THE FUTURE EMPEROR cF

The Young fsince Napoleon Eugene

March, 1896, aai is tharefcre now draw
ing toward the compilation of his eleventh
wear. While sri in arms he was placed
ON the muster rsg~ es,he French t,nperfal
Guards, as 4 private in the regiment; for
as il was intended that he should receive a
military cduc ,ion, and afterwards assume
a uiili.ary command, it was designed as a
compliment TO the army that he should,
at l. 81 uouinally, go through all the
eradatiors of the service. When old
enough to begin to learn the military cx-
ercises, he was put through them with
her yonths o. bis own age, and III this
way he was taught the bayonct and other
drills before he was ei ut years oil.
BY this time, too, he had been made a
commissioned officer Of his regimen
ana hc Is ROW passing step by step through
the various grades coward the rank Of col
oncl. But while special attention has lecL
ei, en- to his military training, h.s cduc alton
as a citizen has not been neg !ectcd. Be
sides the ordinary rudimcnts OF lnstruc-
ton. he has received lessons IN two or
three haudicrat,s, the last of which was
rhe setting up of types in the imperial
printing Office of Paris. The object OF this
oay have been simply t, extend Ms sphere

RaiIroad Accidenf

The telegraph gives the particulars of
a railroad accident which occurred near
Buffalo on the Lake Shore Road, ON the
18th inst. One car was thrown down a
bank thirty feet, caught FIRE aud, horrible
to relate, out of niuety.eighty persons
IN the car only three escaped alive, the
balance were burned alicel Another car.
in which the dead, dying and living were
promiscuously jammed, caught FIRE but
was extinguished before it made much
headway. The day after the accident
fifteen coffins containing fifteen bodies
and seven tores, containing the remains
of twenty Eve persons, were taken to
Buffalo.
These railroad murders are becoming
too commons and for the promotion of safe
ty to lie, laws more stringent in their
natufe should be enacted. The closing
| of this horrible affair says:
| An examination of the track showed
that the disaster could not have been oc
casioned from it and must be referred tt
a defective wheel or axle. The rea
cause will probably never be ascer-
tanned.
