A Wesrtorfnlly Iiuelncimt Born Mow As. touuhtttC the Luutton FubUe, t It cannot be said of the horse, uf TTnlnn said nf thn nvmkftV. that it. does not talk for fear of being put to worltn Probably the ultimate defrree to which the training of animals may be oarrled Is reached in the oe.se of the talking, horse that literally made its bow to the, public recently at the Crystal palace, says the London Dally News. Mawppa. Is an Arab, educated, so to say, la America, and its extraordinary capaci ty for learning was manifested before an astonished and enthusiastic audi- , In the strict meaning; of the' word the horse does not talk, but is capable of answering questions ad dressed to It It even understands. French or German when it hears it spoken, though it does not apeak these languages, in which It is not lost ac complished than some human beings. -The animal not only appears to think,, butiseapable of expressing itself in telligibly by signs. It ha a special talent for arithmetic. The audience was Invited promls-.l cuonsly to call out a number nf figures, ; which were arranged in rows on a blackboard, and Mateppa, after looking over them, gave the sum of the addi tion by pawing the ground In every, case the exact number of times neces sary to indicate the result. As a mere' trick this would be surprising enough, -but, considering the figures were taken at random from among the audience, ladies and gentlemen, and, in particu lar, eager little boys contributing, col-. lusion seemed out of the question, and Mazeppa's good faith was established by the still more remarkable achieve ment that followed. The horse was directed to count the number of per sons in given rows of the audience, and, having done bo more than once, pro ceeded to indicate the number of women and the number of men in any particular row. Having passed this examination, Msxeppa stood forth to answer any question to which it was possible to give a reply directly, by meanB of a shake of the head, signify ing: either "Yes" or "No," or in figures. Thus the day of the week and the month of the year, or the date of a birthday, revealed to the trainer. Prof. II. H. McGuire, was promptly found by tho horse, any attempt to deceive it meeting always with a decidedly em phatic negative. This astounding en tertainment concluded with an imita tion by Mazeppa of a young man pay ing bis addresses to a young lady. The horse's affectation of tenderness adds a very humorous touch to an excellent piece of pantomime. A FALLEN EMPRESS. Wmk of the Most 8awtfal Ad Its SUMS the World am Kr Kaswn. The ex-Empress Eugenie, who was always the guest of the De Siouchys when she passed through Paris, has been on the occasions that she visits our VUle Lumiere forced to put up at the Hotel Continental like a simple Cook's tourist, where no one recognizes In the lame, old, broken woman the once radiant empress of tho 1 Vouch, says a Paris letter writer. The olden prophecy that used to affright her so, that her fate would be sadder than that of Marie Antoinette, some people think has been realized in her case, as she has outlived all that seemingly makes life worth living. However, luckily for herself, she does not agree with the sentimental theo ries of the outer world, for to an inti mate friend she said the other day: "Although I now drift on a sci of sor row between two coffins" a royally bad metaphor "still I would not change lots with anyone, for I have peen the most radiant and courted of sovereigns." Hhe lives in her pant now, having alienated most of her friends, by her temper and her avarice, 8ho was the curse of her dynasty, the in stigator of the Franco-Prussian war, and the direct cause of the prince im perial's fatal expedition to Zululand, f hither she drove him by her ponurt eusness and ceaseless exaction. Tin) she is unconscious of her own share I4 the ruin of her family la much the bet ter for her; still, when she crawled past us at the Continental the other day all those who recognized her looked with a most certain sorrow at the wreck of the most successful ad,i venturess the world has ever known. CREATURES OF HABIT, TtM Hsnnlts Who Live ha Mm Blft Dswm, Town OOe Jtalldlncs, The hotel hermits are more widely known than the hermits of the big isflkte buildings, but the latter come 14 for a good deal of comment in a desalt tory way, and are apparently proud of their seclusion. There are men in ths big hotels, says the New York Sun, who boast of not having wandered more than two or thpee blocks from the building in yeas. Other hotel hermits, go to their offices every morning, re turn at a certain time in the after noon, and then remain steadfastly in doors until the following day. They pre ' Intimately acquainted with all the goings ou fn the big hostelry which serves them a a home, anil have an active interest in its various departments. The hermits of the of fice buildings sometimes sleep in them, put as a rule they have lodgings some where in the owe wet of the town, where they put In ejght or ten hours out of the twenty-four. But at al) Other hours they are to be found In the big building which serves them as an office, and practically aa a home, A great number of men go to the Equitable building at half-past seven, o'clock in the morning, attend to their office duties, eat breakfast, luncheon and dinner at the restaurant, get shaved and have their boots polisher) in the building, and remain there un ill ten or eleven o'clock every night, After a time the place gets to be a sort of home to them, and what would ixcm to be a hardship to other men rc:'ly became, through habit, a second i;iture to these ipmatea, Any propostf tion to leav ths basiling to fulfill i up snnolntmstH sntalns, at any hour f Mirri tfct f'lfifity A Clubbing Offer, A great many W our reudere Linn county like to tnkt the weekly Oregon Ian.
