The other day there died and was buried at St. John's Church, at Logan, Hocking County, "a last survivor" of the grand army of Napoleon. His name was Christopher Stanley, and be was born in Alsace in August, 1783, and therefore fell only two months short of one hundred and three years. During the past quarter of a century I met the old hero frequently, and he wat always tall of French enthusiasm, and there was no one but the "great Napoleon' in his estimation. He was a man of considerable culture as well as French enthusiasm, and his description of his campaigns grew eloquent, intermingled with queer French interjections, expletives and parentheses.

He was a typical, veteran of the wars. The thumb and index finger of his right hand were gone. His left elbow had been shattered and his arm was stiff and almost useless. Across his well-outlined forehead was a broad, red scar, a memento of some cuirassier's tempered steel. A crutch and a cane answered for a leg that was gone between the ankle and the knee.

Some years ago, one day when be was particularly communicative, I prevailed on him to tell me the story of his com-palgns. That story was long, and fervid in its descriptions, full of glowing adjectives and French parentheses and ejaculations, which could not be translated. Shorn of a large proportion of its flowers of rhetoric, the story may be thus epitomized: "I became a soldier at fifteen, and was one of the thirty thousand men who went with Napoleon to Egypt, and was one oi the first to enter the city of Malta. I was with my command at the pyramids, and participated in the terrible conflict with the Mamelukes. Thence across the desert and through the Isthmus of Suez to Gaza and Jaffa, and saw the 1,500 put to death for breaking their parole, and helped to annihilate the allied array of 18,000 at Abouklr.

I returned with my command to France and saw him made First Consul. In 1800 we went to Italy, and it was at Marengo that the man of destiny turned defeat into victory. The peace of Amiens gave us a holiday. It was in 1804 that we helped to proclaim him Emperor and saw the preparations made to invade England. But England was spared and Austria punished instead.

I was in the thickest of the fight at Aus-terlitz, and took part in most of the minor engagements that preceded it. I did my hare in bringing Prussia to her knees at Jena in 1806. Taking a little breathing-spell, we again turned our attention to Austria, and ended our triumphant campaign at "Wagram by taking 20,000 prison-era. Three years of preparation and were on the road to the capital of Russia in the memorable campaign of 1812. There were 480,000 of us who went forth to glory.

Less than half that number returned, and the most oi them after being detained as prisoners. I saw them fall by battalions at Smolensk and Borodino, and perish by grand divisions on the retreat from Moscow to Smorgoni. I personally attended the Emperor to France when bade adieu to his soldiers at the latter city. At Lutzen and Butzen I saw him win new victories at the head of a fresh army. I saw the dastard Saxon allies desert at Leipsic, endured the fatigues and dangers of the retreat across the Rhine.

Of 350,000 sodiers who entered Germany, only 70,000 answered roll-call on French soil. On the last day of March, 1814, the allies took Paris, the Emperor abdicated, and was banished to Elba. His old soldieis then waited for his coming again, and in June, 1815, at the head of 120,000 heroes, he met united Europe at Waterloo and lost his empire but not his fame and glory. I was one of the old guard. There is a blank in my memory, and I do not know how I got back to Paris, but I found myself there and learned that my old commander was a prisoner at St.

Helena. Then came the news of his death. I had taken part in fifty engagements, great and small, and had seen men die by the thousand but that death affected me more than all the rest put together." "But you have omitted to tell where you received your wounds? You lost your leg at "Waterloo, of course?" "Strangely enough, during sixteen years of campaign and in fifty battles I never received a wound not even a scratch The Emperor told me often that I bore tharmed life." "But how did you receive all these wounds and scars?" "Amid the security of peace. In 1822, in company with my wife, I emigrated to America. We reached Pittsburgh by stage.

From there we floated down the Ohio on a flat-boat to the mouth of the Muskingum and ascended that river to Zanesville in a canoe. From Zanesville I trundled all my earthly possessions in a wheelbarrow to St. Joseph's, near Somerset, where I bought a farm an settled down. Then began my disasters. My Bldest son was with me in the forest hewing logs for a barn, and by a false stroke of the broad-axe cut off my thumb and finger.

