How He Won his Cross. "Oome, tell us, Mrrgeant, how did

you win your cromr ^ • v ^ This qtiMtion was put up by oi)o of

. m number of young iioldiem who^ stood around . Sergeant Mancbot in_ the grounds of the Invalided. The person addressed was an old one-armed man, who seemed to think that a certain air of fierce, unsmiling gravity moet be­came a soldier of the empire; but who, it was well known, hid one of the kind­liest hearts under the outer form of stern severity. On being thus ques­tioned, he took* well-used pipe from his mouth, slowly puffed out.a column of smoke, drew himself as erect as age would permit him, and replied: .

**Won my cross! Ye*, mon enfant, yo'u say right; in those days we had to win a cross—it was not given. It was worth winning, too. We didn't, with the emperor, gain glory by light­ing against one another. There was no barricades then—no battles in the streets of Paris, That great man. so wonderful in his genius, SO indomi­table in his courage, who always con­quered, would not allow it; and lettne tell you, no one dared to do what he said they should not—he soon made short work.

"Ah! those/wert> the days when; we knew what true freedom * was. There were none pf your republicans, your Orleanists, your old ^or your new parties, We were all Frenchmen, then. —Frenchmen, do you hear roe, triv children? It was against the enemies of la belle France we fought—against thorn who hated the great nation be-ofum it was so glorious. i 'Tm^twiUo^rainstthemweFroach-inen always fought; and when traitors did not betray us. we always conquer­ed. They dould never defeat him, the emperor, by fair means. Ah, with what glory he covered France!" j The old' man's eyes glistened with Whusiasm, and his face glowed. | "But all this is changed now," con-tiftued the old soldier in a mournful ! t o n e * • • • .. . - j ^ •-,••.-• .•-/•• . . , ' ! * • - ! • ' "

j "France, shame upon her I does not care what her enemies do. The grand army is no more. But you wish to [know how I gained my cross. * Well, I [will tell you, for it will show whfct a man the emperor was.* -j

"It was the 6th of November. For m long time our march had been full of glqry. The enemy had fl^U before

line, for whenever he tried to stand we defeated him. We had reached Has-sow—that fatal city. We were to have wintered there. But what did these cowardly vi 11 ians of Russia do? ^Why, as you khow, they burnt down their town? i -.. - »* • r '-- •• ./v| ' v<

"We wtjto cdanpelled to retreat; and terrible march we had had, what

with frost, snow and hunger. It vwas the 6th of November, I say. We had just fought the battle of 'Viafema, and won it of course. The etnpero#, in his Order of the day, said we had annihila­ted the entemy. Still we had to re-Uai not before the Russian&v^no, we had crushed tliem, 1 tell ^ou-^but be-1 fore the weather; it was terrible. Oh, what frost! It frose the very marrow in our botiea Oh, what snow! It cut our skins; it blinded us; we sank in to our knees as <w* marched. We hid been en route since 6 O'clock, and it was now past noon. An awful march it was. The ground over which we passed was strewn with the dead and dying. Not that we saw much of the f ok—no, those we had not killed knew too well what they would get if they came near us. It was that terri­ble coM and the teipty stomachs that did for us. * When these made any fall behinfl, the rascally Cossacks hang­ing all around us like a swarm of bees, either kiljed or plundered them, or, if they were at all able to walk, stripped, them, and thten, tying them to their horses, made' them run at their sides till they dropped from coldt hunger, and fatigue.

"Many of the officers and men in my company had thus perished. All w r e dispirited—no song, no shout, no joke, and what was worse than all, no grumbling. The sullenness and reck-lessness of utter, ojespair had taken hold^>fus. ..•».. .".... n r *

L

"Oui captain ^was a terrible little man—not a braver one than he in the whole irmy. And then, yon see we were sjll brave. He did nqt stand then so high1' (pointing to his shoul* der), "put he Would have his o,wn way —hemade us do it; if he said no, it wap no); if he said yes, then yes; he

Ii would not change. We called him Captaii Tetu, ajid my faith! it was a goodnlme, for he was obstinate.

