in the city lately was one on the land

Washington. raising his stature, and
quite overlooking The guard ofsome fifty
soldiers. 'Why, sir, | need no guard.

with a wave Of his hand the guard fell in

frequently related among others, by John
Carroll, who was then with the Gene

tending 10 show that he was Q good and

with Washington al this crisis for h.

KLEBER AND DEssAIX.

From Theirs new work, The History Of the
Consulate and Empire of France, under
Napoleon. E44
Kleber was the handsomest man IN Tho
Amy. His lefty stature, his noble counts-
nance, expressing all the pride Of bis soul,
his valor at once intrepid and cool, his quick
and solid intelligence, rendered him most
formidable commander. His mind was bril-
liant, original, but uncultivatcd. He read
incesseBily and exclusively PIuiarch and
Quintus Curtius; there he sought the food
Of great souls, the history Of the heroes Of
antiquity. He was capricious, in docile and
grumbler Itwas said Of him that he liked
NOT either to command or obey, and this was
true. He obeyed under Gen. Bsnuparts,
but not without murnurng; he commanded,
but in the name Of another, under Gen.
Jordan for example; assuming the command
by a sort Of inspiration amid the baiile, exer-
cisngit like a superior captain, and, after
the victory, resuming his character as Lieut.
enant, which he preferred TO any o,her.
Kleber was lieentious in his manners and
language, but upright, disiuterested, as men
were in those days, for the conquest Of the
world had not yet corrupted their disPosi-
tions.
Dessaix was the reverse in almost every
respect-simplc, bashful, nay, somewhat
awkard, his face hid BY profusion Of hair,
he had not the look Of soldier. But, he
roic in action, kind 10 the soldiers, modest
with his comrades, generous 10 the vanquish-
ed; he was adored by the army and by the
people conquered by their arms. His solid
and emmently cultivated mind, his intelli-
gencs in war, bis application 10 his duties
and his disinterestedness, made him an ac-
conplished model Of the military virtues,
and while Klebsr, indocile, refractory, could
mol endure sny superior authority, Dsssaix
was obedisnt, as though he had not known
how to command.

RICHARD GOLDEN.

Elihu Burriit, now travelling in England,
thus speaks Of the list meeting Of tho
League: gf
Golden rose--nst to speak for the space
of several minutes, bat to stand up in af-
lecting silence before the assembly, who
would have drowned the voice Of a trumpet
before the swelling peals Of applause with
which they greeted the Napoleon Of Moral
Revolution. Several times lie essayed to
speak, but before he could frame his lips 10
the utterance of a word, the multitude would
burst forth anew with another volume Of
cheers. | saw his clear spirit speaking eyes
FIJI with tears, on thus being interrupted the
thld time in his efforts to make himself heard.
There stood the meekest looking man ever
saw fronting public assembly, and in the
meekest attitude. Az he stood with
his slight form inclining. forward, with
one Of his thin pale hands hanging by the
forefnger from a bution-hole in tho left
breast Of his coat, and with other resting on
a corner ofthe Speakers desk as if for sup
port, he locked the very impersonaiicn of
timid modesty. His whole attitude and APP
pearance reminded me Of. some humble
member ofthe Methodist church, in Ameri-
ca arising in one oftheir class-meetings to
to "tell their experience Yin con.rts spir-
il. And that was England's foremost man!
Ameng all the heroes her annals have num-
bered, that soft voiced Ievolutionist stood
the highes: in the peoples gratitude! For
England had become apeople, and he the
peoples man, and this was the hour efcoron-
alton. The first words he uttered fell upon
the multitude in tones Of querulous modula-
ten. They were uttered with clild-like
simplicity, and were ,remuloas with the emo
ton he confessed,

THE MAN WHAT WAS NOT BORN TO
Re KILLED by A SHELL

During the bombardment Of Fort Brown
the bsseiged troops we're obliged to throw
themselves flat upon the ground every time
she'll was fred at them from the enemy.
A shell exploding among men in standing
position would be twenty times moro apt TO
kill them than if they were close TO the
ground. A knot Of officers were standing
together for moment one day, resting and
chatting, when the look out man gave the
word 10 dodge shell. Tho officers we're
down in an instant, Lieut.. H. ,prcstiating
himself face downwards, and locking over
his shoulder. The shell came fizzihg down
close by them. 81 wonder If she'll burstp'

time about it, anyhow" Hardly were the
words uttered when tremendous explosion
replied to them, and H.'s head welt down
like lump Of lead. Pretty soon the pieces
began 10 fall, with patlerng sound around
them. Now we'll catch it,n remarked H.,
inclining his face little upward, but still
lying close. There it comes" said he,
as he saw large fragment descending rapid
ly upon his back. His comerads saw il, and
thought sure enough that poor rs time had
come. Twas useless to dodge, for he
might throw himself directly in The way Of

afterwards. The piece bit him plump be-
tween the shoulders. Hoo!' grunted H.,
