Ho darts from place to place with astonishing celerity, and in many instances with insufficient or nndiscoverable motives of transit. His flights aro like those of a bird; say, an eagle's. Thus during his stay in Corsica he suddenly springs off, in October of 1787, and is at Paris for more than a mouth. But at Christmas he is hack at Ajaccio with an extension of his leave of absence. Again, during his stay at Auxonne, he speeds away for fifteen days to Seorre, in command of a small detachment to suppress a riot.

High School Notes. As Miss Ridpath could not be in her usual place in the school yesterday, Prof. 0g2 took charge of her work. The only change made .in the program was the substitution of a review lesson in constitution for the seniors in place of their regular lesson. This was done because the work in Latin is very nearly finished while the constitution will require all tlie time that cun possibly be given to it. Tiie seniors are review ingCicero s Defense of Archias and will be examined over it as soon as they have finished it. II the class is in favor of doing so, they will probably be allowed to read a part of Virgil. As a part of their work in literature the middles will write essays upon subjects either chosen by themselves or selected by the teach er. They are expected to do the work upon them that they would do if they were the graduating class and were going to use these essays as their speeches. The juniors have been initiated into the pleasures of dissection. It seems that that science room never will be free from the odor ol the many felines offered up there for the sake of the cause. Last Tuesday morning Roger Burlingame and “My Pretty Irish Ara Blake sang a morning. Mieses Minta Dale were with Miss Southard during part of her recitations last \Vi dneaday. Miss Grace Smith, of Danville, visited the school Tuesday with her cousin, Maggie Cosner. Miss Smith is a student in tlie normal school in Danville anil has many friends in Greencastle. The faculty of the school have chosen Sallie Sellar, Allie Brown and Frank Vestal to speak at the commencement, in additii*n to those chosen by the class and those that speak by virtue of their class standing. The selection was made after much deliberation and everything having a bearing on the case was taken into consideration. It is a good selection. The subjects for the speeches have been assigned. Some took advantage of the privilege given and chose their own. They are limited to five minutes. The graduating class has been honored by being allowed to furnish part of the musical numhets of tlie commencement program. Those that take part in this way will be chosen from those that do not

NAPOLEON BV APP1ANL period of fifteen mouths. His occupations at that place were much like those at Valence and Ajaccio. Ho performed his military duties in a desultory way, but with moro exactitude thau the French code of military ethics at that time required. But military duty demanded only a fraction of Ins time; the rest was given to that intense but fragmentary study by which his mind was \ trained and supplied with a wide range j

of information.

Tho winter of 1788-89 was passed by Bonaparto in his quarters at Auxonne. | As yet, Lieutenant Bonaparte had never as a soldier drawn blood, or seen it drawn by others. His restlessness now boro him rapidly on to action. His passion for doing something and for “following ins destiny"—a fiction which ho was always dwelling upon—led him to comndt himself (ambiguously) to the Corsican patriots. His adroitness was such, however, that he kept ever a cord to his purposes whereby he might recover himself for France. In fact, ho knew not what thing ho would be called to do, or in what cause his sword should first be actually unsheathed. His nature was always to avail himself of tho first contingency. Napoleon is doubtless— snch was his sleepless vigilance—the only great man of history who never lost an opportunity! Bonaparto was with his regiment, socalled "of Iron,” at Auxonne, when tho great Revolution in Franco began. Within a month from the trifling event at Seurre, tho States-General assembled at Versailles. There, on tho 6th of May, 1789, the most remarkable political body of modern times went into session, on tho condition of France and mankind. There was a procession of great men; a gathering to their seats in the Hall of Menus; a seating of six hundred representatives of the people; a looking down from tho gallery of the young Baroness do Stael-Holstein on the heads of Biquetti do Mirabean, tho philosophic Volncy, the lean Jean Paul Marat, tho big young Daiiton of Arcis-sur-Aube, (he lithe Camille, tho Sea-green Robespierre, and tho rest. It was the beginning of the end of much—the opening of a small crevasse iu the gn at dyke whereby a feudal civilization had walled in tho destinies of mankind for centuries. Outside that an- j ciont wall lay the roaring ocean, soon to i rush iu wave on wave, till the deluge, ! flecked with blood, should rise to tho pinnacles “f nil palaces, nnd splash the domes ot all cathedrals. Tho effects of tho extraordinary movement thus begun for the reform of tho French nation were strikingly diverse in tho different parts of tho kingdom. Franco was as yet homogeneous in nothing. The towns of tho South, under the loyal scutum nts of tho old Provencal race, received tho news in one spirit, and the towns of tho North in another. On men themselves the news fell from week to week with varying efl’ects according to their personal characters and j prejudice of race. In general, they who had imbibed the principles of the new French philosophy either went after the Revolution or ran before it waving a flag. Such a mind was Bonaparte’s. No doubt he was a horn revolutionist— provided always he could himself control the revolution. His nature was fitted in every part for that state of fruitful anarchy which tends again to order. [ He was essentially a man for tho storm nnd hurricane, hut mited best tho after stages of the tempest. Would not this revolutionary flro.iu France leap tho sea and kindle itself In Corsica? Dots not occasion now offer for the recovery of Corsican independence? Does not the path of destiny open by wav of AinoH.i rather than hv wav of

