UV Hit. I'HATTi
The storv of Napoleon's repudiation ol
his genlle Empress has been told a hundred
times, but never with more grace and pa
thos than by Mr. Abbott in the following,
which we copy from his recently publish,
ed Life of Josephine :
At length the fatal day arrived for the
announcement to Josephine. It was the
last day of November, 1S09. The Empe.
ror and Empress dined at Fontainblean
alone. She seems to have had a presenti
ment that her own doom was sealed, lor
that day ehe had been in her retired apart
ment weeping bitterly. As the dinner
hour approached, she bathed her swollen
eyes, and tried to regain her composure.
They sat down at the table in silence.
Napoleon did not speak. Josephine could
not trust her voice to utter a word. Nei
ther ate a mouthful. Course after course
was brought in and removed untouched.
A mortal paleness revealed the anguish of
each heart. Naxleon, in his embarrass
ment, mechanically, and apparently un
consciously, Ktruck the edge of his glass
with his knife, while lost in thought. A
more melancholy meal probably was never
witnessed. The attendants around the table
seemed to catch tho infection, and moved

softly and fileiitly in the tliscliaiite of their
duties, as if they were in the chamber ul
the dead. At last the ceremony of dinnoi
was over, the allelidimts were dismissed,
and Napoleon, rising and closing the door
With disown hand, wns left alone with Jo
sephine. Another moment of most painful
silence ensued, when the Hmperor, pale as
death, an I trembling in every nerve, ap
proached the Empress. lie took her hand,
pl.tced it upon his heart, and in (lnlUrin!
uccenls said, "Josephine! my own rood
Josephine! yon know how 1 have loved
yon. t is to you nlone that I owe the
only lew moments of happiness I have
known in the wot Id. Josephine! my des
tinv is sti-oii'icr than mv will. Mv dear
est affections must viehf to Ihe interests of :
'Vance." i
Josepliine's brain reeled ; her blood
ceased to circulate ; she fainted, and lell
lifeless upon the floor. Napoleon, alarm
ed, threw open the door ol the saloon and
called lor help. Attendants from the ante
room immediately entered. Napoleon
took a taper from the mantel, and uttering
not a word, but pale and trembling, mo
tioned to the Count de Haumorit to take
the Empress in his arms. She was still
unconscious of everything, but beiran to
murmur, in tones of anguish, "Oh, no!
you can not surely do it. You would not
kill me." The Emperor led the way,
through a dark passage, to the private stair
case Which conducted to the apartment of
the Empress. The agitation ol Napoleon
seemed now to increase. lie ultered some
incoherent sentences about a violent ner
vous attack ; and finding the stairs too
steep and narrow for the Count de IJeau
niont lo bear the body of the helpless Jo
sephine unassisted, he gave the liirht to an
attendant, and, supporting her limbs him
self, they reached the door of her bed-
rQtJin
Napoleon then dismissing his male
a'temlauts, and lavina Josephine upon her
. . ' . 1
bed, rati' for her waitin-t woman. II
hung over her with an expression of the
most intense afleclion and anxiety until she
began to reive. lint the moment cou
si iousne.ss seemed returning, he left the
room. Napoleon did not even throw him
self upon his bed that ni'.'ht. Jle paced
the floor until the dawn of morning. The
roval surgeon, C'orvisait, passed the night
at the bed side of Ihe Empress. Every
hour the restless, vet unrelenting Emperor
called at her door to inquire concerning
her situation. "On recovering from my
swoon," says Josephine, "J jierc ived that
Corvisarl was in attendance, and my poor
daughter, Hiii'triise, weeping over ire.
Mo! no! I cannot describe the horror of
mv situation during that night! Even the
interest he allerted to take in my snfT'erinos
seemed to ine additional cruelty. Oh! how
much reason had 1 to dread becoming an
Empress '."
A fortnight now passed away, during
which Napoleon and Josephine saw but
little of each other. During this time
there occur ed the anniversary of the cor
onation, and of the victory of Austerlitx.
