After Waterloo.
Until 11 o'clock at night the emperor
had marched with the last battalions
of grenadiers that still supported the
retreat. Accompanied by Soult,Drouot,
Bertrand, several officers and a dozen
red lancers and chasseurs of the guard,
he reached Quatre-Bras at 1 o'clock in
the morning, vainly hoping to find
there the Division GIrard, which had
been ordered to that point.
The emperor dismounted in a glade
of the forest of Bosser, near a bi
vouac fire, kindled by some grenadiers
of the guard. A wounded officer, flee
ing along the road, recognized the em
peror by the firelight He was stand
ing erect, bis arms folded upon his
breast, motionless as a statue, his eyes
fixed in the direction of Waterloo.
There were no tidings from Grouchy,
who, they feared, must be in danger.
The emperor ordered Soult to advise
him of the retreat of the army, and
direct him to retire upon the lower
Sambre. Soldiers of every branch of
the service were running along the
road and across the fields. Command
ant Baudus, on horseback among the
fugitives, saw the little group of the
imperial staff and Joined it The em
peror asked if he had not met some
army corps not entirely disorganized.
Baudus replying that not far from
Quatre-Bras he had passed the Fifth
Lancers still marching in order under
Col. Jacqueminot "Go instantly,"
said the emperor, "and order him to
stop at Quatre-Bras. It 13 late, and
the enemy finding this point occupied,
will probebly halt." Baudus started
at a gallop, hut fire opening upon him
from the first houses at the cross roads
he returned to the emperor and en
treated him to withdraw, "since he had
no longer any support" As he spoke
he saw that Napoleon was silently
weeping for his shattered army. In
his gloomy face, pallid as wax, there
was no life except these tears.
But In this dejection the emperor
retained his presence of mind. The
Girard Division not appearing, he con
cluded that his orders had miscarried.
If ignorant of the defeat, it was in
danger of being surprised and captured
by the enemy. He ordered Baudus to
hasten to Fleurus and bring up the di
vision on the right bank of the Sam
bre. Then, yielding to necessity, he
set out for Charleroi, where he arrived
at five in the morning to find only the
maddest confusion. The single bridge
across the Sambre had give: way un
der the pressure of escaping French
troops. The streets were choked with
fugitives and encumbered with the
broken and pillaged vehicles of the
hospital trains jd the commissariat
A false alarm that the Prussians bad
attacked the town had destroyed all
discipline. The citizens and the sol
diers had rifled the military chest
which the paymaster had bravely but
vainly endeavored to save. The coach
containing the military portfolio had
been stopped; but the Due de Bassano
was able to destroy the most important
papers. To restore order was impos
sible. After giving a few orders,
which no one obeyed, the emperor pur
sued bis way on horseback to Philippe
vllle, where he was joined by the Due
de Bassano and other ofuccrs.and again
by Marshal Soult
His first efforts were to rally the
army. Orders were dispatched to cer
tain commandants to take charge of
such detachments and stragglers as
they could collect supply them with
food and arms, and direct them to
specified places of rendezvous. A new
order was sent to Marshal Grouchy,
to retire upon Philippeville or Gevit
Then the emperor wrote two letters
to his brother Joseph, the one care
fully relating the result of the battle,
to be read to the council of ministers.
The other, a private letter, disguising
nothing of the great disaster, announc
ing his immediate return to Paris. The
second letter closed with these words:
"All is not lost By uniting my forces,
all reserves, the National Guard, I
shall have three hundred thousand
men to oppose to the enemy. But I
must be aided, not hampered. I be
lieve that the deputies will feel it to
be their duty to unite with me in or
der to save France."
The direct route from Philippeville
to Paris was unavailable on account of
the bodies of Prussian cavalry over
running the country. At Rocroi, on
the circuitous route he chose, the in
habitants, unaware of the great disas
ter, swarmed to see and salute the em
peror. Their acclamations awakened
him In his carriage. At Mezicres, the
want of fresh horses delayed the im
perial party from half past ten until
midnight When at last they got off
the soldiers of the garrison shouted.
