Bound, vi Paria, Specisl Letter to the Sentinel. Losaosr, England. The little kingdon of Belgium, is said to be the most densely populated country in the world, there being an average of Ter 500 inhabitant! to the square mile. It also claims to have more miles of railway for its territory than any other couatrr. The language moat generally used is Hrench, although Flemish Is still largely scoken amonz the masses. The nation is Brussels being especially noted for its laces and its carpets. BRUSSELS, "THE BASIS IK SII5IATXJBE." Bruneis or VBruz-llea" the Capital of Belgium, is situated in the Prevince of North Brabant, and is a beautiful city of some half a mil lion inhabitants. It is a charming place ,nd is well described as "Paris in minia ture" and like the latter, is largely given Ter to noisy eayety and "sounds of revelrv by nlebt." My hotel the "Hotel de Iiellevue" is splendidly situated in the "Place Koyale," adjoining the King's Palace and the Park, and facing the handsome bronze statue of the Great Crnsider, -Godfrey of Bouillon. In sight is the Palace of the Count of Flayers, the old ' Palaoe of the Prince of Orange and the "Palais de la Nation" the place of meeting sf the Belgiam Parliament. Two or thrae blocks distant is the nsw Palace of Justice, tbe finest public building in .TttTOpe, and after our own capitol at Wash ington, the handsomest structure I have Ter seen. It was only completed in 1333 - and cost the Government ten millions of dollars. The "Musee." which Is only i lew steps from the hotel, comprises an ex cell en t picture gallery, a museum of modern intention a gallery of natural history and mineralogy, and the Royal library of 300,000 volumes. The old part of the city, or Lower Town, is the residence of the poorer classes, and is an interesting place to the stranger with, its picturesque -aid Brabantian houses and its narrow. Winding streets. The principal buildings here are the imposing "Hotel de Ville," or 9ity 11 an, and the old "Cathedral of St. Sudale." In the chapel of the Cathedra several sacred wafers ara carefully guarded, Which tradition says were at one time sac religiously stolen on Good Friday by Jews, who stabbed them irreverently with their knives when blood gushed forth all over them. As a result of this ridiculous charge many innocent Jews were put to death by the enraged and ignorant inhabitants. -ppoaite tbe Hotel da Ville stands an old house known as the "Maison du Roi,' where it is claimed the great Charles tbe Fifth siened his abdication, and from front window of which tbe bloody Duke of Alva witnessed the execution of the pa ttiota Ljjmont and Hoorn. The ancient "Porte de HaL" or City Gate, once a prison. is now med as a museum of antiqaities ana earjy weapons and armor. PECULIAR STREET CARS, FOCirTAIS, ETC. I have observed in Brussels peculiar fact in connection with the street cars, that I have never se?n any where else, and that is that each car is di vided in half and one part devoted to firstclass passengers and toe other to secondclass. This is after the manner of all European railways, but I have never seen it used on street railroads before. There i a regular line of street cars here, run by electrical power, which seems to give good satisfaction. I tried it and found it apparently working all right, I had almost forgotten to mention the famous 21annakin" fountain, one of tbe ehief sights of Brussels. This ancient and elebratcd little bronze atatue is somewhat peculiarly if cot immodestly constructed, but It is regarded with the greatest reverence and afiection by the -citizens of Brussels. They look upon it with almost as much veneration as aid the Jews the Ark before which David danced, and on j important fete days it is dressed up in a uniform and gaily and gorgeously decorated. Three miles from the city is Xaeken, where the King has a palace, Which formerly belonged to Napoleon, who presemted it to the Empress Josewhine. The new church at Laeken is the burial place of the Belgian royal tidily, and Urne. Malibran, the great singer, Is buried In the adjoining cemetery. VTATIBLOO, TSI WORLD BEVSWHED BATTLE FIELD. The excursion to Waterloo is one which, of cocrse, every visitor to Brussels makes, and I spent an entire day in wandering over this celebrated battlefield visiting the various points of historical interest. My snide was an old soldier who fought upon Hie side of France in the great battle, and lie became wrought up to the highest pitch as he thrillingly narrated the exciting events of the terrible conflict. I could not help sharing somewhat in his enthusiasm aa I itood npnn thö historic ground where the fate of Europe was decided, and listened to his vivid description of the devoted heroism of the noble ' Old Guard that died but never surrendered," and the gallant stand made by the English daring the long hoars when Wellington sighed for "night or Blucher" and before the grim command was given of "Up, Guards, and at them!" Poor Napoleon's "vaulting ambition o'erleaped Itself," Vat after all there are no "Waterloos ttt can dim that illustrious career, a a flt man ambitious for undying me vould not bs Napoleon rather ia Iiis conquerors? "For his were deeds ihat can not pass away, and his name may mot wither, though the earth forgets her empires with a just decay." Looking over this fair and peaceful field to-day, one can hardly realize that it was once the scene of war's blooly and cruel strife,-where were "rider and horse, friend and foe, in one red hnrial blenL" All about are evidences of the better and . holier trivmnha of peace, and no alarm Iris drum or fierce sound of battle disturbs the quiet surroundings now vhre "Ardennes wares above them her green leaves Dewy with Nature s tear drops, as tney pass, wrieriDr. If aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over tue unreturnlng brave, alas." 9FF FOE fBAJtCI AJfD BPAIÄ TOWKS BT THE WAT. Returning'to Brussels by the lovely 'drive Ihroufch the forest of "Boi de la Cambre, X bid farewell to mine host of the Bellevue, and am off to France by way of tbe old aity of Lille, passing the important cities of Ath. nasnein ana lournaion we way, Xdlle la a abort distance across the French frontier, and ia the chief town of French Tlanders. or the "Department of the Jierd." It has a population of 150.000 inhabitant, and is noted for its cotton spin nine: and other manufactures. The great citadel here was built by Vauban. and at that time was considered one of the strong est fortresses In Earope. It was captured by the English under tlie Duke of Marl boron eh in 170. The "Fortes des Ron balx" and "de Gand" are relics of the days -of the Spanish occupancy. Leaving Lille

