In nv account of the review held by
Marshal MacMahon last month j re-
marked on the absence of the zouaves.
/ was n, t then aware that there were no
longer any in France. Since the war
they have returned to their original du-
ties. which were those of colonial
troops. The empire imported them into
France as it did the Turcos-those Sc
poys of Algeria. When these corps
were introduced into the imperial
guard it became necessary to have re-
serves to keep mp their strength, and so
line regiments of Houaves were brought
into French garrisons to serve as a nur-
sery for the Zouaves of the guard. The
late war did a good deal to dissipate
the exaggerated prestige of those semi
oriental troops. As for the Tureos, al
ter Forbach and Woerth they were re-
duced to a handful. Their European
drill and discipline made them formi
dable to the Arabs, and their desperate
valor and ferocity rendered them ugly
opponents even TO regular soldiers
But their value was greatly diminished
by the introdaeEion of long-range r1fies,
Excellent skirmishers, their cat-like
agility and speed and f,rocious onset
also made them terrible in bayonet
attack when, regardless of death, they.
charged home TO break a line or square.
But when such charges are to be made
upon troops carrying rifles that kill at
a thousand yards, and FIRE six times in
a minute. the chief utility of the half
savage TuEcos was gone. Il was IN
likely that either he or the Zouaves will
again be seen figuring in a European
war Paris Letter.

Harps,

He who thinks that harps have gone
out of fashion is very mucn mistaken.
To be sure it is a long time since the
harp " through Tara's halls the soul OF
music she'd" but that delightful old
instrument still lives. There is place
op Houston street, in New York city,
where harps are manufactured, and 1t
is, / believe, the only place OF the KIND
in this country. [ am told that before
the war there was an excellent sale for
harps throughout the south that the
trade has fallen off there, owing to the
scarcity of money, but that it has ex-
tended largely over the middle and
western states. The southern ladies
still cling to their old harps, but they
buy very few new ones. One reason
that harps are not more generally played
upon is that there are so very few teach
ers scarcely any to be found outside
the converts there are not more than
half dozen teachers in New York.
There is always harp in every we'll
II gulated orchestra, for that instrument
PLAYS an important part in number OF
operas, such as " Fidelio," " Lucia,
and others. Mime. Maretzek, who is a
remarkable fine harpist, always accom-
panies her husbands orchestra in that
capacity. Iwonder that more ladies do
not learn to play the harp. In the first
place it makes rich accompaniment to
the voice, and in the second it displays
q beautiful hand and arm to such ad-
vantage. There is an excellent harpist
with Thomas orchestra. Mr.. Browne,
the head partner of the manufacturing
firm in this city, is also fine performer,
and has played in orchestras both in
this.eountry and Europe. Mr.. Browne
tells me that he has just as many orders
for harps as he can fill, and that they
are busy all the time. The harp is an
expensive instrument, ranging in price
from $3.50 to 81, 600; those that sell at
$3.50 are single action instruments, that
is, they can only be played in one key.
The double action harps are of course
the more desirable, also the most ex-
pensive; the average price, however, is
about $500. There is an air OF romance
about the harp which we miss in other
instruments unless it is the violin, 1t Is
SO graceful and picturesque. En-.

An Old Maid Badly Foiled.

A Phenixville maid, quite old, be-
coming anxious about her matrimonial
chances. recently eoncocted a plan to
deceive young fellow as TO her age.
This was the way she tried it The
old family Bible contained fearful re-
cor of all births, marriages, and
deaths. This volume the maiden took
to her chamber, and selecting the birth
page, she managed by dint Of scratch
ing and writing to change the date OF
her birth to a period eleven years later
Il an what it had legitimately been re-
corded. Then the Bible was placed on
tie sibting-room table in conspicuous
manner. That evening came along the
lover. He soon began 10 finger with
the Bible pages, aud finally reached the
birth record, where and when he discov-
cred to his surprise, that his Angelina

thought it strange, as she appeared

Audubon.

