st. CLOUD In Ruius.
A correspondent writing from Versailles says:
The other day made pilgrimage to st.
Cloud. cannot describe how utterly destroyed
il is. Hardly house remains untouched, and
very many are mere chaotic masses, not one
stone standing on another. The Rue Royale
looked like long glacier of fallen stones and
rubbish. The dark figures of three German
soldiers, returning from a'search for wine in the
cellars under the ruins, wound their way among
the heaps. The Rue de pEglise, l think, was
the very centre of the ruins. / sat down on the
top of pile of stones as high as the ceiling OF
the first floor, just opposite to No "a, where
there was table Sape,r Pompier attached
Before me a whole house had fallen in except
the party wall, on which were traceable the out
lines of the various floors and rooms. On the
second floor was
HANGING KITCHEN,
with all its appurtenances complete. Plates
and saucepans on the stove, over it a frying-pan,
atgridiron, three handirons and at the side a
little box for matches. And at the end of this
vista of backened ruins stood the church,
white, uninjured, shining in the sun. To get al
the church was much more like toiling along a
deep gorge, over
MASSES OF LOOSE BoULDRRs,
between precipito us overhanging crags, than
passing along a street. Two or three times
] heard an avalanche of falling walls. In
the porch there was board placed on three
chairs, which told me that.all entry was ''Uerbo
ten" The doors, could see, were charred, as Il
from an attempt to fire them. One painted
window / noticed riddled with the bits of ar
exploded shell. With these exceptions the
church had apparently come out OF the fiery
ordeal unscathed, as if by miracle.
