FALLEN ROYALTY.
The Ex-EnipreM Engenle mud Her
Recent Visit to Parle.
Paris Letter to London Truth.
The Empress Eugenie spent a sad week
with the Duchesse do Mouchy in her new
house near the Hotel des Invalides. She j
was attracted to the scenes of her former
triumphs, went to look at the balcony of
the Ecole ililitairc, where she witnessed
so many reviews in imperial state, was
at Longchamps, St. Cloud, in the Tuil
erics gardens, and everywhere passed
almost unnoticed. Her cousin,
,. de Lesseps, hastened from
Berry to pay her respects to
her. She was 'paid many visits, but
was not in a mood to receive any but
old and valued friends. It is not at all
true that she wants to make peace be
tween her cousin. Prince Napoleon, and
his eldest son, whom she calls her petit
neveu. She was very much agitated in
going over the theatre on which the im
perial drama was played by her and the
'emperor. But her general attitude was
that of a person who through much suf
fering has come almost to be insensible.
' Her complexion is bleached as her hair.
The eyes of pale blue have lost the fac
ulty of lighting up. It would be hard
to say whether they express indifference
to most things or resignation. But
they look as if they had cried so much
that no more tears were left in them.
The empress drove about in a plain
coupe. She was always in black crape
and merino. Her figure has lost all
flexibility, and though the Carlsbad
waters were of service to her, she has
the stiff walk that rheumatism or the
weight of years gives. The outlines of
the shoulders, however, retain some of
their former elegance. As the adherents
of Prince Victor are anxious to organize
an electoral campaign by next year, and
to obtain pecuniary assistance from the
empress, the house of the duchess de
Mouchy was closely watched when she
was there. If the world has not gone
from her, she has lost all taste for it.
The seclusion of Farnborough sometimes
weighs upon her. Nevertheless, she
said she would be glad to return to it
after her continental trip. At Carlsbad
she refused all exceptional honors and
favors, lived quietly at an hotel, and
took her place in a queue at the pump.
Her old vivacity has died out. If it
had not, she woula try to subjugate it,
for she ascribes to her impetuous dispo
sition the culminating error of the empe
ror's reign, and another event for which
she will mourn as long a3 life and con
sciousness remain to her. She has the
generosity to admit the errors of judg
ment into which she was hurried, and
which were attended with disastrous
consequences both for her family and
'for the nation over which, by an as
tounding freak of fortune, she became
the sovereign. The empress still thinks
aloud, and talks often and rapidly of
what is on her mind. She ill bears any
mental tension, unless in religious exer
cises, and has not the resources of
music, embroidery, knitting, or sewing,
which enabled Marie Amelie to beguile
the tedium of a residence at Claremont.
Her infirmity prevents her walking as
much as she wishes. She lives alto
gether at Farnborough in he past and
among objects reminding her. of de
parted glories of the emperor and of her
ill-starred son, of whom she can now
speak withe at falling into paroxysms of
frief. The inner woman is chastened
y affliction, and the outer woman
aided; but she is more interesting, per
haps, than when she had the prestige of
beauty, a throne, and (externally) the
most brilliant court in Europe. I have
heard her compared to Henrietta. Maria,
who also had reason to deplore the im
petuosity of her disposition. That
queen, "however, had a trial in her old
age to which the empress has not been
subject. She lived in France when she
was a discrowned queen and widow in
dire poverty. Her bouse at Bois Colom
bes was in the marshy part of a wind
swept plain, and being too poor " to buy
firewood, she had to stay in bed in win
ter to keep herself warm.
A Destroyer In the Spruce Forest.
Science Monthly.
According to accounts of observations
published in the third bulletin of the en
tomological division of the department
of agriculture, the ravages of the spruce
bud worm (Tortrix fumiferana) have
been extensive and destructive in the
coast forests of Maine west of the Penob
scot river. The damage appears to have
reached only a few miles inland from
the coast, but the belt in which it has
prevailed is marked by extensive masses
of dead woods. The trees are attacked
in the terminal buds, which are eaten
away, and when that is done, the case is
hopeless.
The fatal character of the attack is
owing to tne fact that the spruce puts
forth but few buds, and those mostly at
the end of the twigs, and, when these
are destroyed, it has nothing on which
to sustain the season's life. The attack
is made in June, when the growth is
most lively, and just at the time when
the check upon it can produce the most
serious results. The larches are also at
tacked by a saw fly, but with results
that are not as necessarily fatal as in
the case of the spruce. They are more
liberally provided with buds, some of
which may escape and afford a living
provision of foliage. The larch, more
over, sheds its leaves in the fall, and is
in full foliage before its enemies attack
it. Hence, while the spruee and fir suc
cumb to the first season's assaults, the
larch can endure two vears of them.

