| TONED on the hillside to re,ist the French
advance beyond the bridge should they
succeed In crossing its I'll : Napoleon saw
That the Austrian infantry had backed
away from his death dealing canponade
along the river brink, and that, with the
exception Of Il skirrnish line and the few
artillerists who handled the Austrian can
non, his own troops were the nearest to the
enemy's stronghold.
Ii the French charge could carry beyond
the hery Lodi end Of the bridge the storm
ing column could rush across and up the
nclghts and overpower the artillersts be
iore the Austrian infantry could take
alarm and come to tho rescue of their bat
tories These were simple matters when
once thought Of but no one did think, and
act as well, except Napoleon.
But this was not ALL Nothing was to
mlscarry If possible to foresee il. The at
tack was delayed until AuRereau sdivision
got near enough on the march to support
IL II need be- Then the finA preparations
were made. A solid storming column Of
1000 grenadiers was massed near the head
OF the bridge with a battalion OF 800 foot
carbneers, or light infantry, In front. The
ranks were the exact width of the bridge,
and were so arranged that at the word
"ForwardW the leading sections could
wheel from the cover of the rampant wall,
cross the shot ridden space around the
gateway at a single spring, and then make
the run along the causeway to the Austrian
side quite free from danger. Napoleon
went among the troops and spoke familiar
and encouraging words. 1t was the striking
contrast between his slight figure and the
massive grenadiers who stood In the front
ranks that suggested the nickname Of
Little Corporal" He looked like little
boy in such company.
1t was late in the afternoon, or I
o'clock when the sound Of Beaumont's
guns at the distant ford resounded
through the valley, and the Austrians at
once showed signs Of uneasiness. Napo-
leon quickly ordered the charge. Drums
beat the signal Forward" the foremost
assailants issued from behind the ram
parts, wheeled under terrible hail of
grape and canister and attempted to pass
the gateway to the bridge. The front
ranks went down like a row Of grain
stalks before the reaper, the column stag
gered and reeed backward, and the val
liant grenadiers were appalled, by the task
before them But this emergency had also
been provided for. The moment the
charge sounded, force Of sharpshooters
that had crept along the river walls and
down the bridge piers, and otherwise made
their way unseen to the water below
emerged from their cover and by swim
ming and wading reached the rocks and
islands in the stream and opened fire upon
the Austrian gunnera Seeing this, the
grenadiers took courage and rallied for
another attempt, To crown all, Napoleon
placed himself at their head, and his aids
and generals-Cervoni, Dallemagne, Der
thier, Massena and Lannes-rushed to his
side,

Matt Graham salted so artistically that
British company has eagerly wasted
over 81 ,000, 900 upon it in Idaho, has at
last been abandoned as absolutely worth
less. Not single pay streak could be
found; nothing but barren country
rock, through which four thousand feet
g of shafts and tunnels have been driven
by the hopeful miners. The splendid
mining and milling machinery, the origi-
nal cost of which ran away up into
the hundreds of thousands. and the
transportation of which, into that al
most inaccessible country, cost a gener-
GUS fortune, has all been abandoned,
and the superintendent will now pro-
