"Reminiscences of the Distinguished
Frenchman of Dueling Fame.

Frenchman of Dueling Fame.
A slender, boyish-loolxing young fell
low, but little over twenty and looking
less; not NOR e than five feet four inches
in height, rosy complexion, merry eyes
and just a suspicion of a light mustache;
dressed in ad mirable taste; quick,
nervous way of talking; speaking En-
glish gramma tically and even idiomatic-
ally, but wit h such an accent that
knowledge of French was almost neces-
sary to understand him-such in 1881
was the young Due de Morny, when he
visited this country for the first and
only time. As the grandson of Queen
Hortense and the son of Napoleon the
Thirds half-brother, mi mister and am
bassador, he was an object of interest;
but as a member of the jury of honor in
the Drayton- Eorrowe scandal far more
interest attaches to his personality.
The young nobleman spent some
weeks in the conventional amusement
Of wealthy tourist-hunting big game in
the far west-but his tastes did not lie
espe, tally in that direction, and he be-
van visiting the different cities. lie
spent only two days in Louisville and
made few if any acquaintance here,
but when he reached New Orleans the
French idea and mode of life in vogue
there delighted him and he remained in
that city several weeks He echoed
Thackeray's words of praise of southern
hospitality: and another thing southern

ence here if man he a duke? In Eu-
rope it is not like here. A title gives
privileges. You can cut up as you please

my valet Why then in some places did

The consequences of the Prince Inn
perial's death he estimated justly. He
said that all the hopes of the party died
with him. The son of Eugene, he
thought, would have been emperor of
France had he lived ten years longer,
but no other member of the family
wonld be received as a ruler by the
French people. In view of De Mornys
subsequent career one remark of his is
noteworthy. Ills death alters my life, :"
he said. Il would like to enter the
diplomatic service of my country, but
the only future for me would be with
Bonaparte on the throne. What is left
for me except to enjoy life?"
And De Morny has doubtless enjoyed
life, though not in the way that those
who knew the bright young fellow
here would like to see. - Louisville

accompanied by a vast pack of oogs Of

CUTTING POWER OF RIVERS.
Streams That Hew Their Channel In Solid
Rock. es&Ea

Streams That Hew Their Channel In Solid
Rock. eAsa
We frequently see statements and es-
Inmates of the amount of sand and mud
that is annually carried into the ocean
10y the great rivers of the world. No
one who has seen a suddenly-formed
rain torrent cut a deep channel in a
roadway can doubt the power of water
to wear away the features of the globe,
In fact it has been estimated that in
about six million years, if the present
rate of denudation be continued, the
whole surface of the earth will be
smoothed off To one general level
But while it is easy to see how river
and its tributaries can rapidly cut their
way through ordinary soil and sand, it
is more difficult to conceive the remark
able effects produced by water which
runs over a bed of solid rock. The Col
orado River, for instance, flowing be-
tween lofty walls of rock and upon a
rocky bottom, is still deepening its
channel.
The explanation of the cutting power
of the water of the Colorado lies, as the
Rev. DIR. Hutchinson, the geologist, has
pointed out, in the fact that it is charged
with sand, brought to it in great guam
titles by its tributaries. This sand, be-
ing swept down the steep gradients of
the river, wears away the rocky bed as
emery dust wears stone
Thus nature assists nature on all
sides. and the sand that frost and wind
and water have formed out of the ex-
posed rock of the mountains becomes,
In turn. an instrument for channelling
and wearing away the better protected
rock of the valleys beneath. Youths
