When History Repeats.

New York Herald)
The war correspondent Of the Cor
riere della Sierra reports this some
what astonishing fact.
a Few weeks ago he visited his
friend, a commanding colonel of a
French regiment, in his trench, which
was furnished with bare necessities
only. In a corner on a small table
lay the open volume of Common
tart Caesaris," which tn, visitor took
into his hand out of curiosity in order
10 see what passage the colonel had
just been reading. There he found
the description of the fight against
the Remer, who, at that time, lived in
the neighbOrhoOd of tn present city
of Rheims Principally with the aid
of his Numidian troops. Caesar at that
time had prevented the Remer from
crossing the River AXona, today call