A few years later a vicious horse kicked me in the forehead and left that scar that looks like a saber cut. The next year I fell from a tobacco-house I was helping to raise and broke four ribs and my collar bone. Ten years later I slipped and fell into a thrashing-machine and I had my foot torn off. A few years ago I was on my way to church and my horse ran away, threw me out of the carriage, shattered my elbow and left me with a stiff arm. I am in constant dread of meeting a fatal Had I emained in the grand army of the Emperor, I would feel perfectly safe." The old hero had escaped the hail- storm of death upon a hundred battle-fields, and arrived the accidents of pastoral peace, grappled unsuccessfully at last with the grim conqueror upon his quiet couch, guarded round about by his children and his children's children, whose love and devotion could avail nothing.

And thus passed away another of the few survivors who helped to write that "purple page in the history of Belguim," and saw the future history of Europe turned from a new channel at Waterloo and keep along the sluggish course of reactionary LEWIS EDWARDS, MERCHANT- TAILORS Kev.

A Wonderful Organization. Never in the history of this country has any industrial organization been subjected to such rigid cross-examination at the bar of public opinion as the Knights of Labor. The wonderful power as an organized and disciplined force which' it has developed naturally excites alarm in the minds of those accustomed to regard labor as simply an article of merchandise, subject to the he utless laws of competition regardless of the human rights and liberties involved. Its rapid growth has also been watched with intense interest and some mistrust by an independent public opinion, whose sympathies are invariably with every honorable effort to elevate the condition of the wage-workers but whose fears were aroused by revolutionary methods with which it had been alleged that certain Knights of Labor were identified. The course of the knights has been throughout the test both honorable and The charge that the organization intended any conflict with legitimate enterprise was met by consistent advocacy of the settlement of labor controversies by a tribunal of arbitration, which is in other words, a pledge to abide the verdict of a court representing public opinion.

To the insinuation of Jay Gould that the order taught in secret doctrines riif-ferent from those proclaimed in public, was opposed, the challenge of Mr. Pow-derly to place before the courts their entire secret workings. Local controversies with clergymen have demonstrated that whatever may be the shortcomings of individual members in any locality, the order at large is not in sympathy with nor does it tolerate revolutionary or dishonorable methods.

Our mission cannot be accomplished in a day or generation. Agitation, education and organization are all necessary.

Among the higher duties that should be taught to every local assembly are man's inalienable inheritance and right to a share, for use, of the soil, and that the right to life carries with it the right to a means of living, and that all statutes that obstruct or deny these rights we wrong, unjust and must give way. Every member who has a right to vote is a part of the government of the country, and has a duty to perform, and the proper education necessary to intelligently exercise this free from corrupting influence is another of the higher duties of a local assembly. In short, any action that will advance the cause of humanity, lighten the burden of toil, or elevate the moral condition of mankind, whether incorporated in the constitution or not, is the proper scope and field of operation of a local assembly. To organize a local assembly no less than ten members are required. All charter members must be 18 years of age and upwards male or female white or black of any creed or sect.

The cost of a charter is 816. which includes the official paper of the order and supplies sufficient to start with. For further information, address Frederick Turner, box 834. Philadelphia, Penn. FIVE SCORE AND NINE.

Trade Union. The local assembly is not a mere trade union or beneficial society; it is more and higher. It gathers into one field all branches of honorable toil without regard to nationality, sex, creed or color. Jt is not founded simply to protect one interest or discharge one duty be it ever so great.

"While it retains and fosters all the fraternal characteristics and protection of the trade union, it also, by the multiplied power of union, protects and assists all. It aims to assist members to better their condition morally, socially and financially. It is a business firm, every member an equal partner, as much so as a commercial house or a manufacturing establishment. All members are in duty bound to put in their equal share of time and money. The officers elected must not be expected to -run it" and the rest of the partners do nothing, as in the case of mere societies.

While acknowledging that it is sometimes necessary to enjoin an oppressor, yet strikes should be avoided whenever possible. Strikes at best afford only temporary relief, and members should be educated to depend upon thorough organization co-operation and political action, and through these, the abolition of the wage system. i only 3-4 pound bars.
