in all seasons and all kinds of weather, she

her into hole in the earthwOrks and rolled pow

condemned her almost without hearing and SEN
fenced her to be shot. She showed no fear, oue
when she was led out asked the favor that her
eyes might be left free from the usual bandage,
and that she might be allowed herself to give the
word TO fire. This fine spirit so impressed one or
the officers that he interposed and had her life
spared.
For her noble services, she received the Mill
tary medal, and eight other medals for lifesavlng
Yet she had lived for years in poverty and utter
neglect She now comes to public notice through
her application for license to peddlc matches on
the streets of Paris 1t is pleasant to observe that
the license has been granted.
Among the historic figures Of the past that still
exist none is more notable than Marshal Can
robert There has just been made public an
episode in Italian history which sheds new lustre
upon the famous soldiers name, and which shows
how great debt of gratitude is owed to him oy
the House of Savoy. Marshal Canrobert, as Will
he remembered was the first French commander
to lead his troops the frontier upon Italian
territory in the glorious campaign of 1883. both
he and his troops were greatly fatigued by long
forced marches, and reaching the first haltlng-
place Marshal Canrobert threw himself on bed
and went to- sleep, after giving orders for the men
to take rest Scarcely had he closed hy eyes
when an orderly announced the arrival Of King
Victor Emmanuel. who rushed into the room in
state of the greatest excitement, and; seizing

save Turin from the Austrians. They were then
only twenty miles from the Piedmontese capitaE
which possessed no Notifications and only small
garrison. The anguish OF the King was so great
that the French commander consented to open his
sealed orders at once to see whether he could
ply with the formers wishes. Unfortunately, the
instructions distinctly forbade Canrobert to en-
gage the enemy until the other army corps had
Joined him. On hearing this, Victor Emmanuel
burst into tears and besought the French leader
10 violate his instructions and to cover Turin.
Finally Canrobert consented to think the matter
over, and to give the King his answer by four
in the morning. Weighed down by
fatigue, he once dropped of to
sleep but was again reused, this time by
a little man with gold spectacles
This stranger turned out to be Signor Cavour, who
had come to support his Royal masters appeal
This was too much for the Marshals good-nature
who dismissed the statesman summarily. After
mature reflection Canrobert decided to violate his
orders and at o'clock his troops were marching
on Turin, which the Austrians prudently refrained
from attacking.
While ex-King Milan is negotiating loan from
a Russian bank, to staye off his most pressing
creditors, Queen Natalie is concluding four years
lease of the famous Villa Ruiz, at Barritz. This
pIace is the property of the Marquis de GlJalba,
and for twenty years has been one of the most
active centres of political intrigue and agitation
in the country The Marquis de Gijalba himself
entertained there innumerable statesman and po-
litical leaders, including men of all parties. His
great wealth and high social and political rank
made him a delightful host. The villa itself is
situated in the centre OF vast park Of noble old
trees. and is one of the most attractive spots I'M
apinable It will be equally suited to Queen
Natalie's uses, whether She wants rest and re-
tire,nent, or whether she wants to form con.
spiracies and conduct a political campaign.
The report has been widely circulated that
General Boulanger's daughters, who were disin-
herited by him, intend to contest his will Nine
Boulanger and her daughter Helen are about to
40 to Tunis to visit the other daughter, Mime
Driant and it Is said that the three will discuss
the case and decide upon the line Of legal action
to be taken. But according to lie Figaro
there is no foundation for such rumors. General
Boulanger it says, left everything, except few
keepsakes for friends, to his niece Mile Mathilde
Griffith, whom he appointed his universal legatee
One clause Of the will calls upon the generals
daughters to respect their fathers last wishes
"if they wish me to forgive the evil they have
done me-" This, according TO lie Figaro refers

father at Brussels when, hoping to obtain divorce
he asked them to leave their mother and live with
him. I'VE entreat yOu,' they wrote, to reconcile
our respect for our mother with our love for you
but the generals reply to their letter was OF sucl
a nature as to put an end to all Intercourse be
tween father and daughters. 1t is stated that tn,
