The FRENCH CoRPoRAL.--A corporal in the
French service is kind of hybrid soldier. He is
not private, neither is he considered a non-com-
missioned officer. He messes and lodges with the
privates; gets the same rations, the same quality
of cloth for his clothing, is obliged to live on
terms of intimacy with them, play with them and
yet must command and punish when necessary.
Forced to live thus with these men, it requires
tact for corporal to remain friendly With his COM
rades and at the same time to retain his authority.
1t would be utterly impossible for him to do SO
were it not for the law Of the French military ser.
vice, VIII ch renders a superior liable to pun
ishment if he neglect to punish man who has
misconducted himself. Officers have long ago
recognized the rank Of corporal as the most difficult
to fill in the military hierarchy. They have all
admitted that the corporals are the catspaws Of
regiments. 1t might be imagined that under such
circumstances the corporalis a miserable man. On
the contrary, he is the oies soldier in the regi-
ment. In the first stages of his responsibility he
may get little despairing at seeing that to do
what he will, he cannot please; but it soon wears
off. He soon learns why he, .is-always punished,
and soon gets to knew <ss"t he xsst-
peg for any officer or superior's anger. Hence,
when ssblown-up" officer turns round and con-
fines his corporal four days to ba racks the cor
poral will frequently give him wink, and the Off
Ger will answer with laugh. Officers having re-
cognized the difficulties of corpocal's position,
make allowances. for his frequent punishments
Often his score will be rubbed out. Officers show,
also, great indulgence in other ways to those poor
,oufres m sercs, besides which, they in certain
measure, fear them. A CO .,tain having bad set
of corporals will continr lily be reprimanded for
untidy men. Another plain. more conciliatory,
will have tidy men and always receive compli-
ments. The corporal incite the men of his
squad to work, and BY his energy, zeal and exam
PIE, can make them rapid in their duties. The
corporal's opinion on any subject is accepted by
all the men under his immediate control; he makes
black popular to-day, and condemns it irretrieva-
bly, tomorrow He it is who makes an officer pop
ular or unpopular, confers ncknameS, and is gene
rally at the bottom of all fun. When had been
rugged out with afatigue-dress, Corporal de Bonfls
told me that looked like pantin puppet; that
was as stiff as the Colonnc Vendome in fact,
that was regullr sssgodam,' oh yes!' and of
fered to wager that he would cut round our room
and touch the 40 men there before could touch
dozen. This he proceeded to do in most extra
ordinary manner; he spun round the room like
pegtop and first with one hand and then the other,
and with each foot alternately, slapped and kicked
every man. standing at the foot OF his bed on pur-
pose; then turned a somersault, and fn.shed off
with a few of the most admired steps of the can
can, and grotesque imitation of the Colonel in a
rage.-.AH the Year Round.