WHAT THE DREDGE BRINGS UP.
ITIany Strange Tlilnze Found on the
Bottom of New York Bay.
New York Times.
Sometimes it is a different thing from
mud that the dredge brings up from
the bottom of the bay. Usually it is
mud, however mud and gravel, bits of
rock, and long strings of slime. It 'is
clean mud, however, and the dredger
thinks nothing of plunging feet fore
most into it in search of anything bright
that glitters for a moment in the sun
as the jaws of the scoop are jerked open
above the scow. Close to the docks the
mud is not so clean, but the chances of
finding something valuable are so much
greater that the difference is not taken
into practical consideration. Sometimes
it is a silver dollar that glitters in the
sun and finds a resting place in the scow;
once in a rare while a watch, made use
less by long contact with salt water,
comes to excite in the dredger the blis
tering regret that it cannot be sold or
pawned and quite frequently knives of
strange shape and rusted out of all sem
blance to edged steel join forces with bits
of broken glass, to cut the feet of the
dredger who treads unwarily along the
bottom of the scow. Twice the harbor
dredges have brought up, within the
past year, a bright-bladed knife, show
ing along its point and edge a corroded
stain, as though blood had stuck there.
Once the sharp jaws of the scooj cut off
both feet of a drowned man, and the
tido carried tho body beyond the reach
of grappling hooks. A human hand,
with ene of the fingers bruised as though a
ring had been torn from it by great
force, fell out of the scoop several
months ago. The dredgers thought that
the man from whose arm the hand had
been torn had been led down to a dock
while intoxicated, and robbed and
thrown overboard by the members of a
"gang." It fa a common practice, but
the dredge rarely disturbs the body.
An immense drag-net stret( hed across
the Narrows would catch a multitude of
strange and mysterious things. It
would be a storehouse ten times more
ghastly than a morgue. There is a tra
dition that years ago a murderer was
convicted by a blood-stained knife
brought up in a dredge. " The names
and dates are lacking. Another tradi
tion says that a dredger once brought
up his own runaway daughter from
the bottom of the fiver. A ghastly
bruise on her temple told the story of
her death. The dredger beat his brains
out against the barred door of an insane
asylum two years later. He had lived
sane long enough to murder the man
that ran off with his daughter, and a
merciful court sent him to an asylum
for the insane. A third blood-curdling
tradition is to the effect that a dredger
nursed a grudge against another
dredger for many years, hoping for ven
geance. At length when the enemy got
between the jaws of the scoop to fasten
a loose rivet, the jaws closed on him,
and he was swung out over the water.
Then the dredge went out slowly, and
the last thing that the dredger saw of
earth was the face of his murderer
grinning triumphantly over the edge
of the scow. These traditions have no
facts to make them real, but the dredg
ers believe in them. An old Spanish
proverb savs: "For the character of
the people look in the bottom of the
canal." New York would not find
much of a character in the bed of the
East river, or in the slip adjoining the
mouth of the sewers. When the water
closes over the unlawful deeds done in
the darkness or the night, only the
dredge can bring it back to life. How
many bodies weighted with lead lie in
the mud beneath six fathoms of water,
how many bodies float out to sea,
no man can know. How greatly the
number of discovered dead exceeds the
number of unknown dead reported by
the police can never be estimated.
Other than ghastly things, however,
come up in the dredge. Iown the bay,
a few days ago, a big crab was found in
a copper kettle, and an eel was found
confined in a long-necked bottle, much
too small for him. While still young he
had made the bottle his home, and had
grown so rapidly that he could not get
out. A lizard crawled out of a rusted
musket last summer in Burling-slip, and
a big "bullhead" was found in a rat
trap. A three-foot fhark came up on
the end of a fishing line, and two sting
rays were found dead in a crabber's dip
net. Hammers, hatchets, saws, adzes,
pieces of ship's stoves, pots, kettles, ta
ble dishes, and various articles of ship's
outfitting seem to strew the bottom of
the river. Few of them are of use.
Only the new ones pay the dredger for
his trouble for fishing them out of the
mud in the cow. Those that are of no
value help fill -up the channel again
when the scow is dumping. Some time
in the future they will be dredged up
again, in order that the channel may be
kept clear.i -
Lawyers' Tlorals.
The Century.
A lawyer ought not to sell his services
for the promotion of injustice and
knavery. Swindlers of all types are
aided by lawyers in their depredations
upon society. The mock broker who
operates in Wall street, and strips green
country speculators of their hard-earned
gains by the most nefarious roguery, al
ways has an able lawyer as an accom
plice. The gentleman by whose agency
a nest of these rascals was lately broken
up says: "The great difficulty in stop
ping swindles of this class, is that the
rascals make enough money to be able
to employ the best of legal advice, and
are, moreover, careful to do nothing
which will render them liable to arresl."
This is the testimony of a lawyer, Mr.
Ralph Oakley, of New York. "The best
legal advice' r can be had, then, in New
York city for such purposes. It would
be more difficult to believe this if it
truth were not so often illustrated in the
stupendous frauds and piracies of great
corporations, all of which are carefully
engineered by eminent lawyers. Oar
modern "buccaneers" our brave rail
road wreckers are in constant consulta
tion with distinguished lawyers. ' They
undeniably have "tho best of legal ad
vice" in planning and executing their
bold iniquities.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
Why do we hear so much about dyspep

