OF fresh air pours in at our window.
Everything about this hotel is neat, and
ve advise all persons when they visit
this city to chang up at tho Euta~
Though called EutaU, wo assure them

nuns Hotel is "biowed" more, but 1t
IS not, can not be better than the E0-
taw. AT dinner each day we ln%urlaoc
on soft peaches and ice-crcam, cante-
lopes and melons, btsides any amount
of coarser but moro substantial Diet
The fact is, we dislike the idea Of leav-
ing Baltimore, when life IN it is 80
traught withy0od things, But to.mor'
row we must HE On to Quaker City,
and see what our friends Handy and
Henderson are engaged at. They left
us several duys since, but we have en-
joyed ourselr non dbSente,
We are at u loss to know what shall
be written about first, We have seen
$50 much, which, if described properly,
would interest the readers Of the Home
Journal, that it is with fear we begin t.
write, lest the Journals liberal dimcn
sions should fail to contain all. In
fact, this year has been one Of great
sensation, and has afforded any amount
Of subjects for newspaper scrlbblcrs.
But we don't class Ourself ~ OF Il pal
with those thousand correspondents or
reporters, who employ at least IL column
in order to tell that u man fell off the
bridge, or a cat jumped in the well
We are often diagusted with such pro-
ny verbaoity, and think editors should
refuse such admission into their cor
umnB.
Doubtless most Of our people have
read about the "ZOuavos," a military
company travelling through the United
States, visiting all the principal cities
1t seems ~ if, Phoenix-like, they
sprung into existence in n day, AT
least we never heard Of them until eve
ry paper was tcoming with accounts OF
them. This military company was at
the Holiday Theatre in Baltimore, the
other night, whore our eyes first rested
upon them, save that n few mighLhavc
been seen promcnading the streets the
day previous. They all live in Chica
60, and are certainly drilled to as ncal
perfection in military tactics as any
company in the world, equalIing, ne
doubt, the celebrated and efficient
French Zouavcs, who proved Of sucI,
benefit to France in some Of the late
wars. This company has boon to New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, and other places, Invita-
tons to many other cities had to be de-.
clined. The citizens Of each city sub
scribe money, and then, through THEN
local military companies, invite the
Zouaves. I'VE suppose that it cost,
from 5000 to $3.50 per diem topay then
expenses, and they have been absent
for more tlana month, though by thi,
time they are back in, or on their way
to, Chicago, where brilliant reception
awaits them. 1t is with pleasure We
alludc to the fact that the members OF
this company, some GO in number, are
not allowed to indulge in any sort OF
stimulating drinks, nor to visit any pIa.
COS ofimmorality 80 thick in cities. BE,
fore joining the company each one
takes Il solemn oath to abstain from
these things. So, yon See, thnt to be n
good Zouavc, II must be a gentleman.
1t is said that they all seem like II band
OF brothers, each "standing up" for the
other in any and all emcrgcncics-we
mean emergencies of an honorable ca
libre. AS to the case with which the
Zouaves can scale walls, and the thbus-
and they are capable of
going through, we must say more at
some future time. The major subject
now on our mind is the "Great Eas.
term" the mammoth vessel of the
world. We will commence.
THE GREAT EASTERN.

Saturday, in company with Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Henderson, s. A. Handy, and Mr..
Steine, we left Baltimore landing, on
board the good steamer Louisiana
There were some 300 aboard-somc
talking. some walking, some smoking,
some joking, and all seemingly happy.
We had rot proceeded a great distance
up the Bay of the Chesapeake before
the occasional peals OF thunder and Ia.
