fact that he was a manager of the Cen

CoMIE DE fARls' were many sights
From arecent Photograph strange to the
eyes of observant foreigners. One of the
earliest personal incidents narrated in his
history of the civil war is of balloon
trip he made from the Union camp, near
Fairfax, over the opposing lines, which
were very close at that point. The bal.
loon floated above both the Union and
Confederate camps, and the author re.
lates with considerable detail the novel
spectacle spread out before him.
The Confederates, he says, were strag.

ing for their rations, while on the Union
side the troops were under arms and en-.
gagged in drilling or dress parade. OF
the counts headquarters services Gen.
Mcclellan has many good words in his
memoirs. He took the dangerous and
disagreeable things incident to his call
ing rs an aide with the best grace. His
FIST experience in real war in this serv-
ice was had at Yorktown, on the penin-
sua, where he bivouacked for some
weeks under the fire of the enemy's
shells.
When Yorktown was evacuated by
the Confederates he hastened forward in
pursuit with the mounted column and
was one of the first to reach Williams
burg, where the Confederates halted in
retreat and stood at bay. During the
two months that followed, which in
cluded the march up the peninsula and
the battles on the Chickahominy, ending
with the "Seven Days." the soldier
prince was constantly at the front,
where his person became quite well
known to subordinate officers and SOL
diers of the ranks. At the battle of
Gaines Mill, June 81, the three princes
of McClellan's staff, De Joinville, Duke
de Chartres and the count, distinguished
themselves, as the battle was fought at
some distance from the headquarters
and staff duty was arduous and attend
ed with grave dangers.
That battle was one of the hardest of
the war, and it cost Lee within a few
hours 10000 men to dislodge Fitz John
Porter with strength Of only $1,000
against the $4,000 opponents. The hot
test fight was in the center along wood
ed region known as New Cold Harbor,
and here re-enforcements from Frank
Inns corps-Slocum's division-came up
in the nick of time, guided by the French
princes to the most dangerous posts.
The fighting up to this time had been be-
tween the troops of Longstreet and
Whiting on the Confederate side and
Porter on the Union side. What took
place when "Stonewall" Jackson's flank
ing column got to work is described by
the count with the freedom and warmth
of an eye witness. He says:

HIS HONORABLE AND COURAGEOUS
CAREER WITH MCCLELLAN.

On His Coming Visit to the United States
He Will he Warmly Welcomed by Many
Old Comrades-Fitz John Porter's STRAIT
egy at Gaines Mill.
Should the Comte de Paris prolong
his visit to the American states it will
give occasion for some pleasant re-
unions with those of his old camp as
sociates in the Union army who sur
vive at this date. Although he was on
headquarters duty-he served as a
captain and aide-de-camp under the title
of Louis Philippe d'Orleans-he was by
no means carpet knight, but one of the
rough and ready soldiers, who braved
danger and hardships with his American
comrades like yeoman, prince though
he was and king that might be. The
fact that he was student and observer,
as well as a daring man of arms, no
doubt gives a sober hue to the personal
recollections of the war, which he has
published in Europe and America, yet
his observations are so frank and earnest
that, coming from foreigner of rank so
exalted, they have all the interest of the
most stirring narratives.

union in four days session at Wash

event of the session-to use Hibernian-

began. 1t was a banquet at the Riggs
house, at which 200 guests sat down, in
honor of the seventieth birthday of Miss
Susan B. Anthony, and the great sue
cess scored was in inducing the United
States senate to appropriate room fora
committee on woman suffrage.
As there are some fifteen senate COM
mittees that have no room specially as
signed, the ladies were highly elated by
this victory.

was absolutely incorrigible. She would
not put on skirts and become docile and
ladylike; but fished more, hunted more,
rode harder, gambled more recklessly,
and, as she matured, took to drinking and
smoking as readily as possible. When
she became of age she formally re-
nounced parental authority. Seeking
the great cities of Europe she went about
in high hat, tight trousers and cutaway
coat, and plunged madly into dissipation
of all sorts. She fought three duels with
men who reproached her with her sex
and contracted enormous debts.
In Pesth, in order to keep up the farce,
she affected to have become infatuated
with an actress and gave her magnificent
presents. This sort of life increased her
liabilities SO enormously that she had
difficulty in keeping out of prison.
She finally decided that her only es-
cape lay in an advantageous marriage.
She found beautiful young girl named
Marie Engelhardt, the daughter of rich
army contractor named Laybach. Sa-
rolta presented herself as Count Sander
Way, and pretended to be man so skill
fully as to win the love of Marie and the
consent of her father. They were mar
ried and Sarolta pocketed the dowry of
her quasi wife. Her sex was discovered
and great scandal was the result. In
the meantime Marie's fortune was squan-
dered. Sarolta was imprisoned and Ma
rie was taken back to her fathers home.
Something more than month ago
Sarolta was released from prison.
Curiously enough, Fraulein Marie is
full of admiration for Sarolta, speaks OF
her as the grandest of women and is anx-
ious to be her companion through life.

