The Germans have leit us debts behind them. The Prussians were most disliked. They were arrogant and offensive. The Wrtemburgers were unobtrusive and good na- tured. All the German troops were kept under ADMIRABLE DISCIPLINE, and formed a great contrast to ours. I am bound to confess, upon my honor and conscience, that I do not think they behaved ill, and that their con- duct, upon the whole, gave the most remarkable instance of discipline and seli-controi ever recorded in military annais. The gracious and kindly gentleman rose at last, and those were his larewell words, {tis well, it is only just towards the German: at they shoud be recorded. 1 looked at the red ribbon of the French. knighthood upon M. Vernet’s breast as I took leave of him, and 1 thought that it had seldom been worn more worthily. ‘As I was at dinner an envelope was put into my hand. It contained a card, and on this card was written a polite intimation trom the poiite clerks of M, Dauphinot that this gentleman would not be at Rheims on the foliowing day—*Our M.

She was perfectly civil, as his city clerks had been, and she seemed quite proud of her master, as | though she bad @ part proprietorship in that emi- nent citizen. It is all very well for cynics to sneer at human life and human opinions. They are, tn- | deed, fauity and miserable enough, but, somehow, it happens that no man can steal a good reputa- tion, Those wno know us soon contrive to take a just estimate of our character. No one | could pass the gate of M. Dauphinot without feeling that he was in a good man’s house; in the habitation of one who deservedly enjoyed the world’s esteem, There Was no pomp or parade about the house. It was merely a house made to live in, but it bad a delicious air of combort, clean- liness and care about it. I woe shown into u small room with a piano init, and upon the table was the — Revue des Deus Mondes, which bas been the best periodical in France tor nearly two generations. The room was delightluily cool and fresh. Through its open windows came the sound of a cock’s shrill clarion and the periumed breath of many flowers, with the measured ring of a hammer upon ananvil, | which betokened the presence of strong armed labor in the neighborhood. | Presently M. Dauphinot came in. He was a | hearty, cheeriul man of about fifty, with gray whiskers and brown hair, anda face made ruddy by good living and exposure to the air, He was sinoking A REMARKABLY GOOD CIGAR, He was dressed like a well-to-do Jarmer, and around his neck was loosely tied an Indian stik handkerchief. | He wok Lis place without ceremony upon the | chintz covered sofa, and, having seated himself at ease, motioned me to a place beside him.

They were very hungry people, and paid dearly for what they ate aud drank. They must have left a deal of money in Rneims, and the town is unquestionably richer than it was. “They were cruel, and did high handed thing: but they were cruei from calculation, not [ro choice, and committed atrocities in order to strike terror into a somewhat light! minded peopie, who could neither have been talked nor cajoled into submission. I remember the case of the Curé of Cuchery. It was cited as one of the darkest events of the war; but he brought his death upon himself. He had given information to the sranc-tireurs and gloried in it. Then the Germans shot him. [ could have saved him bad I known that he was condemned; but I knew nothing of his case till aiter his execution. ‘The thing was undoubtediy | done in hot blood and under the influence of anger rovoked.
