Napoleon. Aide.de.C.mp'. Memoirs.

The extraordinary revival of interest in Napo-
leonic literature has caused a republication OF
the Memoirs ~ Gen. dc Stgtr. which formed
one of the eight volumes that appeared in 1873,
just after the authors death. That work under
took to set forth a complete history OF Napoleon,
on the one hand. and. on the other. the writer's
personal recollections. The latter are now. for
the first time, issued in a separate form paris.
Firmin-Didot ct Cic). The book is an In
dispensable complement OF Meneval's rcmi-
niscences, for. while Menevnl revealed Ma
poleon as he appeared In his workroom to
his private secretary, Segur shows him
to us on the field OF battle. and helps us TO APP
preciate the combination of qualities which
made him on the whole the greatest commander
that the world has ever seen. We can only
direct attention at this time to q few of the facts
and reflections set down by an eye witness In
this volume Of 45o pages, but we can follow the
author in his capacity Of aide-de-camp as far as
the great victory at Austerlitz. We do not
know whether these memoirs have ever been
separately published In an English translation.
but it is certain that. II they have hitherto been
unknown to English readers, they should remain
SO no longer.

TO the doctrine Of evolution was originally de-

this volume. but the threads Of the aryumenta-
tion arc ultimately drawn together I'm n connect

distribution OF living and extinct animals has
been brought about. Tn. author conceiycs that
distinct provinoes OF the distribution of ter

corded. and possibly much earlier, and

Tho author Of these memoirs accompanied
Napoleon az aide dc camp through tho cam
paigns OF Tim and Austcrli,z. which really
formed a continuous series OF operations. but
which, by an imperial decree, were to count for
the soldiers as two campaigns. IL Is we'll known
that the outcome OF the first campaign was not
only tho surrender Of Tim by Marshal Mack,
but the loss of an Austrian force amounting to
$4,000 men which had been commanded by
that General. IL is also known that all the Ope-
rations tending to this result had been planned
I'm detail beforehand, and were punctually
carried out. The scheme was the same as that
AZ MarengO, but much less rash. There were no
Alps to traverse or repass. and Napoleon had
far more soldiers at his disposal than had Mack.
instead Of an army weaker by one-half than
that Of Melos; there was, moreover. the greatest
difference between the Austrian Generals. In
the campaign OF which Tim was the pivot sue
cess was due not only to the remarkable stra-
tegic and tactical skill Of Napoleon. but TO the
inconceiysble stupidity and irresolution Of his
adversary. Several incidents Of which Segur
was an eyewitness show how Napoleon endear-
ed himself 10 his soldiers. In a desperate con-
Met which took place at the foot OF Michel's
Berg, the real rampant OF Tim, the Emperor
had advanced 10 a point where he found
himself surrounded by the dead and wound
ed. With d~iniculty he made his way through
them, when. hearing the wounded interrupt
their grOans 20 greet him with their accustomed
sAlutations, he stopped. Among the dying was an
artillerymRn whose hip had been shot on. The
Emperor noticed 1t, approached, and. dstachinE
his own star OF the Legion OF Honor, put Il In
his hands, saying; Take IT, 1t belongs 10 you.
as well as a place in the Hotel des Invalides.

HI.

In a lecture on the formation OF coal. delivered
a the Philosophical Institute In Brad ford, the
author reviews the main facts connected with
the origin OF this substance and its accumula-
ton during the carbOniferous epoch. and finds
that they suggest the following considerations
In the first place, the great phantom OF geolOgi-
cal time rises before the student of this as OF
every other fragment of the history ofthe earth,
sprlnging irrepressibly out OF the facts, like the
Dim from the jar which the fisherman 80 In
cautiously opened. and, like the DJinn again.
being vaporous, shifting, apd indefnable, but
Enthusiastically gigantic. However cautious and
modest may be the bases of ones calcula-
tions. the minimum OF time assignable TO the
coal period remains something stupendous.
II, for instance, we adopt Principal Dawson's
conservative assumption that one foot of coal
represents nifty generations OF coal plants, and,
further, make the moderate suppOsltion that
each generation OF coal plant took ten years to
come to maturity, then each foot thickness Of
coal represents hve hundred years. Now, the
s-uperimpOsed beds Of coal in ono coal field may
amount TO a thickness of fifty or sixty feet, and
therefore the coal alone Ia that period repre-
sents Ave hundred multiplied by %hfty-that is TO
ray, twenty-five thousand years. The actual
coal, however, is but an Insignificant portion OF
the total deposit, which may amount TO between
two and three miles of vertical thickness.
suppose II be twelve thousand feet. which
Is gao times the thickness of the actual
coal, Is there any reason why NO should
believe IL may not have taken $40 times as long
to toHm7 Mr.. Huxley knows OF none. But. in
this case, the time which the coal fields repre-
sent would be six million years. AS ahording
a definite chronology, Of course, such calcutta
tons IS these are valueless; but they have much
use in hIing ones attention upon a possible
minimum.
Another consideration which the study OF
coal brings prominently before tho mind is
that the coal fora, viewed in relation TO the
r period OF time which IL lasted,
and to the still vsstsr period which has
elapsed since It nourished, underwent little
change while Il endured, and. in it's
peculiar character. differs strangely lit
Ito from that which at present exists.
The same species OF plants are TO be met with
throughout the whole thickness OF the coal held.
and the youngest are not sensibly different from
the Oldest. More than this; Notwithstanding
that the carbOniferOus period Is separated from

ing that there was room enough for every one
that he was cold and wounded, that he was well
off there. and meant TO stay. Napoleon hearing
this. broke into laughter, nnd ordered them to
iesve the boy upon his chair; 50 that the En-
peror and drummer lay there sleeping opposite
each other surrounded by q circle Of Generals
and great dignitarIes standing upright ard
awaiting orders.
II seems that after the surrender Of Tim,
while the long line Of Austrian soldiers defiled
between the French ranks. the Emperor kept
near him the Austrian Generals. His demcanor
and Language were gentle. kindly, even caress-
ing. He rought to console them for their re-
verses, and said TO them that war had It's
chances. that having often been cnnquerors they
should be able to console themselves for being
sometimes conquered. that this war In which
their master had engaged them was unjust and
groundless, and that frankly he knew not why he
fought or what was desired Of him. There came
a moment when one ofthese Generals, observing
that Napoleon's uniform was covered with mud,
referred 10 the hardships which he must have
suffered in the campaign. Your MASTER re-
piled tho Emperor. smiling, wished to remind
me that | was a soldier; ! hope he will admit
that the imperial purple has not caused me TO
forget my trade II seems that Mack was n
witness Of this scene. One OF the French OIL
GERS, curious 10 see the victim Of so great a mis-
fortune. asked the General himself, whom he
did not know. 20 point out the Austrian COM
mandcr. The Field Marshal replied, You see

In the rase Of Bazaine at Metz. has a fortress de-

not only the reproaches Of tho Fsubourg ST. Ger
main which SeRur had TO confront; he had also
to return TO Chatenay, where his family were
living In humble circumstances, to give an
account Of his performance to his grandfather,
the old Marshal de segur. The author tells us he
got there carly in the morning and approached
the old mans bed in tho most submissive stti-
tude. You have turned your back" said the
Marshal, Mt first coldly, ION all the ira
ditlons Of your ancestors; but what is done Is

tears, the old mans voice trcmbled, and with
his sole remaining hand taking his grandson's he
him to his heart. Then giving him
twenty louis, almost all he had In the world, he
added: Here, take this TO help complete your
