" / •" 'This question was, put up by one of • Snumber of young soldiers who stood , •Bound Sergeant Manchot in the grounds at the Invnlides. The person addressed was an old, one-armed man, who seemed to think that a certain air of fierce, un­ coiling gravity most became a soldier of the empire; but who, it was well known, hid one of the kindliest hearts under the outer form of stern severity. On being thus questioned, he took a well-used pipe from lus mouth, slowly puffed out a column of smoke, drew himself as erect as age would permit him, and replied: ••Won my cross? Yes, mon enfant, Jon say right; in those days we had to win a cross--it was not given. It was worth winning, too. We didn't, with Hie Emperor, gain glory by fighting against one another. There were no barricades then--no battles in the streets of Paris. That great man, so wonder­ ful in liia genius, so indomitable in his courage, who always conquered, would not allow it; and let me tell you no one dared to do what he said he should not --•he soon made short work. "Ah! those were the days when we knew what true freedom was. There were none of your Republicans, your Orieanists, your old or your new parties. We were all Frenchmen then-^Freach- meo, do you hear me, my children ? It wfo against the enemies of la belle HVance we fought--against those who fated the great nation because it was so glorious. " Yes, it was against them we French­ men always fought; and when traitors did not betray us we always conquered. They could never defeat him, the Em­ peror, by fair means. Ah, with what glory he covered France ! " -• 'The old man's eyes glistened wifli en­ thusiasm, and his face glowed. "But all this is changed now," oon-* tinned the old soldier in a mournful tone. " France, shame upon her ! does not care what her enemies do. The Grand Army is no more. But you wish to know how I gained my cross. Well, I. will tell you, for it will show you what •man the Emperor was. " It was the 6th of November. For a long time our march had been fall of gory. The enemy had fled before us, r whenever he tried to stand we de­ feated him. We had reached Moscow-- that fatal city. We were to have win­ tered there. But what did these cow­ ardly villains of Russia do ? Why, as you know, they burnt down their town." " We were compelled to retreat; and a terrible march we had had, what with froet, snow and hunger. It was the 6th of November, I say. We had just fought the battle of Viazma, and won it of course. The Emperor, in his order of the day, said we had annihilated the enemy. Still we had to retreat, not be­ fore the Russians--no, we had crushed them, I tell you--but before the weather; It was terrible. Oh, what frost! It froze the very marrow in our bones. Oh. what snow ! It out our skins ; it blinded ns; we sank in it to our knees as we marched. We had been en route since 6 o'clock, and it was now past noon. An awful march it was. The ground over which we passed was strewn with our dead and dying. Not that we saw much of the foe--no, those we had not killed knew too well what they would get if they came near us. It was that terrible ooid and the empty stomachs that did for us. When these made any fall be­ hind the rascally Cossacks, hanging all •round us like a swarm of bees, either killed and plundered them, or, if they were at all able to walk, stripped them, •ncl then, tying them to their horses, made them run at their sides till they dropped from cold, hunger and fatigue. •6 Many of the officers and men in my eoBupaiiy had thus perished. All were dispirited--no song, no shout, no joke, and, what was worse than all, no grum­ bling. The suilenness and recklessness of utter despair had taken hold of us. " Our Captain was a terrible little man--not a braver one than he in the whole army. And then, you see, we wore all brave. He did not stand more than so high" (pointing to his shoulder), " but he would have his own way--he made us do it; if he said no, it was no; If yes, then yes; he would not change. "We oalled him Capt Teta, and, my faith! it was a good name, for he was obsti­ nate. ,s He had been a stout, red-faced man; but now, how changed 1--thin, pale and haggard. Nothing could, however, drive awav his look of firmness. He was hardly able to keep up with us; but he was determined not to give in as long •s he had life, and so on and still on he crawled He had wrapped his shoeless fleet in his handkerchiefs, which were now deeply stained with the blood that ooged from his wounds. Two or three times I had offered him flhy arm for his •upport, but he had refused it angrily. " ' What!' said he, • do you think I «au°t walk as well as another ? Am I a child ? Every one needs all Via strength for himself "At last he told me if I dared%oboth­ er. Mm with my offers to assist him he would have me punished severely. So what could I do ?