The empress of Austria was one of the
most expert horsewomen of Ilurope and did
noinc of her moat daring riding In Ireland ,
where she used to visit each hunting season
to rldo to the hounds
J M Crennan of IS23 Vlnconnes avenue ,
rhleago , uttended srvcrnl l.unts when the
uniprem was one of the party and saw her
accomplish several reel.less feats of horse
manship.
In the winter of 18S1-S2 nilrabcth was
fitopplng at the estate of the duke of Leices
ter. In County Klldare. This season the
runs had proved better In Kilkenny and the
hounds of Lo-d Ormondo were affording the
followers gteat uport. The empress was In-
% ltcd to a meet In which about 200 of the
best hunters of the county wcro to par
ticipate Among them was a Miss Lan-
grlshc , who wa- reported to bo the most
skillful and daring woman rider In Ireland.
The meet was at the village of Freshford ,
known all over Ireland for Its fox covers
and stiff hunting country , and the finest
mounts In the county wcro out.
Tl.o eniprcES appeared on a black Irish
hunter. The bounds started a fox and went
off on ( i run of twcho miles. Several of
the men who were first after the hounds
had ma''e a hard ride , clearing the fences ,
nnd the women were but n little behind
They had como to a ditch and dike so
h'gh ' that no ono had cleared It successfully
nnd the lenders halted to sco the rest of the
party como up. Now nnd then n daring
norseman with a good animal would make
ijt It , but the most successful succeeded only
In scrambling to the top.
The onion SB and Miss Langrlsho came
down together , knowing that they were
looked on as the ilvnls for superiority Miss
Langrlsbo was slightly In the lead nnd when
within o few hundred feet urged on her
hoi so The animal succeeded in gaining
the top , but Httiinbled on the crest and
rolled over. The empress followed nnd'her
horse cleared the ditch nt a leap. She did
not stop to hear their expressions of ad
miration , however , and , although they fol
lowed an best they could , she was first in
at the death.
The empress always rode the finest horses
she could secure nnd each ccason bought
several while In Ireland. She was moro
popular than the Hngllsh nobility , for she
never desired the homcago due her rank.
She was n frequent guest , too , Mr. Crennan
Bays , at the dinners following the hunts , but
which Mio English nobility refused to at
tend , because of their Informality. She was
an untiring hunter and would attend three
meets a week.

There Is no place where a firmer belief In
dreams and presentiments can bo found than
among Eallormcn of all classes. In this re
spect the Jack tars of our ships of war prove
themselves true ons ot the pea. There .11 e ,
moreover , many well authenticated Instances
In the hlstorj of the naty which nt least af
ford a vivid excuse for the fervid belief in
dreams and portents which Is to be found
In ever > forecastle. Three of thcso stoiles
of sailors' dreams that came tiue arc con
cerned with names famous In our naval
lilstory and are vouched for by witnesses
who cannot be doubted. Ono of the stories
Is to bo found In the diary of ono of the
best known officers of the olden days.
On the 15th of September , 1S12 , Commo
dore \Vllllam Balnbrldge hoisted his pen
nant on board the Constitution , having re
ceived orders to take her with the frigate
Essex , Captain IJuvld Porter , and the sloop
Hornet , Captain James Lawrence , ot , a
crulso against British commerce In the Cast
Indies The Essex wns at that time in
the Delaware , but the Hornet was lu
Boston , and the Constitution and the Hornet
net sailed away together , bound first to
Porto Praya , on St. Jago Island , one of the
Capo do Vcrdes , where the Kssex wns ex
pected to Join them.
The Essex having failed to como In time
the Constitution and the Hornet proceeded
to the coast of Hinzll , nnd on arriving oft
Bahla ( then called San Salvador ) found n
line British -loop of war nt anchor In iht-
liarbor.
