The French Zouaves.

PARIS, March cay ou will permit me
to bestow paragraph on the Zouaves,
drawn from the full history and graphic
description of the rsdoubtable corps,
which are furnished in La Revue.-
The common impression that the Zoua-
YES are chiefly natives of Algeria, is en-
tirely. erroneous. In 1890, General
Clausel, then commander in the province,
organized a native corps of infantry and
cavalry; it consisted of two battalions
that received the name-in the Arabic
-ZouAvEs, from tribe or confedara-
tiou of Kaby tribes, inhabiting the fur
thest gorge or glens of Jurjura. They
were proud, intrepid, industrious race,
whom the Turks could never subdue !;
they were we'll known at Algiers, as
they frequented the city for purposes
of barter. They enjoyed the reputation
of being the best foot soldiers of the
Regency. Kabyls, and Arabs of every
title, could be admitted into the new
corps, but they were not trustworthy
When adequately trained they deserted
to the tribes that happened to be az
war with the French, and proved the
most dangerous adyersaries Ere long

He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man, and bird, and beast.
TIE ANCIENT MARIxEl
Little Bell sat down beneath the rocks
Tossed aside her cleaning, golden locks
Bonny birdl quoth she,
"Sing me your best song beforcI CO."
"Here's the very finest song know,
Little Bell" said he.
And the black bird piped-you never heard
Half so gay song from any bird
tsrs Full of quips and wiles,
Now SO round and rich, now SO soft and slow
All for love of that sweet face below,
Dimpled DER with smiles.
And the while that bonny bird did pour
His full heart out, freely DER and o'cr,
~. 80 Meath the morning skies,
In the little childish heart below,
All the sweetness seemed to grow and grow
And shine forth in happy overflow
From the blue, bright eyes.
Down the deli she tripped, and through the
glade
Peeped the squirrel from the hazel shade,
And from out the tree
Swung and leaped, and froliced, void of.fear,
While bold blackbird piped, that all might
hear
Little Bell i'-piped he.
Little Bell sat down amid the fern
Squirrel. squirrel to your task return
Bring me nutsP' quoth she;
Up, away the frisk squirrel hies--
Golden wood-lights glancing in his eyes
And down the tree,
Great ripe nuts, kissed brown by July sun,
In the little lap. drop one by one
Hark how blackbird pipes to see the fun!
Little Bell !" quoth he.
Little bell looked up and down the glade,
Squirrel, squirrel, from the nut tree shade
Bonny blackbird, if you're not afraid,
Come and share with me %
Down came squirrel, eager for his fare
Down came bOnny blackbird, Il declare;
Little Bell gave each his honest share
All the merry treel
And while the frolic playmates twain
Piped and frisked from bough to bough again
Meath the morning skies,
In the little childish heart below,
All the sweetness seemed to grow and grow,
And shining out in happy overflow,
From her blue, bright eyes.
By her snow=white. coat at close of day
Knelt sweet Bell, with folded palms to pray
Very calm and clear
Rose the praying voice to where, unseen
In blue Heaven, an angel shape serene
Paused awhile to hear.
"What good child is this" theangel said,
g. That with happy heart beside her bed,
Prays SO lovingly?"
Low and soft. OH very low and soft,
Crooned the blackbird in orchard croft,
"Bell, dear Bell Y crooned he.
Whom God screatures love-" the angel fair
Murmured, "Gad doth bless with angels

Child, thy bed shall be
Folded safe from harm-love, deep and kind
Shall watch around and leave good gifts be-

together formed regiment, the 9th o.
the line, and soon displayed extraordi
nary prowess in the expeditions and
seiges.
In 1888 the number of companies wal
fixed at ten-eight French, two native
but each of the later received twelve
French soldiers. The officers were al
together French; Lamoriciers was ap-
pointed to tho command, with the grade
of chefds battalion. The Oriental cos
tune, now special characteristic, was
adopted, with notifications suited TO
summer aud winter service The officers
retained their European uniform, wear
ing, however, occasionally, the warm red
cap which the Turks call Fec.
In 1885, by royal ordinance, the regi-
ment was made to consist of two batal-
lions of six companies each, which might
be increased to, ten. The Zouaves
proved the most efficient troops at the
seige of Constantine, so memorable in
the French. Algerian annals. They
were constantly recruited with French
soldiery, 50 as to be kept in full number
and perfect preparation. When Mar
shall Beaugaud appeared in Algeria in
ls4I, he soon perceived their superiori-
ty, and employed them in various war
fare, particularly that Of the mountains.
By royal ordinance of that, year, they
were increased to three battalions, with
complete staff Natives could be ad-
mitted into one company alone of each
battalion, and they were few~enough
only to countenance the name and dis
tinct uniform of the corps
The mixture of the two races was not
found satisfactory in the results; they
contracted each others bad, rather than
coed quslities. The soldier in Algeria
had two-fold duty-fghting and work
ing; the Arabs would not handle the
pick-axe and spade; the Christian would
have suffered in their estimation, if so
employed while they were comrads.-
1t was doomed advisable to create under

