found full of troops and where he
saw the imperial standard floating

AS he rode under the walls and
halted, he looked up and saw the
emperor in the familiar gray coat
and three-cornered hat, with tele-

His own eyes naturally turned
that way, and he saw a sight he
never forgot, and which was one OF
the most fearful episodes of that
fearful battle.
Down in the valley, half a mile
off. was small lake, covered with
ice and black with Russian fugi-
tiyes, fleeing to the other side to
escape the ravages Of French guns.

These cranks have heretofore attracted

called "p~rofessers:" Cali particularly

prise that such stuff as this finds admir-
ers, but there are hundreds of people /,
mostly in Massachusetts, who affect to
understand much worse specimens of
transcendental rhetoric. 1t is a happy
omen for the west that such nonsense
finds no Judgment in her robust, vigor-

conquerors of savage nature and savage

something over $500, 600. They are on Shaw

creditors of Shaw & Bros. are rapidly plac-
ing attachments on the properly of that
firm, in the hope that Maine creditors will be
given preference over the creditors of other
States, as regards the property of the firm
in Maine. In this county the attachments
aggregate $72, 900. Other attachments upon
the property of the firm in other parts OF
the state aggregate 100000. There is con-

no suspension will be forced. The creditors
