suffering among the poorer middle class. The beg
gars, and their number IL legion, get along well
enough, they manage to get enough to eat and few
pennies beside to lay by against rainy day which
will be for them when good Government is estab-
lished here. One old fellow without legs, or With
but the poorest apologies for Them whose station s
upon the steps Of the Piazza di Spagna is man Of
property, and lately gave his laughter upon her
marriage dowry of thousand dollars He,
however, is a superior man, Of bis class who takes
off beaver hat from welI-formed head at the ap-
proach of every passer by and in the most pleasant
oily manner receives a copper or refusal, and
when the days work lie done, rides home on hisown
donkey, with his earnings.
The class in whom there is enough Of the old
Roman blood to make them sc0rn beggary, bat who
can get no work nor any sale for their wares fare
badly. They are selling of little articles of orna-
ment or even necessaries, for their daily support.
Two years ago some English ladies, moved with
compassion for the multitudes of beggars formed an
association for the establishing of soup houses in diff
ferent parts of the city. They endowed them lib
orally, and took turns in experimenting them, to
see that the soup and bread which was furnished
eratutously was wholesome and good. The mem
beers were all supplied with tickets Of admission,
which they distributed to the beggars as they met
them in the street. To their surprise, after few
days. none of this class came for their portion and
it was found that they made habit of selling their
tickets to the poor working people at very cheap
rate, who by this means were enabled to keep a
little higher above starving point without attracting
public attention or descending to beggary. As for
the begpars they didn't care for a little s0up-they
could pick up enough to eat anywhere; they wanted
money. This year there are no soup houses and no
business.
The review of the French troops yesterday was,
as usual, a very brilliant affair. There are about
ten thousand Of those in the city. One regiment Of
ckassturs pied picked men, selected for their
strength and agility, who always move upon run
or very quick pace, and are trained to every kind
of rapid evolution; also, two regiments Of the line,
and two batteries of artillery beside small body of
gems darmes. They first rendezyoused in the Piazza
del Popoo. To one standing upon the fountain in
the center Of the square, the approach of the soldiers
down the three long streets which converge to this
point, was extremely warlike.
The approach of each body was announced by a
company of buglers. Then appeared the Standard
bearer, carrying well-wOrn flag and the eagle of
France with halfspread wings; next the tall form
of the drum major appeared, whose natural hight,
head and almost shoulders above his company, is
further increased by an immense tower hat Of bear
skin, the whole carried up another story by ma
jestic plume. Then the pioneers, with their tall fur
hats, long braids, great axes, and white leather
aprons, and after them the rank and file. While
these were tramping in from different parts of the
city, filling up the streets below, battery of art
lery was descending by the broad, winding carriage
way from the Pincian Hill. AS a battery consists
of eight guns, each gun drawn by four prOdgi0us
horses and attended by heavy ammunition wagon
drawn by the same number, and accompanied by
more or less men on horseback as officers or as re-
lays the two batteries when united made an aggre-
gate of some $50 horses, and became an important
feature in the display.
From the place of rendezvous the whole force
fled off outside the walls to the grounds of the Bor
CHEESE villa, and were drawn up in line in and around
an immense amphitheater, the Artillery In the CEN
ter 1t was plain to notice the pleasure with which
the soldiers received Gen. GOyon when he came
upon the field accompanied by his staff He ia evil
IDENTITY loved as well as respected by his command.
After passing through their lines and reviewing
them, he took his station at the entrance to the
sloping seats of the amphitheater, and announced
the name of the first man who was to receive tho
badge of the Legion of Honor, and recounted his
exploits. He then dismOunted, and approaching
the officer who had taken his position in front,
tapped him upon each shoulder with his sword,
shook him heartily by the hand. and kissed him
upon each cheek at the same time, presenting with
the decoration. This ceremony was repeated again
to an officer of lower grade, and finally 70 COM
pany of q dozen men taken from the ranks, who had
signaized themselves sufficiently to receive thus
public acknowledgment.
He kissed each man upon both cheeks, shaking
them by the hand with the greatest apparent cordi-
atty, emitting only the tapping upon the shoulder
with his sword
The effect of this ceremony in exciting emulation
among the common soldiers cannot be oyer-estim-
ated, and ii is by such care in rewarding merit and
at the same time by opening the highest Offices to
all who will earn them, that makes the French
army The best in the world. The review closed in
q drizzlng rain, which seems chronic complaint
of this climate; and so in mud and rain and martial
music and the roll of artillery wagons and the tramp
of armed men, we loitered back again to the city,
glad to have seen body Of men got up for service
and not for show, who have fought, and will fight
again il necessity requires. SIS.