1 return to the main line at Möns, the cap

ita! of HalnauU, and go from there-on via Mauberge direct to-Paris. Stopping in

ram only twenty-four hours l am seain on the wing, this time to epend a few days with I frrends at tbe great . Hpantsti watering pi&ce, otn Sebastian. The ride is a. long, but very interesting one through the rich and fer. tile country of the Valley of tbe Loire, and passing through tbe famous old cities of Orleans, Biois, Tours, Poitiers and Angouleme to Bordeaux, tbe great metrotolis of tb wine growing provinces of Southern Fraace. All of these plaoes teem with interesting historical reminiscences intimately associated with . the exciting events that go to miie up Fraosa's history. Horaeaox is a city ot 22,00 inrabifvnts, and is the thard sea-port or France in business and commercial importance, and tbe wine ef Bor J aar are shipped in g eat quantitltsto all parts of tbe globe. rom Bordeaux we soon coma to jsayonne, where the picturesque mountains of the Pyjanees loom into view, and passing bt Jean de Lnz, Headaye and oiher attrkctive summer and winter rescrts ana bathine places, cross the frontier into North Spain at the prottv little Bisque town öS I run, where the Spanish custom officials amuse theraeelves, and irritate the meek and lowly tourist bv rummaging through his trunk, and tearUg and tossing his intimate linen about in the most contemptuous manner. SPASISH KOBILHT A PEEP iX THE R0Y.AJC FAMILY. From Iron It is but a short ride to San Sebastian, the capital of the SasqueProvioce of Guipuzcoa, beautifully and roaaantic&l'y located on tbe bay of Biscay, at the foot of Mount Org-allo. This is tbe Saratoga of North Spain, and the- great fashionable summer resort of tho Spanish nobility, and it is especially so at this time, nwlog to the presence of the Qieea Reseat of Spain and the little Xing, Alfonso 13th. I had tbe pleasure of a hssty glimpse at these august personages on the day of my arrival. The Queen takes the baths almost every day, and when she first arrived resorted to a clever subterfuge to avoid ths crowds of on lookers, who followed her every movement. Sue caused one of her ladies in waitir-s, of about her own age and size, to personate her and bathe before tbe gaping crowd, while she sought a secluded psrt of the beach, where she sported in the surf without fear of observation. Queen Christina is young and pleasant looking and, although an Austrian Pjincess, has mad hersaJfvery popular with the Spaniards since her husband's death. As the Baby King is only about two years old, his mother will Continus Queen Regent for some time to come, although the little fellow has been duly crowned and a gorgeou3 little crown hai been made for hi ai to wear on state occasions. Probably bis only knowledge of its uses at present ia to try and put it in his mouth aloDg with his royal little toes. HOMEWARD BOCSD, VIA PARIS, L0XD05 AXD EDIKCCKOn. After a brief, but pleasant stay in 8 in Sebastian, with much regret that my time would not permit a lengthy tour of 8pain, I retrsced my steps back to Paris, and after a day's rest ths re continued on a:ross the channel, and arrived 0204 more in "dear old London Town," where I have spent so much time in the last nine months that I almost feel as if I were at home once more. Looking back over my. tour, and making a general recapitulation, I find that 1. have, on this trip, visited Spain, France. Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, S reden, Finland, Poland and Russia, and having previously been in Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Bavaria, 8 lion y, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, I can now say that I hive visited every part of Europa except the extreme Turkish corner Greece, Turkey and the Turkish Principalities. This, with Canada, Cuba, Mexico and South America, makes a pretty good record of foreign travel, and I sbail enter in the next contest in opposition to Daniel Pratt, "the great American Traveler." Looking back upon It all with many happy recollections of pleasant hours spent and int resting places visited, I am glad to be able to say that I shall return to cur own glorious country with an increased love for our free American institutions and an increased pride in my American citizenship. The weather is still beautiful In" London, and the great city is as bright and enjoyable as it always is until the "melancholy days" of November come with their depressing and disagreeable fogs, winds and raics. l hud the theaters ail in lull blast and boon. ire to large patronage, and our American play, "Shadows of a Great City," at the Princess Theater, about to be with drawn after a long run that has brought numerous dollars to the pockets of those plucky, energetic and deserving Americans, Grace Hawthorne and W. W, Kelly. It is taken off to make way for a new play written for Mies Hawthorne by our very talented country-woman, Oliv Logan. I had the pleasure of hearing it read by Miss i.ocan nerseu, ai a ainner given by Mise Hawthorne on Sunday, at which were present Lady Wilde, mother of Oscar Wilde, Blanche Roosevelt, Countess W AIlegri, IV. G. Wills, author of "Claudian," A. s. Phillips, author 01 "As In a Looking Glass," Manager W. W. Kelly and other literary and theatrical lights, and all were loud in praises of tho work. A bright American actress ajd a play by a bright American authoress with a hustling American manager to make it go all good Americans should hope and pray lor its success. I he Countess ü Allegrl is also at work on a new play for Miss Hawthorne and Mr. Kelly, which she is writing in connection with the famous Sardeu, the greatest of living dramatists. The Countess, who is as handsome and at tractive as she is brilliant and Intellectual, Is a native of America, who has won for herself a high place in Europe both in lit' erature and art. Her novel, "The Copper Queen," and her Life of Gustave Dore are well known works, and she has just issued a new Life of Verdi which has received most favorable comment in literary circles. At a reception at her bouse I bad the pleasure of meeting the great English author, Wilkie Uollins, Prince Uhika, tue Rouma nian Ambassador, and other celebreties. After a short stay in London I shall make a brief visit to Edinburgh, and then in a few days shall board the lieet-footed steamer Umbria rnd turn my face towards Indianapolis and the land of tbe setting sun. W. tu. AN ALARMING STATEMENT. The Malady of tha Crown Prince Said to be Cancer of the Worst Trpe. Sah Bemo, November 13. Frrsh alarm has been caused by the announcement that the German Crown Prince's malady is undoubtedly soft cancer, and that the pus discharged contains cancer cells 01 the very worst kind. If the tumor con tinues to discharge a large quantity 01 matter, its growth may be retarded, but the worst fears are entertainea. Berlik. November 13. Prince Henry will return to Ban R?mo to-morrow. Prof. Virchow to-day received a portion of the matter recently discharged from the tumor In the Crown frince s throat, lie will examine it microscopically. A despatch from San Kemo to the r ational Gtzette saji the Crown Prince looks well, has a healthy color and his mind is lerene. His voice is husky, but be has no difficulty in speaking. He continues to express hope ot recovery. Lohik, November ID. The Standard'! Berlin correspondent says: :D ispatches from high quarters do not mention the alleged Improvement in the Crown Prince'a condition. The greatest anxiety nrevails. owing to the appearance of ofü cial bulletins.

