THE SCENE ON THE DECK
Of the Idaho was truly picturesque and exciting.
The 2lO Zouaves had gathered on the forecastle,
corning square, while behind these the other
steerage passengers were standing apart as though
they had no intention OF taking part with the
Soldiers. I Fl f* se4 t
The uniform OF the Zoaaves consists OF q gray
short tnnic faced up with red braid, with strip Of
slver lace sewed across the shoulder In the place Of
spaulettes while on the under part Of each sleeve
twenty-five small round brass buttons are attacked
Tor ornamentation; the pantaloons are of the same
material rs the tunic, but made similar to those
worn by the TurcOs in the French army, being what
they term "bagged breeches.n These pantaOons
fasten by slip cord just below the knee where they
are met by o white ieathern gater fitting close to
tho leg from tho top OF the boot, and are
fastened At the sides by white ivory
buttons. But the most peculiar feature Of the dress
Ii the cesHtre rouge or red belt which fastens the
pantaloons around the waist. This belt Is about
lnree and half yards long, and IN order for q