"Vive l'Empereur!" until the last car
riage had passed the glacis.
The next evening at Laou, Faubourg
de Vaux, the emperor alighted in the
courtyard of the post house. Through
the wide open door they could see him
from the street walking up and down,
his head bent his arms crossed upon
his breast There was a quantity of
straw scattered in the court upon
which the stables opened. One of the
bystanders said. In a low tone: "See
Job on his dung-heap!" Napoleon
seemed so downcast, the scene was so
Impressive, even to the rustic mind,
that they dared not acclaim him. A
few timid, half-stifled shouts of "Vive
l'Empereur!" came from the crowd.
The emperor stopped and raised his
hat
A detachment of the National
Guard arrived to form the guard of
honor. The emperor made every pro
vision for rallying-his scattered forces.
Then, after nightfall, without waiting
for Marshall Soult. whom he had left
with orders at Philippeville. he re
sumed his hurried journey to Pari3.
waers his enemies were conspiring and
where his greatest danger lay.
Without soldiers, and without eammcB,
he could not face the enemy on- the
frontier. Soult and the generals were
as competent as himself to collect and
reorganise the stragglers. From Paris,
with Davoust and Carnot, he hoped
to forward to Laon all available troops,
all stores of provisions and arms; with
the co-oparatlon of the Chambers, to
secure fresh levies of men and supplies
and in three or four days return to
take command.
It has been charged that Napoleon
"abandoned his army." as in Egypt
and Russia. Alas! Napoleon had no
longer an army. He kne-r nothing of
Grouchy, with the 'divisions of Van
damne and GIrard, but believed him
to be in great peril. Of the 74.000 com
batants of Waterloo, possibly 40,000
might have escaped across the Sambre,
but more than three-fourths of these
men were scattered from Cambral to
Rocroi, making their way homeward,
singly or in little parties. When Na
poleon left Laon for Paris, the 20th of
June, he had 2.600 soldiers assembled
at Phlllippevllle, and about 6,000 at
Avesnes. This was the army.
A Ilrave Mae.
"That is one of the bravest men I
ever knew," said Gen. F.osecrans,
pointing out his inspector-general, Ar
thur .C. Ducat "I saw him cooly face
almost certain death, to perform a
duty. Three on the same duty had
fallen before his eyes, and he had to
run the gauntlet of a thousand mus
kets, but he did it"
The word3 were spoken to James R.
Gilmore, while on a visit to "Old
Rosey's" army at Murfreesborough,
who records them in his "Personal
Recollections."
Ct. Rosecrans referred to Ducat's
behavior at the battle of Iuka. The
inspector-general had observed that a
regiment of Gen. Stanley's division was
about to be overwhelmed by a much
larger force of the enemy.
"Ride on and warn Stanley at once,"
said Rosecrans, as Ducat reported the
danger. An acre on fire and swept
with bullets lay between him and the
menaced regiment Ducat glanced at
it and said:
"General, I have a wife and chil
dren." "You knew that when you came
here," answered Rosecrans, coolly.
"I'll go, sir." said Ducat, moving his
horse forward.
"Stay a moment We must make
sure of this," said the general, begin
ning to write dispatches, the paper
resting on the pommel of his saddle.
He wrote three; gave one to each of
three orderlies, and sent them off, at
intervals of about sixty yards, over
the bullet swept field. Then he look
ed at Ducat, who had seen every one
of the orderlies fall lifeless, or desper
ately wounded. Without a word, he
plunged into the fire, ran the gauntlet
in rafety, got to Stanley, and saved
the regiment, but his clothes were
torn by Minle balls, and his horse
received a mortal wound.
Ex-Soldiers Colonising.