For several davs the Yankee cruised oft
this harbor , valnl > btrlvlng to coa\ the
Englishman to como out and meet the Hornet
net , anil while awaiting the Issue of this
coriespondcnce Commodoio Balnbrldge had
a dream that , because of the clearness of
its procession of events , made n very great
Impression upon him so gieat. In fact ,
that ho related It to some of the officers as
sociated with him , and also noted It In his
diary
Ilniu'il I'or n ml Dreamed of It.
If the theory thnt one's waking thoughts
cause the visions of sleep , then this was
such a dream us might naturally have been
expccteil by the commodore , for ho was
looking and hoping for n fight , and he
dreamed that ho was In one. But , as he
said , this was > iot .in ordinary vague
vision , It was a dream in which he plainly
saw a frigate come down the wind In chase
of the Constitution , saw her strive to gain
a raking position and fall , fa\v In detail a
buttlo that ensued , and then , having whipped
her , ho Haw n Loat coming from her to
bring her oIDcers as prisoners to the Con
stitution. As this boat drew near he noted
the Individuals In the stern partlculaily and
was surprised to see sitting where he had
expected the captain of the defeated ship a
man who had notable features and was
dressed In the uniform of a British gen
eral.
eral.Very
Very naturally the events of the days
that followed drove this dream from the
commodore's mind The British captain
In Bahla refused to como out , and as the
Essex was expected to airlvo off Cape Frlo
on any day , Balnbrldge felt obliged to leave
the Home * , to blockade Bahla while he
went down to the cape In the Constitution
to look for Porter.
It was early on the i ornlug of Tuesday ,
December 20 , 1815 , that the Constitution
sailed away on this mission , but before It
was out of sight of Bahla the lookout balled
the deck to say that two sails were seen
well up to windward and bound , apparently ,
for the port the Constitution was leaving.
That was right Interesting news. A
couple of British frigates might bo coming ,
but the commodore was the kind of man
who would stand by until ho learned all
about It.
It was 9 o'clock that the sails were re
ported. At 10 one of them headed for port ,
whllo the other came down the wind for a
look nt the Constitution.
As wns learned later , the bold stranger
was the Java , Captain Lambert , fresh from
port , full manned and with 100 able super
numeraries on board. And from captain to
midshipman , from boatswain to powder
monkey , every soul of them was animated
with that mild contempt which all British
sea fighters felt toward all other sea fight
ers at the latter end of the Napoleonic
w ars.
Trouble HcKlnn.
At 1 50 o'clock , being then half a mile
away , and to the windward , the bold Briton
thought to lun down and rake the Con
stitution , It was n trick that might have
worked with a Frenchman , but not with a
Yankee , and when the maneuver had been
met Batnbrldge opened the battle with a
single gun , and "a general action with
round nnd grnpe then commenced. "
How the two frigates reached to and fro
across the wind ; how their crews , stripped
to the waist , worked over the guns ; how
Balnbridge , in splto of a raking , luffed up
until ho was within pistol range of the
enemy ; how a towering cloud of smoke
fogged them In n cloud that was Illumined
with spurting ( lame and roared like a tor
nado as It rose high In air and sagged away
down the wind ; how the spars of both ships
were poked out of this cloud first on ono
side and then on the other as they reached
and wore ; how a time came when the spars
of but one appeared , and those held aloft
tbo stars and stripes to flutter In the gentle
gale that Is ono of the stlrrlngcst tales
known to Yankee history.
As the fight began Balnbrldge was pacing
the quarter deck , but after a time a musket
ball lodged In his hip and sent him to lean
for support on the frame of the steering
wheel. Then a round shot knocked the
wheel to splinters and drove a copper bolt
Into his thigh. Still ho icmalncd on deck ,
going , now , to the taffrall for support.
And there he stood as his men shot away
the headgear of the enemy. Her foremast
went next nnd then malntopmast. She was
all but helpless now and a little later It
was nt 3 55 o'clock the mlzzenmast swayed
for an Instant to the leo roll ot the ship ,
and then with swish and crash over It went.
