Dr aAyARD rArLoR-
On the 18th or October 1856 celebration
Of q peculiar character was held in email vi
lage near Jenna. It was m occasion Of IN en-
tire1y local nature, and might Lare passet
over unobsersed and unknown to all, excep
the immediate vicinity, but for its connectio.
with the battle which fifty years and one day
before annihilated the power Of Pr,lssia: Al
account ofit however, was published in mos
Of The German newspapers and this circum
stance tho sequel Of story am about to relate
was brought o. At the time tho celebration
took place, was residing IN Gotha, not more
tlan fifty miles from the spot and received
the story almost in the very words Of the chiei
actor in it. I am sos7y that his name aud that
ofthe village, hare escaped my memory. AL
other particulars mado too deep an impression
upon me to be easily forgotten.
We must first 60 back to the 18th Of Octo-
ber 1906. On that day the windy upIands
northeast Of Jenna witnessed the brief but ter.
rib!e combat, which resulted in the triumph
ant entry Of the French army into Berlin e1ev-
en- days atterwasd-during which time Prus-
sin had lost GO, 1000 men, IS standards, and GOO
cannon. i portion Of tho French army was
eacamped on the battlefield, OF quaztercd in
the village asound. The poor inhabitants over
whelmed by this sudden avalanche of war
upon their quiet fe1ds-where for hundred
years or more, they had 7eaped their harvest
in peace submitted in helpless apathy while
! their houses and barns were plundercd by the
lawless soldiery. The battle was orer, but
] there was no lull in tho blast Of ruin. Through
| the. clouds Of cannon smoke which settled into
tho bosom Of the deep valleys rs the raw Oc-
| tober evening came on, we're heard in all direc-
tons sllrieks Of ear, ye1ls Of rage or triumph,
| and cries Of pain or lamentation.
Davoust-the s'Butchcr Of Hamburg" as the
Germans called hiul-.ook up his quarters for
the night in one Of the most convenient and
comfortable houses which could BE- found in
the neighborhood Of the scene Of slaughter
Here he rapidly issued orders for the DISPOSE
ton of the forces under his command, gave d.
rscttons for the morrow, and received reports
from his adjutants. He lad taken lis cloak,
and WAS about retizing to an inner chamber
for repose, when an officer entered, Pardon
mt, general" he said, but there is a case
aiUe must be taught to respect us. Ten SOL