Paris was filled with rejoicintr. The bells
rang their merriest peals. The metropolis
was refulgent with illuminations. In these
festivities Josephine was compelled to ap
pear. She knew that the sovereigns and
princes then assembled in Paris were in
formed ol her approaching disgrace. In
all these sounds of triumph she heard the
knell ot her own doom. And tliounh a
careful observer would have detected indi
cations in her moistened eye and her pilid
cheek, of the s 'Ci'et woe which was ron
siiming her heart, her habitual affability
and grace never, in public, for once for
sook her. Ilorter.se, languid and sorrow
stiicken, was with h r mother.
Eugene was summoned from Italy. He
hastened lo Palis, and bis first interview
was with his mother. From her saloon he
went directly lo the cabinet of Napoleon,
and inquired of the Emperor it lie had de
cided lo obtain a divorce from (he Em
press. Napoleon, who was very strongly
attached to Eugene, inaile no reply, but
pres ed his hand as an expression lint it
i - . r . i i l.i
i w as so. Eugene immediately dropped the
hand ol the Emperor, and said :
"Sire, in that case, permit me to with
draw from your service."
"Ilowf" exclaimed Napoleon, looking
upon Ilim sally, "will you, Eugene, my
adopted son, leave me !"
"Yes sire," Eugene replied firmly, "the
son of her who is no longer Empress, can
not remain wceroy. 1 will follow my
mother into her reheat. She must now
find her consolation in her children."
Napoleon was not without feelings.
Tt ai's filled bis eyes. In a mournful voice,
tremulous wilh emotion, lie replied, "Eu
gene, you know Ihe stem necessity which
compels this measure, and will you forsake
me? Who, then, should I have for a son,
the object of inv desires and preserver of
my interests, who would watch over the
child when I am absent I If I die, who
will prove to lii i it a father.' Who will
bring him up ! Who is to make a man of
him !"
Eugene was deeply afJccted, and taking
Napoleon's arm, they retired, and convers
ed a long time together. The noble Jose
phine, ever sacrificing her own leelings to
promote the happiness ol others, urged her
son to remain the friend of Naoleon.
'The Eirqeror," she said, is your benefac
tor your n ioi e than lather, to whom
you're indebted for everything and to
whom, therefore, you owe a bouudless obe
dience." The fatal day for the consummation of
the divorce at length arrived. It was the
15th day of December, ISO!). Napoleon
had assembled all the kings, princes, and
princesses who were members of the impe
rial family, and also the most illustrious
officers of the empire, in the grand saloon
of the Tuilleries. Kvery individual pre.
sent was oppressed with the melancholy
grandeur of the occasion. Napoleon thus
addressed thera .
"The political interests of my monarchy,
the wishes of my people, which have con
stantly guided my actions, require that 1
should transmit to an heir, inheriting tny
love for the people, the throne on which
Providence has placed me. For many
years I have lost a, I hopes of having chil
dren by my beloved spouse, the Empress
Josephine. It is this consideration which
induces me to aeri(kc the sweetest nll'ec.
lions uf my heart to consult only the good
of my subjects, and to di sire the dissolution
of our man iiiiie. Arrived at the age of
(orly years, I may indulge a reasonable
hope ol living long enough to rear, in the
spirit ol my own tlioii.-.liis and disposition:-',
the ftiildren with which it mav please
IVovideiice to bless ine. Co
knows what
such a determination has cos! tny heart;
but there is no sacrifice whii li is above my
courage, when it is proved to he for the in
terests of France. Far Irom having any
cause of complaint, 1 have nothing to say
but in praive of the attachment and ten
derness of mv beloved wife. She has em-
bellished fifteen years of my life, ami the
remembrance ol them will be forever en- j
graven on my heart. She was crowned
hy my hand ; she shall retain always the
rank and title of empress. Above all, let
her never doubt my feelings, or regard me
but as her best and dearest friend."
Josephine, her eyes filled with tears.

