NAPOLEON Hi, AND THE SEN
TINEL.
AN EPISODE OF TILE ITALIAN CAMPAIGN
[The following truthful incident of
the present Emperor of France is re
lated in the Wee/1y Herald of May 9.
Aside from its romance, the story
possesses unusual interest for us at
this time, and may serve as - a lesson
to some of our officers in high com
mand.]
'lhe French troopswere,,poured
:into Italy : at the commencement of
the campaign with a rapidity, bord.es
ing upon the marvellous. They cross
'od.the Alps by thousands, and swarm
ed into tbe.plains of Piedmont when
the. Austrians deemed them its;yet
scarcely, oat of their --barracks ,in
France. Tho display of activity was
wonderful. Every hour transports
arrived at Genoa, conveying cavalry
and artillery, which landed and join
ed the infantry, who had crossed the
mountains, so speedily as to defeat
the plans of the Austrians, the march
ing upon Turin, which capital they
were aware was almost defenceless.
To their eurprise a few days placed
between their and the 'devoted city
one hundred thousand of Napoleon's
troops, and,at once the Austrians be
gan a retrograde movement... They
were in immense force, over two hun
dred and fifty thousand ; but they saw
proper to await the attack of the
French and Sardinian as
instead
of finishing , on boldly,- as- they had first
evinced the intention ofdoing.
.''The Emperor of the French: took
up his headquarters at Alex - and..:, a
fortified city. in Piedmont, and here
he remained some twenty days, : dur
ing which time there reigned au
ap
parent inactivity which the Austriabs
deemed unaccountable. They were
not aware that the,French troops
were moved by night. .They had pus
session ,ofthe railroads, and during
the interval referred to• they were
massed in -811011 places :as :Napoleon
designated to his officei.s. , ,He took
counsel of none; gave no reasons,lfor
any. of his Eactions i .and surveyed:him-
Solfthe countryiover which : his troops
were to move.'
DAVID . B. LONG
"Ono morning at two'o'clocka mes
sengqoroni the palace: informed
bamble,(an Buglishman who has for
Bin - I'76or'
saddle horses) that his majesty wished
tO'h - ave held in readiness three of his
best steeds. An hour after the Em
peror, Captain Vergne and Mr. Gam
ble were conveyed in a special train
to Casale, the extreme outpost of the
Prone . ) and Sardinian lines. They
took their horses with them, and ..at
Casale mounted and rode for some
miles, until they had crossed the T -
er Po, and were actually in sight.of
the Austrian camp. As th•e daylight
dawned are Emperor observed that
large bodies of Austrian troops were
moving in the direction of Straddle,
and heat once concluded they intend
ed crossing the river at that point.
lie was anxious to. prevent this, as it
turned out afterward that he himself
wished to cross, his army at that
place.. He ordered Captain Vergne
to gallop off t o General Baz.aine's di•
visions, and request them to march at
once towards Stradella, from which
they were distant some fifteen
They were to use all dispatch. -
"He then turned' toward his own
lines, With the intention of ordering
forward such troops as he deemed ne
cessary to prevent the successful cross
ing of the river by the heavy masses
of Austrians he had observed . under
march. As ho,bad command of the
railroad, he was,eware thatJA could
throw several `regiments of picked
troops forwarcl .in, time to check the
advance of the Austrians, and could
thus hold them back until the arrival
of General Bazaine's which
was-one of the finest in the ; French
army. The emperor rode as fast as:
be could in the uncertain light, over
the broken rice fields and marshy
meadows, until at last he •api.vauhed
the outposts of his army. lie was
cantering along, when suddenly a sol
dier stepped from behind a clump of
mulberry trees and caught the bridle
of his horse.
"Qui ta la ?' shouted the sentinel.
The man was stationed alone far out
from the ranks. He Was what the
French call a .sentinel perdu,' (a lone
sentinel,) what we call a picket
"Give the countersign,", said the
soldier, as he stepped back and held
his Musket back for immediate use.
The emperor was sorely puzzled ; he
did not know the countersign, which
he had not learned, as ho intended
coming back as he had gone—in the
cars. Gamble was likewise in igno•
ranee as to the mot d'odre.
, You can go no further unless you
give the countersign, or can show me
a pass from the Grand Prevot,' insist
ed the sentinel.
"Gamble dismounted, and, stepping
up to the soldier, who kept a keen
watch upon his every movement, in
formed him that it was the Emperor
Napoleon that he was thus detaining.

strongly enough to blow out the

a priioner for two hours, and ftat a
moment he deemed of paramount im

when the war broke out, was COM.

THE HARDEST MODE TO DIE. ?—To
be shot dead is one of the easiest:
modes of terminating life; yet, rapid
as it is, the - body has leisure to - feel
and reflect. On the first attempt, by
one of the frantic adherents of Spain,
to assassinate William,
Prince of Or
ange, whip took the lead in the revolt
of the Netherlands, the ball passed
through the bones of -the face and
brought him to the ground. In-the,
instant preceding stupefaction, he
was able to frame a notion that the
ceiling of the room bad fallen and
crushed him, , The cannon-shot which
plunged into the.brain of Charlei XII.
didnot prevent - him from seizing his
sword by the hilt. The idea of an at
tack, and the necessity of defence, I
was pressed upon him by a blow
which we sbobld have supposed too
tremendous 'to leave an interval Of I

unless death be immediate, the pain
is as varied as the nature of.th.einju

But there is nothing singular in the
dying sensation, though Lord Byron
remarked the physiological peculiari

that of langour, while in death from
a stab the countenance reflects .the
traits of natural character, of gentle-

GET ENOUGH SLEEP.—We have often
heard young men remark that four or
five hours' sleep was all they wanted,
and all that the human system requir
ed. The habit of going without Snti
eieut sleep is very injurious. Thous.
ands, no doubt,' permanently injuro
their health in this way. We. live in
a fast age, when everybody seems td
be:trying to pervert the order of na
ture. If folks will persist in turning
night -into day, it is not to be wonder
ed that few last to the allotted term
of life. No matter what be a man's
acetipation=physical or Mental, or,
like Othello's, "gone," and living in
idleness—the constitution cannot last;
depend upon it; without a sufficiency
of regular and refreshing sleep., - Sad
Hunter, the great surgeon, died 'and
denly of . spasmodic " affection or the

by want of sleep. In a volume just
published by a medical man, there ia
one great lesson that hard students
and literary men may learn, and that
is, that _Hunter probably killed him
self by taking too little sleep. "Four
hours' rest at night, and one after
dinner cannot he deenied sufficient tO
