we commend the following au>
thentic story to the attention of
the innumerable admirers of the
French Zouaves, who won such a
conspicuous place in military his
tory. The Arabs of the Benz Snas-
sen tribe are great amateurs OF
gunpowder and never neglected an
opportunity of prowling about the
French camp, and Offering the
soldiers large sums of money for
the coveted article. They pretend
to be Arabs of the neighborhood,
friendly to the French, and say they
wanted the powder for hunting.
One day it was discovered that
the Zouaves had been selling their
powder. To paint the fury Of the
officers in command of the Arab
bureau is an impossible thing, but
he resolved to discover the culprits
and punish them severely. An
Arab in the service Of the
bureau went in MYSTERIOUS
way in quest of powder. A
Zouave brought him four cart
ridges, and asked him 20 francs
for them. The bargain was struck,
but the spy instantly disclosed his
official character, and brought the
cartridge vender before the com
mander.
"Is it you, them" cried the of
ficer, coward and knave, who
would have your comrades assassin
ated by the Benz Snassens?''

''You have committed base &C
ton"
II admit it commander; but will
this same powder that I sold, 1 an
going to blow my brains out; tina
will save the trouble of a cour
martial, and Zouaves will not b.
dishonored by q public sentence.
With these words the Zouav'
took a cartridge, loaded pisto
with it, dropped a round ball i,
the barrel, and, with superb cool
ness, put the muzzle to his heat
and pulled the triggers. TIL,
weapon missed fire, and the Zouav
burst into hoarse laugh.
"The Judge has acquitted me,
said he.
"How 500" said the commandant
"Why, You see, Commandant
that the powder I sell to the Benz
Snassens is only ground charcoal
the balls are made of clay, tn
whole done up in genuine cartridge
You have just seen a proof of it.
It was true. The Zouave ha,
cheated his customers, and he ad
ded with an air of triumph:
''The first time the Benz Snaf
sens come into action, all thei
pieces will miss fire, and you Wi
gain the battle"
''Then you have sold a goo
deal of powder?"
"Rather" the Zouave exhit

solid gold. Though the Arabs ma
be pretty sharp fellows, they ar
no match in cunning for the Zor

A singular phenomenon.

We saw at the Central Railroad
freight house, recently, barrel of gas
oline from which the fluid was escap-
ing in small quantities. The evapor-
alton of the fluid was so great that,
warm as the day was, a thick coating
of ice was formed on the barrel and
also on the floor, where the drippings
fell. The ice resembled a coating Of
snow white frost, and was fully an
inch thick. 1t now remains for some
ofour Swans to explain how this
phenomenon was produced in the open
air on warm autumnal day.-Macon

through the press alone, but by persons
throughout the States actually benefited
and cured at his Office. While he publishes
less, SO say our reporters, he is unable to sup
ply the demand. 1t gains and holds its rep

loosening and assisting nature 10 throw OF

Second. 1t removes the cause of irritation
(Which produces cough) of the mucous men,

TIE POLAR EXPEDITION.

The British Government has taken up the
new Polar expedition in earnest, and every
thing is to be done to make its explorations
effectual, and to provide for the health and
security of the crews. Sir Leopold McC lintock,
Captain Young and other naval officers who
have been commissioned to look after the ar
rangements, have already been to the north of
Scotland to see whether any of the vessels en-
ployed in the seal or whale fisheries are suita-
bic for the expedition; and it is supposed that
they have found couple of whaling steamers
which will answer for their purpose. The
route of the expedition will be by Smiths
sound. One of the vessels will remain as a
depot at some point to be afterwards fixed
upon, at about $40 miles from the Pole, and
the other will push on as far north as it can.
The expedition will start next summer, and is
to remain away two years. 1t will consist of
over one hundred officers and men. who, it is
expected, will mostly be selected from the
Royal navy, although some experienced ice
men will doubtless be obtained from the whaling
service. The commander of the expedition has
not yet been chosen, but it will probably be
one of the younger men. Great preparations
are being made to provide an adequate supply
of stores.

Mr.. Wilson sat at the west side of the table,
with Mr.. Forster and Speaker Blaine on his