Several thousand American regulai
soldiers are to be mustered out in
Torto Rico ani Cuba in the next few
weeks, says a Washington correspon
dent of the New York Press. They will
receive their extra pay, orders for pas
sage home on government transports,
and the mileage from the port to the
places where they enlisted. It will
be optional with them to return to
the United States.
These soldiers will be turned loose
on the Islands. What proportion of
them will elect to remain where they
are discharged the government has vo
means of judging. Discharges are now
being granted to regulars who enlisted
for the war at the rate of about 100 a
day in Cuba. Many of these discharg
ed men are apparently in no haste to
return to this country, and there are
so many of them now in Havana that
they cause uneasiness among the Cu
ban police. So far these Americans
have behaved remarkably well. They
have given as little trouble as a like
number of recently discharged soldiers
might in an American city.
The growth of a disposition on the
part of these soldiers to settle the is
lands is being observed with much in
terest from Washington. It has a
bearing on the question of assimilation
of the Porto Ricans and the Cubans bv
the United States.
A Carious 8wls Cantom.
The tenacity with which Europeans
cling to ancient ways is seen in a curi
ous custom which prevails at the pres
ent day in Basel, a Swiss city of near
ly 100,000 inhabitants. Horses being
very expensive in Switzerland.the mid
dle classes cannot afford the luxury,
and when a young man becomes en
gaged to be married he levies on one
of his rich neighbors for a span.
Though he may not know the rich man
even by sight, he notifies him that he
wishes his carriage and footman to call
at his home at a specified time. He
then uses the conveyance to call with
his fiancee upon everybody of their
acquaintance. At the marriage the
same thing takes place again. It is
expected that the groom will give a
tip of from $2 to $4 to each coachman
so employed.
The Land of Dacks.
There are more ducks in the Chinese
empire, says an authority, than in all
the world outside of it. They are
kept up by the Celestials on every
farm, on the private roads, on the pub
lic roads, on the streets of cities, and
on all the lakes, ponds, rivers, streams
and brooks in the country. Every
Chinese boat also contains a batch of
them. There are innumerable hatch
ing establishments all through the em
pire, many of which are said to turn
out about 50,000 young ducks every
year. Salted and smoked duck, and
ducks' eggs, constitute two of the most
common and important articles of diet
in China.

Julius Goldschmldt, consul general
Of the United States in Germany, con
cerning the horses that are used by
the German army, says:
The following report concerning
horses for the German army is based
on Information received from officers
and from an experience" veterinary
surgeon who has for years superin
tended the purchase of horses for one
of the Germany army corps. The so
called "remonte" horse markets, public
and private, take place in the months
of April, to September In the parts of
Germany where horses are plentiful,
mostly Jn East and West Prussia, oc
casionally in Posen. Hanover, Hol
steln, and Mecklenberg, and, rarely, In
the Alsace and the Rhine provinces.
Private remonte markets are allowed
to horse breeders, who have for years
furnished a large and superior quota
of animals for the army, and
who can offer lots of from 20 to 80
good horses. Such private markets
may even be held on the grounds of
the horse breeders and occur mostly
in East and West Prussia. In Lith
uania proper there are more private
than public markets.
The buying is done by five army
commissariats', consisting each of one
presiding officer, one to two assistant
officers, "one veterinary surgeon, and
one secretary. The horses purchased
are generally three years old. In ex
ceptional cases four years. The for
mer remain one year at the remonte
depots before they are turned over to
the regular service. There are no
fixed rules as to the weight of the
horses, and when horses are weighed
in such places it is on account of selen
itic food experiments or private in
terests. Bult it is safe to say that full
breasted, compactly-built horses are
used. They will average in weight
about as follows:
Artillery draft horses, 1.100 to 1,200
pounds, artillery saddle horses 900
pounds, cuirassier horses 1.000 to 1.100
pounds. Uhlan horses 900 to 1.000
pounds, hussar and dragon horses 800
to 900 pounds.
