Toariat Sat ye It Is Betas Directed of All latereeflas Features. The battlefield at Waterloo, writes an American tourist from Brussels, according to the American Register, Is rapidly being divested of all Its Interesting features. The houses which sheltered men who helped to make history there are being torn down, the roads and “\th& are being obliterated and Boon there trill ba nothing 1 left tn remind one of Napoleon's last stand but the great mound capped by the Waterloo Uon. The museum, where all the battlefield trophies are on view, uniforms, arms, drawings and pictures, was never a pretentious institution, but no visitor failed to look with Interest at the many exhibits behind the glass doors. / This also Is to be dismantled and the articles which have carefully kept for .years will be distributed among the provincial museums of Belgium, where as Individual exhibits they will lose much In value.