have it. W hy are so many people talking
about their cwre from this dreadful dis

Co.,S. C, who says, "I have used
Brown's Iron Bitters for dyspepsia with
most favorable results. I believe this
medicine is all that is represented." Dy

weakness, etc., should try It.
Tea-Cop Fortunc-Telllncr.
S.N holas. .
I have a friend who is quite renowned
for her success as a fortune-teller
through her skill in shaking and tapping
a teacup until the grounds or tea-leaves
in the bottom of the tea -cup assume in a
rude way certain shapes or forms repre
senting people, animals and various
other images which she professes to
understand as referring in some way to
the person whose fortune she happens to
be telling at tho time.
I was present once when she told the
fortune of a young lady. The prophecy
and method of making it seemed to me
to be very vague; but the gist of it all
was that in a short time a young gen
tleman of extremely prepossessing ap
pearance would arrive, and exert a
powerful influence on the future pros
pects of the young lady. Wishing to
discover what was in the cup to warrant
such a forecast, I obtained possession of
it without b ing observed. In the bot
tom of the cup I discovered that the
leaves had assumed a form which, with
a little aid of the imagination, might be
accepted as resembling a very spare,
delicate and altogether debilitated
young man.
With the aid of a teaspoon, and using
a few other grounds of leaves that were
lying on the bottom of the cup, I quickly
changed the young man into a disreputa
looking old tramp, with a big bundle on
his back, and accompanied by a ferocious
looking bulldog. Then I awaited the
result. Presently the young lady whose
fortune had been told took up the cup,
with a blush of pleasure, to examine its
contents. The moment she saw the
dreadful figure of the old tramp she
exclamed, "What a horrid old fright! 'j
Then there was a great commotion,
which was only quelled when I acknowl
edged my guilt. But I learned some
thing, which was that with a little
management and a teaspoon pictures
of any kind could be made in a tea cup.
Personality In Handwriting.
The Coun ting-Room.
Persons writing naturally do so with
out thought regarding the peculiar con
struction of J their writing. The hand
operates the pen as it were automati
cally through the sheer force of habit,
by which all the innumerable personali
ties are unconsciously imparted to writ
ing. Learners and forgers think re
specting their writing, and hence, the
more stiff and formal style of their work;
there is wanting the easy, graceful flow
apparent in thoughtless or habitual
writing. Lines show more of nervous
ness and hesitancy while the whole con
struction of the writing is more exact
and form-; and, besides every different
handwriting abounds in wellnigh num
berless habitual peculiarities, of which
the writer himself is unconscious, and
cannot, therefore avoid.
Thus, two other insurmountable diffi
cuties are placed in the way of the
forger: First, to observe and imitate
all the characteristics of the writing he
would imitate; and, second, to note and
avoid all the habitual characteristics of
his own hand. Habit in writing be
comes so fixed and arbitrary (not to
mention the groat artistic skill required
to exactly imitate an unpracticed hand),
that I do not conceive It to be possible
for any one to similate the writing of
another, or to fo dissemble his own
writing, in any considerable quantity,
as to defy detection through a really
skilled expert examination.

