for his idleness and his love 70 the streets OF
Saruevo, playing on the tambourica. O.

Omer paid no attention TO his fathers counsels,
and refused to work. He was known at Saraie-

house. from window To window--such was HIS
occupation. Everybody saw that OHler was not
vet ripe for marriage, and marriage was forold-
Den him. both on account OF his youth and his
empty parse. Everybody was convinced that
the devil was in him. The shame OF his conduct
reflected upon his poor parents. The sorrow
which they experienced abridged their lives !;
they died.
Ouer remained the chief Of cracked and
empty house with three orphans. For a long
time he had been DESTROYS TO live in freedom,
without having to incur his fathers reproaches,
and to be able to satisfy all his caprices; but he
soon felt how hard it was to live without parents
and how heavy was the house upon his shout

Mecklenhurg Strcli,S, and was born March %

tion, and took an active part in the campaigns
OF 1913 and 1910 against France He was made
Governor of Pomerana in 1910, and held the
position until 1918, when the progress of the
revolution forced him to seek refuge in Eng.
land In May of the same year he was elected
member of the Constituent Assembly. and re.
turned to Berlin. In 1910 he commanded the
Prussian army sent against the rcvolutlonists of
Baden; and in 1858, when the reignng King
became insane, he was appointed Regent. He
siBnalized his advent to this position by dismiss.

French Zouavcs and their Cats.

France possesses several special or extra corps
entirely distinct from the regular army, the ma
tonal guard, or the marines. One Of them, and
perhaps the most peculiar and eccentric, is the
zouaves.
There are two kinds of zouaves, the African
or original zouaves, who, in time of peace, are
always stationed in Africa. and whose strength
there is about l., 900 men, and the zouaves, who
are armed, equipped and drilled like the original
corps, but do not possess the same perfection in
maneuvering, &c.
These latter are only stationed part of the
time IN Africa; the greater part are stationed in
various parts of France. In their armament the
zouaves differ materially from the regular infant
ry, particularly in their bayonets, which have
the shape of scythes and their side arm, which
Is the Algerian vataghan-that is, the peculiar
short sword of the kabyles also in so far that
they prefer to use their own private revolvers
NO one can become a zouave who is not born
Frenchman, and u very large number of them
are recruited among the Paris loafers and gam
ms. Their drilling comprises, besides the usual
military evolutions, more particularly also gym
nastlcs and no one can serve among them for
any length of time who is not an accomplished
and perfect swimmer, jumper and climber.
Their style of fighting differs accordingly
from that of the regular infantry. They make
no bayonet attacks in close lines, but spread
themselves out so as to have more room for strik-
ing about with their bayonets. and they enter
the enemy's lines on the full run and with largo
bounds.
One of their ecoentricites is their love for
cats, and they prefer as pets the large gray and
black cat of Algeria. The training Of these cats
is admirable. They know not only all the SOL
diers, bat also their four footed comrades be.
longing to the same battalion, and easily pick
out their own masters under all circumstances.
They are very obedient to them, and not only on
the march, but also in battle, take up their po-
sitions on their knapsacks- which position
they participate in the fight according to their
own peculiar style, by jumping into the face of
the enemy, and scratching and biting in furious
manner
During the Crimean war the wounds tn the
faces of the Russian soldiers from these cats
were so serious and numerous that they had TO
establish at Odessa separate ward in the hospi.
tai for the better healing of them.
In climbing up and attacking rocky height,
the zouaves command their cats to the front to
lead the way, and carefully watching the way
the cats take, they follow them closely, and take
advantage of every foothold pointed out by their
trusty and agile comrades.

4 JUDIc1AL VIEW Or SECESSION The
late Justice GFier, Of the United States
Supreme Court, though allied to the
Democratic party before the war, gave to
the governmental firm and unquestioning
supportin its great struggle for existence.
In his address to the jurYi in tho piracy
case of the United States Is. William
Smith, which was tried before him and
Judge Cadwalaler, he thus treated the
abstract right Of SECESSION: a-.gsf ~
"Theriglit to secede is not to be found
in the Constitution, either in its letter OF
It's spirit. If!so, IL would be flo de a. It

independent and sovereign contederates.
