THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA, 4 Miscellaneous. Napoleon's Treatment of III (loncrals. Ho win liora n if to command tlio obedience of men lo tlie wlmlo art of king ship, which nny pcrlmpi lie doubted. He Rccini in Kcncrni tu li.uo acted on tlio jilan of Frederick tlio Great j that Is, ho demand ed nothing but success from his lieutenant, and was carelesi of tiio mean they took to obtain It. Only lalluro ho would never forgive. It vv.h a f.ivorito nAylng of liU that ho never jnjged men but by result. It was to no purpoio that Mnuotiii gave excellent re.nom for liU dijfeat by Wellington ; Xa polcun wanted victories, and not explana tion. There ii a foolish story, to which so eminent a man at S.,nthoy could give cred ence, to the cil'oct that Admiral Villoiieiivo va assassinated by order of tlio Kmpcror after liis dlsgraco at Trnfilgnr. There can be no seriotyi doubt that tlio unfortunate. commander committed suicide in sheer ter ror at the idea of an interview with the stern master whoso plan? hfi had cameil to miscar ry. It is fair tn add that those of hU captalm who were successful hail no need to com plain that their service were insiilllciently appreciated. Kven M.ihcim had acquired an Incomo of $100,000 while his star was in tho .nccndent. Soult had $00,000 a year; Ney nearly $133,000 j D.ivomt $1SO",000; while llerller, l'riiieo of Keucliatcl, enjoy dl a princely revenue of some $270,000. "They will no longer tight," Napoleon once ex claimed In a moment of dejection, referring to his general. "I havo mado them too rich." It may bo suspected that It was rather from motives of policy than of gratitudo that Na poleon thus created tlio fortunes of his mar shals in a day. - Ho was anxious to establish as a suport to his throne a powerful aristoc racy which in splendor and (to do him jus tico) in tho brilliancy of its achievements should rival the old nobility of France. Ho forgot, however, that though monarchy and democracy can exist and havo existed with out proscription, an aristocracy to be vener able must absoutely bear tho seal of antiquity. In nono of his projects had Cromwell failed moro hopelessly than in his attempt to re construct tho House of Lorih in Kngland. Napoleon, it is true, did not propose to con fer legislative functions on his nobles as such nevertheless ho intended them to bo a priv ileged class, and this alone was a moro cour ageous than wio idea on the morrow of 17S0. 77if Galaxy for October. Tiio Catlicilral of Ntre Dame. Tlio church of our lady is not only one of tho finest and oldest ecclesiastical edifice in Paris, but the most beautiful in all Franco. It stands on tho island of tho city, in tho Seine, in tho most ancient quarter of tho me tropolis. Tho first stono was laid in 1103, and it took thrco centuries to build it. Af ter having sulTorcd from the ravages of time and violence, it was completely restored about 1815. The west front, witli its two ponderous square towers,aud its innuendo rose window over the central portal, which should be seen when glowing in the rays of tiio de clining sun, is indescribably grand and strik ing. The stylo of architecture is pure Goth ic. It is built in the form of a latin cross, and is -115 feet in length by 150 in breadth. In the west front there are threo entrances, through richly sculptured ogive arches. Over theso porticoes are twenty-eight colossal stat ues of Kings of .Tudah, popularly supposed to bo French kings. Above the hugo rose window, and extending across tho entire front, is tho gallery of columns. Tiio towers are 201 feet high. In the south tower hangs tho famtftis bell of Notre Dame, weighing 32,000 pounds. The lover of romanco should endeavor to obtain his first view of Nitre Dame from one of tlio many bridges that span the Seino as tho full moon climbs tho eastern sky, silvering at first tho outlines of tlio massive pile, then gradually developing in a broader clfulgcncc those marvelous de tails of buttrosj, pinnacle, canopied niche, and rose window, that relieves its heavy grandeur. Not even tho full moon will re veal all of its quaint anatomy, but dark shadows from tho numerous projections will still involvo this monstrous work in a shroud of medieval mystery. For Woaankinil. "It is better to lovo a man you can never marry than to marry a man you tiev.cr love. This is a short text for a long sermon," says some wUo man or woman. Wo do not pro pose to tire any one with a long sermon up on It. This weather is discouraging to long sermons, even were they worthy to bo en dured at any season. A few words on the text arc sufficient. A loveless marriage is much worse for a woman in every way than for a man. In the first place woman has tho credit, whether-sho deserves it or not, of being much moro refined, of possessing much more delicacy and sensibility than tho "stronger sex." lieing thus liMicr. her do- gradation, when it comes, is much moro tcr- nblo nnd thorough. Few things can con duco to this result in a greater degreo than tho constant and intimate relation of mar ried life with a man she docs not love. Wo havo heard refined young women speak with disgust of tho coarseness of tho conversation of a class oftheir married lady acquaintances, aud in many eases havo traced this disagree able trait back to its cause a well-known lovolens wedded life. Then again, perhaps 41. .. 