The firing ceased. A silence that was
broken only by the walls and shrieks of
the wounded took the place of tbo roar ot
battle. The towering cloud of smoke thinned
and floated away down the wind , revealing
the Java as a worthless hulk , rolling to the
long swell of the southern trades.
A boat "ono of the only two remaining"
was sent to the wreck , and when It came
back It was loaded with officers In gorgeous
uniforms from the beaten ship.
Commodore Balnbrldge , still leaning
on the rail , watched It silently
as It came wobbling over the seas ,
until his eyes fell on the commanding figure
of a man seated to face the Constitution.
Then. grasplog the nrm of o lieutenant who
stood by his side , the commodore pointed to
i the officer In the coming boat nnd said ex-
I cltedly "That Is the Identical officer I saw
lu my dream. "
Nor was that all , for as the commodore re
called tbo whole matter the details of the
battle as he dreamed ot It corresponded
exactly with those of the one just ended.
As the reader will remember the officer
pointed out by Commodore Balnbrldge was
Lieutenant Thomas Hlelop , who had been >
appointed governor of Bombay and was be
ing conveyed to bis post by the Java.
Htounrl'i I'rmoiitliiiriil.
Something akin to this story of the Java
fight Is told ot Captain Charles Stewart
when on the last cruise the Constitution
made In the war of 1S12 , but this Is the story
of what may be called a waklns dream a
presentiment rather than n vision of the
sleeping brain. It was on the 19th of
February , 1S1R , and while the Constitution
was running free enroute from the coast
of Spain toward the Madeira Islands In
search of British ships. It had then been
two months and two days out ot Boston and
had done nothing but capture n couple of
merchant ships. It was right hard luck In
the minds of Its oiflccrs , and the one topic
that engrossed their minds and conversation
was this hard luck.
So It happened that as a number of them
gathered In the sittrboard eniigv ay at
about noon on the IPth and the usual sub
ject was broached , Captain Stewart over
heard what they said. Stopping bcsldo the
group , he said In a way that carried conviction
tion"I assure jou , gentlemen , thai ) before
the sun again rises and sits jou will be en
gaged In battle with the enemy , and It will
not be with a single ship. "
This was nt noon on February 19 , 1S15.
The next day , late In the afternoon , the
British chips Cyane and Levant ) wcro met.
Taken together they were not a fair match
for old Ironsides , but pfuck and persistence
made right good substitutes for metal In
those days , and as night shut down on the
sea at It they went at a range that gave the
short guns all the penetration needed. The
smoke soon hid the ships from each other ,
but as the Constitution forged ahead of one
of the British tblps 'to range up beside the
other the one behind luffed up to cross the
Yankee's ttcrn. The Constitution was
cnUght In chancery , so to speak , and tack
or wear as ho might , ho was sure to catch
a raking fire that would splash his deck
with Yankee blood. But Charles Stewart
wns the man for that or any emergency
alloat , nnd throwing the satis on main nnd
tnlzzen flat aback , be drove the Constitution
stern on until ho bluffed off the exulting
nnglishman that was behind him and raked
him Instead raked him with such slaughter
that surrender soon followed.
People a plenty have been found to speak
of Captain Stewart's belief In presentiments
as "le sioerstltlon , but when his ability
as a sal'orman ' was mentioned , the best of
them took olT their hats In honor of this
achievement.
\V mlNM iirtli'x ImprpMNli Drrntn.
Another story of a sailor's dream relates
to the death of Commodore Ol'ver ' lla/.ntd
Perry As will bo remembered , Peiry went
down ntnonc the Spanish West Indies In
1S19 , to suppress the piracy rampant there.
Ho sailed with the John Adams and the
Nonsuch , while the Constellation wa or
dered to 'ollow some time later. Ho was
obliged first of all to see the cuthorltios
of Venezuela about some depiedatlons com
mitted by their cruisers , and , accordingly ,
he went up the Orinoco 300 miles , to An
gostura. Ho was successful In his mission ,
but It wns accomplished during the heat of
the tropical summer , nnd the cllmato was
moio than Perry could endure. He was
taken with fever on his way down the river ,
and ho died as his ship was arriving at
Poit of Spain , Trinidad.
