The lettering Empress Engenie.
Buffalo Courier.

To-day saw that former beauty, the
former Empress of France, entering
her temporary London residence. The
tall, erect and stately figure is bent and
dropping; the queenly air is akin to
that of the mendicant; the fair locks,
in taeir luxuriant wealth of tresses are
white as the driven snow, and thin and
scanty in their appearance; the large,
expressive and animated eyes, half
violet and half blue in recurrent tints,
are gray, watery and leaden-looking;
the oval face is wrinkled and worn by
cruel care, and the blush of beauty is
supplanted by a sepulcharal whiteness.
1t has been my lot to see other queens
in exile, other magnates dethroned,
but no one so strongly arouses sympa-
thetic sorrow as does this widowed,
childless, parentless, isolated ex-em-
press. But one consoling comfort is
hers. 1t is in feeding the hungry, cloth
ing the naked and comforting the
afflicted. Where the poor wear not
their wants on their sleeves, there you
will find the prematurely aged and tot
tering lady, rescuing a social wreck
and holding out hopeful beacon.

Revised Areas of the United States.


The area of the United and the seve-
raj states reported in an extra census
bulletin will necessitate revision of the
corresponding figures given in school
biographies, cyclopedias and other ref
erence books. There is not a single
state or territory whose area in the CEN
sus returns of 1880 is not different from
that previously given. This has result
ed from correcting some errors that
were palpably erroneous-in several in
stances widely different areas of the
same state were current-and of care
fully revising others that were suppos-
ep to be approximately accurate. The
total area of the United States as now
revised is about eight hundred square
miles less than that heretofore fixed.
1t was given in the census of 1870 at
3,026, 594 square miles, exclusive OF the
577 800 square miles of Alaska, and it
is now found to be 3,025, 600. In four
teen states and five territories the re-
vised area is less than the old; in the
rest it is greater. The difference is very
considerable in most cases and is great
in some. The number of square miles
in California is reduced from 18S,9S1 to
15S, 800, in Texas from 274, 352 to $685.
$50, in Tennessee from $500 to 54,-
$50, in South Carolina from $4,000 to
3O,57O, in Pennsylvania from 10000 to
AZ, 215, in Maine from 35 600 to 33 600,
and in New Jersey from $500 to z. S15.
The area of Massachusetts has been in
creased from $500 to 1915 square
miles, New York from AZ 900 to 1910,
Virginia from 3S,34S to 1880, Ken
lucky from 1850 to 40,400, Missouri
from 63, $50 to 69,415, Louisiana from
Al ,346 to 1920, Nevada from 104, 125
to 10000, and Wisconsin from SO, 1924

Whittaker's Ears Again.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The record
of the court martial in the case of Ca
Diet Whitaker will be made public to-
morrow, through the special orders of
the secretary of war. These orders will
set aside the verdict and informalities
in taking evidence, and will release
Whitaker from arrest; at the same
time they will dismiss him from the
military academy on the provision of
section 1925, revised statutes, relating
to the discharge of cadets found de-
ficient in studies. This action in the
case is based on an opinion by Attorney
General Brewster, to whom the secre-
tary of war referred the report of the
judge advocate general, that improper
evidence had been admitted in the
Whitaker trial.
