Montreal, Feb. 3.--Inspectors of the
American immigration department are
at present in Montreal for the purpose OF
looking into q scandal that has been cre-
ated by the shipment of young women to

Thtngs Nee Generally Known About lGs-
rongo and Others. y

The most celebrated warhorsc OF the
present century Is unquestionably Napo-
icon's Marcngo. In view of tho many
hundred biographies Of the great captain,
il Is certainly surprising that SD little
should be known with any deyro. of GER
tainty concerning ehis world famous
charger.
To an American visitor to the dethroned
Bonaparte at Chiseihurst in June, 1879,
Louis Napoleon, in "a conversation about
his own horses and the war steeds of the
most illustrious of modern soldiers, said:
"The empcror's fayorite charger was
Marengo, an Arab of good size and style
and almost white. He rode him In his
last battle of Mount st. Jean, where Ma
rengo received his seventh wound. / once
mounted him when youth and but a
short time before the steod died ut the age
of 80. Another favorite warhorse was
named Maria and was used by the emper-
or In many of his hundred battles Her
skeleton is now TO be seen in the ancient
castle Of Ivenach on the Rhine, the prop
erty of the Won Plesscn family. OF the
other 60 or 20 horses owned by Napoleon
and used in battle, perhaps the most fa
nous were AN, Austcrltz, Styrie and
Jaffa He had 10 chargers killed under
him."
The American visitor might have added,
but did not, that Marshal Blucher had 90
shot in battle, while Generals Custer and
Forrest are belicvc to have each lost al
most as many in the brief period of four
years. Maria, or Marie, Is thus described
by Victor Hugo in the words of French
veteran:
hn
the cross / noticed his beast. 1t had its
ears very far apart, deep saddle, fine
head, marked with black star, very
long neck, prominent knees, projecting
fianks, obliquc shoulders and strong
cruppcr. She was little above Is hands
high"
The Hon. Francis Lawley Of London
possesses the picture of white Arab stall
lion, the history of which is well known,
with the inscription i'm French, "Ali, bat
tic charger of Napoleon" He was cap
tured from the mamelukes and presented
to the great captain. On Napoleon down
fall French gentleman purchased Jaffa
and Marengo and conveyed them to his
etsate in England. The tombstone of the
former Is to be seen at Glastonbury In
Kent with this inscription: under this

Napoleon.
The last trumpet call sounded for Ma
rengo in September, 1929, just as he had
completed 36 years After his death his
bones received an honorable place in the
Military institute, as already mentioned.
Another souvenir of the famous steed is
one OF the hoofs made into a snuffbox,
which makes its daily round after dinner
at the Queens guard, in st. James palace,
London. On the silver lid Is the legend:
"Hoof Of Marengo, barb charger of Napo-
leon, ridden by him at Marengo, Auster-
litz, jena Wagram, In the Russian cam.

was wounded in the rear hip at Waterloo,
when his great master was on him in the
hollow road in advance of the French po-
sition. He had been frequently wounded
before in other battles. Our Animal

that by the Dingley bill, which forbids
Americans over 500 worth Of plumber on
returning from Europe she is defrauded
of much Of the precious liberty inherited
from the revolutionary fathers.
So during a recent journey 10 England
Mrs. Sunup laid her plans TO set the wick
ed Republican tariff at defiance. Her plan
was dictated not by any desire 10 de-
fraud, nor by motives Of economy, but
from principle pure and simple, and
noble resentment against oppression. she
was actuated by feelings such as burned
in the breasts OF the aboriginal Boston
ians( Mrs Sunup was herself originally
OF the Bean Eaters" city,, when they
threw certain boxes OF tea into the har-
Dor.
SHE WANTED TEA.
It was on tea the issue OF independence
was originally raised. so Mrs Sunup
decided that Of all things II would be
most desirable to bring through the hated
customs some tea Tea was the test OF
liberty long ago; tea should be the test
to-day. In short. she resolved 10 smuggie
a dozen pounds OF tea into the United
states. ana not one cent Of duty would
she pay. She enjoyed the sense OF the
coming triumph and revelled in the
thought Of telling II all 10 friends as they
would sit together during winter eve
nings around the fragrant nose or the
tea pot.
No mortal was taken into her conf
dence but Mrs. Sunup left Liverpool with
her great design locked up in her breast
she at least. was one woman who could
keep a secret.
When the vessel passed the capes and
was steaming up the bay in sight OF port.
Mrs Sunup retired 10 her stateroom.
Locking the door she proceeded 10 don

proceeded 10 put away into the capacious

age Of good English tea. which she had
hitherto kept concealed In her small
trunk. Replacing her dress over all this
cargo OF tea, she walked steadily on
deck and took her place among the other
and less enlightened passengers.
At last the critical moment came; she
was questioned by tho inspector. her
trunks examined, marked o. X, and she
