FAMOUS SONG.


The Song That Reaches Our Hearts L.
IN my Old Kentucky Home"
BThere is one song in the English Ian
elage that, perhaps, comes closer to the
I sarts of Americans, particularly if
AEey are far from home and kinsmen,
III an any other. That song is MY Old
entuclky Home" The simple, tender
s-tory it tells and its irresistible melody
are familiar to nearly every one. 1t
has been sung by noted singers in every
civilized country on the globe, and has
been eulogized by authors and critics
of classical taste; Yet its author,
Stephen Foster, died unhonored and
unsung, and unconscious of the master
ly work he had wrought. Like nearly
all other great artists, however, Fosters
recompense came after be was dead,
and it is safe to say that MY Old Ken
lucky Home" and its writer's name will
live so long as human sentiment and
love of home endure.
Those Americans who were present at
Patti concert in the Grand opera
house of Paris in the early seventies are,
many of them, old men and women
ROW, but they can still wildly recall
the indescribable scene when the diva
appeared in response to an encore and
sang, as only Patti could sing, this
sweet, simple ballad. 1t was entirely
unexpected, and before they were
aware strong men were weeping and
women were Historically giving vent
to emotions they did not try to control.
At its conclusion the great singer was
literally showered with flowers and
costly gifts. One rich American threw
a roll of bills over the footlights that
was said to contain sum of money up
Ill the thousands. The demonstration
was perhaps the most magnificent ever
accorded a sutton for public favor. )
Apropos of all this, the following
from the Philadelphia Call illustrates
the wonderful charm the song still
holds:
a street singer stopped to sing the
other night in front of a well-known
hotel. He was an old chap. blind of
one eye, and intirp, but gifted with the
remnant of what was once a very sweet
tenor voice. With him as attendant
and guide was his daughter, a child of
sunny Italy, sun-broWned, large-eycd
and attractive in her picturesque garb.
The old fellow sang first that ditty of
the streets: Just Tell Them That You
Saw Me-" provoking little attention.
Then he began to sing in his tremulous,
quavering voice an old favOrite. As
he proceeded the windows of the hotel
were raised one by one and guests
looked out with sympathetic eyes.
Coins showered down to the picturesque
little maid, who circulated about with
her tambourine, collecting Men

THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.
If Grouchy Had Prevented Prussian june
tion with English

ton with English
Napoleon would have won the battle
of Waterloo had Grouchy prevented the
junction of the Prussians with the Eng
fish army, because he would not have had
TO fight two battles at once. Few PEI
sons realize that the so-called battle of
Waterloo was in reality double battle,
somewhat like Jena and Auerstadt.
Napoleon fought one battle at Water
loo against the English. On the arrival
of the Prussians he was forced to 90 in
person toward Planchenhoit and there
fight another battle against the Prus-
sian army, leaving to Ney the conduct of
the troops at Waterloo. 1t is a we'll
known maxim in war that very great
or decisive victory cannot be gained I'M
less one commander makes a serious
blunder, of which the other takes i'm
mediate advantage. 1t is very evident
that the fact of the cmperor's having
to fight two battles at once, instead of
concentrating his attention on one
alone, enormously increased the posi-
bility of a mistake. Moreover, Ma
poleon did not have the able leutenants
of his former campaigns. DessaiX, Klc-
Der, Lannes, and Bessiers were dead,
Massena and Macdonald had taken the
oath of allegiance to the Bourbons, and
Murat had split with the emperor.
Napoleon's personal attention was,
therefore, imperative. To Grouchy
alone all blame must be attributed, for,
had he prevented the union of the
Russians with the English, the en-
peror would have had to fight only one
battle at a time, and could have given
his entire personal attention to that
one battle.
In the second place, Napoleon would
not have been forced to fight with H.
947 men against two armies numbering
about 1875, 000-nearly two to one
against him. He would have had H.
947 good soldiers pitted against a raw,
undisciplined army of 67,661 men under
the duke of Wellington, which was not
only inferior in mere numbers, but far
inferior in morale and experience. The
chances would have been greatly in ia
vor of the French. Then, too. the
French army was commanded by the
acknowledged masters of modern war
fare, whose brilliant successes at
Rivoli, Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena Fried
land, Wagram, the Borodian, and Ores
den had dazzled the whole world. Until
then Napoleon had never been defeated
in any great battle except Leipsic, and
the French were strong in the
confidence of the emperor's success.
Two of the best writer's on the Water
loo campaign-Shaw-Ke and ST.
bourne, both Englishmen--concur in
saying that, had Grouchy kept the
Prussians away, the English army
would have been badly beaten. This
view is also held by the ablest writer %
oil, Mr.. Ropes.-United Service Review.

And There Are Others.

Mr.. Sloper (whose wife is a bicycle
snthusiast)-There you go again, my
dear. Can't you let up on the bicycle
talk; don't you know you are injuring
your chances of going to Heaven, as
well as driving me almost crazy?
Mrs. Sloper (startled) why, what do
you mean, John; is this one of your
sacrilegious jokes?
Mr.. $40 joke at all. Do you sup
pose you will be admitted to the Heaven
ly choir when you can harp only on one
subject, and an internal one at that?-

Raul Kaulowski, the Polish boy of only
eight years, who is court pianist to the
car of Russia. At the close of one OF
his concerts last winter all the women
pushed eagerly to the front in order to
kiss him. The little fellow stood there
gracefully, receiving it all. Finally one
little woman who could not reach him

other to throw him her breastpin. He
