7yramidS-near the celebrated General
leber when he fell -belonged 10 the d.
ision at that time commanded by Ney
afterwards the most remarka bic and
nightest Of Napoleon's marshals. Sub.
sequently he was made a prisoner by the
Elglish-found his way to Ireland, and
afterwards enlisted in Tho British service
came with his regiment to Canada in
1872, in the capacity of drum major
was at the battle of Lundy's Lane, and
q the end of II years service in the
British army, got his discharge in 1916
-~came 10 the States-tor many years
taught martial music-travelled all over
the country-becanie familiar with Sla-
very at the South, and is now thorough
AboItlonist and a pious man. He is in
telligent and has fund of ready wit and
humor. The British Government have
lately put hi m and number Of his old
comrades on the pension list His annu .
aIst;pend will be one hundred and fifty
dollars, and of course makes him qui to
