many that the heart ached at the stream-

their chiefs. Here, again, l chnnot follow the

horses necks, all joyous in triumph, with

uniforms, bearskins rubbed bare with the

fellows, all crosses and medals for yalor in
plenty; Crimean medals abundant. 1t was
impossible not to feel that they were troops of
heroes. The English present all caught the
enthusiasm OF the hour, and cheered right lus-
tily ''Viye la Garde," "Vive les Zouaves,'
'Vive In Lige, - as successive regiments passed.
No one thought of "rifiemen, FORM" or of the
possibilities of the future. Every man present
felt pride in the manly fellows who did such
honor to their country.

cheering; and the women were, not to say it
unfairly, intoxicated with the excitement-
Ladies who at first had arrived calm. elegant
women of the world, became shrieking hys-
terical enthusiasts under the strong influen-
ces OF the stirring scene that was being enact
ed before them. Excitement succeeded excite
ment, and emotion followed on emotion.

you not fancy the cheer of soIdiery and spec
tators when the little Imperial Prince in his
uniform of corporal OF the Guard, came down
beside his father, and being lifted up to him
evidently begged favor; the favor was grant
ed; Napoleon took the child in his arms and
placed him on the saddle before HIM. How the
soldiers smiled and looked delighted-kind
hearts as they were. How they thought of the
contrast OF that scene with the storm of bull
lets at Solferino and Magenta.
THE HEROES OF ITALY
The Duke of Magenta (McMuhon) was
present with his division. and received an
ovation only second to that of Napoleon; SO
also General Forey, the victor of the first
battle In the recent campagn-Montebello.
There were scores of other brave officers
whose names know not, but who were evil

r1ous characters-some still and impossible
TOO modest or too stern to notice it-others ra-
uiant with JOY, saluting and re-saluting the
cheering crowd. The Austrian Standards and
Iofty Austrian guns Were carried in trium-
phaf procession amid the riras of the popu-
lace, and then followed moro divisions of the
army. The passage of the troops began at q
little past ten, and was over only just before
three They passed in deep column at the
quick step, and numbered upwards of $1,000
men. When one endeavors to realize to ones
mind the fact that the French alone at Soife-
r1no numbered three times as many, and that
the whole combatant force present at the bat
tie must have been some eight times as large,
vast aggregations Of humanity could by any
means be mannuyred. The weather was sI-
perb up to two O'Clock, when some premoni-
tory "heat drops We're followed by a severe
shower, which wetfed most of the spectators
in spite OF parasol and umbrella, and fairly
drenehea the Emperor and his staff. How
ever, before all was over, brilliant sun
shone out again, displaying to advantage the
magnificent show OF cavalry which closed the
march.
