MADE THEM MABRY, EMPEROR NAPOLEON WAS A MATPlr MONIAL DESPOT. He Compelled Women to Marry to Suit His Interests or Whims—Some of the Dlsagrotable Alliances Brought About by This Tyrannical Matchmaker. Among th'' numerous works .to which the revival of the Napoleonic legend h«3 given birth is one called “Napoleon and the Ladies. ” Tho writer exerts himself to the utmost to transform the rough soldier and despot into a hero of romance, but without success. His relation with his two wives were not remarkable for either consideration or delicacy, and ho adopted a coarse pleasantry in bis conversation with the ladies of,his court which was not far removed frGm downright vulgarity. But what tended to make the very name of Napoleon hateful to all young Frenchwomen was his famous conscription of girls, whom he married offhand to his generals without the slightest ceremony. Tho Marquise de Corgny, on hor return to Paris, was ordered to marry her daughter to General Sebastiana. Both mother and daughter protested in vain. Three days after the order tho marriage took place at the Tuileries, Napoleon himself giving away the bride. Mila Adele do la Rochefoucauld was renowned throughout tho whole department for her grace, beauty and expectations, when she was privately informed by tho prefect that Napoleon had decided to marry her to Count Aldobrandini. The lady objected to the count for the best of feminine reasons— namely, that ho was neither youug nor handsome. I The count, however, was the brother of Princo Borghese, tho husband of Pauline, the sister of Bonaparte, and the resistance of father and daughter was of no moment, and they were obliged to yield to the will of Napoleon. Count d’Arbei*g, tho descendant of a sovereign family, prefect of the Boneheg da Weser, and one of Napoleon’s chamberlains, had two daughters of marriageable ago. Napoleon ordered that ouo should marry General Klein, and the other General Mouton, count do Lobau. The mother of tho two young ladies was Countess Stolberg, sister of Countess Albany, widow of the last of the Stuarts. Fanny Billon, the daughter of Count Dillon, was ordered to marry General Bertrand. The young lady refused even to see the general, objecting that he was hideous, which unfortunately happened to be tho truth. Napoleon was irritated at this conduct and ordered tho young lady to be arrested and confined in prison until she consented to marry Bertrand, tho monster, as she called him. Tli« Due de Lanreguais, father of the Due d’Arenberg, eqlouol of a regiment of cavalry and an unfortunate bachelor, was ordered by Napoleon, under penalty of dismissal from the army, to marry forthwith Milo. Stephanie Tascher de la Pagorie, cousin germain of the Empress Josephine. Tho young lady as well as the duke objected to the marriage, and the former had the audacity to declare that sho net only hated tho duke, but was over head and ears in lovo with a certain M. do Gentry. The marriage between the cousin of Josephine and the duke nevertheless took place, and at the marriage ceremony, when the young lady, in reply to tho priest’s question, refused to say yes Napoleon himself deigned, to push her head downward in token of assent. After the marriage ceremony this strangely married couple went to reside at the Hotel de Chimay. But the duchess refused to receive her husband, who, like a reasonable being, posted after his regiment, then serving in Spain. In 1811 ho was made prisoner and sent to England, where ho remained until the fall of Napoleon in 1814. On his jrotnrn to Paris the duchess obtained a dissolution of the marriage on the ground of restraint, and she finished by marrying the happy M, deGcntry. The Prince of Hoheczollem, cousin of tho king of Prussia, was ordered to marry Antoinette Murat, a cousin of the “Beau Sabreur’’ and king of Naples, and although both the prince and Antoinette declared that they mutually hated one another the marriage nevertheless took place, Napoleon being of tho opinion, like Mrs. Malaprop, that married life had better commence with a little hatred: Ono morning the Due de Croy was informed by his friend, tho prefect of Mans, that Napoleon had resolved that his daughter should be married at once to a general, and that an order to that effect would bo delivered to the Duo de Croy on the following day. But the duke was a man of' resource, and there being in the house an amiable cousin, one Fernand de Croy, a marriage between the two cousins was celebrated at midnight by the parish

priest. When the formal order of Napoleon arrived the next morning, the duke replied that he was “desolated! ” bat that his daughter had already marked her Cousin Fernand. But it was net safe to try to outwit the powerful emperor, and a few days afterward Cousin Fernand, the married man, was drafted into a regiment of cavalry and sent to Russia, from which country he eventually returned, minus an arm. As late as 1812 the Minister of Police Savery issued a circular to all tho prefects of departments, ordering them to send to Paris a list of all the heiresses in their respective departments, with full particulars as to age,- personal charms and amount of property, either in possession or in expectation. These lists were sent to the emperor, who divided his time impartially between their perusal and the monthly returns of the positions of his regiments and their presumed equipments. In fact, the emperor/ whether from policy or freak, or from both, v^as an inveterate matchmaker and never troubled himself about the “conscientious scruples” of either the ladies or gentlemen concerned,-p— American Register.

