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
