Ancient Sacrifices to the Sea.

The navigators Of antiquity, to whose

is regarded by tradition that dome

so modestly does this once masterful
woman move about the world now, that
her doings scarcely attract attention.
The widow of Napoleon III, chief figure
OF the Second Empire, is allowed to pass
her old age unnoticed, in the seclusion
of an exile's home.
Empress Eugenie has been pretty
nearly everywhere in the course OF her
exciting life: To Egypt. and the opening
of the Suez. Canal; to the Far East; to
the Land of the Midnight Sun; to South
Africa. More than all else, though. she
has had a hand in shaping the destiny of
France. Raised to dazzling heights of
power by her marriage with Napoleon,

PUZZLED OVER SHOCK.

Austin, Tex, Oct. 10.-The my
sterious rumbling noise and quak-
ing of the earth which was heard
and felt throughout this section
yesterday is the subject of much
discussion among the people. In
some localities, particularly in the
eastern part of the comfy, window
easements were ratified and the
trembling of the earth plainly felt,
1t is believed that the noice and
shock were not produced by an ex-
plosion, for if that was the case
news OF such an occurrence would
have reached here before this.
1t is the general opinion that the
phenomenon was a real earthquake,
although it is remarkable that it did
not extend over 4 larger territory.

Senator Culberson will also make
