The bat CUB waa not a model one oa thc -part of the Trench. Under command of .'Louis XV dad Marshal Saxa they were laying siege rto Foo rna y, on the Sbeldfc, and when the rear to raise tba siege Saxe swung of bis troops aroa nd on to aslope, ^umrtlug two. faces j? the. enemy. * His IBaes thus had two dferti?ns and met in -aa angie atthe center, the same as the un? fortunate, position occupied by Sickles' i July 2 at Gettysburg. The French s?ed on the Sbeklt on the right, and idiWu&peaetrabte wood ?san the? left sjndj the front was strengthened by heavy re? doubts having a diverging fire that swept tba whole plain beyond. The left side of *ht angle bad bot two redoubts, one nt the taki^i?d -pae at ^extreme left. Th* right side was better supplied. Marshal Saxe stated that be dkl not believe that a commander existed bold enough to attempt to put bis troops through the raking fire* from those two widely separated redoubt*. It proved a weak spot, however. Tbeallies were formed under three com? manders Gen. Ingoldsby on the right, to dt?&tb? isolated redoubt at the edge of tanwood ap tbe *rtremo left; the young Duke of Cumberland with Anglo-German t/oopa io the cectex, and Prince de Wal? deck eo the left with thc Dutch troops . The action "besan at 5 o'clock in thc morn? ing. May 11.1745, and raged as aa artillery duei for four hours. . Then the allied in? fantry Tcjok 'fr np and made a grand ad? vance all atong thc line. The Dutch infant? ry in beary columns supported by cavalry, gaUantlj ?aced the terribie artillery fire that raked their line?CTOsswis?1and?eJ?gth wisc. The French- bad a sixteen pounder tj&ttery on a bluff at tbejextrenae right of ?heir position that swept the Dutch lines from end to end.. So solutes could be aiade taenduxe auchxannonadLng without some diversion irora other son rees. And I at a critical ti?effberc was * ptbspect of j aoc3> diversion, for the Dake of Cumberland at tbi?\^dLBf^g^T??ti^?i?^r^lht^eT ian taJa^try^-oad accom;>an?ed by twenty -canoon, carried ia the left side of the angle from the redoubt at the ?rood to the .point at Fontenoy. The redoubt at the wood assaulted ty Ingoldsby had not been car? ried, owing to thc cowardice or incfSciency of the leafier of the attacking column. But the dake pressed on into the very center of the French lines, more than 300 paces past the lartfery front. Of course he carried confusion with bini. Louis XY and the Dauphin were in thc camp. If the Dutch cwak4 de ma weft on their side as Cum tier land had tkme on his tl?? French were tost, for owing to the situation them was no Arenuo of escape in" case of defeat. Despair settled down on the French councils. The favorite troops bad given w^y before Cum berlandV blows. Tbe steady musketry fire of his columns seemed t? the French aa something infer? nal, and is advancing cannon knocked to ;pifCtf iraspie brigades of thc king's choice infantry. Thc French had 130 pieces of cannon Jo-their redoubts, but .these were ar! ?ceded to do t heir ?cork there. Four guns only had bec? left in reserve, and ar. officer of the Irish brigade. Col. Lally, sog gested that they be brought into action to oppose Cumberland*? advance. This idea coming to the car of thc king was adopted, and the guvs Were brought into* action in front of the victorious allies, whose shouts of triumph resounded over the plain. The 'snore placed the impetuous CUP*Orland into a difficult position. He had cut his way through a gap; for the French batter? ies on both flanks of his column remained Intact and fired upon the allies who at MAP OY THE BATTLE GROCXD. Ti saifrrt 'ta frrflur op tothc duke'ssupport. His column was exposed to attack on the iruns. nod eac*? flank, If the French had the yigor and foresight to act up to the emer? gency. .Already orders had been given from the French l^adqHartcrs to prepare for retreat, and even the batteries so per? sistently holding t i ic Dutch in check along iba^dole of the angle bad been tdidtoabnn dou their ground. The allies under Cum? berland were astounded and all but par alyzed by their sudden saccess. They had rushed into the center of the French army; brigade after brigade of French infantry had melted away before them; confusion and inaction were everywhere noticeable in the French camp, and