Jules Clnrotio's "Waterloo Notos" nro traveling ; oxtcn < < l\ely through the I'loneli papers. He doe not attempt to give another view of the great battle , hut simply presents an admirably exe cuted pen picture of the historic ground as It exists today ! "When at the station of the little vil lage the trainman calls out 'Waterloo1 ! the three syllables sound like a battle- cry. the sinister echo of an old legend. I A side car which wo take at tlio station brings us In fifteen minutes to the pod- .l of the Lion , and stops in front of the museum which was founded bj 1'dward Cotton , n sergeant major of the Seventh Cnglish lluss-ars. The museum is a double-barreled affair. It is an inn on gnc side and an ossuary and curio collection on the other. The old cavalryman collected theioall thobouvo- nirs and i olios of the battle that ho could lay his Imnds upon old rusty baboi'b , Hint guns , shakos , muskets , babrotachos , tot n old uniforms , curiasses bruised o perforated by bullets fragments of let ters , the autographs of Wellington and Bluohor , all that survives the butchery and the glory. There are also a number skulls , tlio heads of heroes exhibited ( heio as if in a museum of anatomy , among which are ninny Anglo-Saxon skulls easily reoognl/ed by their prominent - inent teeth , skulls of soldiers of the Iron Duke , destined to become objects of in terest for passing fools. The English enter piously this sepulchral restaurant. It is their vanity to enrich the museum , and many an English olllcor bequeathed his old uniform to the Cotton collection. "Cotton now lies in the orchard of llongoumont , by the side Captain Blaok- inan who commanded the Coldstream guards on that ISth of , In no under the shelter of the brick wall , and llred upon our troops through the embrasured. The old hussar loft his museum to his niece , who used to toll us all about the battle and the wonderful exploits' of her uncle while recommending tier pickles. Patriotic and practical Jane Cotton died in 18Si. ( "llougoumont , or , if you will , Gou- mont , Htill remains the corner of the battlefield which betus the greatest number ; of traces of the struggle of seventy-eight jears ago. The Ftench attacked the place furiously , scaling the walls and Binashingdovvn the doors. The English lesistcd with an admirable , in- tiopid and llerce determination. Through the loopholes they shot down our men , and they in tuin were slaugh- tot ed from the tops of the walls. Around the manor , in the manor , hoie , there and everywhere wore heaps of dead men. In more than ono place the dead were heaped in such a way as to make them stand in unjipright position. The lire at last devoured tlio manor. The castle and the chapel orumblt-d to pieces in the Humes. But there Htill remains one lit tle Niiatory , with a boll tower that droops like the head of tin old man. The lite stopped tliote , at the foot of a wooden crucifix , and the guides point ( jut this quasi miracle. The crucified j figure is theie just as it was on the day when its thin arms wore stretched above the carnage. The white walls of the little chm oh are covered with names of visitois , English names ; and on the very roof of the vault a c mntry-woman of the Highlnndcrssupported by a ladder , wrote : 'The thistle of Scotland will llourish forever and foi over ! ' "But the things that flourish in the grass over the deep ttench where the dead b idles were pitched are the little yellow and white Mowers of April. They are still there in that great grave , the dead of the 18th of June. Englishmen and Fionchmon mingle their bones there today. It was proposed to disinter them , but the proprietor of the castle at CJjumont would not give his assent. Very properly , the comto do Robiano would not permit the skeletons to bo touched , would not consent to disturb the sloop of tlioso enemies who fratorni/e " i in death" , "And , strange enough , it was this manor that checked the advance of the Kiench army. Instead of cannonading it , .loromo insisted on carrying it by as- Miult , and Wellington , astonished at the importance which our people seemed to attach to that little bpot , bent reinforce ments after reinforcements to the troops defending the position. "Tho old walls of the orchard are still deeply bullet marked , and the old pear trees , or lather a few of them that still remain , carry in their branches many pieces of lead and iron. These trees , that many years ago vvoro numerous , and each knot of whicn contained a bul let , have almost all been torn down by the relic hunters. An old woman crouched against