SOME MYSTERIES REVEALED BY TIME Ocrmnit I'ninitlilirttd eon tlic Ilndlcn Arounil .llolr SUVOPC Crltlclini of French Cnnitiimnlerx , Umicoli the CuminnnitCr-lii.Chlct "Could Jlarshnl Bazalno Have Saved Trance In 18707" Is ttie title ot a pahiphtet recently published In Deri In by Major Kuntz of the German army. It was translated Into French by Colonel Olrnnl , a retired officer of the French army , and lias Just been pub lished In Parts. Following Is a condensed copy ot the paraphlot taken from the New York Sun : After B rapid criticism of the French army of Hint time. Major Kuntz deals with the conduct of Daralno during the campaign. In charge of the Third corps at the outbreak ol the war , Dazalno wr.a on the evening ol the Cth of August .promoted to the com niand ot the Second , Third and Fourth corps , which were on the frontier. On the morning ot the Otb. of August the Second corps was attacked at Forbach , About 1 o'clock In the afternoon General Frossard , commanding the Second corps , Informed the marshal that he wao hotly engaged In a regular battle , From his headquarters at St. Avoid , Hazalnc might In twenty minutes reached Forbach by rail way and witnessed personally the conditions of the fight. The four divisions of the Third corps were echeloned along the route irom Sarrcguemlnes to St. Avoid , three or four kilometres from the field of battle. Ho might have brought them there rapidly , and by an enormous numerical superiority have Inflicted a serious reverse upon the Germans and driven them beyond the Sarre , Dut ho remained quietly In his headquar ters , and General Frossnrd , bnatcn , waa obliged to fall back upon Puttelango , on the very same- day when Macllahon was crushed at Kroeschwlllcr. Therefore , on the Cth or August , Uaznlno was gullly of Inaction , and for the repulse at Forbach ho was respon sllilc. GUILTY GENERALS. nut , says Major Kuntz , he was not the only guilty general. All the French gener ally on that clay exhibited a complete want of Initiative. After Uie battle of Forbach , the French army fell 'back upon Metz. On the twelfth of August , In the evening , Qazaltio was made commander-ln-chler of the army of the Hhltic , nnd the Kmperor ordered him to fall back upon Verdun , llazalne never spoke of that 'Order ' to Gen. Jarraa , his chief of staff , whom he Ignored com pletely during all the campaign , to the det riment of the service. The arrangements for the retreat were badly conceived. The movement of the French army was , more over , retarded by a sudden rlso of the Moselle anil by the battle of Rprny. The retreat was made with oxtromq sjownosa , and when the advance guard or thoarmy , reached Mars la Tour , on' the 15thff [ August , It found the route to Verdun barred by the Germans. It was necessary , therefore , to glvo battle on the 16th of Augtist1 , . fh order to open up a passage. Bazalne i'nAh'at day had In front of him only the th\rc'and \ ] tenth Prussian corps and the sixth division of cavalry. He had under his hand nlmbst his entire army , giving him a perfectly Crushing numerical superiority , nearly 100 , bUttalions , 38 squad rons , and 40 battorlrf . Ijtc , cfnihl and should have won there a brilliant victory , but he gave evidence ot his .complete/ Inability to take In the situation and to come to a de cision , and the daVt Which should liavc been a complete difeat'Jfor the Germans , notwithstanding thb r hprolc tenacity , re- Indecisive. ' , pained t j But could Bazalne i.liave ; recommenced the .flghCionnthoillTth . ? .JP-jieiihad. ! recommenced on the 17th1 of August , early In the mornIng - Ing , and It was pefio.ctlyr easy , for him to do so , the Third and Tenth Prussian corps would , have been driven Into the Moaello be fore the arrival of reinforcements. More over , the Germans expected an attack on that day. and were very much In dread of It , but what was thelr'astonlslmient and Joy when they aaw the French army falling back In the direction ot Metz , ! WHAT BAZAINE COULD HAVE DONE ? . If Bazalne did not want to recommence the fight on the 17th ho could , at least , have continued the movement of retreat by tak ing the road to Verdun b'y Brley and Lon- guyon. According to General Jarras , that was the proposition of the majority of the commanders of the army corps oti the even ing of the battle. But Marshal Bazalne did not do that. On the night of the IGth of August , under the pretext that ho had not mifllclent munitions and supplies , which was false , ho gave orders to fall back upon nozerleulles-Amanvilllers. That movement was absolutely contrary to the formal In structions ot the emperor ; but the marshal was even then , at that early day , deter mined not to quit .Metz. On the 16th of August he gave- proof of want of decision and inability to grasp the situation. But what was his conduct , on the ISth of Au gust ? Whllo his army 'was fighting from 11 o'clock In the morning until 0 o'clock 'In the evening against masses of Germans , ho remained quietly in his headquarters , ex cept for an excursion of a few hours to Fort St. Quentln. Ho not only omitted to go to the field of battle , but ho neglected to send a single officer of his staff to bring him 'a report upon the condition of affairs then ex isting. Deaf to the reiterated demands for help of the commanders of his army corps , who sent him word In regard to the gravity of the situation , he refused to bring out his reserves and left Inactive In bivouac ono brigade of Infantry and an entire division ot grenadiers of the guard , with almost all the reserve of artillery , composed of ten bat teries of twelve , the division of Forton and the division of cavalry' ot the guard. Major Kuntz declares that the conduct of Bazalno on that day was Inexcusable and quite suffi cient to merit severe punishment. When ha retired under the guns of Metz. the marshal sent word to the emperor and to Marshal Mac.Mahon by his emissaries that ho proposed , after his troops had a real and ho had resupplicd hlfl munitions and food store , to pierce the" Investment line on the north. The staff of the second German army expected a sortie ot the army'of the Rhino In the direction of Thornvlllo , toward the west or toward the south , along the Moselle.

That was also the opinion expressed In the report of the PrusslaOjiQrcat general staff , Bazalne was aware .of. > the disposition of ' the German forces around Metz.

Editorially the Sun says the pamphlet "recalls attention to the surprise of General Sheridan at the Inactivity ot the French army around Metz , "It seems plain now that Uazalne , notori ously jealous of Canrobert , wanted him to be beaten at Hezonvlllo on the 16th ot August , That fight , however , was what In sporting phrase It called n draw ; but It left Canrobort In a good position to resume the battle at daylight the next marnlng , the ) Tth , He could not do this , according to Canrobort's testimony nt the trial of Hazalne , for the reason that , by nn extraor dinary combination , resulting from stupidity or treachery , a'Fronch army corps , moving with extreme slowness , was thrown ncross his road to almost certain victory. Ho was compelled to remain Inactive during that entire day. "On tho.followlng day , at Snint-Prlvat , or Gravclolle. the bloodiest battle of the war nnd the 'key of the campaign , ' Canrobcrf had the best of It until evening. All his ap peals to Uazalno for reinforcements were In rain. Tho. French reserves were kop motionless , whllo 'Immense masses of the enemy' were thrown against Canrobcrt. nnt the last chance ot the Army of the Ilhlno to form a Junction with MacMahon was lost. The entire French army was hopelessly cut In two , and , thanks to Bazalne , Von Moltko found little difficulty In finishing the business In short order by throwing masses against particles. "Time reveals many mysteries , nnd at this distance from that war three things seem plain : first , that the French soldier of 1870 was as good as ho ever wah before that date ; secondly , that Napoleon's final pro motion of Bazalne was a fatal blunder ; and thirdly , that Von Moltko was a great gen eral who know how to make the best use of his opportunities.

