the French army. This is now O histori-
cal fact, and when we come to examine
on the spot the plan of Wellington, we
are bound to admit that the criticisms
OF the defeated Napoleon thereon are
paltry indeed. The poor emperor was
led into trap, and he was SO well caught
IN 1t that he never appears to have un-
derstood the causes of his defeat. I do
not intend to describe the engagement,
but having studied the official documents
and the field of battle, do not hesitate
to say that Napoleon showed as little
prudence and discernment in his at
tempt Of 1916 &c he evinced moral sense
in his return from Elba. His strategy
was scandalous and pitiful. T
should like to know what genius there
was in throwing masses of men one
against the other. And yet there was
nothing else. Napoleon was the ham
mer and Wellington the anvil; the whole
used up the first. "Ah if
the Prussians had not arrived |" cry
some. No doubt; but they we're bound
to arrive; Wellington expected them
three hours earlier than they appeared.
Napoleon was the only man who did not
expect them; he thought he had ami
hilated them at Lignyl "Ah, if Grouchy
had only arrived |" No doubt, again !;
but unfortunately Napoleon himself had
ordered him to pursue the remnants -
of the Prussian army, while he himself
was to settle Wellington. y
Military critics, such as Jomini and
Charras, take oil kinds of petty excep-
tions to the plan of Napoleon, but the
truth Is that the emperor, having aroused
the coalition of Europe against him,
went into Belgium like blind man feel
| ing his way; that he neither knew nor
suspected the strength of his enemies:
that he guessed nothing Of their plan !;
that, full of contempt for the two Eng
lish and Prussian generals, he took no
account of their combinations; while
what he called in them military faults
were the result of deep calculation.
Thus, at noon, in giving the signal for
battle, he said: "We have two chances
to one." On their side, Wellington and
Butcher said: "We hold him now l'
And when we read history attentively,
we must be Of their opinion. =
OF what use, however, to talk of the
faults and deceptions of the emperor 2
Wellington and Blucher had also theirs
In war, as at cards, faults and mistakes
are always made. Balance the faults of
one against the faults of the other, and
you will arrive at the inglor1ous con-
clusion that victory sided with the big

100000 Made in Two MOnths-A Wall
Street OperatiOn..

The banking house Of Alex Frothingham &
Co., IL Wall street, who deal in stock privi-
leges, have paid this enormous sum to their
customers during this short space Of time.
Some persons have made as high rs S6,OCO
from only 300 originally invested, and many
have made 1000 and over from only $50.
They paid in single day over $40 900, for
which only $4,000 were received, or $37,O 900
net profit to various people. They employ con-
tlnuously from twelve to fifteen competent
bookkeepeis and assistants. With this strong
force they are often compelled to remain at
their work till midnight. This energetic firm
well deserves the credit of being the leading
house in their branch OF business, and it is
most wonderful to acknowledge that they have
established this business in the short space OF
five years. They have customers who reside
in nearly every State Of the Union, also the
Dominion Of Canada-even from the Island of
Cuba they receive orders from persons who are
continually dealing III stocks. Their business
has become so extensive that two experienced
correspondents are employed to attend to their
advertising accounts. Their cards may be
read in every first-class newspaper published
in tho United States. To this they attribute
portion of their success. We advise those de-
string to place their business with firm pos
sessing the very highest record for upright
ness, and who conduct their business upon
honest principles, to deal with this house.
They also issue weekly report of the condi-
tion OF affairs in Wall street, which they are
glad to mail free, for opa year, to any one who
desires and contemplates speculsting. Send

Vinegar Bitters.

The great merit of Vinegar Ritters has
made them the leading medicine of the
day, and respectable druggists every
where write "They are the best and
most popular preparation in the market. I"
They have stood tho test of public
opinion and won confidence. They sell
rapidly because they cure. If you are
sick you want reliable medicine. Vine
gar Bitters commend themselves to the
ailing and afflicted, rs they are deficient
in one thing alone, viz: the stimulant
that unduly excites the brain, and creates
morbid thirst for spiritsl There is no
phase of indigestion, biliousness, nerv-
GUS disease, or physical debility, in
which they will not effect a cure. In
vallds who are wasting away from q want
of proper action in the liver, stomach
and bowels, will find them a constitu,
tional specific, and fountain of vitality
and vigor as refreshing and exhilarating
as cool, gushing spring OF water to the
parched and fainting traveller in the
desert.