4 'He [had been a stout, red-faced man; but n*w, how changed!—thin, pale, and bLfgard. Nothing could how* ever, dHve away his took of firmness. Re was hardly able to keep up with us, but hf] was determined not to give in as long as he had life, so on and still onhearawled. He had wrapped his shoelfjk feet in his handkerchiefs,

* • •

which Were now deeply sffined with the blood that oosed from his wounds.

j Two or three times I had offered him my arm for his support, but he had refused it angrily. /

"What P> said he, "do you think I ean'i walk as well as anotherl Am I a child( Every one needs al l . his strength for himself/'

"At last he told nie if I dared to bother him with my offers to assist him, he would have me punished se­verely,^ So what could I do?—he always meant what he said- But, ob­stinate as he was, he could not hold out any longer. With a faint cry of "Ah, it is all over with me! Vive TKm-pereur!" he fell on tiiesnow.

" 4A11 over, my captain? oh.'" no, not while Corporil Manchoti* here!"

' \ 4Why,whois thtttf Is that you, Manchpt? You Are not wfth^your reg­iment, how Is that? Leave me; my battles are all fought But stay; here takfc my crom antt my purse, there is not much in i t I wish for Her sake there was more, but the emperor will not forget her when you reach France. Ah, la belle France! I shall not see yon again I Go to Voroppe, near Grenoble; there you will find an old woman eighty-two years of age; it is Madame Marlen, my mother,, Kim her for me on both cheeks, give her the purse and cross, and tell her how T died. Vive la France! Vive V Kmperenr f Now go —join" your company. A4ieu—go,' ' "i'ftot unless I take you with me. Come.' •„ v ..••• % ,

" 'Come! fi<w can I feome! Fool that you are, don't you see I cannot walk, or do you think T should be lying here?" '

" 'Nevertheless^^come/ With ttiat I lifted him on my slioulder.

" {What are you doing? Put me down, I tell you; put medown." r, .,

" 'Put you down! Wiat ! to lie and die on the sftow, or to be murdered by those thieves of Cossacks and then stripped! Oh, no,"captain, I shall not do tfiat;you need not ask me.'

" 'Impudentrascal that you are! I do not ask you, I order you; disobey meat your 06141*. . -, f

" 'Excuse me, captain, ybu need not trouWe; yourself to speak. See, you can do nothing—you are too weak to struggle."

" 'What! 4m I not to be obeyed? Ah! if I survive thia day you shall

buffer for it. Bythpwordof Captain Tetu you shall.'

"«Brvive! Why not? Of oourae you shall, t i l carry you all safe. Survive! rna , foif And I, Corporal Manchot, here!" ;

"Villian! lay me ; down, I t»y. What? you won*t? Oii yori know you would not dare to treat me sx> if I was strong; but alas! I am. Tcck, and you take a base advantages of me."

1 'Well, captain, l ft me have my own way now; when you £te strong aga^n I will obey you, as I have always done.', •: . •*•;' K;':v;;' ' "'*•*- '

.' 'Rascal thai fob aii.^ "All th\s timel was trudging; on as

well as I could, and that was rerf] badly. It was hard enough to walk when I had only myself to carry, but with the captain olt my shoulders it was a little more difficult My com­pany was ntmoutof ajjght; it was of no use trying to overtake them—that was impossible. All around me stretched, an immense, treeless, snow-covered plain. Nothing was to be' seen upou its wild waste but the black patches and the little mounds which showed where the d£ad and dying were, In the far distance, against the snow-laden hor­izon, I could see a few moving specks, which I soon discovered were a num­ber of Cossacks; who at a gallop, were swiftly drawing nearer .to me. v

' " 'Ah! thj&n it is over with- us, cap­tain,' said X; but he made no answer; he was insensible, "tv'ell,' said I to myself, 'I am not going to die,, nor to let him neither, without a good, hard struggle for it, that would not become a soldier of the empire. No; if they come near me it will cost some of those vile Cossacks dear; they shall know what a Frenchman can do; I will stay that abominable hurrah of one or two of them, or my name is not Manchot' " : ;• •, •• » - * •

"I had not much tftne to think, for they drew quickly nearer, with that wild, wretched * yell of jtttaitt. Call them soldiers! Bah! nasty, dirty, sav­age-looking fellows^ with' their bony, ragged, ugly little horses. Why, th6y were only fit to kill the wounded and the dying—to injure and plunderthose who conld not help themselves—not to fight against Frenchmen.