A woman "clairvoyant" who a few months ago achieved considerable notoriety by figuring In a Chicago trial for the re covery of several thousand dollars alleged to have been secured from a wealthy woman temporarily deranged. Is said to have gene back to Doston , whence she came sev eral years ago. During the course of the court proceed ings referred to , which appear to have brought about the recent removal to the Hub , the "clairvoyant , " In a burst of confi dence , gave to a reported of the Times-Her ald many points concerning "clairvoyance , as she practiced It , that may provo Inter esting to the public. "It Is the easiest thing In the world to fool a woman , " she said. "Women do not reason. They are much more suspicious than men , but when once their confidence has been gained , you can make them bo- Ilevo tbo mooii Is made of green cheese. "The whole problem Is In gaining the vis itor's confidence. If I can make her believe In mo she Is gone. Usually It Is not a very difficult Job to do that. Probably one-half of the women who call to consult me are actuated by no other motive than Idle curi osity. Such womeu never come back a second end time , so I know that I can get only ono fco from them , anyway. I exact payment In advance , and after that it doesn't make much difference to mo what I tell them. "But occasionally a woman comes In who has money and means business. If I please her she lylll come again and again , making my pocketbook heavier each time. That ! s the woman I am after , of course , and my first work Is to Impress her with my honesty. I do not know her name , her resld'iiee or her history. If I did It would be clear railIng - Ing right from the start. "I ask for the usual fe = and BO into a 'trance. ' Very shortly I awake with a start. 'I am very perry , ' I remark , 'but the < lcc- trlcal and magnetic conditions today are very bad. The atmosphere seems to be tur- oharged with electricity , and It greatly In terferes with my work. However , I will try again In a few minutes. ' After a short In terval of conversation T again go Into a trance. This also proves ineffective , and I hand the caller's money bark , ( laying thai I am very sorry that she came at such an In opportune time , and assuring her that the conditions do not Interfere with sittings oftener than once or twice a year. Will she call again tomorrow ? She usually Is Im pressed -with my sincerity and promises to como back. "When she- leaves a negro servant , whom I have warned -by an electric buzzer , follows her wherever she ouay go. When he re turns he has the woman's residence number. From this It IB an easy matter to Identify her , and a few Inquiries In the neighborhood at Hie nearest grocery perhaps arc suffi cient to give rno all the information I need. Very often as Boon as I find out who my vis itor Is I know something about her which will give me a clew to what she wants to know. "When she calls again I go Into a trance , and this tlmo the 'conditions' are all right. I surprise nor Inexpressibly by describing the appearance of her own residence , giving the street number , and finally spell out her own name , Nine times out of ten this ID all that Is required. The caller Is convinced that I have learned her name and residence by occult rower and therefore Is ready to be- llovo anything else I may toll her. It la easy when you know how.

ROMANCE OF A WUARD A Union Major's Elopement with a Con- fcdornto Bcanty , WAS PURSUED BY REBEL RANGERS llotr n Vlritlnlft OlrlVn * Arrentcil n Spy , Imprisoned \VnnliltiKlnn unit Afterward Murrlril n Kcilernl OMIcer. The death of Mr. Joseph C. WlllaiM ot Washington recalls the rotnanca connected with his cccond wife , who was a woman celebrated > brated throughout the Old Dominion for her beauty and zeal In the cause of the con federacy. The combination ot feminine love- llnets with military pluck nnd dauntless energy , relates the Washington Post , make * her character ono that resembled Joan d'Aro In Its womanliness and strength. It wa4 about the second year ot the- civil war when the little town of Fairfax waa Infested with a largo number ot union troopa. In fact that village , being only about sixteen miles from the cnpit.il nnd in a direct line to the heart of Dixie , was generally. In the midst ot turmoil , being ono day In the hands of the confederates and the next under martial liw of Undo Sam. It was n typical southern place , nnd , as almost every ono ID the spot , had been born In the place , the In habitants were most nrdcnt secessionists. Among tbo prominent gentlemen ot the vlllngo was a merchant , Mr. Ford , whoso young daughter , Miss Antonla , wan ono ot the prettiest girls In the county. Her ttylo of beauty was ot the delicate sort \\hlch ana never associates with deeds of herohm , hut her adventures In course of time made her ono of the most popular women In the south. With a wealth of light hair she combined the rare attraction of daik eyes and her whole appearance was strikingly attractive nnd handsome. Like the rest of the ladles ot the town , she was heart and soul In the cause for which her kinsmen fought and her most enthusiastic sympathies were ou the sldo of the confederate -troops. It seems that about this tlmo the union commanders had taken ateps to discover any plot to carry Information from the town to any of the southern ufflcers and for this purpose a woman , who