There was a miracle in a church ia Naples last Sunday. A marble statue representing'VMana Adolorata"was see a kvopen i's eyes O, well, maybe it did maybe it did. Hnndreds of people say they saw it. We have never seen a statue open its eyes, but we have seen miracles equally great. We have been in churches where we wondered that the marble saints didn't hold their noses. It was a miracle that they didn't. ANOTHER 8BPER9TITIOT OVERTHROWS. All signs fail in some kinds of weather. A few days ago we were' in Poultney, Vt. A beautiful girl with the kind of hair that Titian loved to paint went down the street. A man came by in an opposite direction rfdicg a horse as black as tae raven's wing. By and by the girl came back, and a man drove 1 pair of handsome black hones down the street. My faith in popular beliefs was tottering, and in a moment more it went down a crashing ruin, a wreck of dust and shattered fragments, when two red-headed girls met on the corner, stopped, kissed each other and passed on, while a boy went leading a black colt down toward the station, a negro blacker than coal came from East Poultney way riding one black horse and lea 1ing another, and a black-and-tan dog chased a black cat up a black oak trse down by the blacksmith's shop, and a drop of black ink from my poied pen fell upon my newly blacked boots, like an i ebon tear dropped on a sable pall. Oat npon tbe lyiDg prophet who firat proclaimed that white horse "fad." DO BOT SCRATCH YOCR HEAD WITH Y0CR FORK. A tew Boston book, called "Sosial Customs," says: "Every one's card should have the address of the owner la the righthand corner." That may be all yery wall for Boston, but just marking one card in tbe whole pack in the right-hand corner is what they hanged a man for only last week out in Arizona. In an empire so broad as tbe American Republic it is a useless and a foolish task to attempt the reduction of sccUl customs to rigid rules that will bdd'v everywhere. THE AGE OF REASON.

IT KEVER FAILS. A boy In Christian County. III., is the owner of a mad-stone. It has not yet been tested in any well-authenticated cases of hydrophobia, but when the boy hits a dog with it. it makes the dog so mad that he howls, tears op thw ground, and runs like a deer over half a mile In a straight line. AK0THER BLOW AT GOVERNMENT, The influence of the Anarchists is felt in the United States more and more every year. This past year less starch was made in this country than in any season during a pariod of thirty years, and everything points to a reign of flannel shirts, flat scarfs and paper collars. SKIPPING THE SPOTS. Edward Everett Hale says he believes the George Washington cherry-tree and hatchet story. Brethren, it is the mark of a good man to believe the good things told of other people. You will observe that every man who doesn't believe that Washington always told the truth, and who seriously doubts that he prayed at Valley Forge, are firmly convinced and joyously declare that he swore like a pirate at Monmouth. That's the difference between the different aorta of people. THE CHISESE CEItSCS. The recent census of the Empire of China gives a population of 392,000.000 of souls Chinese souls. The census in China is taken for the purposea of taxation, a: d the method is very simple. The Eaaperor makes up his mind about how much money he wants; then in order to make the burden of taxation very light he estimates about five thousand psople to tbe dollar; the money comes in and nobody could be mean enough to protest. Protest is a Uhlnete idiom, my son. 1 don't wonder yon don't understand it. It is similar in meaning to our United S täte J "Kick." ISFISITE WISDOM IV A BRIEF LIFE. "But why," exclaimed the hoary-headed sage, as the youth looked listlessly out 01 tbe window and sighed wearily, "why should you, so young, so full of health and strength wish to die?" "Because," said the young man, turning away and falling into a chair with a gesture of infifnite languor. "I have nothing to live for. In the very morning of my life my clock has Btrnck 12. my sun has reached the senlth of its splendor, and earth has no prizes which I have not already taken. I have won during the past season twenty-two singles and thirty-four doubles, and am acknowledged the champion tennis-player of our set. It is not well. then, for me to die. while the world is at my feet?" The hoary-headed sage was lost in thoughtful silence for a moment. Then he rose to his feet- "You are rieht." he said cheer fully, "it is high time." So saying he lifted a large oaken club, studded with Iron knobs, and with all the force of his hale old a?e. smote the champion on the head. The club rebounded lightly, and tbe sage repeated the blow, this time or. the legs, just where they emerged from a shapely knickerbockers. The young man gave one shuddering gasp and divi.' The deadly blow had touched hU tltal spot.