The remarkable results which have at
tended the administration of the Vital
izing Treatment of Drs. Starker & Palen,
1109 Girard St., Philadelphia, for chronic
and so-called "incurable diseases," are
without a parallel in medical history.
As dispensers of this new Treatment,
they have, after thirteen years of earnest,
untiring and costly effort to introduce it
to those who need its vitalizing and
health-restoring influences, succeeded in
resting its claims on the basis of facts and
results of so wide and universal a charac
ter facts and results on record, and
open to the closest investigations that
no room for a question remains as to its
marvelous action in restoring the dis
eased to health. If you are a sufferer from
any disease which your physician has
failed to arrest or cure, write to Drs.
Starkey & Palenand they will send you
documents and reports of cases from
which you will be able to decide for your
self as to your chances for relief under
their new Treatment.

The speaker was Mr. William M. Ash

large and intimate acquaintance with
prominent public men here in Washing
ton, renders his opinion of unusual
weight.
"The all-important "question among the
clerks of the various departments, is who
is to go. Ih my opinion there will be very
few changes among the old-time em
ployes who have been here year in and
year-out through several administrations.
The removals will occur among the heads
of departments."
"The sense of distrust which must nec

suppose, detrimental to the proper tran

clerks for business. Some get very blue,
for they have purchased little homes

larious. At the same time I admit that
since residing here, I have not always felt
first-rate. At times I have been greatly
troubled with sharp-shooting pains. One
day irfy right arm and leg would torture
me with pain, there would be great red
ness, heat and swelling of the parts, and
perhaps the next day tke left arm and leg
would be similarly affected. Then again
it would locate in some particular part of
my body and produce a tenderness which
would well-nigh drive me frantic. There
would be weeks at a time that I would be
afflicted with an intermitting kind of
pain that would come on every afternoon
and leave me comparatively free from suf
fering during the balance of the twenty
four hours."
"Of course you consulted the doctors
regarding your difficulty?"
"Consulted them? Well, I should say I
did. Some told me I had neuralgia;
others that 1 had inflammatory rheuma
tism, for which there was no cure."
"But didn't they try to relieve your
miseries?"
"Yes. they vomited and physicedme,
blistered and bled me, plastered and
ojled me, sweat, steamed and everything
but froze me, but without avail."
"But how did yeu finally recover?"'
"I had a friend living in Michigan who
had been afflicted in a similar way and
had been cured. Lie wrote me regarding
his recovery and advised me to try the
remedy which cured him. I procured a
bottle and commenced its use, taking a
tablespoonful after each meal and at bed
time. I had used it about a week when I
noticed a decrease of the soreness of the
joints and a general feeling of relief. I

The lady took it inlearnent and used the Bit-

health. he now laughed at the doctor for his
joke, but he is not o well pleated with it, as it
' cost him a good patient."
Fees of Doctors,
The fee of doctors i at $3.00 a visit
would tax a man for a year, and in med
of a daily vitdt, over $1 000 a year for

gle bottle of Hop Hitters taken in time
would save the 1,090 and all the year's
sickness.
Given up by the Doctors
"Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up .
and at work, and cured by so simple a
remedv?"
"I assure you it is true that he is en
tirely cured, and with nothing but Hop
Bitters, and only ten days ago his doc
tors gave him up and eaid he must die,
