ZOuayes.

In my account of the review held by
Marshal MacMahon last month / re-
marked on the absence of the Zouaves.
! was not then aware that there were no
longer any in France. Since the war
they have returned TO their original
duties, which were those of colonial
troops. The Empire imported them
into France MS il did the Turcos-those
Sepoys of Algeria. When those CORPS
were introduced into the imperial guard
1t became necessary to have reserves TO
keep up their strength, and so line regi-
ments of Zouaves were brought into
French garrisons to serve as n nursery
for the Houaves of the guard. The late
war did good deal to dissipate the ex-
aggerated prestige of those semi Orien-
tai troops. As for the Turcos, after
Forbach and Woerth they were reduced
to a handful. Their European drill and
discipline made them formidable TO the
Arabs, and their desperate valor and fe-
rocity rendered themugly opponents even
to regular soldiers. But their value
was greatly diminished by the introduce
ton Of long-range rifles Excellent
skirmishers, their cat-like agility and
speed and ferocious or ct also made
them terrible in bayonet attack when,
regardless Of death, they charged home
to break a line or square. But wher
such charges had TO be made upor
troops carrying rifles that kill at
thousand yards, and fire six times in !
minute, the chief utility of the half-say
age Turcos was gone. 1t is unlikely
that either he or the Zouaves will agar
be seen figuring in European war. -

Ike Partington's Composition.

"Plymouth Rock" being the subject
given on for the exercise of the school,
the teacher and boys were astonislled
at the following luminous, composition
by Ike Partington, which displays
great historical acumen, aud most as
tonislling chronological facility
Plymouth Rock.-This rock was
brought to this country in the May
flower, in the year 1892, by the Pill
grims, under the direction of Elder o.
man Brewster, who afterwards moved
to Boston, and became an alderman of
that city. 1t was on this rock that
Governor Carver first shook hands with
Samoset. who said; "Welcome Eng
liSh !" 1t is recorded that when Samo-
set came up, Governor Carver asked
him if he was real Ingine, or only a
member of the 1ngine company.
The rock has long been regarded as
a famous place. The American eagle
for a great many years used to come
and whet his beak on the rock; but in
1853 Miles Standish, in order to keep
it from being stolen, carried it and put
it in front of Pilgrim Hall, where it re-
mains at the present time invested
with great interest and an iron fence.
The fence bears the names of all the
pilgrims in cast iron letters that can't
be rubbed out.
The work is a good deal worn out
by the illusions touching it that are
thrown off by Fourth of July orators.
Plymouth Rock is the corner stone Of
the cellar wall of our republican struc'
tnre, paregorically speaking, and the
spirit Of liberty sits upon it with a
drawn sword in one hand, and the
torch of freedom in the other; and il
foes invade the shore of Plymouth al
high water-for they never can get in
at low tide--they will throw this rock
in their teeth. 1t is precious legacy
from the past to the present, and from
it may be reckoned the Pilgrims Pro
greSS.

Melanchsly Symptoms.

This is what the Galveston News,
the chief Democratic paper of Texas,
says of the White League in the State
of Louisiana:
One of the organs of the White Lea
que in Louisiana denounces the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange for making,
incidentally, statistical exhibit of the
productive results of black labor en-
ployed on cotton plantations in the
nine rotton growing States. 1t says:
"Must we DOW down the head to the
cold calculation of the Cotton Ex-
changeq What care they in New Or
leans who suffers, provided the crops
are made by somebody and shipped to
them to grow rich upon? What does
it matter even if every planter in Lon
isiaua is bankrupt, so long as labor can
be produced tncultirate the mortgaged
plantations at a profit to the factors
and the banksq"
Another organ of the League, on the
assumption that the blacks are soli'lly
united in political hostility, threat
ening the rniu of honest aud snhstan-
tial white citizens, advises the latter,
both in city and country, to discard
black labor of every description, and
employ none but white laborers -
There could scarcely be sadder proof
of hopeless perplexity of mind and
desperation OF temper than such utter
ances affnrd. 1t it is madness, years
Of misrule and oppression are account
able for it.
Few cool and impartial observers
will dispute that the cotton exchanges
in the South are of decided advantage
to the Southern planting interest. AS
for discussing black labor to the extent
to which it has been employed hereto
fore, it was accepted simply because it
was the best, under the circumstances,
to be had, To reject it, while the same
circumstances continued, would be in
TIL nature of economical suicide
Where rs place could not be at once
supplied with white labor, industrial
paralysia would supervene; and where
it was so replaced the increased de-
mand fer white labor would greatly
raise wages and proportiopately re-
duce the yield from planting, manu-
facturinp or other Investments. Nor is
it reason TO suppose that the ne
groes in louisiana would be less nox-
ious as political element in a state of
enforced idleness. All experience
prove that there is no more fruitful
sources of all manrerot dangerous vices
than such condition.

