THE CAVALRY OFFICER,

l-.Y J.IETTirVANT JiriiRY. -
. The period of Napoleon's career, when at
its zepith, is full of romantic adventures as
connected with the history of the officers'
lives that served under the great captain. lie
was quick to observe merit, and prompt to
reward it, and this it was that made his fol
lowers so devoted to him, and so auxious to
disginguish themselves by prowess in battle,
and strict soldierly conduct in the Emperor's
service. "... , . ... . ;
Colonel Eugene Mcrviile was an attache of
Napoleon's staff. IIo ' was a soldier in the
true sense of the word devoted to his pro
fession, and brave as a lion. Though very
handsome, and of fine bearing, be was of
humble birth a mere child of the camp, and
had followed the drum and bugle from boy
hood. Every step-in the line of promotion
had been won by the stroke of his sabre; and
his last promotion from major of cavalry was
for a gallant deed, which transpired on the
battle field beneath the Emperor's own eye.
Murat, that prince of cavalry olf.ecrs, loved,
him like a broshcr, and taught him all that
his own good tasle and natural instinct had
not led him to acquire before.
It was the carnival treason in l'uris, and
young Mcrviile found tiimself at the masked
ball in the French Opera House. Belter
adapted in his taste to the field than the bou
doir, he flirts but little with the gay figures
that cover the floor, and joins but seldom in
the giddy waltz. But at last, while stau-aing
thoughtfully, and regarding the assembled eye
his attention was ruddcnly aroused b- the
appearance of a person in a white satin domi
no, the universal elegance of whose figure,
manner, and bearing, convinced all that her
face and mind inutt be equal to her person in
grace and loveliness.
Though in to uiised nn assembly, still there
was a dignity and reserve in the mauuor of
the white domino that rather repulsed the
idea of a familiar address, and it was
s )u 3 timj hjfor3 t!i3 young suldier
found courage to spvuk to her. Some alarm
being given, there was a violent rush of the j
throng towards the door, where. u;ilc3 . as-
sisted, the lady would have materially suffer
ed. Eugene Merville offers his arm, and
with his broad shoulders and stout frame
wards off-the danger. It was a delightful
moment ; the la:- .spoke the purest French ; i
was witty, fanciful, and captivating..
"Ah ! lady, pray raise that mask, and re
veal to me the charms of . feature that mu.-?t
accompany so sweet a-voicc and so graceful a
form as you possess." .......
"You would perhaps be disappointed."
"No, lam sure not." -
"Are you so very confident?"
"Yes, I feel that yoxr are beautiful. It
cannot be otherwise." .
"Don't be too sure of that," said the do
mino. "Have you never heard of the Irish
poet Moore's story of the veiled prophet Kho
rassan how, when he disclosed his. counte
nance, its hideous aspect killed his beloved
one ? How do you know that I shall not turn
out a veiled prophet of Khorassan ?"
"Ah, lady, your every word convinces me
to the contrary," replied the enraptured
soldier, whose heart began to feci as it had
never felt before he was already in love.
She eludes his efforts at discover-, but per
mits him to baud her to her carriage, which
drives off in' the darkness, . and though he
throws himself upon bis fleetest horse, he is
unable to overtake her. '
' The young French colonel becomes moody;
be has lost his heart, an 1 knows not what to
do. He wanders hither and thither, shuns
his former . places of amusement, avoids bis
military companions; and in short is as miser
able as a lover can well be, thus disappointed.
One night, just after he bad left his hotel, on
foot, a figure muffled to the very ears stopped
him. . -
"AVcll, monsieur, what would you with
ins?" asked the soldier." '
"You would know the name of the white
domino wiis the reply. ' '
"I would indeed!" replied the officer," has
tily. "How can it bo done?"
"Follow me."
"To the end of the earth if it will bring
me. to her." . . ,
"But you must be blindfolded." "
"Very well."
"Step into this vehicle."
"I am at Tur command."
And away rattled the young soldier and
bis strange companion
"This may he a trick." reasoned Eugene
Merville, "but I have no fear of personal vio
lence. I am armed with this trusty eabre,;
and can take care of myself. ,r
But there was no cause for fear,, since he
soon found the vehicle had stopped, and he
was led blindfolded into a house. When the
bandage was removed from his eyes he found
himself in a richly furnished boudoir, and be
fore him stood the domino just as he had met
her at the masked ball. Tofall upon his
knees and tell her how; much he had thought
