The EI-Empress Eugene in Rome.

A correspondent of the New York World
thu describes a recent visit of the Ex-
Empress of France to Rome: 1.-THE En-
pres was to go to the Vatican on a certain
day 10 visit the mosaic factory. She did not
arrive till 1870 o'clock. Not only her man
ner but her appearance was q terrible shock
to me. l have not seen the Empress of
France for over twenty years. She was then
In tie full brilliaucy OF her beauty, q young
wife, a young mother, a young Empress.
Through all these Intervening years of her
grandeur and vicissitudes, l have never lost
the memory of her rare beauty. Whenever
l have thought of her during those lat years,
l have pictured her Us q quiet, handsome,
melancholy widow, digniied and elegant.
But no such agreeable parsonage appeared
the ether day. Shs was dressed quietly
enough, in livery simple, ugly English black
eoI costume. Tbs skirt was cxtr-mely
snort, without fouuce or any other trim

Travelling Two Centuries Ago.

1t was only in fine weather that the whole
breadth of the highway was available for
wheeled vehicles. Often the mud lay deep
on the right and left, and only a narrow
truck of firm ground rose above the quag-
mire. BY the side OF the coach would march
several lusty footmen, with stout poles,
ready to prop it up by main force, or to ex-
tricate it by leverage If it stuck fast. When
the roads got better they went in front to
clear the way for the approaching vehicle.
These attendants on q coach were still re.
tained when il became necessary for them,
through the improvement of the highways,
to run at n sharp pace in order to prevent
tho coach outsti.pping them. A velvet
~jockey-cap, livery-coat, with a silken kilt OF
petticoat, In lieu of the usua femoral in
teeuments, and silk stockings was their
usual attire. In their hand they still held n
long pole, but it was of slighter materials,
and carried on its top q hollow globe, which
unscrewed, and contained in the cavity q
mixture of wine and eggs to recruit them
when fatigued. This pole was the precursor
of the g~old-headed a with which the
modern John Thomas is asmed standing
upon the foot-board. The sign OF the
drumming Footmen " may be yet seen in
Charles Street, Berkeley Square, London.

tune had n long loose jacket, and she wore
O simple English hat OF felt. Her feet we're
trim, and she minced about on her toes and
high heels. But she was painted red, and
white, and black. Her eyes were darkened,
and also the eyebrows and eyelashes, and
you could see the paint on her lips. Then,
upon her head was o reddish-blonde wig.
Why, she wears a peruke!' was the wins
per mon the hidden observers. There
was no mistake about it. You could see the
peruke form in the front hair. This false
hair was waved over the forehead, and ar
ranged in long tresses at the back. Her
head looked like n w~ell-made-up barbers-
block. In her hand she carried a large vel
low a of the coquettish marquese canes
of the days of Louis Quatorze. She carried
it as a caprice, no; as a support for she
played and toyed with it, pointed it at the
pictures and tvirled it about in her hand. 1
did not go into the mosaic factory when she
did but I WAS told she went through the mo-
saics in a few minutes, evidently feeling no
interest in the curious work, and paid little
attention to Baron vis.onti's explanations.
"She seemed preoccup'ol, if one can say
so, with nothing; not bored, but certainly
not interested, full of minauderies. Baron
visconti explained carefully all the curious
maps, although he looked ready to faint
with exhaustion. The Empress hardly list

AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER.

The neighbOrhood of the town of Brews-
ter, n. Y has long been the home of show
men. Howe's and Van Amburg's shows
started from that locality. and thereabouts
many of the animals have been housed
for the winter. This side OF Brewster
there is point in small stream where 1t
runs between the very high and percipi-
tous banks. 1t is on property belonging
to one of the circus men. and once on a
time his hippopotamus, becoming aged.
was turned loose among other stock on
the grounds. One night two men were
In this creek spearng eels. They carried
lantern to guide them. In their prog
ress they came into the gulch, and were
proceeding through it intent on their work
when the light suddenly fell full and
bright upon the huge head of the hippopot-
anus. The animal WAS sitting in tho
stream, its mOnstrous head lifted and its
ewes blinking in the strength of the light.
The devil himself sitting there could not
have been one-haf the shock to these men
as was the hippopotamus--''th behemoth
of Holy Writ
With extraordinary presence of mind
they dropped the lantern, and each taking
bank to himself, proceeded up it at once.
1t was loose bank Of yielding gravel and
sliding clay. and there had been a heavy
rain day or two before, and the soil
gave way with them at every lunge they
made in their agonzed endeavors to reach
the top
There were no remarks of an inelegant
nature made by either one. Whatever
knowledge they NAV have possessed in re-
gard to the genus hippopotamus. or what
ever theory they held on the subject any
way. they kept to themselves, and simply
devoted the time to climbing. Every
nerve. every muscle was devoted to this.
They never once looked behind. They
fought their way up the steep sides with
mad fervor, but they never looked behind.
Once at the top they sped across the
country like the wind, tumbling over the
fences. tearing through the bushes, falling
down and jumping up again, but still 60
ing, going. In the meantime the hippo
potamus, being as fully alarmed as they
were, got up on its feet as soon as possi-
hle and waddled away through the gorge,
its motions being greatly stimulated by
the flying gravel and the general novelty
OF the affair.
1t was very enjoyable occasion to the
eels, and one they never cease to contem-
plate with the liveliest satisfaction.
Whether the two men ever again met
we do not know. but think it hardly like
ly.-Danbury NeWs.