A Gh0S,ly Scene.

The Washington correspondent of
the St. Panl Press draws the following
horrible and heartrending pen picture
Of the scenes around the Capitol during
the closing days of Congress:
"The different phases Of human ma
ture exhibited about the Capitol dur
ing these closing days of Congress ia a
subject worthy the pen of a Dickens or
a Thackeray-the excited crowds of
men and women jos'ling each other in
the lobbles and corridors, with eager,
anxions faces. as if intent on the nc.
complishment of something upon which
depended their very existence. Here
they are again encrrcled without the
door of either hall, waiting response
to the card they have sent in by the
patient and polite doorkeeper to their
respective member or SENATOR Here
is the cold blooded professional lobby
list waiting to put in = last word for
the pending scheme in which rests all
his hopes and all his money, until an
other session, at least. There, on The
onter circle 10 the pale and anxious
widow and mother, who wants to know
if Mr.. So-and So has been to the de.
partment to secure her place, and won't
he go before he leaves, else she don't
know what will become of her and her
poor children And God only knows
what will become Of them! Here, too,
you see the dependent mother or Wild
ow of the brave soldier, who died that
his country might live anxious about
her pension. And here is the profess
ticnal hanger on and the seedy polit'-
clan. And. alas here are women with
CHASTITY smiles and sunken eyes, which
speak of revels by night and remorse
by day, glad of passing excitement and
regretting the coming adjournment.
Here, indeed, are all sorts Of people,
tor all sorts of purposes animated with
every emotion which the human heart
is capable ofexperiencing."
No wonder the thermometer is close
upon one hundred in the shade

SALT BRINE For L1CE.-In answe

SALT BRINE For L1cE.-In answer
to many inquiries for remedy for
lice, the Rural World states than an
application of brine, as strong as can
be made, is a certain remedy. 1t
will kill the lice out right, but not al
ways the nits; hence a second or
third application is required to be ef-
fectual. Hogs are greatly pestered
with lice, and they should be des-
troyed. Watch the colts and calves
carefully, and if you see any failing,
look out for lice. A close inspection
will reveal hundreds of them feeding
upon the poor animal. An applica-
ton, on a warm day, of brine will
bring great relief. A decoction of to-
bacco applied will also rid the ami
NAL of these pests. A thorough
greasing is also q remedy. Don't let
the poor animal suffer. These appli-
cations are as good for human Beings
as for brutes.

A Doctors Fee.

The son and heir Of the late Edwin
Stevens, Mr.. John G.. Stevens, although
he is the posstssor OF almost unlimited
wealth, being worth some 5000, 900,
has until very lately, been a most un-
happy man. He has been afflicted
since his birth with a peculiar. wen,
which has increased year by year, ua-
til it covered a large portion of his face
and neck. 1t was most unpleasant
object, being covered with long hair,
and strangely resembled an animal.
No man could see it without shndder,
and ladies have tainted at the sight OF
it. OF course Mr.. Stevens felt the af-
fiction most keenly, and it had, natn-
rally enough, very depressing effect
upon his spirits. What was his i'm
mense wealth to him9 Any workman
in his employ was more to be env,ed
than he. He became morose and al
most melancholy; society that lie was
exceedingly fond of he studiously
avoided, and although young man.
he became almost recluse. The ply
sicians and surgeons of Europe were
consulted, but they all said that to re.
move the Wen could but result in his
death. Although his life was so mise
rable still there was hope, and he bore
bravely up against repeated disappoint-
ments.
Deliyerance. came at last, and few
days ago an operation was performed
which has made him new man. DR..
Willard Parker, of this city, had faith
to believe that the wen could he re-
moved. He told Mr.. Stevens so, and
the young man, erasping at the straw,
promised him $4,000 if he would
perform the operation successfully.
He did so, and earned tile everlasting
gratitude, as well as the money, of the
young millionaire, who is now pro.
nounced out of danger. The operation
was performed with electric knifes,
and it ia said that when the horrid
tumor was removed, the skin beneath,
was as sound and smooth as that OF
any other part of the body. Notwith-
standing the cloud that has hung over
his whole life, the young man has had
his love affair, Ike the rest of US. III
early youth he was betrothed to little
girl, the daughter of one of his fathers
dearest friends, who always loved him
and sorrowed With Ills affection
While the hateful thing was upon him,
it is said, Mr.. Stevens gave up all idea
of being married, but now that it has
been removed, we shall expect soon to
hear OF great wedding festivities at

