It is a mistake to imagine that * superstition is a weakness confined to Heamen or people of feeble and uncultured minds. Men possodsing the strongest intellects have been swayed by almost childish credulity with repard to the supernatural. The great Napoleon wan a firm believer in presentiments. Once,when he wan anxiously awaiting news from hgypt, he hoard that a Nilel KaiU rim * I I U II ai mil c mm llltll HIM crew had been put to death. This boat bore ttie name of I/Itahe. Napoleon was much concerned when lie heard thu hist piece of! news, lie looked upon it as an I omen thai his hopes of anncxinpl Italy to France were to Ue shatt ei od. Nothing would induce bin.' to believe the contrary. "M\ present!rr.ent? n^vor d"ceive me,''1 he said ; "all is ruined ; 1 am sitr- ' 11tied ihar my oonf|ue?? is lost."!

Lapp h*s just returned from the; sieg of Oauzing, and, seeking! JN at,.;:p?.i? pretence, tou.nd him, gazing intently through the window, hi.- eyes fixed upon thei heavens. It was sometime before ' the eroperor noticed the presence' of Repp. when, suddenly sie/ingj him by the arm, ho exclaimed,! "Look-there; up there!" "I soo! nothing but the pule twinkling stars," remarked tho astute aidede ramp quietly. "What!" exclaimed the emperor excitedly, "is i' i ose>ihle that you do not see mv star? The fiery red one almost as large as the moon? It is before you now, and, ah ! how brilliant." Then warming up ati the ight he fairly shrieked as he' cried out: "It has never aban^ doned mo for a single instant.

The astute Bismark was superstitious, the number 13 haying a very deep ineuuiug to him. lie would never sit dowu to table when he made the thirteenth. Count Bismark Bohleu states that one day in 1870 at Kheims, when the chancellor gave a dinner, one of the invitations had to be countermanded, because otherwise there would have been 13 at /I l> t> I- -1 blin muio. UOU. D()J*r, UaZHlllP H envoy, arrived at the German headquarters at Versailles on Friday, Oct. 1, but Bismarck would not see him till the next day, saying he would never dc anything of importance on Friday, much less on a Friday the date of which coincided with the anniversary of Horchkirk, Jena and AuerBtadt. He wan talking one day of a defeat the German? had experienced in the course of the campaign of 1870. "I beg to observe, gentlemen," be said, "that that happened on Friday." Bismarck did not believe in a lucky or unlucky day but he believed that his life wsb seriously influenced by a mystic number. The prosaic Dr. Johnes always counted his steps before entering any place, so as to arrange that his right foot should always precede his left; or, again, touched every post which he palled along a certain route, fearing that if he missed one some misfortune would befall him. Lord Woleseley writes: not only believe in many superstitious, but 1 hug them with the warmest affection. They link me, if not with a spiritual world of which I know nothing, at least with a glorious and artistic and picturesque past of which oistory has told me much. I believe in ghosts and in amulets. I have worn out the rims of several hats sHce I liavo been in Dublin inrough my salutations of single magpies.That mystic bird abounds in Ireland ; and 1 would not on any account walk under a ladder, etc. In fact, I am prone to adopt any superstition I am told ot which others believe in."

Columbia, Mo., Nov. 14.?Col. Ed Butler, millionaire and politician of St. Louis, on trial charged with attempting to bribe Dr. Chapman of the St. Louis board of health in order to influence his voice on the endorRemeut of a garbage contract with the city, has been found guilty by the jury which fixed the punishment at three years in the penitentiary. The verdict, found last night, was announced today. Col. Butler and his wife and his sons, Congessman James J., and KwardJ.,and their wives were in the court room when the verdict was received. All eyes were turned toward Butler. A defiant glance came to his face, his features subsided into the expression of half disgust which he wore while listening to the testimony and arguments. A motiou for a new trial was overruled. When asked by Judge Ilockady if he had any reason to ofTer why sentence should not be passed on him, Edward Butler said: *'1 have nothing to say, your honor, further than that 1 am not guilty of the charge preferred against mo." "The jury has passed on that question, Mr. Butler," was Judge Hockady'a reply. "In accordance with the verdict I sentence you to imprisonment in the State penitentiary for a term of three years." The tiling of an appeal to the State supreme court followed. Judge llockudy fixed Butler's bond at $10,000, which was signed by a number of prominent citizens of Columbia.