Meantime the Constellation , Captain A. S.
Wadsworth , was cnrouto to Join Perry at
Trinidad , and on August 24 Captain Wads-
worth had a dream that was most Impres
sive.
sive.He
He seemed to be pacing the quarterdeck
of his ship , and looking at the sea and sky
with admiring eyes , when , with some little
stir , a man came on board at the weather
gangway. Looking In that direction he saw-
that It was Captain Gordon , who , as he
knew , had been dead some years , but Wads-
worth was In no wise disturbed or nston-
Ished at seeing him. After a greeting ,
Gordon said :
"Where are you bound ? "
"I am going out as Perry's captain , " re
plied Wadsworth , "he will hoist his flag
on board at Trinidad. "
"No , " said Gordon , "that you must not
expect to see , for Perry now belongs to my
squadron. Look around nnd you will be
convinced. "
Ho pointed over the side of the ship.
Captain Wadsvvorth looked In the direction
Indicated and saw what appeared to be a
harbor with n town and a fort. The flags
of the ships in port nnd on the fort were
at half mast. Minute guns were firing.
Presently two or three boats came from
behind a man-of-war at anchor In the har
bor. They were filled with ofllcern and the
crews rowed slowly and with muffled oars.
Another boat carrying a band that played a
dead inarch next appeared and after this
still another boat that bore a coffin shrouded
In black and bearing a naval hat and sword.
The coflln was surrounded by officers who
seemed In deep grief. The procession
glided with minute strokes toward the town.
The sound of tolling bells and minute guns
were plainly heard.
At this point of the dream Captain Wads-
worth was awakened and so deep was the
Impression made by It that he did not go
to sleep again that night. In the morning
the dream was described to the other officers
of the ship and a record of It was written
out for future reference.
After a few days Port of Spain was
readied and the John Adams was found at
anchor there. As soon as the Constellation
was anchored a boat came over from the
Adams with an officer , who came to an
nounce the death of Perry , and when he was
questioned about the funeral ho described
the funeral procession In detail precisely
ns Captain Wadsworth had seen It and the
funeral was held on the 24th. It Is but
fair to say that moro than ono version of
this story can bo found In print. Frost's
"Book of the Nnvy" Bays the Constellation
learned of the funeral at St. Thomas , for
Instance. But the stories nil agree In the
Important facts.
Possibly these true stories of the sea may
serve to aid those students ot mental phe
nomena who are Interested In exploring the
mysterious world of dreams.

The correspondent lived In Paris for an ex
tended period on CO fiancs n week and suf
fered small discomfort. Ho was better off
than many , notably than a student In chow-
Utry from Colorado , who had only 50 francs
n month to spend and managed to e\lst on
It. Ills bedroom was n dark close ! tli\t
know no lire and cost him 17 francs n
month His one meal i day -vat had nt n
wine-shop wtcrc cab drivers en' nnd cost
him 1. cents , including n slice of ment , i.onio
vegetables , a pint of Lad wine and a bu of
cheese. In the morning IIP bought himself
n bowl of coffee nnd n piece of bread at a
creamery. He did h'r wn washing , never
entered a cafe , walked wherever he had to
go , enjojed none of the regulation pleas
ures , blmply wore an old blousu and worl.cd
at his chemistry.
Between these two extremes there is nil
possible variety In the expenditure of
Americans In Paris and In their manner of
living. Students In the Latin Quarter will
tell jou that they can get as good n room
as nny one needs , furnished nnd looked
after , for CO iTancs a month , that Is , $10 ,
and quite a tolerable dinner , with fouual
progression from soup to coffee , for 2 francs
or less. The meat served at these Latin
quarter establishments Is not always above
suspicion , but It goes down well enough
with the sauce of gaiety.

