NAPOLEON THE GREAT.
Description by One Who Saw Him at
Borodino.


sian army, is one of the few men now
living who saw the great Napoleon on a
battlefield. The old General saw the
French Emperor at Borodino. At that
battle Yakovitch, then a mere boy,
served with a battery in the grand re-
doubt, which was the center of the
Russian line. He gives a vivid descrip-
ton of the battle. When morning
broke a sea of gray mist shut out the
| field from view The voices of the
enemy were heard, the neighing OF their
horses and the rumble of artillery
wheels. Then came the thunder Of can
non, making the very earth tremble.
Three times all the Russian gunners
were killed, and three times new men
took their places. Bullets few thick as

til it filled the air like the roar of
stormy sea. All at once a great wave
of bright swords and helmets and
horses heads came surging up over the
breast-Works. 1t was the Imperial
Guard. Before the shock Of that mighty
wave the Russian center crunbled
away, a shattered wreck. When Yako-
witch came to his senses and opened
his eyes, he saw around him the corpses
of his father and his comrades. Sud-
denly the tramping Of hoofs called his
attention to a group Of gayly-dressed
officers, and Napoleon's staff came rid
ing over the field. The young Russian
peered anxiously into their faces. In
his graphic language:
There We're the hard faces of Rapp
and Darn and broad-chested Sebastian.

too, was Murat, with his white plumes
and his braided jacket, his long, dark
eurls hanging down his neck, and his
riding whip in his hand, just like a cir
Gus rider. And then the group parted
and there was the man hln-
self in the midst Of them, with his face
hard and immovable as marble amid all

mitting all questions not within
the scope OF legislative action
without comment.
The immediate cause of the
strike in the Hooking Valley
was a demand by the operators
of reduction from seventy to
sixty cents per ton for mining
coal. The miners refused to &C
cede to the demand, and there
upon all lett the mines. as they
had a right to do, either individ
ually or in a body, and the oper-
aiors no doubt had a right to
make the demand and persist In
ii as long as they chose. No
one would contend for a law that
undertook to compel the oper
ator to pay more or the miner to
receive less.
The question of the value of
service and what shall be paid
for it, must be left to the con-
trolling parties. and it will always
be controlled practically by the
law OF supply and demand.
The means often used by both
parties to consuma:e their pur-
poses, are generally destructive
to the interests of both, and this
result of itself will suggest and
often furnish its own remedy"
These conclusions may not be
very satisfactory to either party
to the contest, but it is to be
hoped that it will furnish some
suggestions for such legislative
action in the future as will more
clearly define the rights Of labor
and the responsibilities of capi
tai and bring them more nearly
into unison. w. A. T.
