A Noble Letter of Marshal Vaillant's.

The following letter, said to have been addressed
by Marshal Vaillant to a working farrier, of the
Cote d'Or, of the same name, who desired to know
whether they were related, has appeared in some of
the papers. It is curious and characteristic, and,
as it has not been contradicted by the personage
most interested, may be considered as genuine :
" Sir,—You have written me an excellent letter.
The writer must be an honest man, and I should
feel very proud to be related to him, though I don't
know whether we shall be able to clear up that
point.. My father, whom I was so unfortunate to
lose in 1823, had been district secretary at Dijon,
and afterwards Secretary-General of Prefecture of
the Cote d'Or in 1815. He was named represen-
tative during the Hundred Days, then dismissed
from his post at the'prefecture and imprisoned for
being a Bonapartist. I was at. that time with the
army behind the Loire. My father died poor, but
esteemed by every one. I don't think he had a
single enemy. Ido not resemble him in any way.
He was slight of frame, and I am big and burly. He
was gentle in manner, and I pass for being surly
and boorish. (A fact.) In a word, he had as many
fine and excellent qualities as people say I have de-
fects, and I believe those who say so are not mis-
taken. My father brought up a large family—now
reduced in number. I have an unmarried sister at
Dijon; another who is a widow, and one of whose
sons, M. Girrodde, is Engineer des Ponts et
Chausses at Chatillon-sur-Seine. He is therefore a
near neighbour of yours. I had a younger brother
whom I had the misfortune to lose in 1815. My
father had an elder brother who died librarian
of the town of Dijon. My grandfather kept a
little silk mercer's shop in the Place St. Vincent
a.

Dijon. His father had been a shoe-
maker. I cannot go further back; my quarters
of nobility stop with the shoemaker. I have
heard say that one of my great uncles had been in
the army, and was wounded in Canada. My father
married a young woman named Canquoin. A brother
of my mother died parish priest of G-enlis (Cote
d'Or). He was an excellent man, and we all greatly
regretted him. His brother had some post in the
Registry-office. We lost him in 1839. I have no
children, and it is the greatest sorrow which Heaven
could visit me with. I never asked it for wealth or
honours, and it has given me what I had no desire
for, and taken from me my stepson, the child of my
wife. We must submit to its decrees. I was born
at Dijon on the 6th of December, 1790 ; but I have
hardly any recollection of my mother. We were
very poor. We were tenderly brought up, but
amidst privations of every sort. The servant who
took care of us is still living at Dijon ; my sisters
and I love her like a mother, and she loves us as if
were her own children. God vouchsafes no longer
faithful creatures like this good woman, who re-
ceived us when we came into the world, and she
showed towards us a love such es it is impossible for
me to express. She refused twenty offers of mar-
riage to stay with us, and yet we must have been a
sad trouble to her. I entered the Polytechnic School
at 16, and I left it to enter the Engineers. The grade
which of all others gave me the, greatest pleasure
was that of corporal at the Polytechnic School. I