ol attachment and devotion thai was ever
given upon earth." 1
Such were the sentiments which were !
expressed in public : but in private Jos e
phine surrendered lierscll to the on restrain
ed dominion of her anguish. No language j
can depict the inteiisily of her woe. For.
six mouths she wept so incessant I v that 1
her eves Were nearly blinded with grief.
Upon the ensuing day the counsel were
D it i 1 1 assembled in the grand s it ion, to '
witness the legal consummation of the di- .
vorce. The Emperor i iiten d the room 1
dressed in Ihe imposing robes of stale, bid :
pallid, careworn and wretched. Low tones
of voice, harmonizing with the mournful
scene, filled the room. Napoleon, apart
bv himself, leaned against a pillar, folded
bis arms upon his hreat, and, in period si
lence, apparently lost in gloomy tboiijld,
remained motionless as a statute, A circu
lar table w.is placed in the centre "I the
apartment, and upon this there was a wri
tina; appiiilus of gold. A vacant arm chair
stood before the tab!". Never did a multi
tude gaz" upon the sraflold, the block, or
the rtuillotine, with more awe than the as
sembled lords and ladies iirthis gorgeous
saloon contemplated these instruments of a
more dreadful execution.
At length the mournful silence was in
terrupted hy Hie opening ol a siile-door anil
the entrance of Josephine. The pslor of
ealh was upon In r brow, ami the submis
sion of despair nerved her into a temporary
calmness. Mie was leaning upon the arm
of lot tense, who, not possissing the forti-
tude of lief molh, r, was entirely unable lo
control her feelings. The sympathetic.
:bter, immediately upon entering into
the room, burst into tears, and continued
sobbing most convulsively during the w ho!
remaining scene. 1 he assembly respect-'
fillly arose tl poll the entrance of Josephine, :
and all were moved to tears. With that
grace which ever distinguished lu r move
ments, she advanced silently to the seat i
provided for her. Sitting down and lean- (
ing her forehead upon In r b ind, she listen
ed lo the reading of the act of separation. '
Nothing disturbed the sepulchral silence of:
the. sea ne but the sobbings of Uortense,
blending wilh the mournful tones of the
ri ader's voice. Eugene, iii tin- meantime,
pale and trembling as an aspen leal, had
taken a position by the side of his mother.
Silent tears were liickling down the cheeks

tionale son and brother. Il was a fitting'
termination of this i.:oi.inl'ul but sublime
tragedy.
fiut the anguish of the day was not yet
closed. Josephine, half delirious with
grief, had another scene still more painful
to pass through in taking a final adieu of
him who had been her husband. She re
mained in her chamber, in hearl-iending,
speechless grief, until the hour arrived in
which Napoleon usually retired for Ihe
night. The Emperor, restless and wretch,
ed, had just placed himsell in the bed from
which he had ijected his most faithful and
devoted wife, and the attendant v.' as on the
point of leaving the room, when the pri
vate door of his chamber w-as slowly open
ed, and Josephine tremblingly entered.
Her eyes were swollen with grief, -her
i bair disheveled and she appeared iu all the
dishabille of unutterable anguish. She tot
tered into the middle of the room, and np
prnacbeil the bed ; then, irresolutely stop
ping, she buried her lace in her hands, and
burst into a flood of tears. A feeling of
delicacy seemed (or a moment to have ar
rested her steps a consciousness that she
had now no risiht to cuter the chamber of
Napoleon ; but in another moment all the
pi-iit-np love of her heart burst forth, and
(oivjetting everything in the fullness ot her
anguish, she threw herself upon the bed,
clasped Napoleon's neck in her arms, and
exclaiming, ".My husband! my husband!"
sobbed ns though her heart were breaking.
The imperial spirit of Napoleon was fur
the moment entirely vanquished, and he
also wept almost convulsively. He assur
ed Josephine of his love of his ardent and
iiudving love. In every way he tried to
soothe and comfort her, and for some time
Ihey remained locked in each other's em
brace. The attendant was dismissed, nnd
for an hour ihey continued together in this
last private interview. Josephine, then in
the experience of an intensity of anguish
which few hearts have ever known, parted
j forever from the husband she had so long,
j,0 fondly, so faithfully loved.