Cumberland's men actually stood still in wonder and uncer? tainty. Their surprise and inaction* lasted until tte French recovered a firm grip on tibe situation. The commander of thc four reserve cannon, which had been ordered to the front nuder Csl. Lally's inspiration, hurried them forward, crying out, "No re? treat; the king orders that these four pieces of canoon should gain the victory." The allied column that hail broken through the French waa ia the form of an oblong, witlrthreo battle fronts. Marshal Saxe ordered the four cannon to open on the^Tongest front anti cut gaps for the French cavalry to dash through. At the same time the infantry brigades that could be re-formed were to attack on each flank. .On the extreme French left lay the Irish brigade, six infantry regiments, known as Clare's, Bulkeley's, Dillon's, Roth's, Ber? wick's and Lolly's. These men had Dot been at the front thus far during the bat? tis, and had cursed their luck in cons?? quence, but their enthusiasm, or "panting ?dor," as the phrase is, was about to be given a loose rein. They were placed at the bead of a column to attack the Duke of Cumberland's right flank. Being com? posed of young men, all fresh and burning w?th hatred of their old hereditary foe, the English, their selection to bear the brunt of the attack was at once a compliment, and a challenge to them to show proof of their mettle. When the word came to go Cot Lally said to his men, "March against the enemies of France and yourselves without firing until you have the points of your bayonets upon their bellies." The Irishmen went forward all animated with the spirit of Lally, and coolly re servrog^their fire. Before them lay a slope -ascending toward the allied lines, and swept by a galling fire from thousands of muskets and two cannon. Up the steep they went without pulling a trigger, to be met by some of the crack troops of the British army, among them thc famous Coldstream guards. The brigade wore scarlet uniforms, and advancing in good order called out in English, "Steady, boys! Forward! Charger' so that tho foemen heard the rally and saw what was to come. As the opposing lines came together a .British on\cer advanced to the front and singled ont Capt. Anthony McDonough for combat. A sword duel was fought on the spot, the soldiers on both sides-nearest the scene pausing to witness the fisht McDonough finally disabled his foe and sent him to.tbe rear as a prisoner, while his comrades sent up a tremendous snout ever the victory as an omen of good luck. Following this incident the British let loose their volleys of bullets, and for a few moments cut down the intrepid Irishmen like grain before the t?ytb?. The com? mander, Col. Clare, was hit twice. Col., Dillon was killed at the bead of his regi? ment, and scores of officers and hundreds of men fell under this fire. Yet there was scarcely a check to the impetuous move? ment of Erin's gallant sons. "With their famous Celtic slogan, '"Remember Limer? ick and Saxon perfidy," they rushed to close quarters, thrusting their bayonets into the faces of their antagonists before firing a shot. Even in front of that blazing column the bayonet, like the honest stick in a scrim? mage, had moro charms for the Irish lads ?han the uncertain muzzle and flint. They ?aid feel with their countryman who sang >f his encounter with a Claude Duval: - His pistol it flashed, But his head I mashed, Oh! sbfficlah. you never missed fire. An unfortunate circumstance happened it the outset that would have chilled the udor of less determined warriors. A bri? gade of Frenchmen, mistaking the Irish in iheir scarlet colors for the enemy, charged THE DUEL. th ?m and fatally wounded many before the mistake was discovered. Even this ?lid nt* cause more than a temporary wavering, and the brigade soon saw their opponents flying from the field. Of tbetwenty cannon with the Duke of Cumberland the brigade made trophies of fifteen. They also took two colors. The colors and two guns were captured from the Coldstream guards by Coi. Bulkeley's regiment. So quick was the change of scene after the Irish ?rot to work that a contemporary spoke of Cumberland's column as "en? chanted l?gions which were visible and in? visible at pleasure?" It was an affair of