The long expected Iouaves have arrived and
public expectation, which was on tip.toe has been
gratued to partial extent. The excitement at

that which waited on our Oriental friends the Ja-
panese, and promises to continue while the famous
corps OF the West remains in our citv. The Zou-
aves enjoy an enviable reputation in the citv of
Chicago, and that reputation has not suffered
during their present visit to the Northern cities;
on the contrary, every day has added to their high
character as soldiers and gentlemen. The discip-
line of the corps is very severe and every pleasure
which tends to overrate the physical frame care
fully eschewed and strictly prohibited. The fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted by the
corps at its formation will give correct idea of

The corps is composed of young men, all of whom
are IN active business either members of firms or
clerks in the city of Chicago. As has heretofore

loon, or diSreputabe house of any kind, on pain of
dismissal from the company ANY member who is
aware OF any of the rules being transgressed by
another, is bound, in honor to give information of
the fact, and failure to do so if detected is sub
