RISMARCH AT SEDAN, THE STORY OF THE SURRENDER OF NAPOLEON LIL.

Prom

Von Busch, the private secretary of Count Bismarck, has published some reminiscences of the surrender of the French Army at Sedan. According to this account the Chancellor was com- yelled during the excitement of the battle and surrender to go a whole day with only four or five eggs to eat, and to sleep jn a ruined house near the field. A sleeping apartment was with difficulty secured for the King, over whom his son stood guard all night. Then follows the story of the surren- der :—

At 6.30 o’clock a French General, sent by Napoleon, at last arrived upon the plateau, preceded by a picket of cuirassiers. At about a distance of ten feet he jumped from his horse, and after removing his cap, he held out a paper with red seals. The General is of medium height, thin, and rather old: he wore a black cloak, with gold martingales and spurs. Under the clozk a black tunic, red trousers, and yarnished riding boots. He had no sword, and a simple cane in his hand.

As the King broke the seals of the message, every one retired to a short distance. And after reading the con- tents—now well enough known for it to be useless to repeat it here — His Majesty handed the open paper to Bismarck, to De Mclitke, to the Prince Royal, and to the other Princes near him, while Gen. Reille, still standing a few steps away, at first alone, with bowed head, was soon joined by several generous Prussians, who conversed with him, and then by the Prince Royal, De Moltke, and the Grand Duke of Cobourg.

The King was still speaking, in an undertone, to Bismarck.

The latter seemed to be giving him advice, and soon sent for Count Hatz- feld to ask him to draw up in such and such terms an answer to the Emperor. This sketch once made, it had to be made clear, and the King, seated upon one chair, copied his answer upon the seat of asecond one, which served as a desk, and which Major Alten, with one knee upon the ground, held within the King’s reach by pressing it firmly upon his thigh. Not until seven o’clock did the French start towards Sedan, escort- ed by an officer and one of the Uhlan trumpeters, bearing a white flag, whose color was scarcely visible in the twi light.

The first interview with Napoleon 1II., and the appearance of the Em-

ror. is thus described :-—

About 800 steps from the bridge thrown over the Manse, beyond the village of Donchery, there is an isolated house bordering the high road; the body of the building is yellow, one story high with a slate roof, white Venetian blinds on the ground floor, and shutters of the same colour upon the first story. At the left of the house lies a little potato field; on the right, twenty feet trom the road, some shrubs and bushes. Coming in view of this house I had no doubt that the Chancellor had already

joined the Emperor, before the door, as I perceived six high officers, of whom five wore red caps, and the sixth a black one. Upon the road a four-seated carriage, which appeared to be a hired one. Bismarck and his cousin, Count Bohlen, were facing the officers, while afew steps from the group were Lo- evenstroeme and the black hussar. At 8 o'clock De Moltke arrived with several staff officers, but after a short pause among the grouphewithdrew. It was then that, emerging from behind the honse, appeared a little man with a red cap on his head, and dressed in a black cloak with a hood lined with either red cloth or flannel. He wore white kid gloves, and was smoking a cigareite.

teaching the foreground, he mingled and talked with the French officers. It was the Emperor! He appeared fa- tigued, but not dejected. Atfirst sight he did not even seem more than fifty tome. After a moment he walked to- wards the Chancellor, talked with him for two or three minutes, and then withdrew to the edge of the potato-field where he paced up and down, alone, still smoking and with his hands behind his back. He returned a second time to the charge, again talked a few minutes with the Chancellor, and re- turned to the group of French officers.

At 8.45 o'clock the chief arose and started with his cousin towards Don- chery, where I followed him. Often since the Chancellor bas given me the detailed account of the events which! occurred that morning.

Conclusion in our next.

One of the growing fashions in Paris and Vienna is pneumatic clocks. Air is compressed into a central reservoir, from which pipes are carried and laid! down to any number of houses and at-| tached to the clocks; the pendulum re- leases the same measure of air uniform-

ne which moves the clock-work, so| = that time is “laid on” similar to water )

and gas,

Thore never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact tat over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary: plasters.

DB. MELYIN’S CAPStcuM PorRoUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Al) other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effeet a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medica] agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTsERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniraents, and they have failed, and

ou want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate person to wear, as it is

commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

sk your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
