The Figaro describes the arrival at Metz
Of Gen, Changarnier. in the following man
ner:
An aged man, dressed il gay trousers,
with straps, and closely-buttOn0d great

ed the anxious and disturbed town of Metz,
and coming from the railway station, beat
his course toward the prefecture. A steady
rain came down toward nightfall and drove
the spy-AUuters into their houses, other
wise the individual in que ton would
scarcely hays reached bis destination with
out hlndTance. On arriving at the pretec-
tlre he entered the courtyard, assembled
the steps and found himself before Cent

formed that General Changarnier wished
to speak to the Emperor,

Emperor who vas alone, ordered the

These two men, VINO nad not spoken to
each other for nineteen years, were now
