EX-BMPREss EUGENIE's BIRTH.

Apropos of ex-Empress Eugenie's
projected visit to Ireland a London
paper remarks that she is thus Wis.,
iting the home Of her ancestors, she
being descendant of an Irish gen.
tleman."
There is reason to believe that her
Majesty has Irish blood in her veins,
but on the female side she is of
Scottish, not Irish, descent, her
grandfather having been member OF
the ancient and distinguished family
of Kirkpatrick of Closeburn. Henri
de Grivegne of Liege, by his wife,
Antonia Gallegos, had two daughters,
of whom the elder married the Comte
de Lesseps and became the mother OF
Ferdinand de Lesseps of Suez Canal
fame, while the younger married Mr..
Kirkpatrick, who was then United
States Consul at Malaga. The daugh-
ter of Mr.. Kirkpatrick, Donna Maria
Manuela, married Don Cipriano de
Guzman Portocarrero. Conde de
Montijo and Duque de Penavanda,
and was the mother of the ex-Em-
press Eugenie. The Portocarrero
family is now represented by the
Duke of Berwick and Of Alba, whose
grandfather married Donna Maria
Francisco de Sales, the elder sister
of the Empress, who died in 1860,
and the titles of Montijo and Penav-
anda are borne by the Dukes younger
brother.

POILY-BILLY.

Polly's real name was Billy; but
as Billy was a handsome green par
rot, people would call him Polly
Mrs. Hatch, his mistress, used to call
him "Polly-Billy." Mrs. Hatch had
rheumatism so that it was hard for
her to walk much. She taught Billy
good many words.
When Maggie, the maid, was in the
kitchen, she would sometimes fall to
hear the door-bell in the front hall
when it rang. Then Mrs. Hatch,
from the sunny sitting-room, would
call out, There's the bell, Maggie!
And Billy would call after her,
"There's the bell, Maggie!"
Maggie was careless and often
used to drop things. Mrs. Hatch
would hear the crash, and, wondering
what favorite dish had been broken,
would call out, whats happened
now, Maggie?"
This was repeated so many times
that Polly-Billy learned to say these
words. too. Once, when some boys
in the street were playing ball, and
the ball came through the sitting
room window with a great crash OF
glass, Polly-Billy was frightened and
shrieked out at once: What hap
pened now, Maggie? What's hap
pened now, Maggie?"
When Billy was about five years
old, he caught cold, lost his appe-
tite, and became so sick that Mrs.
Hatch was very much worried. She
wanted him to get well as soon as
possible, and so she had him taken
to a bird-store in Boston, as the man
who kept the store knew a great deal
about birds. He promised to take
great care of Billy, and to do every
thing that a good bird-doctor could
to help him get well.
Billy hardly knew at first wheth-
er he liked the store or not. He
was too sick to care much anyway.
But in few days he began to feel
very much better. He missed Mrs.
Hatch and Maggie. But, when the
man put him out in the big front
room, where there were half a dozen
parrots, green and gray, and cocka-
toos and paroquets, and little and big
canaries and finohes and queer lit
tie foreign birds, when Polly-Billy
found a great deal to interest him.
When customers came in the store,
they sometimes talked to him; but
every one called him Polly" and no
one said Billy" at all, or even Polly
Billy"
