French papers sympathetically refer
to the fact that the eX-Empress Eu-
genie recently stopped for a while in
her former imperial residence and was
recognized by a few persons in the
Bots de Boulogne, where she had not
been since the days of the empire. She
was driven in a closed eQuipage over
the boulevard that formerly bore her
name, but now has republican ap-
pellation. The object of her visit to
France was the graduation Of her
grandson. who is a cadet in the Mill
tary Academy at ST. Cyr, which she
wished to attend. This future officer
of the artillery is said to closely re-
semble his father, Prince Louis Napo-

assegais of the Zulus on the banks Of
the ItoytyOsi river in Africa, where he
had Joined a British expedition. Wal

Young Heutenant-is in his nineteenth

time ago referred to in the Sun, might