"Well, but what was I to do? I laid the captain down, and covered* him over with snow as well as I could. Then, seeing a number of corpses lying together in a heap, I Went and laid down among them, pretending that I too, was dead. f • !.;••,;.•:.-

"The better to tide feyself, I turned over a body, and was horrined to find

jk was that of an old comrade of mine, who had fought by my side on the glorious field of . Austerhts, Sergeant Subra. A braver and better soldier there was hot in the whole grand array. At any other time I should have been much grieved, but now all my thoughts were taken up with how was I to es­cape the enemy. | So I crept as well as I conld under the corpse of the ser­geant The Ccjssacks were on us. Never did I thinl* myself so near death as th?n. They gjcdloped right over us and in doihgso the hoof of one the horses came dbwn upon me, and smashed my ifeft arm. Ah! my child­ren, you may be fcure i t was not easy for me to keep fjrom calling out—the agony was so great To keep in She cry that seemed 'to feme itself from my heart, I almost bit njy lips through. Well, having dejte what mischief they could on horsebsbk. they passsd on— those murdering] thieving villains. ,

"I then ventured to look up front! my hiding place! All, as I thought at first weregorM|. Iwasg)bdof this, for what can one man, with a broken arm, do against la hundkd with two

arms, and on horseback? As I cau­tiously looked around, still lahig where I had hid—for I was too old a soldier to betra/myself until I knew that the whole coast* was clear—I saw

I that one of the enemy still remained behind—a bigr ugly scoundrel, Who dismounted and leading his horse, was at this time bent on the plunder of an officer. At this sjght my anger made me forget my ppJn. I felt hurt that so pitiful a villain should have it in his power to injure a brave man]

" 'Ah l" I said to myself softly, 'if 1 Corporal Manchot, can help i t you shall never boast of what you are now! doing. 86 I seised a musket with myj right hand, loaded it, and prepared td take aim. In doing this I made some) noise whicb»#arined the thief; he start] ed, listened; rose from his knees and looked around but saw nothing. Not) satisfied with that he walked round the heap where I lay, at only a few yards distant Tou may think I did not make any noise then. I even breathed as lightly as I could. He saw—he heard nothir^, so, with his confidence restord, he went back to finish the work, With that I lifted my musket-rbut if you even should try to lift your Musket to your shoul­der to take aim with your left arm shattered, you will find, it a very awk­ward thing to do. . * •>. :

"My instinct^-the instinct of a vet­eran, see you—told me that, so I did not try, but rested my musket on the body of a dead comrade and took aim —very good, you may be sure, for my life depended'on it—fired—when, hang I his battles were aU'over, as the captain had sai(| to himself; he-leaped up, flung out his arms, aud fell dead. , • | ^ "Thjs raised my spirits—it someliow

seemed a good omen to me that I should escape. But hov^ Ah! I did not yep sec that I returned to where I buried the captain fai.the snow—d him out^-tried all I could to lift hi again on. my shoulder, but could n do it because of my broken ai*nj|. While I was endeavoring to raise liinx n y pulling him about revived -liim-f he opened his eyes and saw me leaning over him. At first he did not undo* stand how tilings were, but soon recol­lecting himfeelf, he said with as strong a voice aa He could, though that was very weak: , j

"What corporaj, you hero still? Am 1 then ot to ber obeyed i Did I not tell you to leave me and join your corrr-pany? Why,if these thingsare allowed, there will sooii\ be no discipline in the army! If I live, you shall be soUndlv punished—you shall, on the word df Captain Tetu." j :

"This persistency of his displeaited me, so I replied tto him more sharply than I should, ^ ^^ r ^ r v ., ]

riMa foi? captain, if you are going to be so obstinate, Manchot will imitate you, or ho is not a corporal in the Grand Army. ;; If you stay here, be stays too, so say no more about f tp what I have said I will do."

