First Command of Soldiers In the Field,
[Copyright, 1S05, by John Clark liidputh. IV. L'ECOLE MlI.lTAlliK AND VALKXCE. When Cadet Bonaparte, in the autumn of 1784, was promoted to tho Military School in Paris, ho was in his sixteenth year. Ho had now niado his way by stages, beginning with his tenth year, from his native phioo to the capital of France and if of Franco, then of tho world. Three months at Autun, four years—and more—at Lrienno, and now to the school in Paris. At tho last-named plaeo ho was destined to remain less than a year. Thus far ho seemed to bo rising toward a career of activity, if not of distinction but there was never a timo when his pathway was more clouded than during his stay at L'Ecclo Militaire.
^Tho school at which ho now became a student was tho best in tho kingdom. It had been reformed and renewed as a ro-

suit of recent agitations and tho institution was at this timo well fitted to be tho finishing ground for a young military aspirant. L'Ecolo r.Iilitairo do Paris held the relation to that of Brienne amd the others of college to aoademy. Tho curriculum was more amnio and tho mothods rnoro ration ',1 in 1ho first than those pursued in tlm provincial institutions. Hero tho academic training of Napoleon Bonaparte as that of his younger brother Lumen afterwards— was completed From this school ho was to bo delivered, as if by a second birth, to tho world.
The social character of Napoleon now began to show itself more distinctly. Back at Brienno ho had been introduced by General Marbumf to some privato families of distinction. Them ho impressed as a peculiar, forceful and solitary genius, more capable of heroic dreams and boyish monologuo than of polite conversation or social amenities. Going to Paris, his acquaintance was somewhat enlarged. Marbo.'uf's nephew, tho Bishop of Autun, now lived at Versailles and that worthy was glad, after tho lapse of live years, to receive his former pupil, greatly grown in intellect and person, but virtually tho same in demeanor. Elise, tho sister of Bonaparte, had meanwhile been brought out from Corsica, and was now a member of tho Roj'al School for Girls at SaintCyr. So that tho young man had now a few friends and some social advantages.
For tho rest, ho pursued in Paris tho same self-centered life as at Brienno. He was a hard student—in his way. Ho still disprized the polito branches of education iu favor of tho exact sciences and geography. In humane inquiry, his sole endeavor was to master History. His study, however, in this field did not reach historical generalization or a broad philosophy. He stopped with tho individual. Ho dwelt with interest and enthusiasm upon tho lives of great men. Plutarch ho knew almost by heart. The well-knowu stories which in that age passed for history ho conned with tho passion of a zealot.
In afterlife, the peculiar effect of this disciplino was manifested in all of Napoleon's work and policy. Out of his history proper ho branched in only one direction—politics. He became rather export in tho political platitudes and persiflage of the times. To tho end of his life ho was uover capable of high and abstract views but ho know all special things as" if by intuition. His mind flashed out, lightning-like, in this direction and in that the blaze of it illumined many a dark and blood-splashed place but from that prodigious intellect there was never diffused a broad and universal light. Much of this must be attributed to his inborn character and something to the manner of his education.
The year 1785 was in all respects critical to Bonaparte. His course at the Military School ended with August of that year. He was admitted to his final examination almost precisely at his sixteenth birthday. Nearly six mouths before this timo his father, who had found a temporary residence at Montpellier, came to the final scone. The visionary and unsuccessful Buonaparte had discovered a refuge for himself at the chateau of Madame Pormon, mother of the Duchess d'Abrantes of great fame. Thore, on the 24th of February, he expired, of a ohronio malady, perhaps cancer of the atomach—most fatal premonition of what should happen to his famous son thirty-six years afterwards.
Hard was this stroke of death on the members of Buonaparte's family. From tho timo of his union with Letitia Ramolino—a period of twenty years—thirteen children had been born. Eight of these wore living throe were in France, and fivo with tho mother in A jaccio. All wero at tho door of penury. It is a law of nature and of man that every mother