1. ... I f iiiu nuiiiun who marries jor support, lor a home, au "establishment," or because sh has never loved any ouo and fears that tho present will bo her last chanco (dreadful thought), afterwards meets some ono whom sho can and does love. Tlio result is easily foreseen, cither a life spent in the terrible effort to subdue an unhappy passion, or tho Ulvorco court. Alter all, tho good old Qua kcr custom is best, dim deliberation and re flection befoio "eiilering tho married state, Marrying in Wo to repent at lelure, is very Usuiouablo now-a-days, but it is a fash ion which can bo profitable or pleasant only h tho lawyers, and not to them if they iiave any pity for tho unhappy victims of ante- nuptial foolishness and post-nuptial misery. How Juuaiw Dirn:n Judgo Truukey of Venango, ono of tho ablest judges In tho btate, lias decided that to untitle a citi.eu to voto at au election his tax must havo been paid at least ono month prior thereto, and u payment for him by another must cither hnvo been authorized or ratified within tlio tho saino limit of time. This is directly In conlllct with Judge IVarson's opinion In the case delivered shortly after last year's elc& Moil, in which Ic was held that tho ratifica tion related back to tho time of performance and adopted tho act as of that date. This is an important matter, for It Is now dangerous to liavo taxes paid by others, unless by ex press authority ar.d within tho thirty days, It Is therefore illegal for coniuilttoM to pay tho taxes of a list of delinquents, without their personal request, simply to secure their votes, No dating back the ratification, any more thau dating back tho receipts, will bo allowed. Truq virtue, when she errs, needs not tho eyes of men to excite her blushes ; she is confounded at her own presence and cover 1 with confusion efface. Keep Ammonia in the House. No housekeeper nhould bo without n hot tlo of spirits of ammonia, for besides its medical' value, It Is invaluable for house hold purposes. It is nearly as useful as soap, and Its cheapness brings It within reach of all. rut n tcaspoonfiil of ammonia to a quart of warm soap-sud, dip In a llanncl cloth, and wipo oil' the dust and lly-specks, and seo for yourself how much labor it will s.ivc, No scrubbing will bo needful. It will cleanse and brighten silver wonderfully to a pint of suds inixa tcaspoonfiil of spirit", dip In your silver spoons, forks, etc., rub witli a brush nnd polish with chamois skin, For washing mirrors and windows it is very desirable; put a few drops of ammonia on a pieco of paper nnd it will readily take oil' every spot or linger matk on tiio glass, It will lake out grcao spots from every fa bric; put on the ammonia nearly clear, lay blotting paper over tho place and place a hot ll.it iron on it fur n few moments. A few drops in water will clean laces and whiten them as well, also muslins. Then it is a most refreshing agent at tlio toilet tabic; a few drops innbain of water will make a better bath than pure water, and if tlio skin is oily, it will removo all glossiness and dis agreeable odors. Added to a foot bath It entirely absorbs nil noxious smell, so often arising from the feet in warm weather, and nnthing is belter for cleaning tho hair from dandruff nuil dust. For cleaning hair brushes it is equally good, l'ut a tablospoonful of ammonia in to one pint of water, and shako the brushes through the water. When they look whito rinso them in water and put them in tho sunshine, or in a warm place to dry. Tlio dirtiest brushes will como out of this bath white and clean. For medical purposes it Is unrivaled. For the headache it is a de sirable stimulant, a frequent inhaling of its pungent odors will often entirely remove" catarrhal colds. There is no better remedy for heartburn and dyspepsia, and the aro matic spirits of ammonia is especially pre pared for theso troubles. Ten drops of it in a wine-glass arc often a great relief. The spirits of ammonia can bo taken in the same way, but it is not as