Bonaparte's Match Making Friend Meets

At the C' ii lenccment of his career I
the great Na|.o"oti fell in with an ardent
revolutionist M. Paul Francois Hurras,
who took a hi liking to the young 1
Corsiean, ; d conceived the highest
opinion of h :■ .ilities and of the powers
which, events proved, lie possessed in so
remarkable a d greo. lUtt in the opinion
of Barras, Napoleon's want of means |
was a musts ri.ius obstacle to hi-, cbanco
of achievin.:; fan:.", ami lie proposes to I
remedy this by selecting for him a rich
wife. Now. whether it was that he did ;
not number am "ig bis acquaintances
many wonie i with the requisite dot, or
whether he thought that his portage's
fiery youth \ uiki he belter for the re- !

thin air as w tl ; evident delight
with which . turned from him
to the more ent taniin ; companion she I
had found cN vie re.
Supper i r, I'.arras drew Napoleon
aside and spake forcibly to him of the
foolish way in which lie w; throwing
away his > "You know." said
lie, "that i, is everything to you;

Hot stretch • ;t your hand to take them; j

not show her th. smallest gallantry. I
Mil ■ Montansier lias come here this !
evening pr. pai d to hear a declaration
from you. ; while the iron is hot,
and win the wi .hi: that you cannot do |
without at one bold stroke."
"The woman is old enough to be my
grandmother." slid Napoleon, who was j
then 23 y i old: "but that is no mat- i
ter, for lo me all women are alike.
Money is what I want; and, if I cannot
get it without a wife, I must take the
two together. I am no coiner of pretty
speeches, but before tlie evening is over
1 will say to her: 'Mademoiselle, are
you willing to accept me as your hus
band?' More than that I cannot do."
"The very kind of proposal that any
woman would expect from a blunt sol
dier," replied Barras. "Say that, and I
desire no more. You are to be envied;
for, besides ber wealth, mademoiselle is
very handsome still."
THE FORESTALLED PROPOSAL.
Napoleon turned away with a gesture
of impatience; but half an hour later
Barras noticed, to his joy, that the two
were alone together in a recess. Presently
Napoleon got up and went away, and
the lady beckoned to Barras with her
fan. "Take away that dreadful little
man," she said with a shudder; "he has
bored me to death, and I only prevented
him from proposing by sending him for
a glass of lemonade."
"But why prevent him?" said Barras.
"He will be a great man yet."
"Give myself and my money to such a j
little horror, such an ill-mannered boor j
as that!" replied mademoiselle. "Never! >
I would sooner take the first beggar man j
cut of the streets. What have I done j
that I should lie given such a wretched !
Bvening? Don't let your"
But at this moment she was checked 1
by the arrival of Napoleon with tho j
lemonade. Barras hurried away, still j
hoping for the best; but soon he saw at
the other end of the room Bonaparte
standing in the attitude in which he has
so often lieen depicted, with his arms
folded and his chin sunk upon them.
"Well, are you to be married?" he said,
hastening towards his protege,
"That old nctress," said Napoleon,"that
female Croesus refused me before I had
opqned my mouth to ask her hand. I was
on the point of speaking, as I told you I
should speak, when she began to inform
me that her wealth was the cause of her
constantly receiving offers from adven
! turers who cared nothing for herself; that
she thanked Providence sho had so far
' seen through some fellows, and that she
was re i >lved to keep her independence.
I was glad 1 had not spoken, for it gave
i me the opportunity of saying: 'Made
moiselle. pray persevere in that praise
worthy intention; it is one which I am
sure no one will ever try to persuade you
to alter.' Let her keep her millions to
bait the hook for some one else; I have
done with her."
And in spite of Barras' endeavors the
affair ended there.
In after years Mile. Montansier was
fond of boasting that, had shechosen, she
might have been empress of France and
wife of the most famous man of the age.
Gould she have been gifted with the fac
ulty of foresight, no doubt she would have
regarded more leniently the young man
whom M. Barras wished her to marry.—
Chambers' Journal.
A! tlr l <i;w Office Window.