Tho final examination at L'Eeolo Mihsanv er mtaire was passed. cipient military heroes—our own inrlnded—Napoleon did not obtain a high rank in his classes. His papers gave him only tho forty-second place from the head. Louis Antoino Bourienne, his future private secretary, had been far' above him at Brieime. Dos Mazis, his favorite classmate, was now graduated far below him at L'Ecole Militaire. But tho grade was sufficient and he was enabled with his commission as lieutenant to choose tho artillery as his arm of the service.
For two months August to October, 17s5) the restraints of red tape held back Lieutenant Bonaparte from going to his place. His means gavo utterly out. At last, late in the fall of 1785, ho set out by conveyance from Paris as far as Lyons, but was then obliged, from sheer inability to pay his fare, to walk the remainder of the journey to Valence. There ho arrived, and took his place the Regiment La Fere—doubtless so called because it had no iron in it!
Great was Napoleon's surprise at tho character of the disciplino. By tho officers and men almost everything was practiced except those exercises which tended to niako them soldiers. They wero gay, dissipated, frivolous. The pay was insufficient to support them in their career of pleasure and vice but they were nearly all scions of fho nobility and knew not what it was to bo limited in tho means of gratification. Napoleon's poverty and ambition alike held him back for a moment from this manner of life: but, strange to say, ho presently threw himself into the swim, and during the winter of 1785-8(5 ho dissipated like the rent.
Valence was a small but important city. Tho young military officers were Welcomed by ambitious families into their drawing rooms. For the nonce, Bonaparte concluded that lie must become accomplished!—that ho must be a social lion and quaff tho bowl of pleasure with his fellows. Ho had social passports from Marbamf's nephew, who was now the young Bishop of Autun.
But to a nature such as Napoleon's pleasure, however torrid, could not long stillice. Tilt' lieutenant, presently turned upon himself in anger and a sudden reform was tiie immediate result. Tho thoughtful brow and sullen manner returned. Ho went back gloomily to his books recovered his vantage, and henceforth to the end of his life—though many a time he heard tho Sirens singing on near-by shores—he liuver postponed his ambitions for the delirious dreams and fleeting hallucinations of a dissipated life.
During his career as a student, Napoleon's general reading had been in the naturo of excursions along the coasts of political philosophy. The French manner caught his imagination. He talked of liberty, of the virtues of tho elder Romans, of humanity in a state of nature—as revealed by Jean Jacques, mm
Now, in tho spring of 178(5—recovering himself from tho winter's revel—he turned from the "Contrat Sociale," which ho had begun to distrust as a ground of political lifo, to the "Histoiro Pliilosophique" of the Abbe Raynal. Hero ho lost himself in tho mysteries (and mists) of that science which is said to teach by example.
The writings of tho Abbe Raynal, from being a conglomerate in which several strong hands—notably that of Diderot—had a great part, were now in tho ascendant. The French mind caught them, embraced them, and adored. They were thought for the time to bo tho beall and the end-all of political philosophy. Behold Napoleon, whoso mind had already been well stocked with the fascinating but unprofitable stories of Herodotus, Diodorus, Straho, Plutarch, Xenophon, et id omno genus,—behold him at his candle-lighted, deal-board table in the barracks of Valence, rising in thought somowhat from tho particulars of human story to tho general laws of conduct. Bo it remembered, howover, that at that epoch tho human mind had not yet gained tho first glimpse of that universal coherence and consistency of all things which constitutes the bottom principle of tho New History. As for tho unfledged Jacobinism in him, that was sufficiently inflamed with knowledge that five years previously this same "Histoire Philosophiquo" had boen burned at tho stake—so to speak—in Paris, and its author driven into exile.
Meanwliilo, in August of 1787, while tho members of our Constitutional Convention wore hard at work in Philadelphia building their ship of state, an insurrection against tho French government broke out in Lyons, fifty-three miles up the rivor from Valence and the Regiment La Fere was ordered to put down the revolt. On the march thitfrer Napoleon Bonaparte, lieutenant of artillery, had his first command of soldiers in tho field.

who benrs thirteen children is a, heroine but Madame de Buonaparto had now to go into tho fields and plant mulberry trees for a living! Marboouf finally prevailed with tho authorities to make Joseph Bonaparte also (we will now drop tho Italian form Buonaparte) a military pensioner. But tho father's death and Napoleon's protest countervailed the project, and Joseph was doomed to remain a cadet of the ('hurch. For Julien, who developed a passion for polito studies and wished to he a priest, a scholarship was obtained for the school at Brienne. Such is the perversity of fate. As to Napoleon, it was agreed that instead of going into the navy, as Keralio had recommended and as Marbceuf had wished, he should become instead a lieutenant in the artillery. After his graduation, he should be assigned to the Regiment La Fere, stationed at Valence, oil tho left bank of the Rhone, three hundred miles away as he bird flies—fur to tho south.
