the DEGREES which she, Eugenie had herself
issued.
VICTORIA STILL FOLLOWS EUGENE.
The most amazing submission, however, to
the tyranny of fashion exercised by the beauti-
full Spanish cOnsort of Napoleon III was un-
doubtedly that Of Queen Victoria, who still to
this day, almost alone of her sex adheres to
that crnoline which the Empress introduced a

overthrow Of the Empire In fact, the name
of Empress Eugene will always be indssoluby
associated in the eyes of the feminine world
with that of the crinolne.
Queen Victoria has never made any attempt
to dictate fashions and would probably be the
last person in the world to wish that any of her
subjects should model their attire on hers In
fact, it is a question whether she would not
interpret any such eXaggerdtOn of loyalty as
an inlpertinence, partaking of the nature of
caricature. For while her snow white hair her
kind and mOtherly face bearing the trace of
the cares and anXieties of a reign of more than
threescore years and. above all, the extraordi-
nary dignity and majesty of this stout and
short little old lady, impart much distinc-

GENERAL GRANTS LOVE OF HORSES.

HOW HE ENCOURAGED THE ARTIILERYMEN TO
TAKE HOME BAY BET FROM THE WAR.
From The Chicago Inter Ocean.
General Grant said the Colonel was close
observer of men and horses. His eye went over
the horses of artillery company of a cav
airy regiment lighting up with appreciation of
the solderIy quality of horses as well as the
solderly quality of men. After the surrender at
AppomattoX instinctivey his sympathieS went
out to the Confederates who owned and were
attached TO their horses, and one of the first
things he thought of some scheme by which
the men might be permitted to take their horses
home. 1 don't believe there is old cavalry
man that served in the Confederate service but
warmed to General Grant from that minute.
II have always thought that General Grants
influence had much to do with inaugurating the
policy that permitted many of our own cavalry
and artillery to smuSgle home or to pur-
chase at a mere son f1Vorit" horses or company
pets. In / know that he openly
cOuraged the of artillery company to
carry home bay mare that had won a peculiar
reputation. There was not a finer looking mare
In any artillery company than Bay Bet. She
was purchased on her good looks and her spirit
but she had never been harnessed and she would
not work in team. She caused much trouble
that she finally assigned to of the Off
GERS as a riding horse In weeks and months of
service she developed the genuine dramatic bat
tie spirit. She carried herself finely any
horse in the service.
"On one occasion. when good many of the
horses were shot, the captain a last resort
ordered that Bay Bet be put into harness, that
the guns might be dragged to a new position
Every one expected to see trouble. but Bet ac-
Eepted the situation, and whired to the new
line with the mare showing finely she
would in cavalry charge. The boys cheered
and cheered her. and the rebels probably sup
posed that the cheers meant victory some
part Of the line. After that Bay Bet was one of
the most serviceable horses in the company, but
she would never bear a whip.
"She was taken home and for some months
allowed to play about the farm her will.
In the fall it decided to her in plough
ing. She took to the harness well enough, a
little skttish over the plough, but went to work
like old stager. But early in the day the
man driving the team struck her with a whip.
She was furious on the instant and ran away,
dragging the plough and the old farm horse
after her across the field in the style of a cav
airy horse careering to the front, struck a sna z
of a tree projecting from the ground and killed
herself The boys of the company always be-
Geved that Inundated by the whip. she COM
mitted suicide.

dying out those on the other are increasing, and
it is difficult to say on which side the balance
lies.
To those long acquainted with the Park the
changes do not appear extensive. The total sum
Of thermal energy displayed seems to be about
the same as it was twenty-five years ago
Springs die out and others take their places, and
there is a constant change Of this sort going
on. If an observer wished to make out case
parte testimony that the geysers are be-
coming extinct he could easily do With
equal ease he could make out exactly the Op
posite case.
1t is entirely probable that the broad oper-
alton of general causes is on the side of ultimate
extinction of all thermal activity in this region.
The evolution Of the earth is in that direction.
But the process is a very slow one, and the
tourist in the year 2000 will find things in this
region very much as one finds them to-day.
Apart from the geysers and hot springs, the
other scenic attractions remain the same, but
are more accessible than ever before, while the
function of the park a game preserve is
yearly increasing in Importance.

A LITTLE CHILD RUN OVER.
The Wheels of "a Heavy Truck Passes
Over Its Face.

Over Its Face.
Thomsielee Sumerlin, a little 4-year-old
child, was run over yesterday afternoon
at O'Clock and possibly fatally crushed
The accident occurred at the corner of
Huntingdon and Mercer streets, where the
little victim and a brother but a year or SO
older were at play, when a heavy two
horse dray belonging to Solomon Sheftall
and driven by Lisbon Jackson, colored
came down Mercer street, and the child
in some way got under the wheels, which
passed over its face, breaking the jaw in
three places, and inhicting other injuries,
which may result fatally,
No one saw the accident except the other
child, who is too badly upset to tell a CO.
herent story. 1t seems. though, that the
children were crossing the street as the
dray came along, and that Thomsielee was
unable to get out of the way in time. The
dray continued on its way, the driver aft
erward stating that ne did not know that
he had run over the child.
A gentlemen in the vicinity who heard
the cry of the other child went to the
aid of the injured one and took it home
TO its parents, No. 527 Huntingdon street,
JuSt dlouhu lhe corner from Where the
accident happened. After taking the child
home the friend went to the driver and
asked If he knew that he had run over
a baby. The man replied that he did not,
and as he was inclined to be impudent,
he was arrested and taken to the bar
racks, where a charge of reckless driving
was entered against him.

PAINTING THE GUNS GRAY.
Barbettes ON the Fort Will Show But
IndistinctIy.

The garrison at Fort Screven is paint
ing the barbette guns gray. A short while
since orders were received to make that
the color for everything showing above the
parapet. Dark green has been the color
for coast defense guns, though it might
have been thought to be black, for that
was the hue they assumed after a few
cleanings with the oil that is used for
the purpose. The gray is regarded by the
war department as least conspicuous, and
offering the poorest target for an enemy's
feet.
The fort mounts seven barbette rifles,
five of which have shields. The disappear
ing guns are four in number. The mortar
battery has not yet been constructed
though eight of the mortars are in readi-
ness. When they are .emplaced they will
form strong addition to the defensive
strength of the fort.

A Philadelphia fire insurance company

that they may result in another handsome
