Tin rliiff feature of tins latest life of that prodigy of ability and administration without conscience is tho attempt to show that Napoleon could not have been the monster of cruelty, passion and selfishness many have painted him. Taino especially in the latter days, and yet at the same time have risen to snch vast power and have left such permanent resnlts the reconstitntion of feudal Kuropn on th modern popular basis as followod his wars and. his peace policies.

Diana of To the Editor or the Brooklyn Kaole: If possible, will yon lot me know something of tho old Sevontioth regiment of Brooklyn, and also of its colonel, Samuel Graham Goabdsoian. Answer Information as to theSoventioth regiment of Brooklyn is very sparse. Captain Neely of that body, it is said, used to draw his forces into line along tho street curb in order to got them straight. Captain Hogan. it is said, had a peculiar method of drilling his men.

For instance, he would say loudly "When I say 'draw' don't you draw. When I say 'draw swords' every mother's Bon of you draw." Captain Neely kept The Alpine in lifht felt, with a black Dana, is Poughkeopsio on the ground that the road had taking the place of the derby.

"Seven" The Soven Dials is the name of a famous locality in London. England, which had its origin in the fact that at the ancient limits of St. Giles' parish there formerly stood a column, railed in, to which seven dials were affixed, one facing each of seven streets which radiated from that point. The National club of Washington city played in tho American association in 1884. "Anxious" English opera was first introduced to the Brooklyn public at the Park theater in 1804.

"Cable" Tho first cars on the Broadway, New York, railroad were run on Monday, Juno 22, 1885.

Bhouldor knots, loops, girdles, jackets, flounces galore and a profusion of ribbons, these aro some of tho characteristics which give little girls such a ruffled appearance. Crepons, crape challios, India silks, choviots. serges and cotton fabrics are the materials iu use. The great stacks of ready made cinzliams show what a demand there is for neat, pretty cotton frocks. Brieht plaids prevail here.

A dainty model shows a skirt attached to a narrow girdle and worn with a white India linon shirt waist, having a narrow, pointed, hand tucked yoke. Tho little jacket of the ginehani is turned away at neck and edged with a wide full ruffie on the shoulders, which tapers in front. A bright red and white plaid, a blue and white or any mixture with considerable white looks best with white shirt waists. Bright tartan plaid cinsr hams aro made up jauntily with short skirts and long waists and very full sleeves with deep cnff.i for girls from 8 to The waists aro trimmed with wide, full revers, with tire fullnoss massed on tho shoulders, tho rovers tapering until quite narrow at the back and front of waist. Other serviceable cotton gowns for girls ore made with yoke, collar, cuffs and belt of plain gingham, tho rest of the dress being of striped or plaid.

The plain portions aro trimmed with rows of white braid. The sleeves, which are full and hang straight from the shoulder, havo onffs that extend moro than half way to the elbow. This is also a good model for a simple cheviot, say a narrow striped brown and cream or a pin head check, with cuffs and yoke of plain coldon brown. There is a great varioty in the soliome of coloring possible in cotton frocks. While the porcelain blues and bright pinks are just as pretty as over, browns, tans, greens and rich plaids prevail.

For girls nuder 7 those are made with a jacket or trimmed with braid to givo the same cfl'oct. Waists aro made rather lonir and are finished with brolettes or the wide bertha frills.