There Is no doubt that an excellent dinner
may be had at many places In Paris for
3 francs , while 7 , " francs a monl'h will

large and weir lighted. There Is one just
such room at just such a price in Paris
In which James Russell Lowell used to
live. Robert Louis Stevenson lived in one
on the Hue Racine which cost very much
less. The average dweller on the "left
bank. " artist or student , man or woman ,
will find it necessary to spend about $7.0
a jcar to live decently In Paris. There
nro over 1,000 Americans of this class In
Paris , so for them wo must put down an
annual aggregate expenditure of about
11,000,000.
Illslng now In the scare of those Ameri
cans who have their own "apartments , "
It Is to be noted that rents arc very much
lower here than t'hcy are In New York. A
charming little apartment , three rooms and
kitchen , just back of the Madeleine , can bo
had for only 125 francs a month , furnished.
For larger apartments the rents will range
up to 1,000 francs a month , which amount
will Insure accommodations for a largo
family on ono of the finest avenues.
Anil the cost of unfurnished apartments
Is fldlculousry small compared with what
wV pay In this country. In the new build
ings going up about the Arc de Trlomphe ,
buildings containing the most modern Im
provements , small apartment's of three
rooms and bath may be had for 700 or 800
francs a year , while for 2.000 francs a > ear
an excellent apartment , with six or eight
rooms , may be had In a good part of
Paris. There are probably 2,000 resident
Americans In Paris , people In easy cir
cumstances , who may be put down as
spending J2.000 aplcco each year In the gay
city , and that makes $4,000,000.
The number of Americans In Paris who
rent or own entire houses , hotels they arc
called , Is comparatively Email and the cost
of these hotels , which are built only for
the rich , Is considerable. What It would
cost rer year to keep up an establishment
like that of the late Dr. Rvans on the
avenue Du Dols do Boulogne Is a matter
of pure conjecture. He made his great
fortune out of the French and could afford
to be lavish with It. But even Mr. James
Gordon Bennett Is content to live in an
apartment.
Ilctciitie from Vlnltorn.
Coming now to the great army of Ameri
cans who do not reside in Paris , but visit
It frequently , It Is estimated that 30.000
of thcso pass through Paris every year.
The chief expenses of such persons maybe
bo put down to eating and drinking , sl ° ep-
Ing accommodations , purchases at shop * ,
cabs nnd passing pleasures. A room at
a good hotel may bo bad for $1 or $2 a day ,
cafe nu Inlt In the morning costs 30 cents.
A lunch at ono of the good places costs at
least G francs , usually more. An excellent
dinner for two may be had , say nt Mar-
guery's , if the things are chosen wisely ,
for 20 francs. What a man drinks at cafes
and American bars depends upon himself.
A bock ( glass of beer ) costs 10 cents In
cluding a tip of 2 cents , a mazaqran ( glass
of coffee ) costs 12 cents , Including rho tip ,
sirups and lemonades costs IT , cents without
the tip and American drinks cose American
prices , sometimes a llttlo mor" .
It Is likely that each of these passing
Americans will spend $7 or $8 a day during
their stay In Paris for fool , drink and
bed and that Is but n small part of the
outifay. Cabs at 35 cents a couire. Includ
ing a fi-ccnt tip , or at 2 francs un hour ,
will mount up to 10 franca a day and what
the pleasures will cost and the purclnsea
depends upon the Individual case. It costs
2 or 3 francs to enter each one of the
music halls and It costs a gooJ deal moro
sometimes to get out of them. Scats at
the theater or the opera cost $1 or $2 ,
about the same scale of prices as In New
York , although there are seats to bo had
for 20 cents If one will take them.
