of age, sword in hand. 1t is said he
was selected in honor Of and reward for
his great personal bravery in the field.
The men carried carbines, resting on
their thighs, and on they came, at a
rattling pace. The young leader looked
so gallant | could not help admirlng
him. A small party dashed to the Arc
de Triomphe, and under it they went
without drawing bride, over heaps OF
stones and sand, which had been left
possibly to prevent their passage. They
reined sharp up at the top OF the
Champs Elysees, with the Tuilerles IN
front. As turned towards the Avenue
de Triomphe, l saw another officer, with
a trumpeter at his side, gallopng up
the avenue, and behind them, at lit
tie distance, dozen, hussars. A cloud
OF infantry was seen approaching, but
at such a distance that the little square
of cavalry was for a moment entirely
unsupported. When | reached the
Arc asked the young officer his name.
He replied politely, Lieutenant Won
Bernardy, of the Fourteenth Hussars.
AS he was speaking his captain Joined
the party, and there was an expression
OF excited satisfaction about both, but
no staggering. After a few minutes,
piauets were detached to each avenue,
and the men started on a gallop, but
soon returned with reports. Bernardy
sat coolly, strokng the name Of his
1 ,,..k Ii, pal,ra the
rapidly growing crowd which his arrival
had provoked. More hussars soon
came riding up, and by haltpast eight
the whole squadron assembled on the
neuilly side Of the arc. A mob OF two
hundred looked on with a mixture
of indifference and Indignation, but
there was no external 81 IN OF rage. At
a quarter Of nine the staff arrived, with
General Kamicka in front, followed by
fiftv officers, with all kinds of arms and
all sorts OF uniforms. They did not
stop, but rode down the Champs Ely
sees to the house Of Queen Christina,
where their headquarters were establish
ed. One of the officers, Count Wolden-
see. halted to shake hands with one OF
our group, an Englishman. They chat
ted a few minutes, but directly after the
Prussians had passed, this gentleman
was attacked by three men in blouses,
but he managed to keep his temper.
Three hundred yards behind the staff
came battalion of the Eighty-eighth,
with drums and flies. Then came
troops of blue dragons, whose regi-
mental lumber | couldn't see. Then
marched a mixed detachment OF Bavar-
ians, composed OF infantry and cavalry,
followed by two hundred men Of every
variety of the Prussian line. A corps
consisting of about a dozen officers OF
artillery at the head of a little column,
which was closed by some thirty red
horses and containing altogether proba-
bly, 1000, brought up the rear. By
quarter past nine the whole body had
passed the Arc de Triomphe, and was
descending the Elysees. Several hun
dred were now assembled, but no real
crowd. All seemed tranquil and
the people manifested little all
temper. At q quarter past ten the
patrol of hussars came back from the
Arc and trotted to Porte Maillot. At
the same moment half-dozen infantry
soldiers turned the corner Of the avenue,
closed and posted sentry at the Place
near the avenue Del lmperatrlce, then
entered the Rue de Prcsbourg and began
billeting the houses surrounding the
Place de la Etolle, whose doors were
all open on that street. The moment
the solitary sentry was observed, the
mob surrounded him, gazing and gaping
like so many children At this time
the crowd began to increase in the rear
of the Palais dlndustrie, where the
troops halted. Women began to appear
in passion at the novel sights, so IRE
sistible to Partisan females. The men
present were mainly foreigners. At the
.Pont du Jour only few dragons had
entered up to ten o'clock. No advance
guard had been pushed forward. The
Bois de Boulogne is entirely deserted,
except here and there on the corner OF
the main avenue hussar sat Ike a
statue on his horse, Small patrols Of
cavalry passed occasionally along the
lake. Troops were passing in some
number from eight o'clock through the
Bois de Boulogne and marching towards
Port Neuille. These had crossed the
Seine on a pontoon bridge laid last night
near Pont du Jour The inhabitants
of Bois de Boulogne are perfectly good
humored.
VERSAILLES, March 1.-The Emperor
and Empress just returned from Longe-
hamps, where they inspected the Sixth
and Eleventh Prussian and First Ba-
varian corps, 10000 strong. The
troops looked in excellent condition.
The advance guard entered Paris at
s o'clock in the morning without any
disturbance.
LONDON, March There was much
agitation in several quarters of Paris last
night. Barricades were erected in the
northern and eastern Faubourgs. 1t is
stated that they are only guarantees
lest the Germans should overstep as
signed limits OF occupation. The Gov
ernor of Paris is represented to have said
that he could only rely upon certain
number Of the NatioLal Guard and
troops OF the line for interposition be-
tween the Germans and populace.
The Opinions NationaIc says the meet
ing of the German Parliament has been
postponed until the 10Th OF March