"Anything new this year for the peo
ple in ibewayof gas meters?" asked a
| subdued looking citizen at one of the
j windows of the gas office oi: Dearborn
1 and Lake streets.
The man on the inside, whose long at
tention to duty at that post has made
him look haughty, tried to thaw out in
| front of the inquiry.
"You may say," he replied, as if he
were conferring a favor, "that our gas
j meters will run this year as usual—
which is to say, all right. And let me
! say another thing. There has been a
good d; al of complaint in the year gone,
1 at this very window, and to this very
| person now speaking, sir, that we have
rendered bills to people for gas who
were out of town and who had not
lighted a burner in six weeks. They
have come to us and exclaimed with air
of triumph, sir, that they had us at last.
A sort of ah-lia business, you know, like
! the villain in the first act of the play."
Then the man at the window paused,
took a fresh grip on his breath and re
sumed:
"You may say to these deluded peo
ple that a certain amount of gas is
forced through the meter, any way, and
if it isn't burned it will leak, and the
register marks it up just as if it were
burned. So you see that the gas com
pany is not a robber after all. Tell that
to the people."
The man without gave a longing look
and gasped: "Then there is no hope?"
"You can take out the meter," said
the wretch inside, as he resumed his
work of compounding.—Chicago Trib
une.
Tho Ili-.it Wearing Leather.
But very few people who wear Cordo
van shoes have any idea where the
leather bearing that name comes from,
hence the question is often asked, "What
is Cordovan?"
"Cordovan." tho name by which
leather madfrom tho hides of horses is
now known, was iirst finished in Ham
burg, Germany, under the name of Ross
In c .ml i lation with it the hide lias
i four layi is of muscular skins which,
| with the "shell," give to the horse the
j great and In i lendous pulling power that
j make., the animal so serviceable to man
kind. This "shell," if properly tanned
and sba w ii clean of its sinewy matter—
a mo t difficult task—make i the best
wearing 1 . titer in exi. :• ace. and proves
i the theory o. old time shoemakers —that
only leather of a long fiber will wear—
-1 to be a mistaken, one, as the 'via 11" litis
no liber.
In this it 1. as a decided advantage over
call'.- kin with its fibers; the breaking of
any one thro additional strain upon the
other, ntid a I reak in tho leather soon fol
lows.
Experience has demonstrated that the
] "shell" will wear two or three times long
! or than calfskin.
j Cordovan posii-ws another great ad
l vantage in b. ing the nearest waterproof
jof any leather made. The fineness of
j texture' also permits its taking a very
' high poli-;h.—St. Louis Republic.
The Indian in Literature.
' Cooper is said, by Bradner Matthews,
to have been tho first author who intro
duced tho red man into literature. This
has been disputed, and it is alleged that
"Chateaubriand, who visited the new
world in the year of Cooper's birth, cer
tainly did not neglect tho noble savage."
But here are some mistakes. Chateau
briand was in America in 1791, when
Cooper was 2 years eld. His "Atala,"
a tale of Indian life, appeared in 1801.
Cooper's first novel appeared anonymous
ly in 1819, and his "Last of the Mohi
cans" in 1826. But Thomas Campbell
had introduced the Indian to English
literature in his "Gertrude of Wyoming,"
which appeared in 1809. But Alexander
Pope's lines, beginning "Lo, the poor In
dian," appeared about 1782, more than
fifty years before Cooper was born; and
it certainly refers to the red man of
America, for the poet adds that his
"humbler heaven" is a place
Where slaves once more their native land behold
No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold.
Tlie "Christians" here mentioned were
the Spanish invaders of America.—Low
ell Courier.
The Use of Letters.
j It may not be generally known to the
j reading public how much each individual
' letter of the alphabet is used. D, h, n, o,
' c and u are in third place as regards Ordi

! place, being used a very little oftener; 1
| and m are in fourth place, with f, g, y,
I v, p and b close afterward; j and k aro
I not common, as compared to the rest;