"He looked offended, but said noth­ing—poor fellow, he could not, for he soon became insensible again. Night was now fast coming on, so I went ana gathered as many cloaks as I could-4 alas! there was no scarcity of thern-i-and wrapped him in them.

"Then I sought jfor something „ti ^it. I

"It was well I had finished off th* Cossack, for I found on him a flask of brandy, which life had evidently taken from one of our officers, and skiml bread* , . j - •. -

"Returning to theWptain, poured a little spirits down his threat which rej vived him; I then made him eat ana drink, and took some bread and brand v myself. It was now dark, and ther4 was nothing left for me buj, to wait till morning, to see what that would brini forth. I knew the rear-guards of thi army were not past and had some hopes that -we might be picked up bjl them* i " i * J

"Never slialf I < forget the fearful horrors of that night. It never ceased to snow. / 1*he c^ld^ seemed to pierce or e's very Vitals, and freese up the marrow in our bones, and the blood irk the heart. Nothing was to be heard but the growling of the wolves and the gnashing of their jaws, as they gorged themselves on the plentiful banquet which lay around. I felt the frost was gradually mastering me, and that il wonld soon numb all my limbs.- I was certain I'COuld not hold out mucft longer, so recalling the few simple old prayers which I had learned from the good cure when I was a boy, I fell on myf knees -and repeated them. This seeme| to g iw me new strength,

"Depend upon it, children/there is nothing will so revive a m4n as prayerl What, young wiseacre, you are aneeij-ing at that, are you? You think I am very foolish, do you? Well, wait until you have gone through as much as I have, and faced death and danger as often, and perhaps you will think as I do. By the time I had finished m prayers morning began to dawn. Th snow had ceased for a little. Throng the dimness of the early dawn I saw group of French officers at a little dis­tance. To <fraw their attention I shouted as loudly as 1 could, anil jumped up. They drew hear.

"Halloa! how is this? Why are y o i riot with the army? said a short, detotj-mined-looking man, dressed in tftighjt gray overcoat lined with fur. v * Y "Yes,young hope ottyour country,it WHS the emperor! a n / l do not expect France will ever give^jrouisuch a o^ri-eral to fight under.' It was the emperot but t did not know i t , He was the last man I should have expected to see there, s o l replied: r i* J

"Why am I not in the a m y ? LOOK here1—pointing to the captaiai and mv arm—'with this more and this led, how' could I be! I wish with all mV heart that I was there instead of here.]1

'"Sire.' Ah! then I knew it wafc the emperor, thftt bravest of the bravcL that truest of the true, that wisest df the ipse. I did not know what flb do or say, s o l gave him the salute as well

"Is it so, corporal!" ^ "Sire, ray general, what could I do?

The captain could not walk; he fell down. Was I to leave him to die, c< be murdered by those cowardly Cos­sacks? I know it was wrong, and I did it in spite of his orders—he was very angry with me; but I could not help it so I tried to carry him. The Cossacks rode-overme, and broke my arm; I could do no more. Pardon me, Sire."

"The emperor smiled; yes, my chil­dren, he smiled,' (here the veteran's eyes glowed with honest pride at the remembrance)—*be smiled at me, Cor* poral Manchot, and taking a huge pinch of snuff, said: w "

"It is well, very well, niy brave fel­low'—that to me, yes, to me who now stands before you— '1$ is well, my brave fellow'—those were his very words; as I heard them I forgot cold, my hunger, and the pain of my ami.

"See here, this is for you/—with that he opened his coat, 'took from his \ breast the cross, and pinned Hon mine. Oh! what joy! what ecstacy! what pride! Decorated 1 and with, the emper­or's own cross! " *,/ ' "He then called to Davoust, and or­

dered that I and the still insensible captain should be carried forward in bis own wagon. So I escaped from the horrors of retreat from Russia—but not from the punishment the captain had threatened me with.

How Japanese Babies A?* Welcomed.