was In reality n union spy , was brought' to the village. She went from house to house enlisting the sym pathies of the women by telling them that her husband was n soldier In Richmond and that she was on her way to Join him. She displayed a photograph , which she alleged was that of her husband , but same of the women recognized It ns that of a gentleman to whom the woman was totally unknown she had evidently stolen It out ot some hcusa In Alexandria , where she obtained the true history ot some southern soldier and was using It ns a means ot deceiving persons. It was by getting Into the confidence of the people that she proposed to nnd out it any secret Information was being sent out of town Into confederate lines. BETRAYED BY A FEMALE SPY. It was by moans of this woman that Miss Ford was arrested as u southern spy. At least that is the story , as far as It can bo gathered after this lapse of years , when events have grown dim In the memory of most of the participants. It seems the young and beautiful Miss Ford had written to General Job Stuart to give him Important Information regarding the troops In that vicinity , and this dispatch she Intrusted to the union woman spy. Tills was the cause of the trouble , for the letter , of course , fell Into thci hands of the enemy. Soldiers WCPJ sent at once to the Ford home , nnd Mlsi Antoula was placed under arrest as a military prisoner to the union government. She was placed In a carriage under guard and brought down to Washington , her prison cell being in the old capUol building. Hero she re mained for several months , and was at last released when an exchange of prisoners took place. But It was after a long time and not before many trials that she reached her country homo. The building In which so many persons were kept Is now turned Into a row of houses and Is near the capltol. It was while stationed at Fairfax and acting as major on the staff of General Irwln McDowell that Mr. Wlllard fell a victim to the charms of the fair southern belle. And after her return. In March , 1S61 , the wedding was to take place at Fairfax. The major , who was then stationed In Washington as provost marshal , drove up to the village , but. as there was no clerk of the court , no license could be obtained , and It was decided to come down to Washington and hove the marrlago at the capital. So Major Wlllard , Mr. Ford and the brldo-elect started out In ft carriage , driving at a rapid rate for fear that some band of confederate rangers would pounce down and take off the groom as the spoils of war. Being a unl&n officer , his capture would bo n great feather In tholr cap. . So 1t was with fear and trembling that the wedding party sot out to traverse the loug miles of country Infested with southern troops. Just after the departure of the bridal pair n regiment of confederates from Occoqlian , known ns the Chinquapin guards , nnd com manded by Klnchloc , entered the town nnd learned that a union major had left the place a thort while before. In a few moments the troop was galloping down the plko In pursuit of Mia happy pair who wore fleeing towards Washington as fast aa a pair of swift horses would carry them. The elopement In this case , unlike the traditional ono , was not f. case of eluding an Irate parent , but of escaping with him. A NARROW ESCAPE. A few miles out of the village tha soldiers came upon the carriage and ordered It to halt , a request which was promptly complied with , and the two gentlemen , who were In ordinary citizens' dress , Htcpped out to ascertain the causa of the delay. On hnnrlng that I'he ' troopers were In pursuit of a iinlon officer , Mr. Ford , who was wr-ll known to the confederates , said ( hat bath ho and his friend were private gentlemen traveling on entirely personal business , totally unconnected with ajiy military matters , and that they would lute to proceed on their joumoy. AB to any union ofllcer , they had passed , so ho assorted , a sutler * ! wagon aJiout halt -an 'hour before , nnd noticed that In It was seated a man In the uniform of , a federal major. As the wagon was Just then turning Into a sldo road , It would be by that tlmo at least five miles In an opposite direction , The rangers , never suspecting that the object -of their search stood before them ou his wedding trip , 'took the bait and wheeling their horses set out again to trace up tha BUtler'H wagon , an outfit which existed only In tbt imagination of iMr , Ford. On return ing to the town and learning how they had been fooled of their prey , tholr chagrin was Intoneo. The bridal party came down to WaRhlngton at a full gallop , the carrl&go dashing through the mud at break-neck peed , iml the driver plying his lash till the Long bridge was reached. Once Inside the union lines , the party was -safe , ant ] tha marriage was solemnized. Such was the fame of the beautiful Virginia girl's heroism and Bufferings In th rattSH of the confederacy that the va * formally made a lieutenant In the tcjvlco and wore for some tlmo the shoulder utrupi which were the Insignia of her r&nk. Many are the Interesting storlon told of hrr long daj'H In prison , and the trials to ivhlch eho was subjected whllo traveling to i > o cr.- changed as A prisoner of < war , Unfortu nately , Mrs. Wlllard lived but a few years after her marriage , and left but ono Mm , Joseph IS , Wlllard , ivJioto homo is at Fair fax.
