that no sword Of Justice that of the autocr'' can Pc
p4trste or cut through In this general onset next 70
tle Commssariat come the colonies commanding AMI
administering the respective regiments. Their Pecua-
ton ia generally christened with the name OF shrewd
Horor,.umv economy l. is applied 10 all the necessi
ties Of the poor soldier Thus the colonel for example
receives yearly the cloth for the equipment of the reg
uep but the soldiers often wear the same uniOrnsiF
two wears The wOrkmen in the regiment are all soldiers
tbeir ,silors. shoemakers saddlers smiths &C. must
work without any extra pay beng allowed by the Col
onel In time Of peace the regiment rarely contains
fuI number Of soldiers notwithstanding that the pay
and continent are received for full ranks Colonel
,tsres mart Of these economies with his generals
or nj least their stats In the cavalry, very naturally
sucb economies are considerable. Frat are those
made on the Incomplete number Of men and horses then
ecopony" made on the prcesOf the horses on that of
.he cost of their maintenance for all OF which high figures
are paid by the Government TO the COlOnes who make
In this manner immense profits. Further, every year
certain number Of horses is reported to be renewed
ALWAYS more than really necessary, and the Colonel
pockets the money instead of buying the required num-
Der Generally the yearly income economized in this
vsy by a Coorel Of cavalry will amount t. twenty
tbou,ard. that Of a Colonel of infantry from ten 70
twelve thousand dollars To give an idea how these
6us economics are executed let suppose The follow
irg. sole for the shoe of soldier allotted by the
Government il Of Il inches length Before It reaches
its d. situation the Commssarat and the Coloncs clip
each in their turn 10 that extent that 1t becomes IN TACT
SCARCELY inches long The same Is done with Hour aud
prosts in which consists the almost exclusive nolrsb
uent of the soldier. If he thcud have pound for
example Of each of them he receives scarcely ounces
The soldiers being generally quartered in towns aud
villages, have the right to claim from 'heir hosts
fessonng OF salt and grease On the flour and eroats
the Captain Of the company as well as the senior SER
seant realize in turn their profits
This general shrewd economy is to certain extent
ssnctioned by the Government Out OF il the musical

the Colonel as well as fuel furnished for the ldutans
Office and some other small The mantainencc Of
The musical band consists in the pag of good director
and music master and in the purchase OF instruments
ibe rest of the band are the soldiers OF the regiment