cial infantry corps, oficered in part only
by Freaehmen these buttalions CON-
manded by cofoneIs versed in Arabic,

they are worthy juniors of the Zouaves.
The primary corps is still recruited with
veteran or tried soldiers. habituated to
all kind of hardship and danger, and
of management in providing themselves
with neeessaries and comforts in cam
paigns, and under what ever circumstan-
ces. In 1852, new organization took
place; they were increased to three reg
iments of three battalions each; after
ward they were armed with rifles; they
now handle the Mimic with dreadful eff
feet. The names of Lamoriciers, Be-
deau. Changaruicr, Gavaiguac, Canrob-
ert, BOusquet, are the list of their lead
ers at different times.-Journal Of

Col. Sutter, of California, it is stated
has lost, by the duplicity of those he

wealth in that State. Ii is said that he

kindness of heart, and had extended to
all the emigrant's over the mountains
hospitalities that will never be forgot
ten. Capt Wilkes, of the U. S., Ex-
ploring Expedition, Col. Fremont, and
Lieut. Revere, of the navy each were
at different times recipients of his hos
pitality. In addition, it may be said
that he opened to the eyes of the world
untold millions of wealth in the discor-
cry ofthe gold on his premises, Col,
s., most unfortunately, in his adversely,
is very old man, and though in his day
he had energy enough to retrieve his
lost afiueuce, he will never be able to

pence day to fight, he has nothing els'
to do. Gould an English army, on eve
ry occasion, be conveyed by fast trair
to the scene of action, it would equaI
any in the world in maintaining itsel1
upon the field of battle, but compel it tc
undergo the hardships aud exposures q
an active campaign, and it soon sinks be-
meath them.
Their whole military administrator
is wrong, and which, in despite of its
glaring defects, the government persists
in main taining. That blightirg nepo-
tism among the commanders still exists
to great extent. High birth and mo-
ney, not merit, obtains positions and ad-
vanoements but though yalor be gift
of nature, military science can only be
acquired by experience and study, for
which no royal duke or wealthy COM
noner have exclusive monopolics. To
be decked in matchless uniform, and
become the doting object of all the
school girl misses that frequent the bird
cage walk in st. James Park no doubt
requires money and not mind; but to
become an ablo officer, who makes but
few mistakes himself, and aYails himself
of the enemy, requires merit and study
of which those that England sent to the
Crimea have proved themselves sadly
destitute. As long as commissions and
promotions are to be purchased, tho
officers Of the British army will ever rank
beneath those of other European ar
mics. .... .....+F
The French still con tinue before Sc
bastopol, partly from their inability to
get away without great loss, and partly
because, like our friend Macaber, Can
robert still hopes that something may
turn up. This state of uncertainty can
not, however, last much longer, for the
Russians are pouring into the Crimea.
Sickness still continues to increase,
and within the last week the French have
added throe additional hospitals to their
already large number; there is now
scarcely a place upon the Bosphorus
that has not been converted into reeep-
taeles for the sick and wounded of the
allied armies. The French, besides, have
large hospitals at Verna and Gallipoli,
and the English at Abados and Smyrna.

Flour for the Crimea.

The Detroit Advertiser of last week
SAYS :--"Nearly 5000 barrels of flour
were purchased at Detroit this week
mostly by one firm. This -four is bough
on foreign order, and without doubt will
find its way to the Crimea. This firm
have within the past few weeks purchas'
ed in this market about 10000 barrels OF
-four, at an average of s7,".5 per o0l.
~ This will explain TO many OF ouI
readers one of the causes of the high prI
ces of flour and grain, though speculation
has also much 10 do with the matter. lhe
crazy nations in Europe, who are cutting
each others throats and shedding each
others blood, have not had time to SOW
and reap. They must be fed, and fed
from the granaries of America but Ii
would be Gods blessing TO the poor
people Of the whole world, if they would
convert the spear into the pruning hook
and the sword into the PloughShare, and
feed themselves.