A French View Of Waterloo.

The eighth volume of the "Corre-
spondence de p. j. Proudhon" contains
q curious and interesting letter ON the
battle of Waterloo. The subject is not
new, but the opinions of the celebrated
French thinker a-e none the less worth
reading. Subjoined are few of the
most salient passages: Several weeks
before the battle, Wellington, who ex-
Belgium, had explored the route from
Brussels 20 Charferot. He took note of
the position Of Mont Saint-Jeen and,

A Dead B BOdy Found.

On yesterday NJ. Henry Mutt, un-
der rather startling circumstances
found the dead body of Lewis Foy, a
colored man who had not been seen
since Saturday last. Mr.. Mutt was
showing one of his houses which he
wished to rent to a proposed tenant.
When he took hold of the knob of the
door OF the house, on Cambe}l street
which had been occupied by the de-

door by reason of the latch falling
downwards, come open aud disclosed
the dead body Of the missing man,
which had become exceedingly often
sive from incipient putrefaction.
Coroner Hewlett being sick md un-
able to discharge the duty, Justice
Thos NJ. Gardner, was appointed
special coroner to hold an inquest and
ascertain the cause of the death of the
deceased.
A jury having been summoned and
sworn, went to view the dead body,
and after hearing all the testimony
procurable, gave as their verdict that
ssthe deceased came to his death by

The Athletic CluD.

The members of tn is club are max
ing every preparation for another grand
exhibition on New Years Day. Some
of them are practising assiduously at
the various games, and we may expect
to see on that occasion an exhibition
of greater proficiency and skill than
was shown at their opening.
On Christmas day the members of
tn 8 popular club turned out in pretty
strong force, to take part in the diff
ferent exercises prepared for the holi-
day. One of the leading features of
these exercises, was the rifle match,
at two hundred yards. which was en-
tered into with a zest, with the fol-
lowing result:
WF Hargrave-26.
W Fyfe-19.
Brown-1S.
A Hohenstem-15.
81 G Smallbones-14.
L T Belden-11.
r u Cave-94.
JE Crow-9.
w r Keenan-6.
T Rankin-5.
VB Rankin-2.
E Lilly.
From the above score it will be seen
that Mr.. w. +. Hargrave was the
winner.
After the target practice, then came
off the event of the day, which was q
shooting match for turkeys. Twenty
seven of the birds were at hand for the
! winners. and q more blood-thirsty SET
| was never seen than were the contest
ants for these innocent gobblers.
Every member of the club. except the
Marshal in charge, took part in the
sport, and they seemed determined tc
bankrupt the club, as each one wanted
turkey at ten cents, the price for 6
shot, which was little less than the
gobblers cost apiece. The match wa.
manag I'd in this wise. A turkey was
placed in a box with slit in the toE
sufficiently large for the turkeys neck
but not large enough for his head tt
be drawn down within the box. The
body of the turkey was protected from
the bullets by bank of sand being
thrown up in front of the box, th'
marksmen standing fifty yards from
the box, and shooting at the turkey
head. Any one drawing the least drol
of blood claimed the turkey, and a

lives in Wythe county Va, They are
of the pure Cashmere breed, and are
as beautiful as they ARE novel in this
latitude, weighing the Billy TIVE
hundred and sixteen pounds, and the
eve one hundred pounds, with spiral
horns, eighteen inches long, fleece ex-
ceedingIy fine and long, and as white
as the driven snow. They habitualiy
go with the cattle, and seem to have a
fondness for the protection of young
calves from the attacks of dogs. The
Billy has a way of butting the COWS
to make them follow him out to the
pasture.
This, if followed up with attention,
may prove to be the beginning of an
important industry for this section.