--he always meant what he said. But, obstinate a® he was, he could not hold out any longer. With a faint cry of, • Ah, it is all over with me I "Vive 1'Emperear V he fell on the snow. "•AD over, my Captain? oh, no, not while Corporal Manchot is here!' "'Why, who is that? Is that you, JUnehot? Torn are not with ycur regi­ ment, how is that ? Leave me; my bat­ tles are all fought. But stay; here, take my cross and my purse, there is not mnch in it. I wish for her Bake there was more, but the Emperor will not for­ ge* her when yon reach Franee. Ah, la / me lem, belle Franoe 1 I shall not see you again! Go to Yoroppe, near Grenoble; there you will find an old woman 82 years of age; it is Bfadame Marlen, my mother. Kiss her for me on both cheeks, give her the purse and cross, and tell her how I died. Vive la Franoe 1 Vive 1* Em- pereur! Now go--jam your company, Adieu--go.' " ' Not unless I take yon with me. Gome.' "'Come! How can I come? Fort that yon are, don't yon see -1 cannot walk, or do yon think I should be lying here?' _ '"Nevertheless, come.* "With that I lifted him on my shoulder. "'What are you doing?. Put down, I tell you; pnt me down.' *' * Put you down? What! to He and me on the snow, or to be murdered by those thieves of Cossacks . and then stripped ? Oh, no, Captain, I shall not do that; you need not ask rae.' " 'Impudent rascal that yon ate ! I do not ask you, I order you; disobey me •t your peril.' " 'Excuse me, Captain, you need not trouble yourself to speak. See, you can do nothing--you are too weak to strug- *•' What! am I not tobeobeyed? Ah! if I survive this day you shall suffer for it By the word of Capt Tetu you shall.' "•Survive! Why not? Of course you shall. I'll carry you safe. Survive! ma foil And I, Corporal Mauchot, here!' " ' Villain! lay mo down, I say. What? yon won't. Oh, you know you wou!d not dare to treat me so if I was strong ; but, alas! I am weak, and yon take * base advantage of me.' •" Well, Captain, let me have my own way now; when you are strong again I will obey you, as 1 have always done.' " • Rascal that you are!' "All this while I was trudging on as well as I could, and that was very badly. It was hard enough to walk when I had only myself to carry, but with the Cap­ tain on my shoulders it was a little more difficult. My company was now out of sight; it was of no use trying to over­ take them--that was impossible. All around me stretched an immense, tree­ less, snow-covered plain. Nothing Was to be seen upon its wild waste but the black patches and the little mounds which showed where the dead and dying were. In the far distance, against the snow-laden horizon, I could see a few moving specks, which I soon discovered were a number of Cossacks; who, at a gallop, were swiftly drawing nearer to me. "'Ah! then it is over with us, Cap- fain/ said I; but he made no answer; he was insensible. • Well,' said 1 to myself, • I am not going to die, nor to let him neither, without a good hard struggle for it; that would not become a soldier of the empire. !NO ; if they come near me it will cost some of those vile Cossacks dear ; they shall know what a Frenchman can do; I will stop that Abominable hurrah of one or twoof th< or my name is not Manchot.' " I had not much time to think, for they drew quickly nearer, with that wild, wretched yell of theirs. Call them soldiers! Bah! nastv, dirty, savage- looking fellows ; with their bony, rag­ ged, ugly little horses. Why, they were only fit to kill the wounded and the dying--to injure and plunder those who could not help themselves--not to fight against Frenchmen. " "Well, but what wsa I to do ? I laid the Captain down, and covered him over with the snow as well as I could. Then, seeing a number of corpses lying to­ gether in a heap, I went and laid down among them, pretending that I too was dead. "The better to hide myself, I turned over a body, and was horrified to find it was that of an old comrade of mine, who had fought by my side On the glorious field of Austerlitz, Sergeant Subra. A braver and better soldier there was not in the whole Grand Army. At any other time I should have been much grieved, but now all my thoughts were taken up with how was I to escape the enemy. So I crept as well as I could under the corpse of the sergeant. The Cossacks were on us. Never did I think myself so near death as then. They galloped right over us, and in doing so the hoof of one of the horses came down upon me, and mashed my left arm. Ah ! my children, you may be sure it was not easy for me to