[Footnote 7: In No. CXLIII. of the _United Service Journal_, Sir Thomas Ussher has given an interesting account of the embarkation and conveyance of Napoleon from Frejus to Elba, in which we find the following passage:--"On arriving alongside, I immediately went up the side to receive the Emperor on the quarter-deck. He took his hat off, and bowed to the officers who were assembled on the deck. He then immediately went forward to the forecastle amongst the people, and I found him there talking to some of the men, conversing with those among them who understood a little French."] [Footnote 8: In another part of the same article, in the _United Service Journal_, Sir Thomas Ussher says--"This evening a small trading vessel passed near us, I ordered her to be examined; and as Napoleon was anxious to know the news, I desired the Captain to be sent on board. Napoleon was on the quarter-deck--he had a great coat and round hat on." At another place, after their arrival at Elba--"At eight, the Emperor asked me for a boat, as he intended taking a walk on the opposite side of the bay. He wore a great coat and a round hat."] EPIGRAMS. "Buonaparte was certainly, as Sir John Carr called him, a 'splendid scoundrel,' but he was a scoundrel still."--_Daily Paper._ Not so, for if a scoundrel--doubt who will-- Napoleon was a scoundrel, _never_ still! _Scene_--OUTSIDE OF THE GREYHOUND INN. "You'll take a glass of ale or so? Here's _double X_ upon the door;" "Is there," says John, "then I don't go-- It so reminds me of _a score_!" THE MALADY OF DEBT. Some people often have, they say, What's call'd the "Maladie de pays"-- But Schneider of his customers was saying, _They_ had the malady _of never paying_. C. H. W. PASSIONATE PEOPLE. "So you will fly out! Why can't you be cool like me? What good can passion do? Passion's of no use, you impudent, obstinate, overbearing reprobate."--_Sir Anthony Absolute._