A little incident related in the " Lite
of Audubon" the celebrated naturalist,
forcibly illustrates the patient, persist
ent, painstaking manner In which men
of science, as we'll as men OF letters,
prosecute their Investigations. 1t was
while Audubon was hunting IN the for
estg of Louisiana that he discovered a
tinv little wood bird hitherto unknown
to the ornithologist. It was not so big
as wren. and was clad in a coat OF
snch plain, sober gray, that none but
nraeticed ewes would detect it fitting
in and out among the similar eolQred
branches of the peculiar species OF trees
II inhabited. But, however humble
the bird might be, to Audubon it was
one of the charming and curious race
of beings that interested HIM above al
other living things, and to ascertain Its
history and habits was matter OF as
much importance as though 1t we're
chief of the tribe. He, therefore, bent
every energy of his intense and eager
nature to the study of it. One night
he came home with the exciting news
that he had found a pair which were
eyiden Iv preparing to build nest.
Next morning he was up and oil to
the woods by daybreak, taking along
with him o telescope microscope.

then laid quietly down on siie
with his eye to the Instrument, and re-
nained throughout the ive-long hours
until nightfall, watching the move
ments of the secret and unsuspeetlng
This course he repeated
day after day, for three weeks, without
respite or intermission, and then he was
able to tell, with minute and accurate
details. lust what material these builders
in the heart of the wild wood choose
for their dwellings, just how they put
it together, and the number OF days re-
ouired to complete the process OF lncu-
baton. In short, by this noiseiess,
solitary. tireless vigilance, he had gath
cred up ali the various chapters IN the
history of this nameless forest-lnhabl-
tant, and bound them together IN
and unique volume. 1t was
thus that Audubon made himself ac-
ouainted with the peculiar and oharac-
teristic traits of the birds OF America
and came to know them as he knew the
faces of his wife and children, and
could draw each one of them in the
most natural and life-like attitude, with
every spot of color and adjustment OF
feather exactly as it should be, and
always with the accompaniment of some
spray of plant or branch of tree, that,
growing near its favorite haunts, was
especially identified with it.

The Real ohinaman.

Bret Harte. in describing Chinaman

habitually carry his forefpger extended
before him at right angles with his
body. nor did I ever hear him utter the
nysterious sentence, 'Ching ring

crave. deeorous, handsome gentleman.
His complexion, which extended all
over his head, except where his long

Of glazed brown paper muslin. His
ewes were block and bright and his eye
lids set at an angle Of forty-fve degrees;
his nose straight and delicately formed /;
his mouth small and his teeth white and
clean. He wore q dark blue silk blouse,
and in the streets, on cold days, a short
Jacket of astrakhan fur. He wore also
a pair of drawers Of blue bFocade gath
cred tightly over his calves and ankles,
offering a general sort of suggestion that
he had forgotten his trousers that morn
ing, but that, SO gentlemanly were his
manners. his friends had forborne to
mention the fact to him. His manner
was ylrbane, although quite serious. He

Soft-ittered is the new-yesrs lambing-fold,
And in the followed haystack at its side
The shepherd hes o'night now, wakeful-eyed
At the e9esi Travelling call through the dark cold
The young rocks eheep mid the thick cav o the
old;
And near unpeopled Btream-sides, on the ground,
By her spring-cry the moor-heu's nest is found,
Where the drained hood-ands faunt their mari
gold
Chill are the gusts to which the pastures COVER
And chill the current where the young reeds staud
As green and close as the young wheat on land
Yet here the cuckoo and the cuckao-fower
Plight to the heart springs perfect imminent hour,
Whose breath shall sooth You like your dear ones
ifand.

had left at the hotel but a short time
before. 6 Why. how remarkable we
should have recognized each other at
such a 1istance?" exclaimed both in the
same breath and then they changed
the subject.