THE OX CART. tkMS^e Facts Concerning That Lumbering: but Picturesque Vehicle. ‘f One would scarcely expect to find ox carts made in this city, but they are made here by one manufacturer as a part of a general wagon making business. The sale of ox carts in this country is decreasing. Here the use of them has always in large measure been confined to the rough and hilly farms of tho New England and middle states, and even in .those states they are now giving way to carts and wagons drawn by horses. Old farmers brought up to use ox carts continue to use them, but their sons do not The younger men buy not oxen, but horses, not ox carts, but wagons and horse carts. How much of this change is duo to the fact that the stony, hilly lands are now pretty •well cleared and that oxen are less needed for plowing, how much is duo to the spirit of the age with its quicker movement in all the fields of labor, how much to a greater inclination toward luxury, it might be difficult to say, but the ox cart is passing away. It is still used, however, to some extent It may be met perhaps in the haying field, perhaps under tho spreading elms at the village blacksmith’s shop. The cart met amid such surroundings is quite as likely to have been made in tho city as in the country, for they are all substantially alike. The only important changes that have been made in ox carts in many years have been the substitution of iron for wooden axles and the broadening of the face of the wheel. All ox carts are now built with iron axles and 4 inch tires. New York city built ox carts are sold in western Connecticut, in westeni Massachusetts and in New York, and occasionally in remoter parts of this country. There is a steady demand for them from the planters of the West Indies and of Central and South America. An ox cart costs about $100.—'New I York Sun. A Big Cypress Tree. We started at 8:30 o’clock, determining to take on our way the big cypress ! of Tula, which is so largo that it is worthy to be ranked above tho big trees of California. Wo found it in the inclosure of the parish church. There is no doubt that the latter was built in that place because of the tree, for which the Indians feel great veneration. It is precisely of tho same kind as the trees of Chapultepoc,. but the largest there is enly 40 feet in circumference, while this one is, by recent measurement, 153 feet 4 inches. There is another difference, and a very marked one, and this is the tendency to a flattening of the lower and larger branches and of the peculiar j buttresses which the trunk throws out. In the latter they are almost as fiat as boards, and in tho branches the flatness is that of a wedge. The contrast between these and the upper ones, which are rounded, is very striking. The trunk is not like an ordinary one, but resembles a buttressed wall, so that the two diameters vary enormously. The height must be less than 200 feet, making the app ar:inco in a photogaph almost dwarfish. The spread of the branches from north to south is gigantic. and tho olivet Of light and shade is ! entrancing to the artist. There are colonies of lizards and of various birds in j the different departments of the trunk j and branches, and upon the green dome I of the top were a group of buzzards that croaked without intermission during our whole stay. —Sau Francisco Chronicle. Evidently Mistaken. He was a polite appearing man, with a small leather case in his hand, and when he rang the bell the lady of the house, who was “reddiu up” the parlor, tlid not fear to go to the door, rag around her head and all. “I am selling a small article here,” he began as soon as the period of usual salutation had passed. ‘‘I guess not,” she interrupted “I beg your pardon, ” ho said in a cloud of comprehensivelessness. “I said I guessed not,” she smiled. ‘‘Guessed not what?” ‘‘Guessed you wero not selling a small article licro. ” “But I assure you, madam, I am, j and I have been selling them all over town for a week past,” “I don’t doubt that, but it isn’t any sign you are selling one here, for you are not, nor will you. I don’t know what it is, nor do I want to know, and I wouldn’t want it if 1 did, so good morning,” and she firmly, but gently closed the door in his faoe. “Wonder if that is another one of them language sharps from Boston, ” he soliloquized as he went, down the steps. —Detroit Free Press.

Spcncer*6 Peculiarities. Herbert Spencer, while traveling in England, pounced upon every man in the cars who smoked or who even attempted to smoke out of the windows. “Is it disagreeable to you?” they would ask. “Not at all,” he would reply, ‘ ‘but it is against the law, and the law is a proper one. You have no right to break it, and you shall not do it, and if you do not desist I will call the guard. ” With porter, cabby or steamboat captain ho was ever ready to do battle in the cause of justice, but he had no patience with chronic fault finding. “I used to visit Carlyle,” he said, “but he has got so cross and misanthropic and raves so constantly about the lior-r-rible state of things that I couldn’t stand it. I do not want to argue with him, and I won’t listen to his nonsense, and so I stay away. ”—San Francis?o Argonaut, Dental Electricity, Electricity is "employed nowadays for pulling teetii. To the battery are attached three wires. Two of them have handles at the end, while the third is (attached to the forceps. The patient ^grasps the handles, the electricity is turned on suddenly,, and the dentist simultaneously applies his forceps to the tooth. The iust:mt the tooth is touched it, as well as the surrounding parts, becomes insensible to pain. A jerk, and it is out.—Electricity.