the wall soils some of them today. Before her is spread an assortment of relics , the bric-a-brac of defeat buttons , rusty eagles , broken pistols , pieces of iron , fragments illof bones. Lot it not be supposed for a mo ment that thcbo relics are no * genuine. There is no necessity for fraud. The entii o soil is still' ! nil of fragments that : chance turns up from time to time. Even lust year the rain in the neighbor hood of Plancenoit rooted up the ground around the monument erected there to i the Prussians that were mowed down i the artillery of the c'imto do Lobuu , and the torrent curried along skulls and hones. hones.The The old peasant woman who sold the relics kept eloio to her , enveloped in 10b white handkerchief , a round-shaped ob ject which excited my curiosity. I tibkcd tO bCO it. " 'Ah,1 , she said , 'that is the most valu able piece In mv possession. The Eng lish often wanted to buy it from mo , but my husband would not consent to bell It to the English. I want a good price for it.1 "She untied the handkerchief and a skull appeared with a complete set of white teeth , the skull of tjuite a young { man , a Frenchman , I imagine , judging ' from its construction and the form of the jaw ; and , strange enough , a ball was lodged In the right parietal bone and re mained theie as if set In the bonus that it hud barely porfoi ated without hi cak ing , filling the hole in the head. lend this skull of the hero was for sale and ted bo bargained for ! . " 'She wunts too much for her head , " said my guide , 'hut if you will come buck to the Lion there is a man whom I know theio who has twoheads thtithowill sell ) at a lower price.

ItcuilU of nn UtpcUIUmi Into the Anlnrctlc ' A little more thanti month ngo four trim , Uu CG-iiiri&tcdtllxirks * went Bulling into the harbor of Jinindeo and dropped anchor near the -shore. Their decks were greasy with' Ml , and those who ' chanced : to pass to the windward of them noticed that they emitted a stl ange odor of fish. Tlio ships were the Balaena , tlio Active , the Diana and the Polar Star , just returned fiom a nine months' trip to the Antarctic regions. Fifty years ago Sir .lames Ross.u noted explore ! , mndo an expedition to that part of the globe , and it was owing to the nature of the leport . 'shich he brought back that these four barks started on the cruise. Upon returning from his voyage Ross reported that in a certain part of the Antarctic regions the waters were of a dirty brown color , duo to the ( jrent num ber of largo sized black whulos which , , lay on.its surface. IViss announced that i in liis opinion several ships would be able to procure a cargo of oil there in u very short period of time. The value of the black whale , because of the largo amount of fine whalebone which it yields , was recognl/ed even at that early time , and more than ono linn lost no time in making pro paint ions for tin immediate cruibo. For one reason nnd another , however , all the plans vveie abandoned. Years slipped by. Nothing more was thought of the matter , until about tun months ago when several wealthy Dundee mer chants organi/ed a company and blurted out an expedition purely as a commer cial experiment. The results of the expedition ate told in an interview which a reporter for the Pull Mall Ga votte , London , htm not long since witli Captain Fairvveuther , the commander of the Balaena. "Our voyage tenth , " aid Captain Fairwcathor. ' 'was , taken as a vv'holc , very fair. We were , to be sure , con fronted with adverse- winds , gales and heavy seas , which somewhat loturded our progress , but aside from a little delay wo mot with no serious mishap. Wo reached the Falkland islands , which lie just to the cast of Patagonia , on De cember 8 , and took in a fresh stock of provisions and other necessaries. i i "A few dajs later vso sighted the first iceberg which vvo had s cn. In appear ance it was very dilToiont fiom those a sailor is accustomed to meet in the northern seas. There the bergs ate quite lofty , and shape themselves into a kind of pinnacle toward the top. This berg , how over , wh'ii'h ' , as wo afterwuid discovered , was thoroughly t.v pieul of those in tlio southern seas , was rather low and shaped ijkc a table at tlio top. By December IS ) wo fairly made the ice , and as we steamed t'arefully ' ahead vvo passed several Immense bergs. "Somo of them vtci-e from 100 to 200 feet in height and varied from two to three miles in length. Ono of these bergs was thirty irtiles long. It took us at least six hours tb pass it , and wo vvoro progressing on the ayorago at a late