THE SWARMING OF -THE BEES.

Napoleon Retrained Hla Km pi re Twenty Days After Leaving Elba. At nine o’clock u mighty shout Is heard without. “The Emperor! The Emperor!” The palace echoes the cry, as across the bridge of the palace, and along the Heine embankment, In through the Tullerles gate, thronged about by a clamorous crowd, and surrounded by his soldiers and Ills generals, Napoleon enters the courtyard. Tarls Is wl4l with joy! The veterans iilng themselves upon the Emperor’s carriage. They seize him In their arms. They drag him out, and, bearing bln. on their shoulders, they rush with him through the doorway, even to the foot of the great staircase. The palace rocks with the shouts of welcome. The crowd bearing the Emperor, and the throng pouring down the staircase to greet him, block the way. Progress Is Impossible. People are everywhere, and Philip, standing at the top of the noble Stairway of Honor, laughs, as he cheers, to see Corporal Poyrolles sitting astride the great silver statue of Peace, his chapeau on the end of bis cane, his face rod with shouting and wet with tears of joy. At last a passage way is broken through the crowd. Philip and Monsieur do Lavalette, back their way aloft and keep the passage open, nnd so, up the clamoring stairway, along the Gallery of Diana, through the Blue Room, and into the Emperor’s study, ninid tears and cheers aud shouts, and tossing of bats and waving of handkerchiefs, the Emperor comes to his own again. In twenty days after leaving Elba, Napoleon has regained his empire. With but a thousand grena- ’ diers he has conquered thirty millions of people. The Swarming of the Bees ends In a carnival of joy .—St. Nicholas.
