A PROPHETIC CARICATURE. A caricature of Napoleon is reproduced in Norwood Nor-wood Young's "The Growth of Napoleon." It was drawn by a schoolmate when Napoleon was a student stu-dent at Brienne. Those were unhappy times for Napoleon. He was a Corsican, and then within his brain there were struggling the germs wh.ich were finally to make him the terror and tho glory of the earth. The cartoon represents him with a severe and determined look upon his 'ace, with both bauds on the top of a musket, resting the butt on the ground. A small figure behind him, an old nicin whose nose nearly reaches his chin, is pulling him back by his wig. It was a significant caricature, for it represented Napoleon exactly. The old world with its methods tried to draw him back, but in vain. He rested on the gun up to 1815, and as in the caricature one foot was pointed one way aud the other the other, so he took in all the earth. No other man waa like him. Probably there never will be another just like him. When Europe had been suffering under tyranny for 1500 years, when much that ahe held to be sacred had become obsolete, much that she held to be right had grown to be indescribably in-describably wrong, Napoleon was sent. In his day he waa called a monster, but really he was sent to overthrow and to redeem and restore Europe so that men could ence more think freely, once more act freely, could begin a reconstruction which would do away with the old tyrannies, and give to man his rights So darkened had Europe become that it needed a bath of blood to wash out its eyes, blood tnd tears, and Napoleon supplied it. It is to be hoped that no other Napolejn will ever be needed to perform such a work.
