1t is located at the extremity of q fine plain.
One of the finest bridges in Europe, across the
river Loire, forms the principal entrance. This
bridge is 1923 feet in length, has fifteen arches,
and forms part of the principal thoroughfare
which traverses the town from one end to the
other. On the quay along the banks of the
river are built many handsome houses. Much
of the town is new, and in these portions the
streets are wide and elegant, but in the old por-
tions it is exactly the opposite. The principal
object of interest is the cathedral, which is a
building OF the purest Gothic, and has an inte-
rior $50 feet in length by S5 feet in height. The
front has a window of immense dimensions, and
also two towers with domes, each POS feet high.
1t contains a fine marble monument of the
two only children of Charles VIII and Anne of
Bretagne, by the early death Of whom the sue
cession became changed There are also In the
town two large towers, the remnants of the vast
Cathedral of st. Martin, left after the destruc-
tion of the revolutions of 1893. One of these is
called the tower of st. Martin or Horloge, and
contains the principal clock; the other is called
the tower of Charlemagne because his Queen
Luitgarde is buried beneath it. Some remnants
also remain of the castle built by Henry ii of
England, but they now form part of cavalry
barracks. The Church of St. Clement is q fine
structure, but is now used as a corn market.
The Church of st. Julian is also good speci-
men OF thirteenth century architecture, but is
likewise degraded into a coach-house. The
archiepiscopalI palace at Tours is regarded as
one of the most handsome in the kingdom.
There also public library of 40, 900 volumes,
with several remarkable manuscripts, picture
gallery, and a museum of natural history. a
large fountain of white marble occupies the CEN
ire of the market place.
Tours is chiefly famous for its silk manufac-
ture, which was introduced by Louis XI BY
means of this it had attained population ol
$4,000, when the revocation of the Edict OF
Nantes deprived it of about one-half of its in
habitants. This was a blow to its prosperity
from which it never entirely recovered 1t is
the favorite residence of the English, of whom
about 5000 are estimated as residents of the
place. Under the Romans Tours was the capital
of Lugdunensis III.

1t would seem that the French Ministry have
abandoned the notion of moving from the capi-
tai to Beurges, in case of siege of the former,
and are contemplating taking up temporary
quarters In Tours. Bourges is 1913 miles directly
south of Paris, while Tours is about 1SO miles

some 20 miles further west from the seat of
danger.

cipitous mountain path. With their help fresh
attack OF the enemy was repulsed. A flank at
tack directed against our left from Aishngen
and Spicheren was warded off in time by bat
talions of the 9th Division stationed in reserve.
The fighting, which for hours had been con-
Quoted with the utmost obstinacy on both sides,
now reached its climax. Once more the enemy,
superior still in numbers rallied his entire forces
for grand and impetuous charge. 1t was his
third attack after we had occupied the wood
But, like the preceding ones, this last effort
was shortened by the imperturbable calm
ness of our infantry and artillery. Like
waves dashiDg and breaking against a
rock, the enemy's battalions we're scattered by
our gallant troops. After this last failure the
enemy beat rapid retreat; 81 French battalions,
with the artillery of an entire corps, stationed
in an almost unassailable position had thus
been defeated by 27 Prussian battalions, sup
ported by but the artillery of one division. It
was brilliant victory indeed. We had every
thing against us-numbers, guns, and the nature
of the locality; yet we prevailed.
Darkness fast setting in afforded its valuable
aid to the enemy in effecting his retreat. To
cover this backward movement the French
artillery were stationed on the hills skirt
ing the battlefield on the south, where
they kept up continuous but harmless fire for
a considerable time.
to take any part in the action. Nevertheless,
the fruits of the victory were very remarkable.
The corps under General Frossard, being en-
tirely demoralized, dispersed. The road it took
wagons with provisions and clothing; the woods
were filled with hosts of stragglers wandering
about in a purposeless way, and large stores and
quantities of goods of every description fellinto
our hands.
"While the battle was raging at Spicheren
Hill, the 18th Division crossed the Saar at
Werden, occupied Forbach, seized vast maga-
zines of food and clothing, and thus forced
General Frossard, whose retreat was covered by
two divisions of General Bazaine which had
come up tor the purpose, to withdraw to the
southwest and leave free the road to st. Avoid.
'The losses were very serious on both Sides
The 5th Division alone has 230 dead and about
1900 wounded. The 18th Infantry has 80 off,
GERS and 800 men dead or wounded; next to this
the 10th, Sth, 4Stb, 39th, and 74th have suffered
most. The batteries, too, have encountered
terrible loss. The number of killed and
wounded on the enemy's side is at least equal TO
our own. The unwoupded prisoners in our
hands already exceed 2000, and are increasing
hourly. We have also captured 40 pontoona
and the tents of the camp"
