At the last meeting of the Academ: dee Inscriptions et Belles Lettres, A Dieulafoy, the well-known explorer i Persia, read a very interesting ai count of his visit to the scene of tt decisive encounter between Kin David and the Philistines in the Va ley of Eephaim. M. Dieulafoy d scribed how, after the capture of Jen > salem by David and the establishmei of the Israelite monarchy, the Philii i tines resolved to crush the nascei kingdom, and how, after alternatioi of success and failure, they occupit the Valley of Rephaim, situated at tl foot of the slopes which led from tl > west to Jerusalem. It was then, a j cording to M. Dieulafoy, that Davi< constantly attacked by hisenemie executed one of the finest militai maneuvres recorded in history. A Dieulafoy, while indicating the var 1 ous advances made by military ar ' ana Having snown mai ueiurt) me wa. of the Medes no Nation had any a< i quaintance with the rules of higher tai i tics and strategy, dwelt upon the fa< i that David waB the first of the Israe ite leaders to form drilled and disc plined troops, and pointed out wht i good use the king made of his army i the Valley of Baphaim. The plan < the battle, very clearly described i the Bible, which ascribed the concej: tion of it to Jehovah, comprised flank march, a rapid change of front the rapid encompassing of the lei i wing of the Philistines and an attac from behind on this wing. This we : a complicated and bold turning mov< ment, very difficult to execute an something quite out of the commo ) for the age in which it was carrie out. M. Dieulafoy, who had dii covered the theatre of operations an i had made use of the general topogri ; phy of the region in order to recon ) stitute the principal phases of the bat r tie, pointed out that this movemen . presented a striking analogy witl those executed by Frederick II at th i battles of Mollwitz and Bossbacb an , by Napoleon at Austerlitz. In th conduct of this operation David gav evidence of the highest capacities, tafc ing advantage of all tbe inequalitie of the ground, forming his troop afresh in the wood, and chargins in] petuously, and M. Dieulafoy insiste very strongly upon the similarity c his military genius to that of Nape leon.?Public Opinion. A Playground Made a Lake.
