Napoleon dispatched the corps of

opened about 1 o'clock in the after
noon by a vigorous cannon fire from
the Russian batteries, still In position

Oudinot’s line. Supposing that he
could crush the French under Lannes,
General Bennlgsen crossed nearly the

Sweeping French Victory.
Lannes had but 10,000 men and, like
the vigorous Reynolds at Gettysburg,
put up tiie I Hist fight he could and sent
eourier after courier to summon Nai>o-
leon to the field. One of these couriers,
Baron de Mar Lot, of Lannes’ staff has
left a story of the whole affair. Mar-
bot says he met Napoleon some miles
away, and “he was beaming.” As he
rode along the column the soldiers
cheered, and be rcjieatedly said to
them. “Today is a lucky day; It is the
anniversary of Marengo.” When Na
poleon got up with the reserves, it Is
said that he had 70,000 on the field
against M.000 Russians. The battl<
was going against the French when
Napoleon's chief of artillery, General
Senarmont. another Warren on Hound
Top and the hero of the day, massed
thirty guns to play upon the Russian
guns across the river. At the same
time the French infantry charged to
ward the bridges and plied the bayonet
upon the dense ranks gathered around
the bridge heads. Senarmont next
turned bis guns upon the bridges, and
the long June day closed with 30,000

to captivate her former enemy.
The figure cut by Louisa's royal
«p iti.st* at this time was most pitiful.
In the “Memoirs of Napoleon,” by the
Duchess D’Abrame . we read:
Tiie kiiis of Prussia was of so little ac
count in these conf renoeg that nothing
more was said of him than if he were at
Berlin. To see a king, b>r in fact he was
a king, following his conqueror with an
eye of apprehension, fearing to speak,
walking always behind tiie other two sov
ereigns, ami thus by his own act placing
himself in a subordinate rank, must al
ways be distressing.
The duchess was the wife of Juuot,
one of Napoleon’s generals, and re
counts the story of Tilsit ns given her
by eyewitnesses.
Long before Friedland and Tilsit Na
poleon had declared that he would de
throne Frederick of Prussia. At St.
Helena he said:
Where I erred most fatally was at Til
sit. I ought to have dethroned the king
of Prussia. I hesitated a moment. I was
sure Alexander would not have opposed
it. providing I had not taken the king's
dominions for myself. I might have de
clared that tiie house of Hohenzollern had
ceased to reign.
He added that hr* would have done
so had there been a scion of the branch
of Frederick the Great at hand. Ap
ropos of the desp< Ration of I’russia,
sanctioned by the treaty at Tilsit, the
Duchess D’Abraute.i quotes an inter

der, whom she me in Paris iu 1814.
Said the czar:
On our meeting at Tilsit I stepped upon
the raft quite determined to sustain my
dignity in my deportment toward tho
man whose treatment of the king of Prus
sia was. in mp opinion, violently unjust.
I intended to do much for my unfortunate
friend (Frederick) and much also for my
own people, but scarcely had I seen Napo
leon before I was overcome.
Alas, neither the czar’s sympathy nor
the beautiful queen's graclousness
availed to save the Prussian realm
from the greed of Napoleon.

liam I., emperor of Germany, at Ver
sailles. So the humiliation at Tilsit
was avenged.
A Frsnk Reminiscence.
It lias been said that at Tilsit the
ezur aud Napoleon divided the mastery
of Europe between themselves. Napo
leon seems to have been overjoyed at
the friendly alliance he made with the
czar. He wrote at the time to his
brother Joseph, “We lived as Intimate
friends.” This is not the language of
a boaster, but of a man promoted and
tends to show that Napoleon felt that
lie had rea< bed his goal by an alliance
with the Russian autocrat. "I found
myself dictating laws, having emperors
aud kings pay me court,” he afterward
said. On the other hand this versatile
Corsican sometimes laughed in his
sleeve at the “emperors and kings” lie
had hobnobbed with at Tilsit. In talks
witli Napoleon at Si. Helena one of the
chroniclers records this frank remi
niscence:
“When.” said Napoleon. “I wa« at Tilsit
with the Emperor Alexander and the king
of Prussia. I was the most Ignorant of the
three In military affairs. These two sov
ereigns, especially the king of Prurrla,
were completely au fait aa to the numtx-r
of buttona there ought to be In front of a
Jacket, how many behind and the manner
In which the sklrta ought to be cut. Not
a tailor In the army knew better than
King Frederick how many measures of
cloth it took to make a Jacket. In fact,
continued he, laughing. “I was nobody in
comparison with them. They continually
tormented me about matters belonging to
tailors, of which I was entirely Ignorant,
although. In order not to affront them. I
answered Just as gravely as If the fate of
an army depended upon the cut of a
Jacket. When I went to see the Idng of
Prussia. Instead of a library I found that
he had a large room, like an arsenal, fur
nished with shelves and pegs, on which
weft hung fifty or sixty jackets of differ
ent patterns. Every day he changed his
fashion and put on a different one. He
attached more Importance to this than
was necessary for the salvation of a king
dom.”
Three treaties resulted from Fried-
laud—one between France and Russia,
published at the time; one between
France and Prussia, also made public,
aud a third, long kept secret, between
Russia and France. This last was
practically an offensive and defen
alliance of the two powers agn
England. Austria aud Turkey. A
uant of bis realm was left to the Prfig-
sian king out of regurd for the wishes
of Alexander. Napoleon was blamed
by the liberals of Europe for not re
constituting the kingdom of Poland.
Instead of that he created the grand
duchy of Warsaw In favor of bis old
ally, the king of Saxony, whose prede
cessors liuil reigned in Poland. At
home he was blamed for not crossing
the Niemeu after Friedland and push
ing his conquest farther east; also for
putting too much trust iu Alexander,
who later turned upon him. He wa.
also blamed for leaving Prussia either
too strong or too weak. Prussia strong
and allied with France would have
been a buffer between France aii>l
Russia; weak, Prussia would never
have troubled France again for a cen
tury. Echoing the trend of criticism In
European capitals at the time of Napo
leon's fall, Baron Meueval, long close
to Najsfleon. says in bis memoirs. “It
needed the disaster at Moscow (1S12i
aud Leipsic (1813) to overthrow the
beautiful monument to Napoleon’,
glory.” created by the victory at Fried
laud in 1807.

“The hindmost crocodile, acting as a
sort of stroke oar In this remarkable
aquatic team, began to back water
with his foremost paws, and the strain
upon the probosis must have been ter
rible to the elephant. Amid the lashed
and foam covered waters It was Im
possible to form an opinion as to the
ultimate result of this gigantic strug
gle.
“ ‘It’s even money on either side,’ ex
claimed Randy.
“ Til take your ludshlp’s 4 to 5

sooner was the wager effected than
the sagacity of the elephant landed me
the money as well as b’mself the victor.
“The elephant simply blew through
his trunk the many gallons of water he
had Just imbibed, aud the foremost
crocodile, feeling a great aud forceful
swirl of water uprooting his back teeth
and threatening to almost wash bis
very tongue down his throat, had to re
lease bis hold, and the entire crew of
five crocodiles fell back into the depths
of the lagoon, defeated and disgraced.
“No doubt some writers of stories of
wild animals, such as mountain Hons
or Kilkenny cats, have misinterpreted
some of the things they have witnessed
and others have unconsciously permit
ted their imagination to color their ob
servations, but truth will prevail for
the simple reason that truth Is stronger
as well as stranger than fiction. Those,
therefore, not disposed to believe any
authentic tale can do the other thing.

Christians, but, paturally, they still
retain many of the traditional beliefs
and superstitious of their ancestors.
