To Grouchy alone all blame must bo attrll uted. for had ho prevent ed the union ol’ the Prussians with the English tlie emperor would have had to tight only one battle at a time and could have given Ills entire personal attention to that one battle. In the second place, Napoleon would not have been force I to tight with 71.■ 047 men against two armies nnmtiering about 125,01X1—nearly two to one against him. He would have had 71. 047 good soldiers pitted against a raw. undisciplined nrmy of G7.G01 men un der the Duke of Wellington, which was not only Inferior in mere numbers, but far inferior In morale and experience. The chances would have been greatly in favor of the French. Then, too, the French army was commanded by the acknowledged master of modern war fare, whose brilliant successes at Ri voli, Marengo. Austerlitz. Jena, Fried land. Wagram, the Borodino and Dres den had dazzled the whole world. Un- til then Napoleon had never been de- feated in any great decisive battle ex- cept Leipsic, and the French were strong in their confidence of the em peror’s success.

This view is also held by the al lost writer of all, Mr. Ropes.—United Serv ice Review^________________ W. R. Davis of the Lakeshore Stage Company gives it as a certainty that there will be a new boat line on the low er Klaiuath waters this summer, this will include a line to Merrill and one from Lairds to this city. The Merrill line has the backing of the business men of that city, enough stock having been subscribed there to assure the construc tion of a boat especially designed for the navigation of the shallow waters leading to that town. The services of Mr. Balling of Portland have been se cured and it is proposed to have him de sign a boat that will draw not more than ten inches of water and equip the same with an ice breaking apparatus of j sufficient power to admit of navigation ' i during the winter. | Back of the Merrill line is a story that is quite interesting. Relative thereto a prominent citizen of Merrill remarked this week: “You can put it down as a moral certainty that this boat line to Merrill is not a myth. It will be in operation this summer and for a long time thereafter. The people of Merrill ha\e not lieen asleep as has been sup posed, but are fully awake to the fact that its iatesests were at stake.

WATERLOO. ©Touchr Wn« Solely to Blame Pot the Downfall of .Napoleon. Napoleon would have won the battle >f Waterloo had Grouchy prevented the junction of the Prussians with the English army, because he would not have had to fight two battles at once. Few persons realise that the so called battle of Waterloo was in reality a double battle, somewhat like Jena and Auers tad t. Napoleon fought one bat tle at Waterloo against the English. On the arrival of the Prussians he was forced to go In person toward I’tanche- noit and there fight another battle against the Prussian nrmy, leaving to Ney the conduct of the troops at Wa terloo. It is a well known maxim in war that a very great or decisive vic tory cannot be gained unless one com mander makes a serious blunder of which the other takes Immediate ad vantage. It is very evident that the fact of the emperor having to fight two battles at once instead of concen trating his attention on one alone enor mously increased the possibility of a mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not Money and Marble*. Once there was a man who thought Russell Sage ought to stop work. He spoke to him about it. “Why get to gether any more money. Mr. Sage? You can't eat it; you can’t drink It What good will it do you?” "Ever play marbles?” Uncle Russell asked. “Yes, when I was a boy.” “Couldn’t eat ’em, could you? Couldn’t drink ’em, could you?

The unblushing manner in which bribes and threats were resorted to by those tliat hail Inline ice over the pro ceedings of these courts denied to them the security of a juror’s oath. To reach a mischief that had growu so intolerable Henry, feeling himself strong enough with his second [mriia- menL created a court made up of the highest officers of tlie kingdom, embracing, theoretically, the king him self, who was considered tlie author of all justice, to which were confided unlimited power aud discretion over a large, undefined class of offenses, many of which were of a political character, without the restraint of a jury and subject to no revision by appeal. This was afterward known as the court of the star chamber, so called because the ceiling of the room in which it met was studded with stars or because iu this apartment prior to the time of Edward I. the contracts of the Jews, called starrs, were de posited in boxes or chests. This scheme had good results at first. Wealthy landowners wlio bad op pressed their neighbors with iupunlty were brought before this court, where neither fear nor favor could avail, and tried for their offenses. The greatest merit of the court was that it was not dependent oil a jury, for juries were unable or unwilling to render a verdict in keeping with their consciences. One said, "A court thus constituted with powers ho broad and a discretion unlimited by prescribed rules, though called into existence for wise and salu tary purposes, was in the end like in voking the s| irit of mischief without a corresponding power iu reserve to lay it or cheek its excesses if Inclined to abuse its authority." Instead of losing power as the neces sity for its existence passed away It drew to itself new elements of strength and enlarged the extent of its jurisdic tion. It became, after successive ad ministrations under tLe hands of am- bltious leade-s such as fiou rished in the time of Henry VIII, Elizabeth and the two Stuarts, a uiu-1 potent engine of despotic rule and intolerance. Tor ture. intimidation ana other devices were used to compel toe accused to in criminate himself. Charles L, through tt e star chamber, tilled his coffers. During bis reign such enormous tines were imposed for triv ial offenses that the audience gathered about the courtroom at 3 o'clock iu the morning to secure seats to hear the proceedings. The discretionary power of the court in the way of punishment made it a means of cruel injustice I d the hands of bad men, instances of which disgrace the history of its ad ministration during the reigns of James I. aud Charles L One of the most tv markable cases was that of Bishop Williams, who bad I been lord keeper of the seal, a popular prelate and a man <f learning and spirit aud at one time a special favor ite of James. While enjoying his pat ronage be exerted his influence iu be half of Laud, afterward archbishop, who owed his first promotion to liis good offices. Some disagreement arose between them. Nothing would satisfy Laud but the ruin of the man who bad lw;friended him. On some slight pretext the bishop was brought before the star chamber and fined £10,000, committed to the Tower during the king's pleasure and suspended from office, Ilis furniture and books were levied upon to pay the fine. Among some retuse papers were fouud some letters from Obaldiston, a schoolmaster, directed to the bishop. In these letters the writer spoke of a "little great man” and In one place of a "little urchin.” As Laud was small of stature, it was conjectured that these terms referred to him. They were both tried, one for receiving such scandalous letters and the other for writing them. Williams paid a fine of £8,000 and Obaldiston £5,000, aud he had his ears nailed to the pillory. I’rynne, u barrister at law, of Lin coln's Inn, a Puritan of the strictest sect, published his famous “Illstrio Mastix,” a huge volume of 1,000 quarto pages, aimed at stage plays, music dancing, public festivals, Christmas sports, bonfires and maypoles. For this alleged libelous volume be was arraign ed before tlie star chumber. Mr. I’rynne, in his general sw-eep for bls historical illustration of the mis chief of frequenting plays, referred to Nero and spoke of Flavius and others who conspired against him for his bad example upon the magistrates and the people. Tlie chief Justice from this in ferred that the author Intended to In stigate the people to murder tlie king, and I’rynne was deprived of his right of practice ns a barrister, condemned to stand In the pillory at Westminster and Cbeapside, to lose his ears, one at each of these places, to pay a line of £5,000 and to be imprisoned for life. There was hardly a man In the realm who had not personal experience of the harshness and greediness of the star chamber. It became odious, and not without reason. It was abolished In 1041 as one of the nets of concession made by Charles I. to the demands of an Indignant nation. Prynue aud bls fellow martyrs were recalled from prison.