uanst or u me cause inueea lies uy ' way of Paris, does it not first extend | through the native island? Tho patriot j Paoli resides in English exile; perhaps be may return to Corsica, and we as his lieutenant-in-chief may yet lead tho patriots to independence and g3y. To sum up all, Napoleon at this stage was whirfs d along by the coming storm; but he cautiously kept his bearings, became practical rather thau theoretical, and impatiently awaited tho opportunity to become great. Lieutenant Bonaparto remained with his regiment at Auxonne until tho 15th of September, 1790. Tho Revolution had now been iu progress a year and fonr months. The movement had become more ami more portentous at every step. Tho ruined Bastilo was already a hateful, but glorious, reminiscence. At this time-Corsica was represented in the National Assembly by two moderate patriots, named Salicetti and Coloua. The royal delegate from the island was that Buttafuoco whom Choiseul had used in establishing the French protectorate in Corsica. Tho people of the island were divided into several hostile factious. First of all, there was a royal faction, very few in number, composed of the petty Corsican nobles and the higher ecclesiastics. These virtually constituted the insular ‘‘government " Secondly, there was a moderate party favorable to liberalism, but supporting the French protectorate. In the third place, there was a powerful revolutionary party,favoring absolute independence, ami seeking by the recall of Paoli to overthrow all foreign authority. This condition of affairs, as well as the deplorable state of his family, induced Napoleon to obtain another leave of absence, and to return to his native country. On his way homeward, he stopped at Aix; and there ho found his brother Lncien. That obstinate personage had withdrawn from the military academy at Brienno, but had failed to secure admission to the theological scl>ool at Aix. There ho was in poverty and hopelessness, when Napoleon eame and conducted him back to Ajaccio. Tho latter, at Marseilles, visited tho Abbe Kaynal; hut there is no record of what occurred. Once at home, the young French officer was recognized as a man of importance; for he was tho only Frenchman in the island possessing a thorough military education. Tho project was now on for tho organization of tho Corsican militia; and Napoleon was necessary for success. Ho entered into tho revolutionary intrigues of tho day, moving obscurely and dangerously among the popular leaders, wholly distrusted by the few aristocrats, and identified with tho moderate liberals only at tho risk of his commission as an officer iu tho French army. That army was still the King’s army; but the officers were nearly all, liko Napoleon, infected with revolutionary sentiments to tile extent that almost every sword might bo said to have Re- I pnblique dimly etched on tlie blade. Tito history of this period at Corsica ] is small, treacherous, chaotic. From September of 1790 to tho 1st of June, 1791, Napoleon remained in tho island, committing himself more and inore(but ever cautiously) to tho motions of upheaval. Had it not been for tho universal dissolution he must at once havo suffered arrest nnd dismissal from the army. From tho middle of October until tho following February, ho overstaid his leave of absence, working all win- I ter at tho various intrigues which were ; rife among his turbulent countrymen. Ho then devised a plausible excuse which was accepted at headquarters, and the next ihiy procured another extension of his leave! Nor did he cease to | flourish among tho agitators of Ajaccio until his departure to rejoin his command in May of 1791. Such had been the shifting connection of Lieutenant Bonaparte with the Iron Regiment that he was almost an unrecognized force in his own division of the army. His absences from tho command had far exceeded in duration his pros ence with it. On returning to France, ho was assigned to tho Fourth Regiment of artillery, stationed at Valence. His ] irregularities as an officer had not so far prevailed over tho opinion of his groat abilities and solid acquirements as to prevent his promotion at this time to tho rank of lieutenant en premier. On the political side, Napoleon was now drawn with great force towards the Revolutionary party <;» Fnant. I'trhnps tho notion dawned in him thifwith the success of the Revolution and the rebuilding of the nation on a new republican basis, Corsica borsnlf, by liko revolt and renovation, might join in the common movement to greater advantage than could be gained hv naked rebellion.' TItis sentiment was fanned by a proposition made at this time iu tho Assembly to enlarge the titles of tho “King of the french” by adding the! names of tho Nnvarrese and Corsicans j formally to the list of his subjects. All such intermediary projects catno to! naught with tlie onrushing of the Revolution. They were soon swallowed up | with the King himself and all kingly things in the deep hell-throat that open-

ed.

But ever and anou tho Corsica trend was strong on Lieutenant Bonaparte. Hardly hud ho got his place in tho Fourth Regiment, at Valence, until he broko away again for his native island. There tho stage of actual tumult bad coma Napoleon was elected lieutenantcolonel of tho Second Battalion of tho | Corsican army. Ho cautiously accepted the post, but at the same time kept his eye fixed on Franco. Then, after holding his place in tho army of insurgents for less than a mouth, he suddenly sped
