The Last Days of Louis Napoleon's 'ower--Sleeping in the Jaws of Death--How Shamo Fell upon France and Glory on the Fatherland. Victor lingo, in his last work, 'The History of a Crime," describes in graphic terms a visit to Sedan and the reminisconces suggestod by a view of tbe great battlefield which laid Franc o at the feet of Germany. Th:- foll1wing is a synopsii : . look around nme. The valley .was round and hollow, like the bottom of a crater. The stream Was quite tortuous and resembled a serpent ; the high hillocks, ranged one behind another, surrounded this mysterious place, like a triple row of inexorable walls. Once there, one must stay in it. That made one think of the circus. An unspeakably disquieting verdure, which had the appearance of a prolongation of the Black Forest, overran all the heights and becamo lost in the horizon, like an immense impcnetrable snare. The sun shone, the birds sang, the wagoners pasised along whistling ; there were sheep, lambs and pigeons here and there; the le.tves trembled and, whispered among themselves; the grass-that grass so thick-was lull of flowers. It w.is droadini. It seeumd to me that I saw trembling on that valley the glitter of the angot's sword. That. word "Scedan" had been like a torn veil. The landscape had become suddenly. tragic. The indistinct eyes which the bark designs on the trunks of trees are looking at-What? Some thing terrible and vanished. On the 31st of August, 1870, an army found itself reunited and massed under the walls of Sedan, in a place called the hollow of Givonno. This army was a French army-twenty nine brigades, fifteen divisions, four army corps-90,000 men. This army was in this place without knowing why, without order, without object, poll mell a heap of men thrown there as if for the purposo of being seized by an immense hand. This army had not, or seemed not to have, for the moment, any immediate uneasiness. It was known, or bolievod to be known, that the enemy was far off. Calculating the day's march at four leagues a (lay, the enemy was distant thre days' march. How ever, toward evening, the chiefs made certain wise strategical dis positions. The army rested in the rear on Sedan and the Mouse ; it was protected by two lines of battle, one, consisting of the Seventh corps, extended from Floing to Givonne, the other, comprising the Twelfth corps, extended from Givonno to Bazeilles, forming a trianigle of which the Meuse wvas the hypothenuso. These dispositions indicated a fecAlin g of profound security. For that matter tile Emperor Napoleon III. would not have gono there if he had not felt perfectly safe. This hollow of Givonne is what Napoleon I. called a basin and what Admiral Von Tromp called ap~ot'de ch&ambr'o. There could be no pack.. ing so compllete. An army there is so much at home that it is too muIch so ; it runs the riskc of not being able to, get out. This was tile feel ing of some valiant and prudeht chiefs, such as Wimpfen, but it was not lietoned to. "At the worst," said the people who surrounded the E~mperor, "we are always sure of being able to gain Mezieres and, in case of dire extremity, tile Belgian frontier." .But was it necessary to providle for such extreme contin gencies ? In certain cases to fore see is nearly to offend. All were of one mind, then, in feeling at ease. If there had been any uneasiness the bridges over the Meuse would have been cut, but this was not oven thought of. Why should it be done? The enemy was far away.. The Emperor, who was- well inform ed, aflirmed the fact, During .this sarne night, while the F~rench armny slept, tis ist what was done.- * : * he high hills were suddenly held by an immense ba amy. Not a cry of onymand. TwoJhund*ed .an~d fifty tioueandi Bavarians the Saxon at la Moncelle and at Daigny ; in front of Givonne the Royal Guard ; the Fifth corps at Saint Menges ; the Second corps at Flaigneux ; on the bond of the Mouse, between Saint Menges and Donchery, the Wurtemburgers; Count Stolberg and his cavalry at ])onchery ; on the front, before Sedan, the Second Bavarian army. All this had shaped itself in spectral fashion, in order, without a breath, without noise, across the woods, the ravines and the valleys. A march tortuous and sinister--the lengthening out of reptiles. Scarcely could a murmur be heard under the dense leaves of the trees. The silent battle swarmed in the shadows, waiting for the day. The French army slept. All at once it awakened. It was prisoner. The sun arose, splendid from the side of God ; terrible from the side of man. Lot us fix the situation. The Germans have numbers on their side. They are three, perhaps four, against one. They avow 250,. 000 inen, but it in certain that their' front of attack was over eighteen miles long. They have position; they crowin the heights, they fill the forests ; they are covered by all these steeps, they are masked by all this shadow ; they have incompara b:o artillery. The French army is in a basin, almost without artillery and without munitions, stark naked .:, under shot and shell. The Germans have on their side an ambuscade, the French on theirs heroism alone. To die is beautiful, but to surprise is good. A suripriso, that was this feat of arlmS Is this good war ? Yes ; but if this is good war, what is bad ? The samo thing ? That said, the battle of Sedan is recounted. * * 0 0 0 * The first of September, then, at five in the morning, the world awakened under the sun, and the French army under the thunder. Bazeilles takes fire, Givonne takes fire, Floing takes fire ; it com monces with a furnace. All the horizon is aflame. The French camp is in this crater-stupefied, dismayed, madly astir, funeral swarming. A circle of thunder on virons the army. It is surrounded by extermination. This miighty massacre begine from all points at once. The French resist, and they are terrible, hating nothing but despair. Our cannon, almost all of olden model and low range, are soon dismounted by the fire so frightful and precise of the Prussians. The denseness of the rain of shells on the valley is such that "the earth is all striped by it," says a witness, "as by a harrow." How many guns? Eleven hundred at least. The German soldiers, seated or lying down, watch the artillery work. The French soldiers fall and die. Among the corpses which cover the plain, there is one, the corpse of an officer, on which will be found after the battle a sealed note containing this order, signed NapO leon : "To-day, the 1st of Septem ber, repose for the entire army." The valiant Thirty-fifth of the line disappears almost entirely under the overwhelmmnent of the shells; the brave infantry of the marine hold for a moment in -check the Saxons rmixed with Bavarians, but outflanked and overpowered, retire. u All the admirable cavalry ofth Marguorite division, hurled against the German infantry, halts and' melts away midway, externtinated says the Prussian report, "by a well directed and steady fre." This field j of carnage has three issues, all three barred ; the Bouillon road by the Prussian guard, the Carignaun road \ by the Bavarians, the Mezieres road by the Swabians The French have ~ not dreamed of barricading the railw ~ way viaduct ; three Germnan bat'-X tahons have occupied it its thie 1 night ; two isolated houses on the Bolan road. could be the .pivot of A long resistance. The Gerinaans are there; the park of Montvillers'tite4R ;$~ and deep, might hinder the' jUnotion of the Saxone, who were 2n#4trs of 4 la Moncelle,i anda the Bavarian~ masters of Bozeilles ; they were ' distanced, and foimd there the Ba varians . cutting 'the hedges with.> their bill hooks., The German ariny atr 'e* a~ A piede with a urnity Quh tab the Saxon Prinoe is on td ~I11 Eh *j ~airy, Whence he deni~ ~b $' eenIe teo 'h
