was charged with Lithuanian tempests.
Hail was his grape and shrapnel. The
Emperor Of the French had never studied
his tactics-not even in the Alps.
The Russian summer was as midwinter
to the soldiers of France and Spain and
Italy The divisions of Jerome and Eu-
gene could hardly advance at oil. The
bowling storms made impossible the un-
graded roads; the 1900 guns of the Grand
Army sank into the miro. Horse-life and
MANTLE fell and persisted in the slect of
the mock-summer that ragged along the
watershed between the Dwina and the
Dnicper.
The Russians under Kutusoff receded
during July and the first half Of August.
On the 10th of that month the first battle
was fought at Smolensko. This place tho
French pounded into ruins and captured
with loss to themselves of nearly II, 900
men. Dorogobourg, Wanna and Gjatsk
fell before the invaders. The Russians
burst not stand in the open field. Not un-
til the 9TH of September did Kutusoff
plant himself on the Moskwa and offer
battle TO his antagonist. There, at the viii
lage of Borodino, was fought out the great
est murder of modern times. A thousand
cannon vomited death all day. Under the
smoke quarter of million OF men strug-
gled like tigers. At nightfall the French
had the field. But the defeated Russians
hung sullenly to the skirts of the bloody
arena, where they had left more than 40, =
600 of their dead and wounded. The
French losses were almost equally appall-
ing. "Sire, said Marshal Ney, 1--WE would
better withdraw, and reform. Thou ad-
wise retreat, Michel?" said the marble
A. n II
ties.
Kutusoff abandoned Moscow Most of
the inhabitants receded with him from the
city to the great plains eastward. On the
18th of September, Napoleon entered the
ancient capital. The streets were as a ne
cropolis. All was silence The conqueror
took up his residence in the old palace Of
the Cars. He had now performed this act
in nearly all the royal places of Europe.
He had walked unbidden into Schon-
brunn. In the vault at Potsdam he had
put his hand on the catafalque Of Freder-
lex the Great. He had trod the unwelcom-
ing slabs of the Escurial He had win
tered in Warsaw. Now he slept in the
Kremlin.
Moscow promised rest after hardship.
Here we will spend the winter in the lux
urious quarters Of the Muscovite grandees
and metropolitans. We will extemporize
our theaters, as In Cairo. Beautiful wom-

cdicts, as from Berlin and Milan. 10, out

XX.-FRoM DRESDEN TO ELLA VIA Mos
COW.
In the early spring of 1919 Napoleon had
his court In Dresden. Pageantry could go
no further than was witnessed there. He
was surrounded with retinue of veritable
kings and princes. The princesses were
there also, headed by the mother OF the
King of Rome. Emile Bayard has painted
for posterity one of the Imperial recep-
tions. Fashion and gallantry and royal
state could rise no higher. Meissonier has
added to his Napoleonlc cycle picture Of
the advance of the Grand Army"
On the goth Of May, the march to the
Niemen began. More than half million
of men, gathered from nearly n score OF
nations moved forward. The cynical Bour-
rienne says that sixteen races, like so
mann chained dogs, advanced on Russia.
The military genius of all Central and
Western Europe was in the train. Napo-
leon was backed by all the resources of Eu-
ropean civilization. He had his veterans
and his marshals. He had his underkings.
He had his genius, and the experience OF
more than fifteen years of warfare. He
knew that he was now going into battle
with an antagonist second only to Eng
land.
As for Russia she had savage forces,
vast domains, an assemblage of barbarous
peoples, inaccessible cities, impossible riv-
ers and illimitable steppes She had also
patriotism and physical hardihood. She
had the Cossacks. She knew herself; and
her enemy knew her not. She had winter
sublime, yellow black winter, blown
out of the hyperborean caverns, unfelt by
the men of Western Europe. She had
frozen mercury in her thermometers, and
soldiers who would not fall when their
brains were out!
On the cath of June, the Grand Army,
crossing the Niemen, headed towards Mos
cow. The advance was but little impeded.
The Russians fell back before the resist
less invaders. Soon, however, a new COM
mander appeared on the someone with
whom Napoleon was unfamiliar. 1t was
Field-marshal Nature. Marshal Nature
had an army that the Old Guard had never
confronted. His commission was probably
from God. His herald was frost, and his
aide de-camp was zero. One of his army
corps was snow. His believing artillery

Messrs Burr ard Hamilton, the two

the past two weeks collecting data for
the publication of an Illustrated RerieU
OF st. Landry Parish, will, during the
coming week, visit Washington, Sunset,
Grand Coteau, Vile Plate and other
set tlements throughout the parish.
Iney inform US that with but very
few exceptions every merchant, busi-
ness and professional man of any conse-
quence iD OpeIousas has contributed to-
wards the compilation of their work,
and that when completed it will contain
the faces OF every prominent citizen in
the parish, together with illustrations Of
residences and business blocks.
No business man in this city should be
omitted, as coming generations will ap-
preciate and preserve this work, from
the fact that it will contain so much
that would otherwise never find its way
irto public records. 1t will stimulate
business, enhance property, and pro-
mote emigration, and is consequently
worthy OF support and patronage.
No more business firms in this city
will be visited by the above named gem
tlemen, as their time will he occupied in
other parts of the parish. Should there
be any among the few who have not
contracted for space in this publication
who desire to bave their portraits ap-
pear, they can have a representative
call on them by dropping a card 10 this
Office within the next five days.

On Saturday mislrial was entered in
the case of the State VS.. DR.. Martin, the
jury being unable to agree. The jury
stood ten for conviction Of fmaEslaughter
and two for acquittal-the two for uc-
quittal being Eli Mimms and Sebastien
Vidrine. The case was hotly contested,
Messrs. Dubuisson and FraZee making
a strong defense for their client, While
District Attorney Garland's prosecution
of the case was able and vigorous.
While the State failed TO secure a con-
viction in this case, yet the trial will re-
suit in good deal Of good to the com
munity, for it demonstrates beyond
doubt Chat large majority of our peo-
pie are opposed to reguIatOrism, and
Furthermore that tho authorities will
prosecute such offenses vigorously, no
matter how much influence the accused
may he able to bring forth. Both Judge
Dupr6 and District Attorney Garland
commanded the respect and admiration
OF our people for the manner in which
they conducted this most important
case, and it is safe to predict that under
the administration of these two officers,
law and order will hereafter prevail in
this parish. Late Saturday evening DR..
Martin was admitted to bail in the sum
of five thousand dollars.
