Prom the Chicago Inter Ocean
Major General Ynkovitch of the
Russian Army is one of the few
men now living who saw the great
Napolcon on the battlefield The
old gentleman saw the French Em
psror at Borodino At that battle
Yakovttch then a mere boy served
with a battorj in the grand re-
doubt which wa the center ot the
Russian line lie gives a vivid
descriptionof the battle When
morning bree a sea of gray mist
shnt out the ik < l from view The
voices of the enemy were heard
the nciglriig of their hurecs and
the rumbling of artillery wheels
Then camo the thunder of cannon
making the very earth tremble
Three times all the Russian gun-
ners were killed and three times
new men took their places Bui
lets flew thick as hail and men
dropped dead or mangled eyerj
moment
At last a Etran c Eonnd was
heard in the distance like rain pat
terlng on vrithercd leaves It grew
louder and louder until it filled
the airlike tho roar of a stormv
eea All at once a ixreafc wave or
bright swords and helmets and
horses headc came surging up over
the breastworksi Jt wasthoJm
Fastening Qsidr3i a Cellar penal Gnard Before the shock of
that mighty wave the Russian cen-
ter crumbled away shattered
rtrccka When Yakovitch caiue
to his senses and opened hiseyes
he saw around him tho corpses
his father n4 comrades Sudd
ly the tramping of hoofs called his
attention to a tropp of gayly dress
ed officers and Napoleons staff
came riding ovjr the field The
young Russian peered anxiously in
their faces In his graphic laiir

There were tho hard faces of
Rapp and Darn and broadchested
Sebastian and Nansouty with the
sabcrscar across his cheek and tho
low broad forehead and bnilldog
jaw of grim old Ncy the bravest
of them all There too was Mu-
ral with his white pltimes and his
braided jacket his riding whip in
his handjust like a circus rider
And then the group parted sudden-
ly and there was the man himself
in the midst of them with his face
hard and immovable as marble
amid all that blood and agony and
a faraway look in those cold giay
eyes of his as if he saw Moscow
3ome where away up in the sky
but conld see nothing between A
glorious victory cried Murat way
ing his hand What a stir therell

ITottwas shot Shoot was not In
this case it was belter to be Skotfc
than Nott There is a rumor that
Nott was not shot and Shott avow
that he shot iNurf which j proves
either that the ehot Shott shot ac
Nott was not shor or thaf Nott
was shot notwithstanding Circuni
stautial evidence is not always good
It may be made to appear on trial
that tho sho > ShQ t shot shot Nott
or as accidents with fire arms ar
frequent it may be possible that
the shot Shott shot shotSliott him
self when the whole affair would
resolve itself into its original ole

and Not would be not Wo think
however that the shot Shott shot

Every night the whole dome of
the mountain is ilium rusted by
the fires from the lara as if byfca
great electric light plant Many
severe earthquake shocks have been
felt recently and these are regard-
ed by the natives as signs of an out-