Leaving aside purchases at the shops , It Is
safe to say that the average American via-
I Ittng Paris for the pleasure of It and spend
ing only a week or two there , will distribute
his money at the rate of about $20 a day ,
i say JluO a week , for he will spend $10 cx-
I tra on Sunday. And that makes over $7,000-
| 000 a year for the 50,000 transients , If we
I assume that each ono stays n week. And
I purchases In the shops are still to be
i counted.
| It Is hard to estimate the amount of these
purchases , eome spend thousands of dollars ,
others spend very little. One authentic case
came to notice a few weeks ago where a
young lady from New York went Into tru
Malson de Blanc one morning and bought
seven dozen pairs of silk stockings for her-
telf at 20 francs a pair , and the same uum-

Any day In the summer one will see the
Rue do la Palx blocked with carriages , many
of which have brought American ladlcn
hither In search of hats , gowns , cloaks , un
derwear , lace handkerchiefs , etc. Ladles wait
in line In the rooms of these fashionable
providers for the privilege of paying from
f to 10 louls ( the louis Is 71) ) for a hat , and
from 20 to 100 louls for n gown. Some buy
five hats nnd ten gowns ; some Irtiy more ,
sonio less. Many seek what they want In
streets of lower prices , but It Is safe to saj-
that few American ladles go away from
I'arls after a week's stay without leaving
I behind them at least $100 for pretty things
| to wear or carry home. And this outlay
| on their part evens up what the men spend
i for pleasures. Ten million dollars a year
i Is probably not exccsslvo as an estimate f.f
the entire expenses In Paris of our r.0,000
transients , Including purchases at shops.
Ili'ttrr Vnln < * for ( In1 Mcmcj ,
Comparing the cost of living In Paris
with that In other great cities , say Lon
don , New York or Vienna , there Is llttlo
j question that an American will get bot-
I tor value for his money In the French
| capital than In any other , much better
value than he can get In Now York. Hnnta
j are about one-half what they are In New
I York , and lodgings about one-half vhot they
1 are In London. Meals at restaurants nro
| cheaper and better than In arty other city.
One may live at n Paris pension , with a
good room ami excellent meals , for $10
or ? 12 n week , so one can In New York
lor London , but the thing received will not
compare with what one goto In Paris
Gloves In Paris cost Ices thin half what
they do In New York Clothes and boots
made to order cost one-third less , the bar-
i ber who shaves you , If you go to a quiet
' street , charges 7 cents , Including the tip
of 2 cents , against IS cents In New York
without any tip. And BO on with many
things.
Then there are In Paris Inexponslva
amusements without end , cafes with fin *
music every evening , where one has merely
to buy a drink nnd listen , military bands
playing twlco a week In all the public
parks , where a chair costs only 2 cents ,
and every day of the year , especially on
Sundays , tbo wonderful and ever-varied
gaycty of the Champs Elysees and tho.
boulo\ards , which Is ns frro as the air
to cvcr > one. A million dollars would not
buy this In dreary London , or lazy Vienna ,
, or ncrvo shattering New York ; It belong *
I to the genius of the French.
| Summlnc up all these various Items ot
expenditure by the various classes men
tioned , and throwing In something for tnli-
ccllancous expenses , It will be seen that
Americans spend In Paris every year nn
amount of money somewhere In the neigh
borhood of 100,000,000 francH. And this , of
course , represents only the spendlngs nf
Individuals for themselves or their friends ,
II docs not represent the vast amount of
merchandise purchased In Paris every year
by our great Importing houses. Were that
Included wo should find our total mountIng -
Ing up to hundreds ot millions more , So
It Is no wonder , to those who study figures ,
that the Frenchmen have been elnKlni : a
nweeler none to us ot recent weeks. To
lose hundreds of millions on the Spanish
debt Is bad enough , but that Is no reason
for courting the loss of other hundreds
of millions that have come from America ,
So the thrifty merchants of Paris have
reasoned , seeing their profits dwindling , and
have brought pressurn to gag tlio ugly
speaking Paris press which was not a bad
Idea , either , for them or for tls , rlnco , It
must bo owned , If they like our money ,
we also like what they give ug In exchangn
for It.
