Above the town there is ‘8 fine old castle in ruins, and over the bridge one rides into a triangular market-place surrounded by shops, each of which has a stone loggice front of it. In the middle of one side of the Urian- Ee Manas the Hotel de France, the most Old forid hostelry I have come across. After the Dattle of the 16th of August at Viouville, William transferred his neadquarters from place and the Hotel de France. During the forenoon of the 17th, ina room I shall preseatly decribe, he was busily occu- pled with ince Frederick Charles, von Moltke, ‘and General Stiehie, drawing up the plans and issu- ing the general dispositions for the coming battle— ‘she great slaughter of Gravelotie. During the day ‘ube Urst and second armies were concentrated for combined grand attack upon the Freach army of ‘the Rhil and King Will left the Hotel de ‘France at four a. m., reached the heights of Flavig- BY at six, assumed the command in chief, and ai- fected his army from the saddie all Uhe fearfui and, for France, fatal day of August 18,1870, His head: quarters served us as a bedroom. It is an enor- | mous apartment, occupying the whole area of the hotel onthe first'story, with a diminutive French four-post bedstead" in two corners, th Test of the polished parquet being quite unoc- eupled, as though it were prepared for a ball, ‘while the walls Were covered with old family por ‘traits, all of much interest, and many of them ap- parently of considerable merit. Round the Sides were a number of pieces of delightful old French furniture, Whose ancestors the po traits re] tei Ido not know, If those of excellent lady who conducts the hotel, she can boast a variegated and remarkabie descent. War- Tors, priests, an archbishop or two, a score of gentry, both jadies and gentiemn—the former in the shortest of Waists, the latter in velvet coats of every cut—looked dowa upon us. In fact, when ‘we found ourselves alone, with a single candle in the middle of the room, the scene Was precisely al ‘TRE SECOND ACT OF “RUDDYGORE,” except that the pictures did not join in thetr sol- ema chorus and “step into the world once more, however welcome the company of some of them would certainly have been. Perhaps we had both duly committed our dally crime, though had we sup] ed that the absence of this afforded any rol lity that we should, like the Bad Baronet, favored with the ancestral Visiturs in fesh and biood, virtae would have had an additional and Dovel incentive. But we siept well, and I can strongiy recommend any one who wishes for “soft nights and soiid dinners” in a charming, genuine oid French town, where tbe name of Gook is never and where the “sword and shield” of exvor- on “rust for lack of enemies,” to strike the Moselle and go down It Uil he reaches Pont 4 Mons- son, then find the Hotel de France, make friends with the landlady, and stop there Beyond its historical associations, however, Pont @ Monsson and the Moselle have nothing todo with the immediate question of the Franco-German frontier, and no More, for the matter of that, has Nancy. Still it ts a town ot h a marked indi- viduality and such a pecutar charm that | cannot refrain from dwelling upoa it for afew minutes. The individuality, so far as one can confidently analyze it, ts due to the fact that there are nomanufactures —al least no visible ones—there, and Usal the town 1s supported by independent people of moderate means. No fewer than 20,000 renlers Of Uhis cla: have migrated out of Alsace and Lorraine to take up their residence in Nancy since1870. The whole town reflects life of this Kind. It is admirabiy clean, solidly and well-butit, there appear Wo be no slums or back streets, the trees in its numerous little parks show signs of daily attention, the peo- ple are all well dressed. There are 1anumerabie excellent cafés, and in the town hall is the best collection of pictures, both ancient and modern, ‘that I have seen outside a capital. An added dig- inityand old-worldness is conferred upon its reapeci- able modern life by the medieval gateways and wall, which, in wonderful preservation, make a complete circult of the town. One castle gateway bas ‘so Well preserved and so intelligently re- stored that It cannot differ much at the present mnoment from what it was tn appearance in the My companion, Mr. Joseph Pennell, made sketches of this from several points of vie I dare say the readers of //arper's Maga- zine Will enjoy sooner or later. The chief square in the town Is little less remarkable, It is cl ateach corner by huge gateways of exquisitely wrought tron. There is an old Hotel de Ville on one side and a guard-house on the other, the rest of it being taken up almost enureiy with white cafés; and in the middie stands a huge bronze statue to “Stanislas le Bienfaisant,” one of the old Dukes of Lorraine. Nancy ts uot a place to leave in twenty-four hours, a8 We were ovliged to do, but one to spend weeks tn.

From Nancy we turned our fuces once moreto the frontier line, and atthe point where it runs alot the top of the chain of the Vosges, and 13. crossed by the two or three passes through which the Germans came in swarms in 1870, and Uhrough which the French military authorities contidentiy expect them to come again if the fortune of war wills it, We took the raliway by Lunéville a8 far as St. Dig.
