Maj. Gen. Yakovitch. of the Russian
army, is one of the few men now
living who saw the great Napoleon
on a battle field. The old soldier
saw the French emperor at Boro-
dino. At that battle, Yakovitch,
then a mere boy, served with battery
in the grand redoubt, which was the
center of the Russian line. lie gives g
graphic description of the battle.
When morning broke a sea of gray
mist shut cut the field from view. The
voices of the enemy were heard, the
neighing of their horses, and the rum
bling of artillery wheels. Then came
the thunder of cannon, making the
very earth tremble. Three times all
the Russian gunners were killed, and
three times new men took their places.
Bullets flew thick as hail, and men
dropped dead or wounded every mo-
ment.
At last strange sound was heard in
the distance, like rain pattering on
withered leaves. 1t grew louder and

shock of that mighty wave the Rus

When Yakovitch came to his senses
and opened his eyes, he heard the
trampling of hoofs, which called his at
tention to group of gayly dressed Off

over the field The young Russian
peered anxiously into their faces, and
thus describes what he saw:
There were the hard faces Of Rapp

across his cheek, and the low, broad
forehead and bulldog jaw of grim old
Ney, the bravest of them all There,
too, was Murat, with his white plumes

in his hand, just like circus rider.

saw Moscow somewhere up in the sky,
but could see nothing between.
