Although that willy tyrant, LOUIS Ma
FoIEoN, longs to see our republic broken
in twain, yet there are two gallant scions
Of the ancient House of Orleans who are
lighting as nobly to preserve the stars
and stripes as Lafayette did to enroll
them among the flags Of the nations.
The following sketch is from the New
York Herald:

soldier. He will doubtless be remem
