THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.

THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.
The battle field was vast undu-
lating plain, leading up to Mont St.
Jean, which is called the field Of
Waterloo. At 9 o clock the French
army moved in five columns; the ar
tillery between, the bands in front,
drums rafting, bugles sounding, a
mighty, powerful army, sea Of bay
onets and helmets. By 1890 O. clock
the whole army took up position
and was drawn up in six lines. The
first cannon shot was fired Is
minutes to IL. The battle COM
menced furiously; at 4 clock in the
afternoon the situation Of the English
army was serious. Their losses had
been terrible. Picton had been killed.
Three thousand combatants had
been massacred; the Scotch Creys
no longer existed; Ponsonby's heavy
dragons were cut to pieces and he
had fallen pierced by seven lance
wounds. Gordon and March were
dead. The fifth and sixth divisions
were destroyed. The English army,
however, was strongly situated on
the plateau Of Mont St. Jean. Along
the Center Of the crest of this plateau
ran a deep ditch or sunken road,
which was invisible even at short
distance. This trench or ditch con-
'nected two Belgian villages, and was
known as the hollow road of Ohain.
In certain places along the route be-
tween hills, it became rayine. A
little after 4 o'clock. the English line
fell back all at once, from the plateau
into hollow. Wellington is re-
treating" Napoleon shouted, as he
half raised himself in his stirrups, and
with the fash Of victory in his eyes,
he concluded to complete Yelling
tons supposed retreat by an over
throw, and gave orders for his mag
nihcent body Of Cuirassiers Cavalry
to charge the plateau Of Mont St.
Jean.

At the mint In Philadelphia are a
number of coins far more precious
than any which 6nd their way into
circulation. They are collection Of
cur.,s. and many Of them date from
times OF great antiquity. Perhaps the
most interesting among them Is a
handsome coin bearing on Its face the
lrofile of woman which has a strik-
Ing resemblance to the goddess Of
Liberty Of our own currency. Under
meath is the single word Demos"
which Is the Greek for people, On
the reverse Of the coin Is a beautiful
figure Of the goddess Diana arching
her bow. and the inscription trans.
lated into English reads. "Diana.
Friend Of the Philadelphians."
The coin was minted more than
1000 years ago at the city Of Philadel.
phia. In Asia Minor. where there grew
up In later years one Of the seven
churches of which St. John writes.
The prize was discovered some years
ago In Europe by citizen Of our own
Philadelphia. himself an authority on
coins. By him 1t was appropi lately
presented to the mint in Philadelphia.

J. E. Boehm. the sculptor, once met
Gladstone at a country house and was
Immensely impressed by the extent
and diversity of the statesman's knowl.

Boehm was still full of the subject
when the morning arrived for Carlyle's
sitting for bust. and to the philoso-
pher the sculptor poured forth his ad-
miration for Gladstone's intimate ac-
quaintance with subjects so far apart

tened for time in scornful silence;
then he said. And what did he say
about your work. "Oh, nothing"
said Boehm. HE doesn't know any
thing about sculpture" "Of course"
growled- Carlyle. "of course, and he
showed his knowledge about things
that you didn't understand. No doubt

NAPOLEONS LAST CHARGE.

There were $500 gigantic men
mounted on colossal horses, forming
twenty-six squadrons. The whole
Of this cavalry, with raised swords,
with standards flying, charged across
the formidable valley in which so
many men had already fallen, and in
the face Of fierce cannonading and
tremendous canister fire, traversed
the battle field like flash, ascending
the frightful muddy incline of the
plateau Of Mont St. Jean. Behind
the crest of the plateau, in a
hollow, in the shadow of a masked
battery, thirteen English squares
were waiting with their muskets
calm, dumb and motionless, for what
was coming. Then appeared above
the crest long line Of raised arms,
bfandishing sabres; a sea of helmets;
a stormy bounding Of horses; the
clang Of cuirasses, bugles and stand
ards, and 5000 deep toned voices
shouting, Long live the Emperor.
On reaching the top Of the crest, all
at once, horrible to relate, the CUR
asseurs noticed between them and
the English, an awful trench; it was
the sunken road Of Ohain. 1t was a
frightful moment; the ravine was
there a grave, yawning, unexpected,
almost precipitous, beneath the
horses feet, with depth Of twelve
feet and more between its two sides
There was no possible means of
escaping. The ranks behind thrust

slipped with all four feet in the air.
Men and horses rolled into the
trench pell-mell, crushing each other;
and when this grave was full oflivinp

men and horses, the rest passed over
them. This commenced the loss OF
the battle. Sixty guns and the
thirteen English squares, Numbered
shot and shell at the Cuirasseurs at
point blank range. The Cuirasseurs
with ranks diminished did not have
a moment for reflection, and rushed
at the English squares at full gallop,
with hanging brides, sabres in their
mouths, and pistols in their hands;
their great horses reared, leaped
over the bayonets and landed in the
center Of the four living walls. The
aspect Of this combat was appalling.
Both armies were near exhaustion.
At 5 o'clock Wellington looked at
his watch and was heard to exclaim,
Butcher or night" 1t was this
moment that distant line Of bayo-
nets glistened on the heights; it was
Butcher. The rest is known. The

ments; the whole English line
resuming the offensive, and pushing
forward; the gigantic gaps made in
the French army by the combined
English and Prussian batteries; with
disaster and determination in front,
with disaster on the flank the whole
army suddenly gave away on all
sides, in utter rout and confusion;
friends killing each other, in order
to escape; squadrons and battalions
dash against and destroy each other;
soldiers unharness horses from
caisons and escape on them; wagons
overthrow, block up the road; men
crush and trample over the dead

men, wild with terror. No comrades,
no officers, no generals recognized.
All indescribable rout and confusion.
Such was this fight. Amid the fear
full CONFUSION, deserted by the
balance Of the army the hero's of
twenty victories, the Grenadiers Of
the Old Guard, with their tall bear
skins, entered the battle field,
