ng to America with twenty-five ves sels of the line, whilst that M. Orvilliers, with sixty-five Franco-Spanish vessels of the line, was to protect a descent operated by three hundred transport vessels and forty thousand men united at Havre and St. Malo. This new Armada cruised for two months without undertaking anything; the winds drove it at last into its ports. More fortunate D'Estaing gained the ascendancy in the Antilles and debarked in the United States six thousand French under Rochambeau, who, followed later by another division, contributed in investing the small army of Cornwallis in New York (1781) and in fixing thus the independence of America. France would have triumphed perhaps forever over her implacable rival, if, by the aid of those parades in La Mariche, she had sent ten vessels and seven or eight thousand men more with Governor Suffren into India. The attempt of Hoche against Ireland, with twenty-five thousand men, was dispersed by the winds, and had no other

of eastern Georgia, or the flooded swamps of South Carolina. Had Lee's effective force (by his muster-rolls, 64,000 men — but suppose the number available for such a campaign but 50,000), swelled by such reenforcements as Hardee, Beauregard, Wheeler, and Hoke, might have afforded him, been hurled upon Sherman, as he confidently approached Savannah, Columbia, or Fayetteville, it is indeed possible that the blow — so closely resembling that dealt to Cornwallis at Yorktown by Washington and Rochambeau — might have been effectively, countered (as theirs was not) by the hurried movement southward by water of corps after corps of the Army of the Potomac; yet the necessity of stopping Sherman's career was so indubitably manifest and vital that it seems strange that every thing was not staked on a throw where success would have kindled new hope in so many sinking hearts, while defeat could only have been what inaction was — ruin. But any suggestion of the abandonment of the Confederate cap

onfirm the same conclusions. The illustrious Washington, who presided over the Philadelphia convention, in his correspondence repeatedly refers to the proposed union as a Confederacy of states, or a confederated Government, and to the several states as acceding, or signfying their accession to it, in ratifying the Constitution. He refers to the Constitution itself as a compact or treaty, and classifies it among compacts or treaties between men, bodies of men, or countries. Writing to Count Rochambeau on January 8, 1788, he says that the proposed Constitution is to be submitted to conventions chosen by the people in the several States, and by them approved or rejected—showing what he understood by the people of the United States, who were to ordain and establish it. These same people—that is, the people of the several States—he says in a letter to Lafayette, April 28, 1788, retain everything they do not, by express terms, give up. In a letter written to Benjamin Lincoln October 26, <

ere chained to rocks in desert islands,--others in marshes, and left to be devoured by poisonous reptiles and insects. Rochambeau sent to Cuba for bloodhounds. When they arrived, the young girls went down to the wharf, decked the hounds with ribbon his body back to France. Napoleon met her at Bordeaux, saying, Sister, I gave you an army,--you bring me back ashes. Rochambeau --the Rochambeau of our history — left in command of eight thousand troops, sent word to Dessalines: When I take you, Iom fort to fort, and finally shut him up in Samana. Heating cannon-balls to destroy his fleet, Dessalines learned that Rochambeau had begged of the British admiral to cover his troops with the English flag, and the generous negro suffered the boastethink of the negro's sword. And if that does not satisfy you, go to France, to the splendid mausoleum of the Counts of Rochambeau, and to the eight thousand graves of French. men who skulked home under the English flag, and ask them.

XXIV. a half-century of American literature (1857-1907） The brilliant French author, Stendhal, used to describe his ideal of a happy life as dwelling in a Paris garret and writing endless plays and novels. This might seem to any Anglo-American a fantastic wish; and no doubt the early colonists on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, after fighting through the Revolution by the aid of Rochambeau and his Frenchmen, might have felt quite out of place had they followed their triumphant allies back to Europe, in 1781, and inspected their way of living. We can hardly wonder, on the other hand, that the accomplished French traveler, Philarbte Chasles, on visiting this country in 1851, looked through the land in despair at not finding a humorist, although the very boy of sixteen who stood near him at the rudder of a Mississippi steamboat may have been he who was destined to amuse the civilized world under the name of Mark Twain.

adre. This book is now in the Library of Harvard College, with a memorandum in Laboulaye's handwriting. This was the first sketch of the visit to America of the Marquis of Chastellux, brigadier-general in the French army, under the orders of Rochambeau. It was published in France later (about 1870), in two volumes. But what gave this particular volume its value was the fact that it was printed on board the French fleet, which had carried the army of Rochambeau to Rhode Island. I speedily pRochambeau to Rhode Island. I speedily presented the book to Mr. Sumner, who carried it with him to America. Such are my reminiscences. I need not say that Mr. Sumner was received everywhere as he merited, and that every one did justice to his noble manners, his eminent intellect, and his lofty character. I do not believe that an American has ever made so great an impression in France, and I know he well appreciated the welcome he received in fashionable circles. Sensibility of the kindness which everywhere surrounded him gave new

ier seems pleasanter, with its boat-builders' shops, all facing sunward,--a cheerful haunt upon a winter's day. On the early maps this wharf appears as Queen-Hithe, a name more graceful than its present cognomen. Hithe or Hythe signifies a small harbor, and is the final syllable of many English names, as of Lambeth. Hythe is also one of those Cinque-Ports of which the Duke of Wellington was warden. This wharf was probably still familiarly called Queen-Hithe in 1781, when Washington and Rochambeau walked its length bareheaded between the ranks of French soldiers; and it doubtless bore that name when Dean Berkeley arrived in 1729, and the Rev. Mr. Honyman and all his flock closed hastily their prayer-books, and hastened to the landing to receive their guest. But it had lost this name ere the days, yet remembered by aged men, when the Long Wharf became a market. Beeves were then driven thither and tethered, while each hungry applicant marked with a piece of chalk upon the creature's