seven or eight minutes., Thc French war minister, who wason the spot with his king, said, "In-ten minutes the-battle was won." The brigade lost 73 officers and 400 men kitted and wounded. Clare's regiment had its lieutenant colonel and 5 captains kilkd, its major, and S captains and 1 lieutenant wounded. Dillon's regi? ment lost its colonel, lieutenant colonel and 3 captains killed, 3 captains and 0 lieutenants wounded. Roth's regiment had 3 captains killed, and its colonel and 9 captains wounded. Berwick's regiment lost S: captains tilled, 2 captains and 5 lieutenants wounded. In Lally's regiment -3 lieutenants were killed and the colonel, lieutenanfccblonei ?md major, 3 captains and 4~ lieutenants were wounded. Fitz james' Irish cavalry regiment, acting with the horse, also lost heavily. Twenty-five officers of this regiment were among the killed and wounded. Following the battle, which was a de? cisive victory for thc French campaign. Lom* XV thanked the several Irish corps in person. Honors and gratuities were showered upon the surviving officers, and when Georj^e IV of England heard the de? tails and realized that his soo had been de? feated by Irish gallantry he exclaimed, "Cursed be the laws which deprive me ut s-vrh subjects." . "Ric laws referred to were tbs penal and anti-Catholic measures adopted for Ireland after William of Orange made conquest of the Catholic districts in 1091. These meas? ures were held to be in direct violat ion of iTtviij *uV Ltttue* ^jk, oeuvt ^he battle cry of tho exiles on the field of Fontenoy, "Remember Limerick and Saxon perfidy." Yet it was ii ot with' the spirits of cold blooded renegades that these irishmen fought against the English army, in which their ancestors had won renown, aud where their own race and blood wen' pitted ?igainxt them. After Cumberland bad been driven from the field of Fontenoy and thc brigade was allowed to rest some of thc men were seen to be in tears. When pressed to give a reason for the sadness on the heels of such a happy victory they re? plied that while they had done their duty by France, and would do so again, it was hard to fight against their own country? men, some of whom might be frieuds, aud even relative*. To dispel their sadness the band was ordered to play up "Patricks Day," when tho men responded with a jovial shout, "Hurrah for old Ireland!" GKOUGE L. KlUJEtt. High Monuments.

M B. Piatu '?? For Thoa? Who Bide Bicycle?. Jjadies who ride the wheel can be count c i by the hundreds, but that their ranks ate rapidly increasing is an assured fact. Of those who ride many do so gracefully, but there are some, not a few, who sit their wheels in a manner so ungainly as to draw the attention and comment of the passers? by, thus hindering the use of 'cycles among ladies to a great extent. Now, any lady can lcok well on a wheel if she will (and knows how), but the trou? ble seems to be that a great number are turned out of the riding schools too soon without thc proper instruction, the finish? ing touches of their 'cycling education be? ing in most cases entirely negleoted, and it is a shame that such is the case. Aft hese schools the pupil is taught to struggle about in a yard (much too small in many cases) and mount and dismount after a fashion. Here their instructions seem to-come to ..n end, and just where it is most needed, for then is the time the rider shonld be taught to ride with her saddle well forward and with h and bar so arranged that she will not have to stoop to grasp it, nor have the bar so high that she is made to hunch the shoulders. Nor should she ride with cranks so long that the movement of the knee is too marked, or with cranks so short that nearly all power is lost by having too little leverage. The beginner, of course, cannot see her? self, and if she did, without the proper in? structions, would not know how to ride more gracefully. If my sisters who ride the wheel will re? member these few bints they will be sure to look well. Have your saddle well forward over the pedals, sit erect, raising the handle bar just high enough so you may grasp it easily without leaning forward, using six-inch cranks for country riding and five-inch for city, and use thc ankle movement,* keeping the knees well in.-Washington Star.
