summary:
  On the 6th of July was uttered the first defiance from the French tribune; on the 15th of July an exposition of the griefs of France, in the nature of a Declaration of War, with a demand for men and money; on the 19th of July a state of war was declared to exist. At public meetings, in formal resolutions and addresses, they have declared war against War, and they will not be silenced.

  With an Ambulance During the Franco-German War Personal Experiences and Adventures with Both Armies, 1870-1871

summary:
  They were now of no use, as I had been appointed to an Ambulance; but had I got them at first I should have been saved many days of anxious waiting. As we took a zigzag course towards home, we passed close by the railway station, and perceived that it was full of wounded men.

  Said Rhoda Polly, Father, I never knew that we harboured such wretches among our men. Listen well, young men--the Bible speaks the truth--it cannot stand.

  Other men who helped to overthrow the Empire also became known to me. At first, as I have already said, we advanced but slowly towards that defending force; but, all at once, we were swept onward by other men who had come from the Boulevards, in our wake.

  The peasants were not Paradise men; they wore the costumes of the interior, and somebody had already armed them with scythes, rusty boarding-pikes, stable-forks, and one or two flintlock muskets. As for the bullet, I could have turned it out with a straw, only it rested there _exactly_ where it stopped the use of those long legs of yours!--a fine example of temporary reflex paralysis, and no hemorrhage to speak of--nothing to swear about, young man.

  On other days one may forget them, but on New Year's-day our isolation comes home to us, and, do what we may, we are sad and silent. Fancy, for an evening's entertainment, a speech from Mr. Cole, C.B.; the play of _Hamlet_ played in the dresses of the present century; and an ode from Mr. Tupper.
