lie Gaulois gives an interesting ac-
very few surviving spectators of the
battle of Waterloo, a widow named
Givron, the Tooth anniversary of whose
birth is about to be celebrated in the
little village of Viesville, Hainault
She relates that on the morning of the
day of the great battle she ran away
from her parents and made her way
through the woods, being curious to
see what was going ON. She was close
to Hougomont when the place was at
tackled by the French troops, and re-
manned in hiding for hours, not daring
to move. The cannonade having d.
minished she ventured toward the
farm, but fled horror stricken at the
sight, the ground, as she expressed it,
being red mud, so drenched was it with
blood. She ran across the fields and
reached the Bots de Plancenoit, where
she fell asleep, worn out by fatigue
and excitement. At dusk she was
awakened by the noise Of horses hoofs
and saw a troop of cavalry, headed by
man Of short stature mounted on 4
curvetting gray horse. He was riding
slowly on, as If in dream, looking
straight ahead and paying no heed to
what went on about him. The girl
learned OH the same evening from her
relatives. when she finally reached
home, that the rider was Napoleon.
Nine. Givron is remarkably active, and
is particularly proud of her eyesight,
which. she declares, is as good as it
was seventy-five years ago. When her
daughter, Marceline. who, as she says,
is only seventy-two. sits down to sew,
her mother threads the needles for her.
The old woman had seven children and
her descendants number ninety-two.

Titled Conyicta in Jail.

A Vienna paper states that few peo-
pie have any idea of the large number
of men and women of noble birth
undergoing penal servitude on the Con-
tinent, says the London Express.
1t estimates that Russian prisons
alone contain 10000 aristocrats, while
there are several thousand noblemen
in the penal establishments Of Italy.
Two Dukes of Notarbartolo are, for
instance, at present undergoing penal
servitude for life in the Italian prison
Of La Maddalena for the brutal MUIR
der of young officer whom they had
swlndled at card playing and who had
threatened to denounce them as card
sharpers.
Among the convicts in q Belgian
prison are Prince Charles de Looz.
Coswarem, who committed q number
Of gigantic frauds and one crime OF
violence, and the Marquis of Varela,
for the murder Of his own mother.
In France there are several hundred
titled aristocrats in prison, and though
no statistics are available regarding
Austria and Germany, the same state
of things is said to exist there, also.

AN ARMY OF EXPERTS.
Will Endeavor to Stamp Out Cattle
Disease in New England.

Boston. Dec. 2.-Seventy-five herds of
cattle, aggregating at least 1900 ami
mails, are now under quarantine in
Massachusetts. Several herds were
quarantined in Vermont yesterday and
in Rhode Island several places have
been found where the disease has ap-
peared. What TO do with all these ami
mails is the question of the hour. The
milk cannot be used, TO allow the ami
mails to live will prolong the presence OF
the disease, and if they are killed the
question arises, what shall be done with
the beef? According TO DR.. Bennett it
was never knowa that the disease was
conveyed to man through the meat, but
certainly there will be prejudice
against it on the market and possibly
some danger from injudicious handling.
Dr. Salmon, head of the United States
bureau of animal industry, will decide
these questions. He is on the way to
Boston and with him, or soon after,
will come an army of veterinary sur
geons. Everything possible is being
done in advance by the local authori.
ties, so that when Dr. Salmon comes he
can see at Il glance what is needed and
go to work without losing any time.
Some provisional plans will he laid be-
fore him by Dr.. Bennett, all worked
out in detail, for his acceptance. modifi-
cation or rejection, but it may be stated
on good authority that whatever is IN
dertaken will be done thoroughly, no
matter what it may cost. and the ex.
perses may have to be borne by the
federal government.

doing vast good for the farmers by
DISCRIMINATING the robbers of their
cornfields. / had long believed that
the crow was not so black as he was
painted, and that for every kernel of
corn he stole he destroyed many grubs
and insects, which would have injured
the crops far more than the bird could
nave done with all Of his depredations.
A sorrier object 1 never saw than
this poor kidnapped baby crow crouch

half-fedged feathers, with large head
and long beak, but he looked so pitiful
that my heart went out to him at once.
We soon had made n bargain. The
boys then ran off with happy faces and
still happier hearts, clutching a few
dimes in their little fists, while l pro.

found pet wrapped in my handker-

him very often. When he saw me an.