of live knots an hourC" , "Did you see any whales in that re gion ? " intorrirpled-'tho reporter. "No , not a siuglo black Greenland whale , " replied tlio Captain. "Wo bavv hosts of finnei-8 , hbiv'ever , nnd wo fi e- quontly mot .Jfifnchbacks , bottlcnoses and grampuses. Moreover , the water was fairly teeming vvithvsculs. and splen did ones , too.Ve knew that even if wo failed to find any whales wo would got a good cargo.of oil and sealskins/ ' 'On Christmas eve vvo mot the Active and the Diana near the position occupied by Ross fifty years ago. The sea , us lie hud stated , was now of a dark brown hue , due evidently to minnto gelatinous organisms , and we began our search for whales. None of the ships , however , was able to find the slightest trace of ono , und , concluding tlmt further search would bo a mere waste of time , we began to hunt the seal. "Early in the morning six boats weio put forth , each manned by five sailors. ! Each Bailer was armed with a club , und the ollicors in charge of the boats car ried rillcs. "Thoy rowed to the floes , and then it was that they discovered a great differ ence between the seal of the south and the seal of the north. Though the lloes wore covered with seals , and although the men did not approach them with any degree of unusual caution , the seals showed no sign of fear , remaining quietly whoio they were. The warfare begun at once. Bullets wore sent skip ping through the iloos , and these , fol lowed by blows from the olubs , were sufficient to luy the betilb low in HCOIOS. Before the day vvus done no less than 400 bcalH had been captured. "Wo continued the hunt for several days. Tlio dally catch averaged from UOO to 100. By the middle of February vvo had caught iK-tirly 0,000 , head. Dur ing our stay in that section wo caino across three varieties of the animals the sea lions , the sea leopards and the sea bears. The lust of those were ny far the most plentiful. The sou lions were tlio most llorce-looking follows. "They were jet black in color. They > measured from ten to eleven feet in length , und their heads were largo , of an oval shape and blue shade. The heads of the sen leopards were much BinuHor nnd their skins vvoro spotted brown and yellow. The sou bears had furs of u yel 1- lowish white color and they were ulto- gothor of a smaller make , " . tirT < ir n limit. IllwlaV1' ns. portor. "Did yon see ninny of them ?

" LAWYERS ON TOP. A Miijnrltr of the Nott Homo iMrmlirr * of tinloinl Prnfo .lmi. So far as professions or occupations are concerned the lawyorvvlll bo la"gely ill the majority In thi > no\t house of iop- rcsentativ-es. There tire 215 of thorn , nnd theie are six. lawyers who combliu1 their practice ol the legal profession with farming : one ( Pondlutou of Texas ) who does a real estate business , and ono ( ( timfncr of New , leroyl who is also an insurance agent. About a do/en who are engaged in other occupations have studied law und some of them have practiced It. Alligother the luvvvor seems to have the best of It in polities , says the Chicago Herald. There are twenty-seven stockmen , planters , fruit growers und furn.ers , including two or three , of the populist member : ? , and , there uio sixteen business men and mer chants. , Thi'io are thirteen bankers and , KO\oral other members who arc In terested in the business as stockholders. Fourteen membots are manulacttirers. Cornish of Now Jersey makes pianos und organs , and Conn of Indiana manu factures band instruments. The edi tors number eight. Among these is Bortholdt of Missouri , editor of the St. Louis Tribune , a Gorman dully newspaper. John Davis of Kansas edits the Junction City Tribune , und says in his biography Unit "lie has become widely known us tin able und fearless writer on economic subjects. " Thomas Dunn English of Now Jersey , the author of "Ben Bolt , " explains that , while ho Is n grtiduuto of both law and medicine , ho "has mainly pursued authorship und journalism. " Another writer Is John Do Witt Warner of New- York , "who after leaving Cornell col lege in 1872 edited the Ithaca Daily Leuuor for a few months. " Ho vvus afterward a college piofossor , studied law , and while practicing at the bar bus found time to indulge in "historical reseiifches. the results of which have been published.1 His biog raphy volunteers the further informa tion that "ho is the author of several turilT loform publications und mugiuino articles. " Joseph C. llendrix , another Now York member , succeeded Warner us editor ol the Ithucu Lender , and nftor- wtird became a writer on tne Now York Sun. Sun.Seven