LAST USE OF AFsMOR.
It Was In 100 and Was Picturesque and
DiabOIieaI Scene.

In January, 1859, at the town Of
Aquilla, in the Abruzzo, then held by
a garrison of 400 French troops, the
peasants broke into the town, and,
though they were driven out by the
French, they continued to give serious
trouble. They even drove the French
into the fort and made ready to bonn
bard them with heavy guns. The French
were in an awkward position.
Boulert, the officer of artillery, ran.
sacking his brains for the means of send
ing out men to spike the guns on the
glacis, under the fire of the insurgents
from the neighboring houses, suddenly
remembered that he had seen in his
magazine some suits of plate armor, and
he proposed to try whether, protected
by them, men could not sally out and
work i'll security under the musketry
fire. He got together 12 complete suits
and dressed out IL gunners and grena-
diers thus, selecting big men, be it re-
marked. At a certain hour the garrison
lined the covered way, and from thence
and from the fort opened a steady fire
of musketry and of artillery on the lines
of the insurgents.
Then out marched the 10 knights Of
the eighteenth century, much in Da-
vid's state of nina when be complained
he had not proved his armor. The men
carried handspikes, hammers and spikes.
Moving naturally slowly and awk-
wardly in their heavy steel mail, still
they succeeded i'll completing their work
under hail of bullets from the insur-
gents. The scene is described, as we
can well believe, to have been most re-
markable and to have had something
picturesque and also diabolical about it.
AS the mailed figures moved in 81
lence among the guns, their handsplkes
looking like maces, their silence and
the slowness of their actions seemed
unnatural under the steady hail of bull
let's The insurgents were believed to
have thought hell itself had sent forth
these extraordinary antagonists, ghosts
of past age, while the French on the
ramparts, true to their nature, the first
moment of anxiety over, burst into roars
of laughter.-Phipp's 'Marshals of Ma
