A Paris correspondent writes: "Of the de-
parture of the Empress all can at present
positively tell you is that not one of the ac-
counts as yet given of it is correct, that
there was great difficulty in getting her
away from the Tuileries, which she did not
leave till rather dangerously late hour on
sunday afternoon, and that Pietri was not
In attendance upon her. Neither was she in
mans clothes, as it is reported, and by many
believed. can tell you also that she had
had a narrow escape, for as she was driving
away in cab into which she got at some dis
tance from the Tuileries, small boy recoe-
nized her, and cried out, "There is the En-.
press" Fortunately no one was at hand to
hear, or the consequences might have been
disagreeable. If the Empress had resigned
her powers into the hands of the Chamber
when news came of MacMahon's disaster
and the Emperor's surrender, l fully be-
lIeve she would have been able to go away as
the Princess Clotilde did, without conceal
ment or molestatiOn. She was not popular,
out neither can it be that she was particularly
obnoxious. But she clung to her Palace with
pardonabe tenacty, after every hope was
gone, and friendly violence had to be used at
last to get her away. She could not make up
her mind to Eer reverse of fortune, and to re-
Inquish the throne she fondy hoped
would be her sons, and her grief and regret
are likely to be great and lasting. Not so
with the Emperor. All accounts here recev-
ell represent him as taking his downfall with
great philosophy"

PHENOMENA AT SEA.-The British shin
Universe was docked yesterday morning a
eleven o'clock, after voyage of forty-two DAYS
from Liverpool. For the past ten days Cap
tain Jones reports very light winds from the
westward. Subsequently, up to the 9th in
slant, had strong breeze from Northeast to
East. On the 18th had very heavy squalI
from the North-noftheast, so strong that no
canvass could stand its fury, and during the
continuance OF which Tor half an hour heavy
shower of rain fell, which contained quauli-
ty OF sand and small shells; some of the sand
and number OF the shells being, after the
conclusion Of the storm, picked up on deck.
Many OF the shells were broken to small frag-
ments upon reaching the deck. Captain
Jones accounts for this phenomena fiom a
water spout having sucked up the sand and
shells and broken them during the storm over
the vessel. After this extraordinary vista
ton they had fair weather. Sapannah Re

1t is real relief to ANYBODY but an an,;
quarry TO get out of such stagnant little cities
as HARLEM and Leyden. They are quite SIM
liar, says recent newspaper correspondent in
both history and appearance, and the dead
past seems TO cleave to every bright tile on
pavement and roof, and to every old elm
lining the streets, and to every curious bridge
spanning the dull and Shiny canals. But at
the Hague you find the past crowded into the
background by the absorbing and busy pres
ent. The streets are fall of life and work.
Some of the shops vie with London and Pals
in splendor and variety, which the blue
blouse OF the laborer and the piles of bales be-
fore the warehouses would indicate that hard
work and the brisk buying and selling of sta
pies play an important part in the life of the
Dutch capital
There is one store in the Hague which sur
passes anything of the kind have ever seen.
1t is De Beers Bazaar. There is almost
nothing that one could wish to buy, from a
child,s toy to diamond, or painting by the
pest Flemish artist, which cannot be found
there. You 90 from one suite of rooms to an
o1nSi "ouueIihS now SO muen beauty, utility
ana diversity could be gathered under one
roof The Japanese and Chinese collections,
the bronzes and Russian leather department,
are particularly note worthy. What is more
as you enter from the street, there is no sim
over the door to indicate what you are going
to- see. thought our cabuan had made a
mistake, for the house had every appearance
OF being private residence. While this was
store, it was more interesting to me than
any museum l had seen in Holland. The
proprietor has been enlarging his premises
from year to year. The choice picture gal
lery has been added only lately. YOU ascend
no flights OF stairs, and the stranger is treated
or only to inspect. 1 knew nothing of the
prices, whether high or low, for my OBJECT was

Recent Publications.

Blackwoods Magazine, for September has
been received. 1t is a capital number, speci-
ally interesting for two articles, namely "War
Letter of Major Corlehardt' and "The Europe
an Hurricane"
The Atlantic Monthly and Our Young Folks
will be found on the booksellers counters.
Mr.. Parton's article on sour Israelitish Breth-
rem, which gives at great length and in liv-
ly manner the results of the authors inquiries
and observations about and among the jews
in this country. DIR. Hedge has an essay ON
Irony" Mrs. Stowe tells another story
through Sam Lawson's lips; Mr.. John Bur-
roughs relates the adventures of trouting ex-
cursiOn; "a German Laudlady" is a sketch
from the life by "H. H." which, we believe
means Miss Helen Hunt; Mr. Justin McCar-
thy contributes very short paper on "Some
English Workmen;" and Mr.. T. b.. Ma ur,
writes of "The New American Polar Expedi-
tions and its Hopes" Perhaps more general
attention will be attracted by Mr.. Wilson's
paper in reply to Judge Black than by any
thing else in the number. 1t is emnently
calm in tone, and strongly in contrast with the
vehement and abusive TRADE which calls it
forth. The first of series of papers -Four
Months with Charles Dickens during his visit
to America, in 1912, by his Secretary" is by

1he San Francisco Bulletin tells pretty
good thing about President Grant: "a tolera.
bly, well-known lawyer of San Francisco visit
ed Washington recently, in the course of &
trip through the eastern States. He put up a
Willard's, and having seen pretty nearly al
the lions there are about the capital, conclud
ed that it would not do to 60 home without
calling on the President. He looked up
Congressional friend whom he knew to be ac
quainted with General Grant, and at once
suggested that he should take him to the
White House and introduce him.
Il want to see the General" said he, "fol
you see, knew him out in California. Oh
course he won't recolect me; but then ]
thought l might just as well see him, now
that am here"
They called a. the White House that eve
ming, and found General Grant disengaoed
and pleased to receive them. Our friend
from San Francisco was introduced, and very
cordially greeted indeed. Anybody from CAL
llOrnla was always heartily welcome to the
House, the General said.
Alter indulging in the usual eommonplaces
the visitor ventured to remark:
Il knew you, General, in California: but
that is some time ago, and of course YOU don't
recollect me-"
well, indeed do not. 1 am somewhat
i-rgetful OF faces, and cannot think now when
it was l saw you'
u did not expect you would, General. but

terry in the winter OF"
"Ah! indeed"
An amused smile fitted over the Presi-
dents countenance, as he said,
"By the way, how is travel on that road
now. Is it as good as it used to be when
was there?"
We'll don't know as there's much change
about it.. l guess it's pretty much the same
as it used to be-"

and rapidly preparing to meet the Prus-
slams, and that the regular troops, Ma

resistance to invasion is a paramount SEN
timent.
Tbosesfrom London report that Verdun

damage has been inflicted, and that the
Empress Eugene by permission of the
