/ 40 St. Cloud the traces Of the conflict
are visible on every haad. The entire
village, which consisted Of several hun
dred houses, many Of thcm exceptional
ly elegant, is in ruins, only about half Il
dozen dwellings and the church rcmaln-
ing In good condition. The rubbish fills
the streets and a waste OF baChcued walls
meets the eye in every direction. The
palace IS pitiaD.e ght. The trout walls

+ c,gug sight, which has been effectively
. Photographed, rs also tie .faeade Of the
Chateau Of Menl,n, which is situated a
few miles fuHh-r on, and which was also
destroyed. The destruction OF the coIc-
bratcd fountains OF 81. Cloud is complete;
the Prassians having had the beautiful
marble work dug mp and thrown around
in disorder This Aruaitous act Of van

similar character The beautiful aYeuue

seem out Of pure mischief, otherwise the

uics aud their satellites, the whole army
Of iunctionarics from Paris had prccipi-
tated themselves into the town during the
preceding twcnty-tour hours, in c0nse-
queace Of the evacuation Of Paris.
Thousands upon thousands Of troops had
also arrived and more were constantly
coming in.
You may imagine the struggle for quar-.
ters going on: even dignifed deputies.
were obliged TO apply to the Mayor for a
reouisitioued lodging. NV own rooms
which had been occupied during the
winter, and up to ten days previously by
Prussan soldiers, were fortunately ready

Prussans formerly hlllcted in our housc,
were replaced by sixteen French soldiers,