KENTUCKY'S PIONEERS.
THE EARLY MOTHERS WHO COULD
PROTECT THEMSELVES.
Women mi l Children as Indian Fighters.
Mr*. Davie*#' Strategic Movement for the
Capture of a Lawless White Enemy of
tier Husband—The Story of "Sharp Eye."
In the early settlement of Kentucky,
tlio boys, and even the women and chil
dren, I. came as thorough soldiers as the
men, This was the result of their sur
roundings. They were educated to it,
and lived at a time when it was neces
sary to , '.dice it daily. There were
few w > ■•"•! 011 the frontier but could
load and lire a rifle, and many of them
could ilw i; with as fatal accuracy as
tlirir •. husbands ami brothers. A
fair iiln ir ii ion is found in the case of a
Mrs. Daviess, whose husband was among
the I settlers of Lincoln county. She
could let an Indian with as steady a
name ■ , Daniel Boone himself. Ono day
awl M I came to her husband's cab
in wit.) i .1 olen some property from
him. tie ;o bore a bad character gen
erally
Mrs. B.M.e s was alone with her chil
dren ■ • i tl.ii desperado called, and,
I nn ' Imr husband was on the look
out 1' :•!: ':e resolved to capture him.
Upon hi. nit ring the cabin sho asked
him if h • tiuld not "take a dram" —no
pioii" ; '■> home was over found without
its whisky bottle, which was kept as a
remedy i> r snake biles, etc. She put the
bottle on the table and told him to step
up and help himself. Lie set his gun
against the cabin wall to comply with
her invitation, and, after a hearty pull at
the bottle, lie turned to And himself look
ing into the tnuzzlo of his own rifle,
which Mrs. Daviess bad picked up while
he was drinking, cocked it, and stood
with it leveled at his head. When he
asked her wli.it she meant, she informed
him that he had stolen her husband's
property, and she meant t > keep him
there until i.is r tm.i, a.el she did. Blie
stood guard over hint until her husband's
return, when she delivered to him her
pi i siner
The ij-iys were no less brave and man
ful fn light the "Injuns" was the tirst
thing they i timed, and, by i no time they
could lift a rifle they knew how to use it.
Many instil •' ■ .id incidents could be
gi\ .i illn i it in . ti. • heroism "f the bor
der boys, of tvhieii the following may be
taken as a fair siunpl •• Among the early
si tilers of liardin county wad one Silas
Hurt, an expert hunter, a thorough back
woodsman, ami an inveterate India#
hater and lighter. Whenever an Indian
incur, ion was made into the state he was
one of the first on the trail, and lie pur
sued ti.e'.i relentlessly and with thekeen
-8C33 c:;; !:!.• 'hound. Ilia keen eye. and
prowess ill skirmish and battle, won from
the Indians the name of "Sharp Eye."
On ono. f ti. ir many incursions into
his neighbor!. , . llart pursued them
with a few clu followers, and before
they reached I'm Ohio shot and killed
their chief. TI: savages vowed ven
geance cgai'ict bun and his family, and
shortly another incursion was made by
them un i rtliel •ndersbip of the brother
of the fallen chief. As usual, Hart was
first on their trail, end the savages re
treated i >v,ard the Ohio. The whites
finally ci s 'red of overtaking them and
returned! . when the Indian, turned
upon ti: I". I r.r. 1 las' tine t'le pursuers

their friends.

Kur; 1 one mor.ling in August, 1782,
by In lian ; They bad approached his
cabi : d> in;; the night, concealed them
selv , mid waited for him to make his
appear, nee. Daviess, a little after day
light. got lip and stepped out of his cabin,
lie had proceeded' but a short UisLince
from tb Juor when, turning, lie beheld
a numbi: ol .-arttges behind him and the
cabin. Seeing there was no chance to
render his family assistance, lie fled to
the nearest station, which was five miles
distant, for help.
The Indians made prisoners of his
wife and children, the eldest a boy 12
years old, and, knowing Daviess had
escaped, they soon left with their pris
oners, hoping to escape beyond the
Ohio. Daviess gathered a force, and
pursued so rapidly as to overtake them
before night. As usual, when about to
be brought to bay, the savages essayed
to kill their prisoners, but were too
closely pressed by the whites. A savage,
however, succeeded in knocking down
the boy and scalping him. The boy
was not killed, only stunned by the
blow, and almost as soon as the savage
left him bounded to his feet, exclaim
ing: "Duru that Injun, he's got my
scalp."
The boy lived to grow up to manhood,
but was ever after "bald headed"; the
hair would grow no more on that part
of the head which had been scalped. He
never forgave tho savages for rendering
him prematurely bald headed, but swore
eternal vengeance against them. In the
summer of 1792, ten years after his ex
periences detailed above, a band of In
dians raided the settlement, and stole a
number of horses. Young Daviess joined
a party in pursuit of them. When the
savages found they would be overtaken
they ambushed tho whites, and in the
j skirmish that ensued young Daviess was
| killed. Thus the Indian fatality clung
to him.- William Henry Perrin in Louis-
I ville Courier-Journal.
