PRINCE >APOLKOVS TALISMAN. Hialorr tf fhr Rfllqiini-)- thai Hip S*!mi lifl H**tfte hit Rod) . In the will of Nnpoieon 111. occurs the ollowing remarkable passage: "With regard to my son. let him k. op as a talis it an the seal I used to w ear attached to my watch, and which comes from my mother; lot him carefully preserve everything that come# to m' from the Emperor, my uncle; and let hint l>e con vinced that my heart and my soul re main with him." The telegram from | • 'ape Town wltieh announced the finding of the late ex-Prince imperial contains these wonis: " The prin.-e's body was found stripped of all clothing, hut had not suffered anv mutilation, and the n-- liquary which he w. re suspended hv a chain from his neek. together with his watch and rings, w hi< h was found lying near the spot when* he fell." The " talisman " w liioh th<" late Kin j>emr so solemnly enjoined to his son to wear, whielt ho did wear, and which re turned to his mother from that wild scene beside the Tomhakala, is almost certainly thoonoo famous charm of the Charlemagne. It has a more interesting story than any gem in Europe, if not in the world. In the course of studies for other purposes i have recently .Mine ti)Hin legendary trwa-sof this object. " La plus belle reliquede I'Kmvpe." as a French antiquarian des.'ribcii it in the last gi nenition. was hv one myth said to have been contrived hv one of the Magi belonging to the court of Haroun-aU- Ilaschtd. who came from the . ast to pay homage t the gn-at etifrieror of the .-st along with certain amhassaiiors. The wife of Charlemagne. Kaatrnda. asked the Magi for a talisman which would always cause her husKand to he fasein ated by its wearer, and this charm w as framed at her instance. But another fable ascribed to it the following origin While Charlemagne had his scat at Zutn near Zurich, administering exact justice to all. he had a column fixed at his gates with a hell and a ropo It was open to any one demanding jus tioe to sound this Ix 11; and when the emperor hearvl it. even though at his meals, he would instantly answer the summons. On one occasion Uiis hell was n-peateally rung without any per son being found near it. At length an enormous serpent was found twine.! around the rope. The emperor hearing this immediately went torth; the ser pent inelinixi respectfully Wfore him. and then moved slowly off. Charle magne followed it to the river, when he saw a monstrous load sitting upon the nest and eg. s of the serpent. Resolved to administer justice to all creature*, the emperor ordered the linul to In humed. A lew dav# after this serpent crept into the judgment hall, bow ed low to the emperor, crept ujxn the table, and having dropped a pr. . i>us stone into a golden goblet, glided quietly awav. The etup-ror. impresseti by this marvel, built on the sped where the serpent's nest had boon a church called " Wasaer kcl.-h." He gave the precious stone to )iis helovt-d spouse. Fastnuia. The stone so drew toward her tin- emperor'# love that be could hardlysuffer her >qit of his sight. In the hour of her death the em press, dreading lot another should suc ceed her in the affections of the emperor, plataxl the gem beneath her tongue, and it was buried with her. Charlemagne could not separate himself from the body, and for eighteen years carried it about with him At length his eonfes sor. by some black art. dis<-oveiei the stone and its virtues; after which Char lemagne allowed the body to lx- in terred, and transferred his affection to the confessor, who became his prime minister, archbishop of Mainz, an.t chancellor of the empire. But then, cither in a moment of repentance or anger, this individual threw the stone into a lake near Ingcthum. Then the sflection of Chariemagne was divert-d from his former favorite to the lake. :uni he built beside it a oala e. for whose decoration his other imperial n sidence# were made bare. But when Charlemagne came to die his thr.x < were long and violent: and tne archbishop, knowing tlie e-ause. had the Isk - dragg.xl for the gem he had thrown into it. The taiis nian naving l>ecn r. tored to the person of tlie mooan-h. lie died peacetuily ("It). The tomb of Charlemagne, at Aix-la- Cliapelie, was op*-ned by Otto 111. in tfJT. and it is said thai the wondrrful gem was found suspended from his neek. However that tnay lx-, the gein had b-en for a long time the most valued re lic in Aix-la-Chapelle when it wn pn-- srnted by that city to Napoleon I. It was at a moment when he seemed to many, pre-eminently to himself, an ava tar of Charlemagne. N:{>olcon presented it to his favorite Hortense, ci-dcrettU Qtteen of Holland. At her death, in 1-37. it passed to her - n. Napoleon 111 It shared his imprisonment at Dam and accompanied him through all his vieissi tudes. , In tlie course ot its long history the precious stone has undergone evolutions. The nut-like stone constituting its is surrounded by antique filigree of tin sold, and is set with various gems. Tln-re are several relh-s at>out it. It is open to speculation how far the young ex-prince was influenced by this talisman. That which his father wor at his watch chain the son wore sus pended upon his breast, as Catholics wear the most saco-d reliquaries in whose protective virtues they believe. The strange mystical addro-es to tin IVity found among this youth's papers reveal a degree of superstition about himself which amounts to a psychologi cal phenomenon. At the .eat of war. in Africa, he displayed a recklessness which has led some to believe that his desire to do "something to get himself talked about * (words reported from him by his intimate friend M. Antiques) anmamted to insanity, while ethers bejVve that he sought d-ath. But it is possible that a natural rashness of disposition, and tin tradition that a Napoleon must begin with a military ham. were Uinn-d to fatal forces by secret faith in the potency of this talisman.— Moitctire D.

Color-bundness, says an exchange. ,ias 1 e -n much talked about of late, and its existence has been conclusively proved. Out of a large number of railroad men employed on the roads converging at Philadelphia, who were examined by Dr. Keyser, of tlie Pennsylvania Medical Society, 34 per cent, mistook colors one for the other, and 84 P?r cent, were inca pable of distinguishing shades of colors. Prof. Wilson, of Edinburgh, found that one person In twenty, or five percent, -•f those examined, was color-blind. In Switzerland. 171 railroad employees out of 7,953 were discharged for color-blind ness. and on the Paris and Lyons railroad ten per eent. were affected in the same way. The Marine Hospital Service has recently issued a circular, witli the ap proval of the Secretary of the Treasury, offering to examine seamen at all ports where officers of the service are station ed. without expense to the seamen or the masters of vessels. The examination covers all physical defects, including those of vision, and certificates of fitness or rejection will be given, and a record of all examinations will be placed on file with the Surgeon-General of the Marine Hospital Service at Washington. Dr. B. -Toy Jeffries, of Boston, who ap peared before the railroad committee of the Massachusetts Legislature hist win ter, and testified as to the prevalence and danger of color-blindness, has made one iron vert, the Boston and Hingham Steam iwiaUCompany, whose employees he has lately examined for color-blindness.
