FATE OF THE FRENCH ExILEs.
NapOIeonic Followers who Came to
This Country After Waterloo.

From the Philadelphia Times.
In passing through Alabama the atten-
ton of the traveller is diverted to the reni-

called it Demopolis, signfying ''city of the

was the wealthiest man in the colony and
at intervals received remlttances from
France. The source was never known to
the colonists. He had a large orchard and
vineyard and lived as royalty as one can

Raoule, was with Napoleon at Elba and
commanded the advance guard when he
marched INTO France at the beginning of
the Hundred Days. At Demopolis Col
Raoule kept ferry, himself plying the
oars. II was remarked by the rough back
woodsmen that the French ferrvman,'
had fine features" and must have been
"a great man somewhere" In this land Of

The most remarkable thing about Mrs.

is that she Is alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, is more surprised at
this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back
at the day when she stood on the verge of
death and shoulders. She looks ahead at
life of happiness with her children, her hts
band and her home with a JOY that only
mother can realize.
Mrs. Lord Is the mother Of three children,
two Of whom are twins; until the twins
came nothing marred the JOY Of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and for year was unable to attend to the
ordinary duties Of the home. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lord says:

Capt. Barpett arrived at Las Palmas

Capt. Barnett says the torpedo ffotllla

The number of troops at Chickamauga
Park was to-day increased to about 1900.
i Fifteen train loads of infantry, cavalry
and artillery arrived during the day and
were conveyed as rapidly as possible to the
park. where their camping grounds had
been selected for them
With one exception the arrivals to-day

BY sunday ten regiments of infantry,

Tomorrow Maj. Gen. Brooke will make
his headquarters on the field, the location
being on the east slope of Little Hill, and
not far distant from where Gen. Wilder
of the Federal forces was killed during the
battle which gives the park its name.
Quartermaster General Lee will also
make his headquarters at the grounds to-
morrow.
The increased strength of the artillery
companies from four TO six Dieces has
rendered necessary the purchase OF about
500 horses, and this fact is giving Gen.
Lee great deal of trouble. He spent a

SAILORS GRoG GONE.
Gradual Abolition of Drinking Hab-
its in the Navy.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Jack Tar has his notions about how a
ship ought to be launched. There is naval
orthodoxy on the subject. A virgin and
not a married woman should break the
bottle over the bow as the keel kisses the
water. Should there be death in the
pot'--that is, should there be default of
tsllow or hitch in the dogs or ways
or shores" or "cradle"-the omen Is sin
lister. Should she stick fast and not float
before shutdown, then the ship is irredeem-
ably unlucky. She will founder, sink or
be captured.
The phrase and the ding, Dutch cour-
age" suggests an injustice, but also a
fact. 1t is the inheritance, in English
speech, OF the abominable prejudices bred
by the naval wars between commonwealth
and republic and between king and stad-
holder. The British were beaten off
enough by the Dutch to compel respect
and Dutch courage was something else
than recklessness born of the fumes Of al
cohol, says the Independent. Neverthe-
less, il can be shown that the decline of
Dutch sea power ran parallel with the IN
crease Of the use of strong drink through
the importation of oriental and other ais
citations which changed the common
drink from beer to gin and bran
dy. 1t is matter of prosaic
fact that the abolition Of the
grog ration In the British service marked
a tremendous advance in the heaIta
morals and strength Of the entire ser.
vice. In the United States navy the i'm.
provement have been wonderful. II is
rare now TO find under the Stars ana
Stripes any of the floating hels" which
used to disgrace our marine service. In
spite OF the glorious traditions and grand
victories OF the past. we make bold TO
affirm that at no lime in our history uvss
there better body OF sailors under fhe

The civil war cost 100000 lives. OF this
