The CRrsT or TIE ALps.-The crest Of the

are twice this hight No carriage road is con
structed over for great distance, and. indeed
this is the only pass of any kind for distance of
several days ride. and here existed none until
the last part OF the last century. The difficulty
OF constructing road lay in the fact that lime
stone prcciqiccs of great hight everywhere
ahonnd as one approaches the pass from the
valley OF ihe Rhone. After rising to the hight
Of over 5000 feet above the sea, the valley up
which the road runs terminates in an amphitheater
OF prCcipiccs, which rise at very high angle Gin
places perpendicular), for 200 ieet.
Up this path has been cut, wide enough for
mules, winding this way AID that, sometimes on
projecting crag, sometimes on niche or groove
cut in the rock, just merely wide enough Tor the
path. it happens, in several places, that plumb
line dropped from the edge OF the path Will pass
outside OF the path, at some lower point In many
places the path skirts precipces 500 to 1000 feet
high and in one place plumb line may be

INCIDENT OF THE WAR.-The NonHe,tr says :
" The Emperor having heard that there was liv-
ing at Alessandria an old soldier, named Fleuret,
eghty-seven years Of age who had received three
wounds on the 26th Brumare, and at the battle
OF Arcole. in dashing forward among the first on
the bridge, sent on the 22d for the veteran to
headquarters, before his majesty attended mass
The old man, on being introduced to the Emperor
recounted with animation the part which he had
taken in that battle, and when he had finished his
recital his majesty gave him with his own hand
the cross Of the Legion of Honor. In receiving
this recompensc, which exceeded all his wishes,
the soldier Of Arcoe burst into tears, and could
only express his gratitude in few broken words
which were, however, more eloquent than a long
address.
