It is said that there was once a formidable mob rioting in the streets of Paris, and carrying devastation wherever they went. One of his [Napoleon's] generals was sent out with a body of infantry to disperse the mob. He read the riot act. They laughed at it. He threatend to fire upon them. They defied him. He opened upon them a fire with blank cartridges. As volley after volley was discharged, and not a man fell, the mob laughed to scorn their impotent efforts. At last the general was compelled to load with real bullets. But by this time the passions of the mob were so excited, and they had become so familiar with the harmless discharge of musketry, that they stood firm when the bullets came. They were gradually prepared for it. A pitched battle was the result.