keep from calling out-- the agony was so very great. To keep fia the crv that seemed to force itself from my lieart, I almost bit my lips through. Well, having done what mis­ chief they could on horseback, they passed on--those murdering, thieving villains. "I then ventured to look up from my hiding-plaoe. All, as I thought at first, were gone. I was glad of this, for what can one man, with a broken arm, do against a hundred with two arms and on horseback ? As I cautiously looked around, still lying where I had hid--for I was too old a soldier to betray myself until I knew that the wiiole coast was clear--I saw that one of the enemy still remained behind--a big, ugly scoundrel, who, dismounted and leading his horse, was at this time bent on the plunder of an officer. At this sight my anger made me forget my pt\in. I felt'hurt so pitiful a villain should have it in his power to injure a brave man. "'Ah!'I said to myself »oftly, * if I, Corporal Manchot, can help it, you shall never boast of what you are now doing.' So I seized a musket with my right hand, loaded it and prepared to take aim. In doing this I made some noise which alarmed the thief; he started, listened, rose from his knees and looked around, but saw nothing. Not satisfied with tliat, he walked round the heap where I lay, at on y a few yards' dis­ tance. You may think I did not make any noise then. I even breathed a« lightly as I could. He saw--he heard nothing, so, with his confidence re­ stored, he went back to finish the work. With that I lifted my musket--but if y9U over should try to lift your musket to your shoulder to take aim with your left arm shattered you will find it a very awkward thing to do. "My instinct--the instinct of a vet­ eran, see you--told me that, so I did not fry. but lested my musket on the body of a dead comrade and took aim--very good, you may be pure, for my life de­ pended on it--fired--when bang! his battles were all over, as the Captain had said to himself; he leaped up, flung out his jvrms and fell dead. •' This raised my spirits--it somehow seemed a good omen to me that I should escape. But how? Ah! I did not see that. I returned to where I had buried the Captain in the snow--dug him out- tried all I could to lift him again on my shoulder, but could not do it because ol my broken arm. While I was endeavor­ ing to raise him, my pulling him about revived him--he opened his eyes and saw me leaning over him. At first he did not understand how thinks were, but soon, recollecting himself, he said with as strong a voice as he could, though that was very weak : " ' What, corporal, you here still! Am I then not to be obeyegi ? Did I not tell you to leave me and join your com- many? Why, if these things are al­ lowed ̂there will soon be no discipline If you^tay here, he stays too, o more about it; what I have If I live you shall be soundly punished--you Aall^ on the word of Capt. Tetn.' " This persistency of his displeased me, so I replied to him mate sharply than I should:' " 'Mafoi! Captain, if you are going to be so obstinate, Manchot will imitate you, or he is not a corporal in the Grand Army. rr 1-- ' so say no said I will da' "He looked offended, but said noth­ ing--poor fellow, for h^soon became in­ sensible again. Night was now fast coming on, so I went and gathered as many cloaks as I could--a ! there was no scarcity of them--and wrapped him in* then*. ' "Then I sought for something to eat. _ "It was well I had finished off the Cossack, for I found on him a flask of brandy, which he had evidently taken from one of our officers, and some bread. " Returning to the Captain, I poured a little spirits down, his throat, which re- vived him ; I then made him eat and drink, and took some bread and brandy myself. It waa now dark, and there was nothing for me to do but wait till morning, to see what that would bring forth. I knew the roar-guard of the •rmy was not past, and had some hopes that we might be picked np by them. " Never shall I forget the fearful hor­ rors of that night. It never ceased to snqw. The cold seemed to pierce into one's very vitalo, and freeze up the mar­ row in oar bones, and the blood in the heart. Nothing waa to be heard but the growling of the wolves and the gnashing of their jaws, as they gorged themselves on the plentiful banquet which lay •round. I felt the frost was gradually mastering me, and that it would sobn numb all my limbs. I was certain. I could not hold out much longer, so, re­ calling the few simple old prayers which I had learnt from the good cure when I was a boy, I fell on my knees and re­ peated them. This seemed to give me new strength. "Depend upon it, children, there is nothing will