AN AUn.lM l JUSTICE. I
When ths Creek Indians Inhabited Ala-
bamn, thern worn sijvoial mtgistra'es ap
pointed who had exlensivo jurisdiction.
Their power, and the extent of territory
over which it spreal, tnndo these magis
trates, in pmvpr, equal lo the territorial
Governor. One of these magistrates was a
well known "character"' who resided i"
''Tuikey Town," an Indian village en the
Coosa liver. Hi) had a "Marshall" who
wns known in his tribes as ''Moiieycries."
This mauistiate was reiimrnkble for his con
lempt of legal opinions, and judicial forms.
"Equity" was his hobby, and when "his no
tions of right and justice catno in contact
with "law," the latter was forced to give
way. t lo though! the customs of tho Indi
ans more equitable in many cases than the
law of Congress, and ho never failed, in
such cases, to set aside tho h'.tter, Money
uric co-operated heartily with "tho conn"
and by their combined efforls ihey
managed to deal out justice, with certain
ty, but some limes with real Indian sever
ity. The. following scene once occured "in
com;."
Magistrate. This court is held to try a
case in which "Little Chubby," a Creek In
dian, is defendant, and Tom Dale, a grocery
keeper, is plaintiff. Dale claims S20 from
"Little Chubby," and Chubby says he paid
it in beaver skins. Gentlemen, continued
the magistrate, addressing Iho bystanders,
Injius ain't likely to lie when they owe
white men. Bnl white men vill lie, w hen
they trade with the lujins-. This is the ex
perience of "my court." Proceed, gentle
men, with ibis case.
The attorney for Tom Dale proceeded lo
make out his case. Dale swore that his
debt was "just, t'ne, and unpaid " He iben
introduced a witness to prove that Little
Chubby had only caught ten beavers in the
last mouth and that he had sold them to
deponent. The Indian had no witnes
ses, and po the case was thus fully made
out.
Tho attorney remarked, addressing the
court "may it please yonr honor, I claim a
judgment for my client there is no defence
except mi averment of Chubby, and tl:ilbe
eon it ean'l regard."
' (icntlcmoi," said our magistrate, "I ain't
satisfied, and I ain't going lo allow the In
jin to bo swindled," said he, addressing
Moueyories, "Jlr. Marshal, hand mo that
bonk ; 17 u.'.c a near in this ense, niiscy,"
and suiting the action to the word, he kissed
the book, and addressing Moneyeries, re
maiked, "Mr. Marshal, I constitute you this
eoml nnd will lake a swar in this case.
May it please the court," said lie, "there's
cheatiii' round this beard, and 1 intend to
expose it lo this court. I'd ra'.her lake an
lujin's word than a whiskey seller's oath,
any lime. But ibis court can't decide in fa
vor of ihe Injin with a yirnr on his behalf
and that swar I am now, Mr. Marshal, go
ing to lake."
lie then proceeded to state that little
Chid by bad come to his house, and he offer
ed to buy from him ten beaver skins.
Chubby declined selling them, us he had
promised l hem to Mr. Dale to pay a debt ol
twenty doll. us due him. He saw Chubby
go into Dale's and leave the skins, and
w hen he came out, Chubby lold me lie had
paid bis debt. When ho bad concluded, lu
resumed his seat.
Dale's attorney protested against this "ta.
Line a suur in the rose" but he was inter-
lupled by the magi, irate, who infurineil him
that this was Ins mode ot dispensing
equity.
Lawyer. May it please the court, I will
lake an appeal in lids case.
Magistrate. The court is satisfied lhal
the evitlaire is in lavnr of Little Chubby, and
no iipjieel will Le allowed.
Allor. May it please lhe court. I con
sider ibis proceeding a d d faice !
Mag. The conit coiisideis this a case

Mag. Mr. Maisbal will lake Jlr..l n

pays it, lhe Maishal wiil summon a posse of
lujins, and lie him tip, and thereupon inflict
on him twenty stripes, according lo Injiu
custom, and ihen inform him that il vill im