, One curious custoth in vogue is 'the exhibition of a fish on every house vfhere/k boy has been born to the family during the year. This showing is .made during the month of May, and on the 6th of that month, there is a high festival held; the relatives and friends of the family making it the oc­casion of presenting gifts and toys suit­able for boys, as well as giving cloth­ing fitting for the little chap. All

(sorts of child's1 gear is to be seen on exhibition at this time, and no boy is neglected, t h e boy is the pride of the household, the parents testifying their joy in, feasting all comers who honor them by their remembrances. The girl babies are not forgotten, but theg are accorded another day and a separate festival time, this being the third day of the third month-the3dof March. Then; instead of the fish floating as a symbol, the doll is to be seen in abundance, andallth6 toys known to the. girl world are lavishly displayed. There is very much of pride exhibited on both of those child festivals, as the gifts presented are ostentiously dis­played by the fond parents for the ad­miration of their friends. Diminutive Suit of armor, tiny swords and bows and arrows, toy horses and full suite of trappings—in fact, every imagina­ble thing that goes into the make up a Japanese warrior of the ol(]en time are on parade on the 5th #of May, while the 3d of March brings forth all that is representative of the life and fancies of the feminine gendetV There are iqany who* are not content l o await the full.advent oMhe display of the fish emblem, so that during the latter part or April it is no uncommon thing to see an immense fish,sometimes two, so constucted that it is filled by the breeze, floating from a bamboo pole, heralding the glory that has its lodgment in the house from which it isexhibited.

T^e Capture of a Sei-Serpfnt,

The capture of one. of those Aiost elusive of .creaAires, a sea-serpent, is reported from Arnprior, in Canada. The serpent was killed in Chats Lake, and so was not properly a sea-serpent, but tl}e- indulgent public will not. quibble over a mere technicality. A most worthy and respected resident hasoTisereralocttaoioi* of a serpent of "enormous size and proportions," and the dead reptile is supposed to be an offsprikYgof the mon­ster. It was surprised in the act of "Churning the water with its tail in its futy/' and was knocked on the bade with the blade of an oar. Stretched out on the rail of the boat and meas­ured with a rule, it was f ouhd to be eleven feet long, and the body meas­ured thirteen inches in cireuinfererr^e. Its horrid jaws opened six inches. .. It did not have a mane nor a barbed tail, nor did it carry its head several yards above the waves while ploughing the troubled waters of the lake. On the whole it is a disappointnipnt,and better never have been brought to land.

On Monday last John Williams iknd James Johnson of Port Perm, a fishing settlement near New Cattle, went dbwn the. bay to fish for stuiteon. Several hours were spent in casting and re­casting their long net without getting even the sight of a sturgeon or a fish of any kind. Thjsy grew despondent and grumbled at their i hard lot in being oompelled to subojut to a parboiling process try the hot sun without getting any thing in return. . HUrh water came about U o'clock, and the two men began to hope for better luck. .

"We were pretty well disgusted/' said Mr. Williams yesterday, in speak­ing of the affair to a reportor, "and when we had cast the net the last time I told ray pardner, Jim. that if we did didn't strike any thjng in the next haul we would go home. He assented to this.. Just as we bqgan to make the haul, Johnson cried out in glee, •

He said the net pulled so hard that it ma4o him think there were two or three sturgeons floundering around in i t Suddenly the water was disturbed on the left side of the boat, about thirty feet distant and while we^were ex­changing opinions as to the cause of the commotion, we saw a .huge fin cut the water, and then an immense fish sprang half way out of the bay. It was eureloped in ao much" .pray that we did not at first think it was any­thing more than an extiuoi^inarily large sturgeon. We at onoe hurtied to close in the net and in five min­utes the disturbance had entirely ceased. Thinking that the fellow had escaped through the net we were tardy in hauling in the rest of i t When the circle was twenty feet in diameter all of a sudden the 'feionster renewed his capers under'the water, which boiled and foamed as though it had burst into a yhirlpooL Johnson %nd I held on t6 the net for dear life,.for by this time we were thoroughly excited and bent on capturing the fish, which ,we began to suspect was other than a cowardly sturgeon. Foam flew in all directions, which so blinded its that we were hardly able to see. I thought frequently the old net would go to piece*, for it was never before subjected to sucty rough handling as it received