so revive a man as prayer. What, young wiseacre, you are sneering at that, are you ? You think I am very foolish, do you? Well, wait till you have gone through as much as I have, and faced death and danger as often, and perhaps you will think as I do. By the time I had finished my prayers, morn- ing began to dawn. The snow had ceased for a little. Through the dim­ ness of the early dawn I saw a group of French officers at a distance. To draw their attention I shouted as loudly as I could, and jumped np. 35iey drew near. "4 Halloa I how is this? Why are you not with the.army?' said a short, de­ termined-looking man, dressed in a light gray overcoat lined with fur. " Yes, young hope of your country, it was the Emperor! aud I do not expect France will ever give you such a Gen­ eral to fight under. It was the Emperor, but I did not know it. He was the last man I should have expected to see there, BO I replied: "'Why am I not with the army ? Look here,* pointing to the Captain and my arm, 'with this more, and this lees, how could I be? I wish with all my heart I was there instead of here.' " ' Sire.* Ah! then I knew it was the Emperor, that bravest of the brave, that truest of the true, that wisest of the wise. I did not know what to do or say, so I gave him the salute as well as my benumbed and stiffened limbs would allow. 'Sire,'said one of the suit, 'I saw this man yesterday carrying an offi­ cer on his back.' "' Is it so, corporal T "'Sire, mv Genera!, what could I do? The Captain could not walk; he fell down. Was I to leave him to die, or to be murdered by those cowards of Co-sacks ? I know it was wrong, and I did it in spite of his orders--he was very angry with me; but I could not help it, Bo I tried to carry him. The Cossacks rode ovef me and broke my arm; I could do nO more. Pardon me. Sire.' V " ' The Emperor smiled; yes, my ehildren, he smiled (here the veteran's eyes glowed with honest pride at the re­ membrance)--he smiled at me, Corporal Manchot, and, taking a huge pinoh of snuff, said: •>, " ' It is well, very teell, my brave fel low'--that to me, yes, to me who now stand before ydu--' it is well, very well, my brave fellow--those were his very words; as I heard them, I forgot my cold, my hunger and the pain of my arm. • " ' See here, this is for you'--with that he opened his coat, took from his breast the cross, aud pinned it on "jp" Oh, what joy! what ecstasy! what pride ! Decorated ! and with the Em­ peror's own cro*ss! " He then called to Davoust, and or­ dered that I and the still-insensible Captain should be carried forward in his own wagon. So I escaped from the hor­ rors of that retreat from Russia--but not from the punishment the Captain had threatened me with. As soon as he found that he and I were safe with our regiment, he placed? me under ar­ rest for fourteen days, for what, he said, had been a gross breach of discipline Ah 1 be always fulfilled Ms promise, did Capt. Tetu--ie is a General now. " What he had done to me was told the Emperor.

A series of experiments has been re­ cently oooAcM by Herr Kissling, of Bremen, with the view of ascertaining the properties of nicotine and other poisonous substances in the smoke of oigars. He specifies as strongly poison- on, constituents carbonic oxide, sul- pheretted hydrogen, prnssio 'acid, piooline bases and nicotine. The first three occur, however, in such nm*!; pro. portions, and their volatility is so great, that their share in the action of tobacco smoke on the system may be neglected. The piooline bases, too, are present in comparatively small quantity, so that the poisonous Character of the stroke may be almost exclusively attributed to the large proportion of nicotine present. Only a small part of the nicotine in a Cigar is destroyed by the process of Spaoking, and a relatively large portion passes off with the smoke. The propor­ tion of nicotine in the smoke depends, of course, essentially on the kind of to­ bacco ; but the relative amount of nicotine which passes from a cigar into smoke depends chiefly on how far the cigax has been smoked, as the nicotine contents of the unsTaoked part of a cigar is in inverse ratio to the sire of this part, i. e., more nicotine the shorter the pari Evicfently, in a burning cigar, the slowly advancing zone of glow drives be­ fore it the distillable matters, so that in the yet unburnl portion a constant accu­ mulation of these takes place. It would appear that in the case of cigars that are poor in nicotine, more of this substance relatively passes into smoke than in the case of cigars with much nicotine ; also that nicotine, notwithstanding its fajgfr boiling point, has remarkable volatility. --London Times.
