Sounded soldier represented France at

| versailles.
A number of gendearmery began to
appear among the crowd, but they min
gled with them, and did not keep up any
military order or formation. Our
Wachemeister was among them strong
and strenuous man, with potent, far
reaching voice, and an awe-inspiring
whip pendant from his wrist, who is ter
rible on the line Of march among the
headquarters wagons; and among them,
too, was his intolerable civil, red-headed,
obsequious, speckled Bavarian subordi-
nate, who bullies poor peasants along
the road, and is not to be understood by
any people, so rude and rough is his
tongue. As an instance of how much
mischief one man may do, / may state
that in three cases where heard French
complaints of the rudeness of Prusslans
and their violence, the acts were com
mitted by this one man. II was two
clock, and still the King came not, but
believe he was in the chateau paying a
private visit to the wards The people
waited The soldiers talked, many
meeting after long separations and hav-
ing much to say, the officers of the King
and Of the Crown Prince staff being
generally acquainted with each other.
The fountains gave preliminary flourish
and spirit or two, just to see if their pipes
were in order, and at 2:l5 there was stir
in front of the chateau; all heads were
turned that way, and the well known
figure of the King was visible descend
ing the steps. His Majesty wore an un-
dress cap instead of his helmet, and by
his side was the French director of the
palace, who acted as guide.
There was a quiet rush among the
French to see the mighty king as he
passed between the opening files Of his
officers, who saluted him as he passed,
but not one of them could see, anxious
as they were TO see what sort OF man he
was, this William of Prussia, whose ban
ners were on their walls and whose sol
diers were in their palaces, touched his
cap or raised his hat, or gave any cour-
teous inclination. And more to their
credit be it said. 1t was the same on the
day of the kings arrival; and to nature
such as his such behaviour would have
more dignity in it than any modulation
of the body or any obsequious posture
making. But the waters played the
courtier we'll. They rose bright and
sparkling in the sun They splashed

Detecting Murder with Micro
scOpe-The Case of N Murdered
Michigan Banker.

Michigan BaDker.
The Field -Vanderpool murder case in
Michigan, now on its second trial, is one
of the most remarkable cases in the
criminal history of that State. Herbert
Field was native of Lewistown, Me-,
and twenty-one years of age at the time
Of his death. He had led rowing life,
having been sailor and United States
marine, and having escaped two most
perilous shipwrecks, one of which was
of Russian bark near Riga He then
passed through commercial college at
Auburn, Me-, and formed the acquaint-
ance of Miss Hill, of Lewiston, who
offered to educate him, and when his
health began TO fail from the confine-
ment of study, moved with him to Man
istee Michigan, where they lived together
as nephew and aunt, though in no way
related. He there met Vanderpool and
formed with him banking firm, invest
ing about $1,000, which was furnished
him by Miss Hill. Vanderpool ori ginated
in Central New York, bore a good char
acter, and has young wife. He put
S2500 into the firm. In September, 1869,
Field wished to withdraw his funds and
dissolve partnership, which was finally
agreed to, in spite of Vanderpool's reluc-
tance. On Saturday night they went
into the bank together, and twelve days
after Fields body YVES found in the lake,
several miles from Manistee, having been
towed away by an under-current. The
theory is that Vanderpool murdered him
on Sunday forenoon in the bank and
afterwards deposited the body in the lake.
Stains upon the floor of the bank and
carpeting have been analyzed, and the
microscope reveals, with startling GER
tainty, the exact nature Of the blood cor
puscles, that they must have belonged
to human being, and one of the age
of Field, The character of this evidence
is one of the features of the trial. all
effort to invalidate the testimony of the
chemist having failed. Thestrong point
of the defense is that Field was seen alive
ON Sunday afternoon, and if that is set
tied, Vanderpool could not have been
the murderer Thus the mass of evidence
is entirely circumstantial, and only the
most careful sitting and balancing will
justify a verdict of guilty or clear the
prisoner in the public mind. Thlsis his
second trial BY the first he was found
guilty, but the feeling against him was so
strong that it was thought no more than
fair to grant him a new trial in diff
ferent part Of the State. He is on trial
at Kalamazoo.

Singular Death of an Indian, His
Squaw and His Dog.

From the sioux City Times.
We learn the following interesting par
ticulars of the death of the noted Indian
farmer, yellow Hawk, and his wife and
dog, near Fort Sully, from Colonel Ban
mister, who has just returned from the
upper country:
Yellow Hawk was shrewd old Indian
who had abandoned his native mode of
life to great extent and gone to farm
ing on the Peoria bottom, a fertile piece
of land in the up-river country. By his
industry and economy he accumulated
wealth enough to purchase horse and
cart, with which he has been in the habit
for the past few years of traversing the
country and disposing of the products Of
this farm TO the different posts and forts
within his reach He always carried
with him a canvas tent, which he would
pitch whenever he saw an approaching
storm.
About three weeks ago there passed
over Fort Sully terrible thunder storm
and in it old Yellow Hawk yielded up
the ghost. On the day following the
storm party of men happened to run
upon little canvas tent pitched upon
the river bank. There were no signs of
life about it, and they lifted the canvas
door and stepped in. There, in one end
of the tent, sat yellow Hawk, erect and
rigid as a statue, with his eyes wide open,
and one hand firmly grasped on dogs
neck, and the dog standing on his fore
legs and partly sitting on his haunches,
staring wildly in the same direction as
his master; while on the other side Of
the dog was the wife of Yellow Hawk,
resting upon her elbow on the ground,
and staring in the same direction that
the other occupants OF the tent were
gazing. The man was inexpressibly ter
rifed by the spectacle, and his first inn
pulse was to run, but there was some
thing so wildly strange in their eyes and
in the general expression Of their feat
ures that he was bound TO the spot Not
a muscle of their faces moved and they
held their positions like statues-they
we're dead.
The balance Of the party were attract
ed to the tent by the prolonged absence
of their eomrade, and they saw the scene
above described They left the tent
without disturbing the attitudes of the
dead, and went to Snlly and reported
their discovery. A party of soldiers in
mediately repaired to the spot, and found
them still in the same position. 1t is
presumed they were killed by lightning
during the storm Of the previous night;
still there was no evidence that their
death was caused in this manner. Their
features bore an expression Of intense
fear, but there were no signs Of the
lightning work about them or about the
tent. They were buried on the spot
where they were found by the Indians
