Seidlitz, ascertaining these things, has but one course left, that of clearing himself out, which he does with orderly velocity: and at 9 A.M. the Dignitaries and their 8,000 find open gates, Seidlitz clean off; occupy the posts, with due emphasis and flourish; and proceed to the Schloss in a grand triumphant way, where privately they are not very welcome, though one puts the best face on it, and a dinner of importance is the first thing imperative to be set in progress.
Seidlitz at a sharp military trot, and the infantry at doublequick to keep up near him, which they cannot quite do, are, as we have said, making right across for the Polzen-Hill and Janus-Hill quarter; their route the string, French route the bow; and are invisible to the French, owing to the heights between.
Finck, from the Alder Waste, with his Infantry, attacks, and again attacks; without success: "Let the Cavalry go round, then, and try there. Seidlitz we have not; you Eugen of Wurtemberg lead them!" Puttkammer, with Hussars, then tried it; Puttkammer was shot dead, and his Hussars too could do nothing. Back, slowly back, go the Prussians generally, nothing now succeeds with them.
At the same time, other armies were assembled by the king of Prussia in Lusatia and Voigt-land; twenty thousand men were collected at Zwickaw, on the frontiers of Bohemia, towards Egra, under the command of prince Maurice of Anhault-Dessau; and sixty thousand chosen troops began their march towards Great Seidlitz, where their head quarters were settled.
If all these means fail, the catheter must be used as the last resort. During the entire lying-in the bladder should be emptied every six hours. Evacuation of the Bowels. There should be an evacuation of the bowels in from twenty-four to thirty-six hours after the labor. For this purpose a seidlitz powder may be given, or the liquid citrate of magnesia.
Seemann, Dr., on the different appreciation of music by different peoples; on the effects of music. Seidlitz, on horns of reindeer. Selasphorus platycercus, acuminate first primary of the male. Selby, P.J., on the habits of the black and red grouse. Selection as applied to primeval man. Selection, double. Selection, injurious forms of, in civilised nations. Selection of male by female birds.
"You think them not at home in the saddle, my lord?" "Frenchmen have nerves; horses are nerves. They pile excitement too high. When cool, they're among the best. None of them had head for command of all the arms." "One might say the same of Seidlitz and Ziethen?" "Of Ziethen. Seidlitz had a wider grasp, I suppose." He pursed his month, pondering.
They didn't take 'em easy, an' was nigh sick, but they got 'em down after awhile. Then, seein' they got bruises on their legs, playin', I rubbed 'em good with hoss lin'ment. After that I give 'em some o' that tonic quinine an' something. An' then, seein' they couldn't eat food this mornin', an' had got sick headaches, I give 'em one o' them fizzy Seidlitz fellers between 'em.
But from the first, the matter was hopeless; Seidlitz slashing it at such a rate, and plunging through it and again through it, thrice, some say four times: so that, in the space of half an hour, this luckless cavalry was all tumbling off the ground; plunging down-hill, in full flight, across its own infantry or whatever obstacle, Seidlitz on the hips of it; and galloping madly over the horizon, towards Freiburg as it proved; and was not again heard of that day.
There's cats around here with names that would surprise you. "That was that colored Deacon Jackson's cat. I only remember the last end of its name, which was Hold-The-Fort-For-I-Am-Coming Jackson." "Sho! that ain't the one. That's the one that eat up an entire box of Seidlitz powders, and then hadn't any more judgment than to go and take a drink.
