HIS column was exposed to attack on the

vlgor and foresight to act up to the emer-
gency. Already orders had been given
from the French headquarters TO prepare
for retreat, and even the batteries so per-
sistently holding the Dutch in check along
the side of the angle had been told to aban-
don their ground The allies under Cum
beriand were astounded and all but par
aiyzed by their sudden success. They had
rushed into the center of the French army:
brigade after brigade of French infantry
had melted away before them; confusion
and inaction were everywhere noticeable in
the French camp. and Cunberiand's men
actually stood still in wonder and uncer-
talnty. Their surprise and inaction lasted
until the French recovered firm grip on
the situation. The commander of the four

mingled in Mrs. Blake's veins. She is de-
scended from Jonathan Edwards and re-
lated to Aaron Burr. She is a very gifted

sarcasm. Mrs. Blake has retired from
active warfare and only occasionally con-
ducts skirmish. She lives in pretty

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES,

A great discovery has been made at Pitts
burg, Pa, in the fusing of steel and nickel,
whereby results can be obtained which will
lessen the weight of armor clad ships one
half
The fastest vessel afoat is said to be the
3,200-ton English built warship intended
for the Argentine government. She made
21.2 knots under ordinary draught, and
pa knots with forced draught.
Austria has completed the arming of her
militia with small caliber repeating rifles,
model 1885, The new rifles now making in
the Steyr shops are merely to be packed
away in depots for cases of emergency.
The army of the United States consists
of 2,167 commissioned officers and a little
over 10000 private soldiers, exclusive of
those performing civilian duties. Thus
one-tenth of its force consists of its officers.
Ten Turkish captains were sent from
Constantinople to France to attend the
cavalry school at Fontainebleau. They
are the first Turkish officers sent since 1870
to France to get technical military instruc-
ton.
Japan has thirty-two war vessels-seven
steel ships, five iron ones and twenty
wooden. For the pay to army officers and
men the government expends yearly
81, SS3, 567, and the total expenses of both
services is s., 136, 400.
Italy had On June 80, $780, 9, $50, 495 names
on her army registers. OF the 3S0,515 men
drafted in the year ending with this date
1879 per cent. were found physically incap-
able of service. In the province Sondrio
the percentage of incapables reached its
maximum, 81 IS; in Berona its minimum,
S47.
Waterloo veterans seem to be more num-
erous outside of the British kingdom than
in it. France boasts a dozen, Germany
twice as many more, and Belgium two.
One of the Belgians is Chevalier George d.
Epinois, who now, at the age of ninety
seven, is burgomaster of the village of
Epinois les Binche.
Captain Horatio D. Smith, well known
as an efficient officer of the revenue marine
service, has been promoted TO the COM
mand of a cruiser in the navy. He is ma
tive of Massachusetts,, and comes of good
fighting stock. His great-grandfather
commanded a war vessel during the Revo-
luton, his grandfather lost leg at Lundy's
Lane, and his father fought in the Mexican
war

THE DUEL
them and fatally wounded many before the
| mistake was discovered. Even this did not
cause more than temporary wavering,
and the brigade soon saw their opponents
/ flying from the field OF the twenty cannon
with the Duke of Cumberland the brigade
made trophies of fifteen. They also took
two colors. The colors and two guns were
captured from the Coldstream guards by
Col Bulkeley's regiment.
| So quick was the change of scene after
the Irish got to work that contemporary
spoke of Cumberland's column as zen
chanted legions which were visible and in
visible at pleasure" 1t was an affair of
seven or eight minutes. The French war
minister who was on the spot with his king,
said, ''In ten minutes the battle was WOE"
The brigade lost 20 officers and 400 men
killed and wounded Clare's regiment had
its lieutenant colonel and 5 captains
killed, its major and s captains and
l lieutenant wounded. Dillon's regi-
ment lost its colonel, lieutenant colonel
and 3 captains killed, 3 captains and 8
Iieutenants wounded. Roth's regiment
had captains killed, and it's colonel and
captains wounded Berwick's regiment
.
lieutenants wounded. In Lally's regiment
3 Geutenants were killed and the colonel,
lieutenant colonel and major. 8 captains
and lieutenants were wounded. Fitz-
james Irish cavalry regiment, acting with
the horse, also lost heavily. Twenty-Five
officers Of this regiment were among the
killed and wounded.
Following the battle, which was a de-
cisive victory for the French campaign,
Louis XIV thanked the several Irish corps
In person. Honors and gratuities were
showered upon the surviving officers, and
when George " of England heard the de-
tails and realized that his son had been de-
feated By Irish gallantry he exclaimed,
Cursed be the laws which deprive me OF
such subjects"
The laws referred to were the penal and
anti-CathoIic measures adopted fer Ireland
after William of Orange made conquest Of

ascending toward the s4,isiir6 lines, eA,a
swept by CALLING fire from thousands OF
musketS and two cannon. Up the steep
they went without pulling trigger. TO DO
met by some of the crack troops of the
British army, among them the famous
Coldstream guards. The brigade wore
scarlet uniforms, and advancing in good
order called out in English, Steady, boyS
Forward! Charger so that the foemen
heard the rally and saw what was to come.
As the opposing lines came together
British officer advanced to the front an d
singled out Capt. Anthony McDonough
fog combat A sword duel was fought on
the spot, the soldiers on both sides nearest
the scene pausing to witness the fight.
McDonough finally disabled his foe and
sent him to the rear as a prisoner, while
his comrades sent up a tremendous shout
over the victory as an omen of good luck.
Following this incident the British let
loose their volleys of bullets, and for few
moments cut down the intrepid 1rishmen
like grain before the scythe. The COM
mander, Col. Clare, was hit twice. Col
Dillon was killed at the head of his regi-
ment, and scores of officers and hundreds
of men fell under this fire. Yet there was
scarcely a check to the impetuous move
ment of Erin's gallant sons. With their
famous Celtic slogan, Remember LINER
lex and Saxon perfdy," they rushed to
close quarters, thrusting their bayonets
into the faces of their antagonists before
firing shot.
Even in front of that blazing column the
bayonet, like the honest stick in scrim
mage, had more charms for the Irish lads
than the uncertain muzzle and fliut. They
could feel with their countryman who sang
of his encounter with Claude Duval:
His pistol it flashed,
But his head mashed,
Oh! shillelah, you never missed fire.
An unfortunate circumstance happened
at the outset that would have chilled the
ardor of less determined warriors. A bri-
gade of Freuchmen, installing the Irish in
their scarlet colors for the enemy, charged