"Tip"-A, Dog.

A correspondent writing from Wea-
togue, in S,msbury, sends US word of
the death Of Zip" Now Tip, al
though nothing but a dog-a part
"black-and-tau" dog, too, with cur
cross, if we remember aright-was yet
more intelligent than some human be-
ings. He had the faculty Of reason,
just as clearly and Enthusiastically az
human beings have it; the difference
being not in kind, but in degree. He
was Hartford dog; and we witnessed
the occurrence, described long ago in
the Times, to which our correspondent
here refers:
We have preserved scrap of paper
which contains little item relative to
"Tip's" sagacity, and which was pub
lished in the Hartford Times fifteen
years ago.
1t is worth repeating. He was in a
private ground where another and lar
ger dog had got possession of a bone.
Tip year ned for that bone, az much as
Seward yearned in 1860 for the Repub.
!ican nomination for the Presidency.
He failed after various Efforts to snatch
it away; and then he suddenly ran off
two or three rods to certain tree, and
began paving and snufing fercely
abont the roots, and setting up a tre-
mendons yelping and barking. Shot,
paying little attention to all this, kept
on munching his bone; and then the
bowls and yells of Tip became fierce
indeed ; it was just as If he had holed a
bear or tiger. He harked with an
energy and earnestness indicating that
he was really "right upon" some very
desperate varmint. He paved, snuffed
eagerly at the ground and tore up the
soil as if his life depended upon the ra-
pidity of his work, and kept barking
more and more fercely. Shot became
interested. This fierce barking, snuff
ing and paving evidently meant bust
ness. Very likely that pert whiffet Of
a dog had found at least coon. He
would 60 and see. Dropping his bone
he ran to the tree and tegan eagerly to
snuff about. Tip-little rascal!-had
planned for just this. Watching bis
chances, as soon as Shot gave him a
chance, he sprang like an arrow back
to that bone-grabbed it, and made
such time as "Goldsmith Maid" never
dreamed of in securing safe retreat
in place where he knew Shot couldn't
get at him. His cunning trick was
successful; he obtained that bone.
And if there was not reason IN the CAL
culation of this plot-real human reas.
on-what was it, Hartford Times.

The Change in Northern Sentiment.

We make the following extract
from the New York correspondence
of hi Chicago Evening Journal,
which would indicate that there is a
marked change going on in the minds
of the Northern people in regard to
the negroes:
The negro governments in the re-
constructed States are becoming a
source of no little solicitude to those
hereabouts who have been the fast
friends of the colored race in years
gone by. A change of public senti-
ment is rapidly going on in this Sec
ton Of the North, which BODIES no
good to "colored gentlemen who
now hold the reins Of authority in
South Carolina and some OF h G
Southern States. People are begin
ming to feel that while there was a
good deal of poetic justice in South
Cardinals being subjected to the
domination of the very race which to
hold in bondage she essayed the de-
struction of the Union-the thing
has gone far enough. I make a
prophecy. and that is that unless the
negro rulers down in Dixie turn over
new leaf, and that very soon, too,
they will array against them and on
the side of the Southern whites the
very same Northern Unionists who
did and suffered so much for them.
The tendency of feeling in that di-
rection is very perceptible hereabouts
and you know how easy a thing it is
for the tide to carry everything be-
fore it when it sets strong in one di-
rection. After the war a county in
Alabama was named after William
E. Dodge, of this city. Not long
since he and his son were down there
to attend some anniversary occasion.
Mr.. Dodge was unquestionably dis
gusted with the performance of some
of the negro politicians and rulers.
He said to a friend of your cores
pendent who was stopping ut the
same hotel, 81 fear we gave the ne
gro the battle too soon."