of her since their separation, that bis thoughts
had never left her, that he loved her devoted
ly, was as 'natural as to "breathe, and he did
so most gallantly and sincerely 7
"Shall I believe all you say?" ' ' V- '
"Lady, let me prove it by any test you
may put upon me." E
"Know then that the feelings you avow
are ruutuaL Nay, unloose your arm from my
waist.. I have something more to say."
"Talk on forever, lady !. Your voice is mu
sic to my heart and ears." ...
"Would you marry me, knowing no more
of me than you now do ?" . . '
"Yes, if you were to go to the very altar
masked I" he replied.
"Then I will test you," .
"How, lady?" .- .
"For one year be faithful to the love you
have professed, and I will be yours as truly
as Heaven shall spare my life."
"O cruel, cruel suspense !" .
"You demur ?' .
"Nay, lady, I shall fulfil "your injunctions
as I promised " . - - . - r
"If at the expiration of a year you do not
hear from me, then the contract shall be null
and void. "Take this half ring," she con
tinued, "and when I supply tlie broken por
tion I will bs yours " . ,: ' - ;
He kissed the little emblem, swore again
and again feo be "faithful, jiud -pressing her
hand to his lipj, bade her adieu. He. was
conducted again as mysteriously as he had
been brought thither, nor could . lie by any
possible means discover where he had been ;
his companion rejecting all bribes, and even
refusing to answer the simplest questions..
Months roll on. .Colonel Merville is true
to his vow, and happy in the . anticipation of
love Suddenly he was ordered on au em
bassy to Vienna, that" gayest of all European
capitals, about the time that Napoleon is plan
ning to marry the ArcTi-duchcss Maria Loui
sa. The young colonel is handsome, manly,
and already distinguished in arms, and be
comes at once a great favorite at court, c'very
effort being made by the women to captivate
him, but in vain; he Is constant and true to
his vow.
But his heart was not made of stone ; . the
very fact that he had entertained such feel
ings for the white domino, had doubtless
made him more susceptiblo than before. At
hu t he met the young Baroness Caroline Wal
dorff, and in spite of his vows she captivates
him. and he secretly curses the engagement
he had so blindly luade at Paris She seems
to wonder at what she believes to be his de
votion, and yet-the distance that he main
tains. The truth was, that his sense of honor
was so great, that, though he felt he really
loved the young baroness, and even that she
returned his affection, still he had given his
word,' and it was sacred !
The satin domino was no. longer the ideal
of bis heart, but assumes the most repulsive
form in his imagination, and becomes, in
place of his good angel his evil genius !
Well, time rolls on ; he is to return in a
few days ; it is once more the carnival season,
and in Vienna, too, that gay city. lie joins
in the festivities of the masked ball, and what
wonder fills his brain, when about the middle
of the evening the white domino steals before
him. in the white satin dress he had seen hct
wear a year before at the French Opera House
in Paris. Was it not fancy V
"I come, Colonel Eugene Merville to hold
you to your promise," she said, laying a hand
lightly upon his arm.
"Is this reality or a dream?" asked the
amazed soldier.
"Come, follow me, and you shall see that
it is reality,", continued the mask, pleasantly.
JI will.'-' .
"Have you been faithful to your promise?"
asked the domino, as they retired into a
neighboring saloon.
"Most truly in act, but alas, I fear not in
heart !"
"Indeed."
"It is too true, lady, that I have seen and
loved another, though my vow to you has
kept me from saying so to her " '
"And who is this that you thus love?"
"I will be frank with vou. and you will
keep iriy secret ?" " " '
"Most religiously " -
"' "It is the Baroness Aron Waldorff," he
said, with a sigh.
4 'And you really love her "
"Alas ! only too dearly," said the soldier
sadly. . , ;
f Nevertheless, . I must hold you to your
promise; here is the other half .of tho ring ;
can you produce its mate !"
"Here it is,", said Eugene Merville, -.
" "Then, I, too, keep my promise!'' said the
domino, raising her mask, and showing to
bis astonished view the face of the Baroness
Fon Waldorff! - ....
' Ah, it was the sympathy of true love that
attracted me, after all," exclaimed the young
soldier, as he pressed her to his heart
She had seen and loved hhn f jr his manly
spirit and character, and having found by in
quiry that he m as" worthy of her love, she had
managed this delicate intrigue, and had test
ed Liui, "and now gave to him . her wealth,

