, recommended a system allowing for
an opening every fourth of a milo in all
streets In this way a city would bo
thoroughly sunny and at tho samo time
bo provided with shaded spots. Tho same
plan included drinking fountains iu each
opening provided three times a day with
ico. Old cities can only bo Improved

What is Licking is truth
and confidence.
If there were absolute truth
on the one hand and absolute
confidence on the other, it
wouldn't be necessary for the
makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy to back up a plain
statement of fact by a $500
guarantee.
They say " If we can't
cure you (make it personal,
please,) of catarrh in the head,
in any form or stage, we'll pay
you S500 for your trouble in
making the trial."
"An advertising fake," you
say.
Funny, isn't it, how some
people prefer sickness to
health when the remedy is
positive and the guarantee
absolute.
Wise men don't put viojicy
back of " fakes."
And " faking " doesn't pay.

Martinsville, N.J., Methodist Par
sonage. " My acquaintance with
your remedy, Boschee's German
Syrup, was made about fourteen
years ago, when I contracted a Cold
which resulted in a Hoarseness and
a Cough which disabled me from
filling my pulpit for a number of
Sabbaths. After trying a Physician,
without obtaining relief I cannot
say now what remedy he prescribed
I saw the advertisement of your
remedy and obtained a bottle. I
received such quick and permanent
help from it that whenever we have
had Throat or Bronchial troubles
since in our family, Boschee's Ger
man Syrup lias been our favorite
remedy and always with favorable
results. I have never hesitated to
report my experience of its use to
others when I have found them
troubled in like manner." REV.
