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'

says the Prussian report, "by a well
directed and steady fre." This field j
of carnage has three issues, all three

Prussian guard, the Carignaun road \