DOCSTICKS OX CROTOX WATER.
New Y'okk. July 26.
Only once iu my life have I been drunk.
It was a youthful inebriation caused by par
taking too freely of cider made from apples j
with worms in it. At present I am sober. !
Whether for the iast four and twenty hours I !
have been so, is the iwint requiring eluclda-
tion. If during that period 1 have been in
toxicated, then the time has arrived when any
person who wishes to have regular "druuk"
need only apply to the nearest hydrant. Here
tofore I have supposed water to be a beve
rage innocent and harmless; but now well
no matter I will not anticipate. Listen
while I relate a "nlain. unvarnished tale " !
. 1
I left my boarding house in company with !.
a friend to witness the Shaksperian
at . Burton's the "Midsummer
. . '
Night's '
Dream." Before leaving the hotel, at his
suggestion, wo partook of a potable, known,
I think, as punch whiskey punch. I watch
ed attentively the preparation" of this agree- i
able beverage, and I. am certain that there j
entered into its composition a certain amount
ui water uruiuii water, us a huu cvuv

that treacherous, draught I imbibed . the

of which we drank on the spoH were as cuil- ,
ty, in this respect, as their "illustrious pre-
decessor'." And I fur ther more conscientiously j
stale that my frlass of brandy (one of a cou- j
pie we ordered soon afterwards) and which, j
according to my invariable custom,, should j
have been "straight," was also surreptitously
dilutcd with the same delectable fluid by the
malicious bar keeper, for I remember exper
iencing a slight confusion on going out, and
mistaking a topsail schooner for the Broad way
theatre.
We immediately entered another saloon to
procure the wherewith to steady our nerves
when we partook of two gin cocktails and a
brandy smash individually, and I state accor-
.. .. 111 i
ding to tae test ot my Knowicoge ana ue
lief, that our principal ingredient in each and
every one of these compound's was water
Croton water culpably introduced therein
by some evil disposed persons with -out ac
knowledge' or consent. On leaving this
saloon, I noticed that my friend, although a
single man had by some mysterious process
of multiplication become two. I kept fast
hold of both and, after doubling, with a great
deal of difficulty, a great number and variety
of corners, we reached Burton's. Tickets
being mysteriously procured, we entered, and
eventually obtained seats. Finding after a
prolonged trial, that it was impracticable to
put my hat in my vest pocket, I placed it on
the floor and put both feet on it. The theatre
generally seemed to be some what mixed up
The parquette, gallery, and dress circle were
all one- and the stage was whirling round at
a rate which must have been extremely
inconvenient to the revolving aetpr.
At length, after a liberal allowance of
overture, the curtain went up. and I was
enabled, by the most unremitting attention
to concentrate the actors sufficiently to under
stand the performance. And may things
which I hitherto deemed dramatically incor
rect were presented to my wondering vision
then and there, Vllippolyk' was dressed in
knee breeches and brogans: and "Titania"
did not to me, present a very fairy-like ap
pearance in a fireman's red shirt and a threc
coeked hat. "Opcrou" was not so 'objection
able, (being a gentleman,) in a talma and
plaid pantaloons, though even he might have
blacked bis boots and omitted the spurs.
And I fear I did not properly appreciate the
rest ofthe faries, who had their head.J deco
rated with sunflowers and their hands full of
onions.
At last the entertainment was concluded,
and I remember consulting with my duplicat
ed friends as to the feasibility of a return to

journey thither we witnessed many strange
things about which I desire information. Iu
the first place, is it the custom- as u general '
thing, for the City Hall and Barnum's Mu
seum to indulge in an animated contra dance
up and down Broadway in the middle f the
night, accompanied by their fantastic inure
ments, by the. upper 'story f Stewart's and
the Bible Society' building? for they certain
ly did, on that eventful evening, and I feel
called upon to enter my solemn protest against
theso noctural architectural saltatory ex
hibitions, as uu worthy the digtiity of the
Empire City. Audi would with all humani
ty suggest, that if the stony goddess of Jus
tice, whosa appropriate place is on the top
of the City Hall, will desert her responsible
post she might choose a more becoming
amusement than sitting cross-legged on the
top of a Houston street stage, phi big .the
jewsharp. . '
I am now convinced that Bowling green
fountain is not permanently located on the
top of Trinity Church cross; but that it was
on that memorable night, my wandcriny eyes

I am sufficiently well
acquainted with the city to Know that the
Atlr House should be found on the corner
,,f Barclay-street, but I am ready to take my
oath, that on that particular occasion it plied
"as an opposition ferry boat between Whitehall
street and Hamilton avenue. The last thing
I distinctly recollect is trying to paythe fare !

Eight hours after the Europa sailed, came
the official news of a great battle having been
fought at Alina river; Crimea, on the 21st.
The allies stormed the Russian entrenchments
after four hours fighting. The Anglo-French
lost 2800 killed and wounded; the Russians
lostCOOO.
Private despatches supply the rest of the
news, viz; that the Russians, under Menchik
off, rallied on the river Katscha, on the 23d,
and again gave battle to the allies, and wero
again defeated and driven to there entrench
ment behind Sevastopol. Again' they rallied
! and fought a third battle on the 21th, and
were a third timer defeated, and fled into Se