A BOGUS MAN.
The Unique Career of Countess sarolta
Way of Austria.

The Unique Career of Countess sarolta
Way of Austria.
Lying i'll in the house of friend in
Pesth is the Countess Sarolta Way.
Thirty-six years ago Gen. Count La
dislas Way Won Vaya took to himself
wife. He was rich and powerful. When
year after year went by and his good
wife failed to show her appreciation of
the kindness he had done her in marry
ing her by furnishing him with an heir,
the count was naturally annoyed. The
thought that his vast estates were likely
to pass from the family to the crown
finally affected his mind.
Just at this juncture child was born.
But, alas! the child was girl. The
countess was in despair. Finally she de-
cided to rear and dress the infant as
boy and let the count (who was feeble
and apparently travelling the downward
slope of life live and die happy in the
delusion that the name and estates would
be perpetuated by son. The bogus boy
was ostensibly christened Sander, but
her real name was registered as Sarolta.
For fourteen years the girl was care
fully trained to be boyish She was
dressed in trousers; she was taught to
enjoy those sports in which only men
take part-hunting fishing and the like.
In short, she occupied in every way the
position of young Austrian noble, and
moreover, no one suspected less than she
that she was not what she seemed.
When she had passed her fourteenth
birthday an event occurred which upset
all the calculations of her mother. This
event was no more nor less than the az
rival of real boy baby. The good old
countess was nonplused. Finally she
took the only course open to her and con-
fessed TO the count the deception which
had been practiced on him. For the first
time Sarolta learned that her proper

the mercy Of his captors; but the modes
of driving cattle of the present day
have not served to perpetuate this mar.
velous skill.
The boys had often talked over the
proper way to which grizzly should be
lassoed, and the undertaking had
seemed quite feasible. Now that the
chance to make the experiment was Of.
fered they found unexpected difficulty
in carrying out the practical details.
This grizzly bear was clumsy in appear
ance, but very active, repellant of man
ner, and with marked antipathy to
any intrusion upon his privacy He
seemed possessed of fred idea, which
was to gain the broken ground toward
which he was making when he had been
discovered, and he kept pushing toward
it in spite of obstacles.
Apparently he knew what he wanted
and did not care to be bothered. When
his assailants came too near he turned
with agrowl, display of teeth and up
rising of hair that made him seem por-
tentously large.
1t was no easy matter for the cowboys
to get near the animal, for the horses
wanted nothing of him, They snorted,
plunged and backed away; their will
ingness to play acrobatic tricks on their
hind legs was as marked as their I'M
willingness to approach the bear. II
was great fun-a Roman holiday in an
amphitheater infinitely grander than
the Coliseum-but the bear insisted or
choosing his own part, which was by nc
means that of victim.
Several times the holder riders threw
their lassos, but at too long range to be
effective. The bear was growing i'm.
patient and seemed to care less and less
about running away, as he whirled re.
peatedly, facing his pursuers in turn.
Presently Andre Ebel, a Mexican and
a fine rider, forced his horse within
twenty feet of the animal and made a
fine cast OF his long rope. The moose
dropped over the bears head, settled
about his shoulders, and the horse in
stantly braced back to keep che rope
taut.
The boys yelled with delight. "Hur
rah! Hurrah! Andres got him! Quick
Joe, catch him on the other side"
Hi! Look out! Go it, Andre, for your
life! Take care, everybody! The brute's
hostilep
This remarkable change from tone
of jubilation was caused by the un
foreseen behavior of the bear. Instead
of Juggling to get away, he no sooner
felt the rope draw than, with snarline

A direful accident to six men on o
hand car, near East Helena, a short time
ago, was only averted by the intelli-
gence OF dog. A large Newfoundland
dog was in the habit of following the
men on their daily trip down the road,
and, like all dogs, it was ambitious to
keep up with its masters. One evening,
when the men were returning from
work, tho dog took the lead and there
was spirited race. The animal was
only a short distance ahead, and, in
stead OF leaving the track and falling in
the rear, kept going at great speed.
The men never thought of danger till
the car rounded curve and came sud
denly upon long trestle with the dog
no moro than twenty feet ahead. lie
did not realize the danger until he came
to the trestle. The men were horror
stricken and expected to be thrown from
the track and perhaps killed. The in
telligent dog knew the danger instantly.
1t flattened itself between the ties and
the cars passed safely over without ruff
fling hair. 1t was the most remark
able piece of intelligence ever exhibit
ed by dumb animal. 1t could not 60
forward; TO stand still was death to the
dog as we'll as the men. 1t was too late
to jump, so the intelligent animal