The common run of horses for the
line cavalry are bought at from 80 to
$100, while the heavier horses for ar
tillery run from $140 to $160, and the
best horses, which are used for the
Kurassier Garde regiments, are seldom
bought under $200. This applies to
the remonte commissariat's work. Of
ficers, as fc rule., ride East Prussian
horses. Those that can afford it buy
English blooded stock at fancy prices.
The best Prussian horse brings from
$225 to $340. These are all however
bought at an age of from 5 to 6 years
and well trained, since the Prussian
horse is hardly fit for use before Its
sixth year is concluded. English and
Irish horses, which are largely bought
in Hamburg, are, owing to the richer
nourishment they receive on their na
tive pastures when young, fit for use
at the age of four .to five years, and
are less nervous, shy and excitable
than the Prussian horses. The Irish
horse Is the easiest to ride under all
circumstances, the early wholesome
nourishment giving it a calmer and
more docile temper. I have reason to
believe that under the name of Irish
stock many American horses are sold
in Hamburg, as the description given
of them closely resembles that of the
American horse. It would be well for
the American horse breeders or horse
dealers to correspond with large firms
In Hamburg, such as the "English
Stall" or the "Olde Stall." before en
tering largely in the shipping business.
Alfalfa and Corn for Hogs Tho
farmers of the corn belt can get a
good pointer on pig feeding from the
alfalfa belt. I have seen a pig that
was farrowed Sept. 20, 1898, and raised
on a ration two thirds of which wa3
alfalfa hay. which is as large as any
pig I can find In the corn belt farrowed
In June, July or August. The nup
tials of King Corn and Queen Alfalfa
are announced to take placo on my
farm at an early date. The fourth
cutting of alfalfa is the best hay for
bogs In winter. This cutting is done
late in the fall and Is raked immedi
ately and shocked, thus curing with
out very much sun. The leaves and
all are saved in a succulent condition,
thi'.s making a feed that is relished by
the pigs. Homestead.
Why Fresh Bones Make Eggs. Tho
different parts of ordinary market
bones upon analysis were found to con
tain In abundance the ingredients
which go to make up the growing
chick, and in wonderfully close pro
portion, the different parts of the com
plete egg. The lean meat and gristle
from the white of the egg, and about
sixteen per cent of the yolk. The mar
row and other fat on the bones sup
ply the remainder of the yolk. The
lime phosphates in the bone yield all
the necessary lime salts for the shell,
and the requisite phosphates for the
interior of the egg. A. C. Pickering,
in Farm and Home.
Deep Plowing Profitable. Land that
is plowed endures the drouths better
than shallow plowed land, as there is
a greater absorption of moisture. In
other words, the deeper the soil Is
plowed the greater its capacity for
holding water. To prevent loss of this
moisture the top soil should be culti
vated so as to simply loosen it, which
prevents evaporation and at the same
time keeps the weeds down. The water
in the soil escapes at the surface, and
this should be prevented by a mulch
of loose dirt over the surface, which is
effected by cultivation. Ex.
Oleo Prosecutions In Pennsylvania.
The butter trade of Philadelphia has
taken up the prosecution of the oleo
dealers, and have already secured evi
dence of the violation of both the state
and national law, and propose to push
the suits to a conclusion. In the in
vestigation fifty retail dealers have
been found selling the stuff without
even the formality of a government
license. In every case they were sell

Ash Is what Is left when the com

making bones. Part of the ash con
stituents of the food is stored up In
the animal's body; the rest Is voided
in the urine and manure.
Organic nitrogen is nitrogen in com

"When Col. Richard I. Dodge," says
the Kansas City Journal, "was in com
mand of one of the southern Kansas
forts many years ago, he was aston
ished one day to receive a delegation
of Indians who complained to him of
the quality of the soap issued to iliem
by the government. Thinking it would
be impossible to make soap too bad ior
an Indian, Dodge investigated, with
the result of finding that the i.ibe
had been eating their soap allowance
and didn't like the taste."