palatable In addition to nil these uses, tho effect of ammonia on vegetation is beneficial. If you desiro roses, geraniums, fuchsias, etc., to become more flourishing, you can try it upon them by adding five or six drops to every pint of warm water you give them, but dou't repeat the doso oftcner than fivo or sir days, lest you stimulate too highly. So bo sure and keep a largo bottle of it in the house, atrl have a glais stopper for it, as it very evanescent and also injurious to corks. What is it to.be a Christian. It will bo a great help if at starting you have a right idea of what it really is to be a Christian. Do not look at it first as some thing that is going to make you happy. Think, rather, that you are aiming to be tho best and noblest kind of a man and woman. You are going to bo faithful, and brave, anil unselfish and lovable. You are ifoinir to think moro of other people's happine.-s than of your own. You wo to live like a child of God, taking him for your father, trusting dm for everything, seeking through his help to be like him. In a word you are to try to ive like Jesus Christ lived. Never forget that to be a Christian is to bo like Christ. l'erhaps to some of you tiio words "to bo like Christ," have a kind of beautiful sound but not a very clear meaning. Let us start at the begining, then, with something so simple that all can understand it. Tlio first thing is to bo like Christ, and the great tiling, is to bo faithful to cveiythiug that wo know is right. That menus a great deal. It means something different at every hour. In school timo it means studying one's lessons faith fully ; at play-time, it means being generous and gentle and fair; when wo are at home, it is to bo watchful for tho comfort and hap piness of every one in tho houso; when wc are tempted to any kind of evil, by other people, by our own thoughts, it is saying no, ;ind sticking to it. It is a thousand such tilings that make up a Christian life. A littloboy wanted to borrow his aunt's dog for u moment, and asked her to let him have a piece of string, so he could lead him. "What are you going to do with him?'' said the good lady. Tho boy hesitated a mo ment, nnd then said, "Well, you see, a boy round the corner bet me his dog was a larg er dog than yours." "Well," said the aunt, suppose it turns out that his dog is the larger ono?" "Then," said tho nephew, "you'll loso your dog." A lazy girl, who liked to live in comfort and do nothing, asked her fairy godmother to givo her a good genius to do everything for her. On tho instant tho fairy called ten dwarfs, who dressed and washed tho little girl. All was done so uiccly that sho was happy, except for the thought that they would go away. "To prcyc-nt that," said tlio godmother, "I will place them permanently in your ten pretty little fingers." And they aro there yet. A youngster being required to write a composition upon some portion of tlio human body, and expounded it as follows: "A throat is convenient to have, especially to rooiters and ministers. Tho formercatscorn nnd crows with it: tho latter preaches through his'n, and then ties it up. Tills is pretty much all I can think of about necks." "My dear," said n, husband to his wife, on observing new red-striped stockings on his only heir, "why havo you mado barber's poles out of our child's legs?" "Ilecause ho is a little shaver." was tho neat reply. A very tall and shabby looking man, after having a glais of liquor, asked tho bar tender if ho could change $20 bill. The gentleman informed him that ho could. "Well," said tho tall one, "I'll go out and seo if I can find one." Look on tho bright side of things, for none are so unhappy us thoso who are forever thinking how hard their lot is, and how much better olfare others. Think of thoso who havo less, sind life will bo joyous. There is no moro certain way to build uj a place than by encouraging good merchants, good mechanics, good papers, good schools and good peoplo to scttlo among you. And this can best bo douo by spending your money at homo where you are dealt with fairly. There are peoplo from whom wo secretly shrink, whom we would personally avoid, though reason confesses that they aro good peoplo j thero are others, with fuults of tem per, or tho like, beside whom wo live coil' tent, as if tho air about them did us good. Never place much reliance on a man who Is always telling what ho would havo douo had ho been there, for you will bo suro to notice that somehow this kind of people never get there.

Instead of fouling tho hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional uso will prevent tlio hair from turning gray or falling olT, and consequently prevent baldness.