1 that morning. In the midst of all this the thing jumped out of the water not more than seven feet aWay from the boat, "If it ain't a shark!" yelled Johnson, who immediately seised a hatchet that lay in th^bpttom of the boat, and stood ready to hack it to pieces as soon as if came within reach. But we did not succeed in capturing him as easily as we calculated upon. /The next time he appeared on the other side of the boat, which he came •near capsizing by diving under i t The net became entangled about him worse than ever at this juncture, and after floundering about for two min­utes Johnson leaned over and buried the hatchet in bis "side. Then there was a circus. The shark sunk out of sight-and came nelr swamping the boat, by pulling on the net, which! had fastened to a,cleat When he came to the surface he dashed wildly at the the boat and strained the bow so

f badly that it began to leak terribly. Both of us pulled on the .net with all our strength. The wiater all around us was re4 with blood. Johnson again succeeded in cutting a big gash in the tail of the Monster which he followed up a minute later by spearing him with the gaff. Then it was the shark, maddened with pain, boldly tried to crunch the side of the boat fin his big jaws. 'Now give it to him?' I fcereamed to Johnson, who began to ply the hatchet at a lively rate. The monster maintained his hold'on the boat all the tune Johnson waf dealing him such terrible wounds about the head and belly. The {blood spurted out of the fish every time he sank the hatchet in him, which covered us from head to foot We v were WeB scared I must say, because we thought it was a case of life or "death with either the shark or ourselvelr. We were miles away from land, ^ and we knjfew that'if the boat was%wamped and we escaped the shark We could never swim ashore. The .knowledge of these facte lent us additional strength, and although I was well nigh exhausted I seized a bar of iron which lay at my feet and aided Johnson in beating the shark about the head until ] he ceased to struggle. We finally got him quelled so that we pulled him into the boat. As soon.as he felt that he was out of mooter he began raising more mischief, and nearly broke the boat with his flopping and pitching. Then we wished h$ was in the water. I was compelled to betobor him again with the iron bar until he quieted down. By the tirne we got him under subjection and the excitement subsided both Johnson and I were so fatigued that we could barely imove. When we landed at the wharf at Port Penn the shark was still alive, and it neces­sitated more vigorous blows with the hatchet to dispatch him. Altogether it was an experience I do not carfeto repeat in a hurry." —Phila. Record.

' The Story of a Silk tstbrellaV *

CWvin H, Elliott is a bmnxed and long-bearded miner from Indianapolis who is at present on a visit to the city4 and is stopping at No. 1,835 Broadway.. Mr. Elliott's marked provincial air has led to his teing repeatedly ap­proached and accosto4 during his brief stay in this city, by a dam ef businem agents commonly known as banco pteerera. Some days ago he was addressed in the street by one of these persons, who hetrayed suchstrong per­sistency that Mr. Elliott lost his temper and knocked the fellow down. Hastily gaining .his feet the steerer fled, leav­ing behind him a handsome silk um­brella. Acting upon the principle that "to the victor belong the spoils," Mr. Elliott appropriated the umbrella to his own use. He carried it around with him for several days, and tri­umphantly exhibited it to his friends, On^Friday, however, as he was walk* ing along Fifth avenue, with the urn* brdla in hifcJhand, he was accosted by the originaKowner, who demanded the return of his property. Mr. Elliott re* fusfed tcgive it up. At this juncture a second man jumped up, and threat­eningly ordered him {o,return the um­brella, A discussion ensued, -and, a policeman appearing, Mr. EUiott gave the second man into custody, the first one having vanished with the appear* ance of the officer. The prisoner gave * the nmtie of Frank Clark. . He was ar­raigned in the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday, when Justice Ford upheld the cisuree pursued, by Mr. Elliott in not returning tho umbrelja, and rec<nnroended him to compel any one who should lay claim to that article to prove his ownership to the property. m The magistrate then gave Mr. Elliott some excellent advice with regard to resisting the lures of banco steereri, but said that as no Case could be made out against the prisoner, Clark. he must discharge him.—.V.
