his head quarters for a time al Schocnbrun..

among them rewards and honors. One
old and brave regimen Of the line was
drawn ont before him for this purpose. his
custom being 10 examine every corps imdi-
vidually under the guidance ollhe officers.

lions on all who appeared worthy them.
Five hours he spent in this nccupation;
and ut length, whrn he had satisfied him.

his eyes. The saliva was constantly pour
ing into the mouth; the impression Of
curreur of air, or The sight of brilliant bo.

body appeared TO him so light, tha, he felt
as though hr could leap 10 prodigious
height. He experienced, he said, Il wish
to run and bite-not men, bul animals and
iDanimate bodies. Finally, he drank with
great difficulty; aud the sight of water
was still more distressing to aim than the
pain in his throat. These symptoms re.