"It is a good job,"said the hoary-haaded sage, who didn't run the sage business at a dead loss. "I will sell his cheek to the ball four-dry, and tbe rest of him will work up elegantly Into-a lawn fertilizer.' POLITIOAI. ISSTRPCTIOK.. "Rollo." said his father sadly, your teacher tells me that you put. au .indiarubber overshoe is to the school-room stove thia morniDg" "Yes, sir," oald Rolio meekly. "And he fcad to puniih-.you for it." continued: his father. "Yes, air." replied Rollo; "ha whipped me ia the presence of tbe satire school, but I was vindicated by the pupils." "How was that?" inquired hie lather. "I should - be pleased to heir of en; thing to your credit in this difRrscef ul aifalr." "Well, e J," said Rollo proudly, "he said, just as he told you, that it was an india rubber shea, but all the boys said IVsmelled a great deal mora- like burning leather than India-rubber." "Come to ray arms, my bcf" said Rollo'a father, who had just been left by 100 majority biaeelf. "You have. received a complete vindication at tho- hands oJ your peers." Z03SED OF THEIR I-'iTRUCTORS. No wonder the Englich people act so like beath&ss in their treatment of suffering Ireland. We call all theibest preachers over to American pulpits. But we send them "Soclivan." AB3TRACTIO"t.OF CENirS. "Bookworm is fearfully absent-minded," said Shortweight. "Hadn't noticed it," replied Straightedce. "Well he is, anyhow. I went to hija the othe day. 'Hello, old man,' he shouted, 'gl&d to see you; come in,' 'Anything over,' says I, 'about a twenty till bank hours to-morrow?" And' if tbat man didc t get up and walk over to tbe waste-baEket, and stand there and look down into it, nil the time softly whistling 'Gocdby, 8westhearr,' until I came away, I'm a goat.

"Because he is forty-two years old, and hasn't been a boy for so long he has forgotten what it tastes like." 'And why do you call him a cowboy?" "Because he drives steers and bulls." "Well, I thought there must be some reason for it, I know a town-crier is so called, because ha never cries, and that matinees were given at the vesper hour, but I didn't know you had such a keen sense of the fitness of things out West,"

The Board of Directors may by a majority vote of all the Directors grant ex emptions from the foregoing, but its direc tions for the location of the proposed grave must be strictly obeyed. Pursuant to this resolution, a committee was appointed to confer with the representatives of the friends of the deceased, looking to a location in the cemetery. should the friends decide to inter the re mains in W&ldhelm. Newark, N. J., November 13.

They are of billions temperament. The complaint to wh!ch they are aubject, though easily remediable by judicious treatment, is In many casf s aggravated by a resort to drastic purgatives and choligognes. As tbe human stomach and bowels are liced with a delicate membrane, and not with vulcanite, they cannot stand prolonged dresching with such medicines without serious injury; Xothicg restores and counteracts an habitual tendency to cor stipttion so effectually as IIostctter's Stomach Bitters, Its laxative effect is gentle and progressive. It neither convulses nor weakens the intestines, and its effects are unaccompanied by griping pains.