Seven members are engaged in the lumber business and two , Hurmer und Lilly of Pciinsilvunia , are mine owners. Hiiugon of Wisconsin is a stenographist * , nnd Unities of Now York is uiuilumd uonti actor and builder. Two aio teachers and two civ il engineers. Tin ce of the Pennsylvania member * * , Philips , Stone and Sigley , ate engaged in the oil industry , und the lust ono named is also a bleeder of line horse * . Five seem to have little business aside from polities , for their biogiaphies indicate that they have hold olllco pi otty regu larly. Among these is Jerry Simpson of Kansas , whose last employment I before coming to congiess was as marshal of his homo town , Medicine Lodge. Huinor of Nebraska is a banker and he also''owns and operates a line of creameries. ' ' It is possible that ho may take the place of Miliunun 1 Otis of Kansas , who was a member of the last house. Now York bin twenty lawyers in her delegation , and the Pennsylvania dele , gation has an equal number. Illinois has sixteen , Ohio fifteen , Missouri j twelve , Indiana u.ud Texas eleven apiece , and Kentucky ton. Mississippi's dele ; 'r gation of seven are all lawyers , and of Vhginia's ton congressmen nine are lawyers und ono is a law graduate who devotes himself to farming. The Tennes see delegation of ten also contains -nine lawyers und one fanner who has studied law' . The gieut tigrioultmal state of } Kansas , with all its professions of faith 1 in the "horny-handed sons of toil"sends only two funnel to congtess. Ono of thorn is a republican and the other is a populist. Tinco of the mcinbeis from that state are lawyers , ono is a stock man , and the remaining two are agita tors. A TERROR TO OUTLAWS. / ' ' \ ' A I.oil I Hi ll ll it Tallin AV'lio Took In Snlilli-rliig niul Shimon JIlniBtill a llumon * On the banks of the Pluquomino in St Mill-tin's ptirish , Louisiana , htands a group of magnificent live ouks , and with them two magnolias , now in flower , making the nil * dank with perfume. At the foot of one of the oaks is a smull mound covered with short turf , und at the head n slab of hewn cypi 0-.S plunk , und hero in this lonely spot rests the remains of ono of the bravest of our northern soldiers , says the Philadelphia Times. "Yes , Bah , " said my friend , "ho was the boldest little mail I over knew. Those river parishes were filled with rulHiins , who went in bands killing negroes und robbing till uliko.

Through them ho got authentic informa tion and was down on his enemies when they believed him 100 miles away. For n tlmo a rulllun named Uobart ruled this region , und it vvus his pleas ure to torture and murder the helpless blacks Iu the neighborhood. Finally ho captured ono of Harlo's men. und after brutally ill treating his captive , coolly shot him. Knrlo nt once put two of his bltick guides on the truck of Uobart , und a week after learned that ho was to give an entertainment to n party of Dick Taylor's cavalry at the house of n sugar planter fifty miles south on the Pluqucmlno bayou. Sixty men in live barges started down the bayou ut night and before daylight hid them selves and boats In a swamp. Curio was very poorly.biii danger acted us u stimu lant , und when night came ho vvns eugor for the fiuy.

The door behind - hind Uobart quietly opened and the lit- j tie i ed-haired Scotchman glided to the riillian's chair , a navy revolver in each hand. "I am the d d Yunkeo tailor you wanted to meet , " said Earle. R'ib.ut had not time for an answer , for he was a dead man the next instant , and shooting right and left the lieutenant charged the crowd. No mercy was shown.

He is to have full supervision of the training of Now YorkCential engineers' , and is expected to impart to them the secret of his success , how to get the i gieatest speed out of tin engine without straining the machinery or endangering life. His method is simple and prac- ticnl. He first examines his engine thoioughly. often spending four or live horns minutely examining erory bolt nnd nut. His personal examination as sures him of the condition of his steed und gives him confidence. Then ho 1 { pnllb the throttle wide open nnd icgu- lates the speed v\jth the rovorpo lever. Ho feeds the water slowly , slows down going up grade and runs at top speed down grade or on a level track. | Engineer Hogun's most famous por- formnnco was his fast run with engine 0 ! ) ! ) in May last when he-drew the Em l- pire State express along at the rate lif i 102 * miles tin hour on her IIrot trip , and ' a mile In thirty-two seconds on her second trip , a rate of 1I2A miles an hour.
