Europe, unless, perhaps, you
except the Germans. You see
that at the age of nineteen
every man is obliged to serve for
six years in the regular army, or
with the colors as they call it. The
regular army is called the Mizam.
After their six years service they
are entitled to a discharge, and are
attached to the Redif. Those be-
longing to the frst-class reserve, or
Cadies of the Redif, are obliged to
serve two months each yaar in the
respective provinces to which they
belong. They are efficient as reg
ularS, and supply the officers and
non. commissioned officers to the
irregulars, Of Bashi Bazouks. The
second class Redif consists Of the
older veterans, or those who have
been retired from active service.
They are on duty only one month
of each year. No Christians are
allowed to serve in the army, they
being exempt by the payment of a
poll tax of about four dollars per
annum. The Turkish regiment
consists of 5000 men commanded
by Mirali Bey, and it is divided
Into three battalions Of 1000 men,
each commanded by a Bimbashe, a
rank equivalent to our major. You
see that they are thoroughly a mil,
itary people by custom as well as
by nature, for they have the fight

WHO was Engenle,. FatherY

A paragraph has been going the
rounds to the effect that the ex.
Empress Eugene has sued the Droit
de PHomme, the Paris Radical
organ, for libel, in declaring that
she was illegitimate. 1t is said,
alsa, that actions will be brought
against other journals by the ex-
Empress mother, the Countesse dc
Montijo, and it has been promised
that all damages obtained will be
paid to the Nincennes Asylum,
founded by Eugene. The article
from the paper above named, to
which the principal exception seems
to have been taken, is as follows
" During the Empire it was always
impossible to get glance at a
volume of the Gazette des Tribune
aux for the second half Of the year
1881, although full files of that
Journal ore supposed to be in the
National Library. Under the head:
ing Foreign Criminal Courts will
be found in the Gazette of that

it appears that Mime, Montijo had
only two children by her husband,
the one a daughter, who died at the
age of nine months, IN 1928, the
other q son, who died In 1898, aged
fifteen years, and that N. de Montijo
died in 1928, while Eugenie, who
had been represented as his daugh,

"LOst Cause. /"

For the benefit of some who think
the Republican party has fulfilled its
mission, we give the following extract
from a bitter harangue at the Gene
terry in Charlotte, N. c., on memorial
day. May 10th, made by Rev. S.
Taylor Martin. The sentiment he ex.
pressed would seem to show that se
cession is not dead, but only slumber.
ing:
ut is with mingled feelings of sor-
row and satisfaction that l to-day re-.
call the issues of 1860 and 1861.
We all mourn the loss of our glorious
dead and heroic fallen. The south is
to day, ruled over by the miserable
thrall of Yankeedom; but they can
not muzzle our chivalry and patriotic
devotion to the lost cause. We fought
for our rights, but in Gods dispensa-
ton We are vuanquisl ed but not
cowed.' Here the gentleman went
into harangue on the cause of the
war, and alluding to the future he
salu: slavery, was a divine lnstltu-
ton, and we must have that institu-
tion or the south will ever be bank
rupt. They speak of our cause as the
lost cause If so, shall it be lost
forever? No! A new generation has
sprung up, and at not far distan,
day there will be stars and bars float
ing proudly over our sunny south. Iu
the next political campaign we must,
even in the minority, support south
ern man who will build up our interest
and hurl the Yankee pick pockets from
our midst. We are to-day united to
the puritanical host by an artificial tie;
but we are distinct people, and God
and the right will enable us to show
the world the truth and the equity of
our claims. Our statesmen now in
Congress are the cream of that body.
and are the only element that reflects
credit on the United States. 1t is
better to hang on to the lost eau se'
than to stay in government of cor
ruption.

ShOeing Gen. Grants Horses.

A paper having published state
ment that President Grant had the
stock on his Missouri farm shod at
Government expense, and that he had
Capt. Robinson, of the regular army
detailed to lay out race course on
his estate. Nat Carlin, late Superin-
tendent of the farm in question, was
interviewed Tuesday on the subject,
and says there is but little truth in the
account published. He says that he,
himself, without President Grants
knowledge or suggestion, went to
Gen. Grierson, cavalry recruiting Of
6cer here, and asked that Captain
Robinson be sent down to the farm,
not to lay out track but to widen a
short turn in a track already made.
Grierson said he could not detail an
officer for that purpose. but that Rob-
inson could 60 voluntarily if he chose.
The next day Grierson, Robinson, and
John Herman, Chief Veterinary Sur
geon and Farrier of the Army, came
to the farm and the track was widen
ed ard the chain was run round to get
the new distance. No detail of pri-
vs;e soldiers was made, nor were any
soldiers present with Robinson. In
regard to the horse shoeing business,
Carlin says Herman did come to the
farm occasionally aud shoe horses but
he did not use Government shoes.
On one occasion, Graot wrote to him to
see Herman, an get him to shoe his fa-
vorite stations, "Peacemaker," and
"Young Hambletonian," Grant stating
that Herman was an excellent shoer
He offered to pay Herman, but Ker-
nan refused compensation. He wrote
Grant that Herman would not accept
pay, and Grant wrote to him to ex-
tend any favor he could to Herman.
He kept two horses for Herman one
winter on the farm without pay. Car
lin says that, on one or two occasions,
he took horses belonging to Gen
Grant down to the barracks for Ker-
nan tie shoe, but Herman never used
Government shoes. Carlin says that
he had written instructions from c.
w. Ford, President Grants St. Louis
business agent, to give the shoeinr of
the horses to Herman.

Ex.Confederate Rowdyism.

There WAS a lively spat In the
House last week, between Garfield and
Singleton, Confederate General from
Mississippi. Singleton was making a
speech on the investigation of the Con-
gressional printer, and he brought in
the name of Senator Anthony very
disrespectfully. General Garfield rose
to point of order that it was discour-
teous to mention the name of United
States Senators in that manner. There
was a great deal of confusion, Single
ton shouting very loud and Cox in the
chair trying to drown his voice by
hammering With the gavel. When
quiet was partially restored, the chair
sustained General Garfelds point of
order and rebuked Singleton. The
latter angrily retorted with an inquiry
as to why Garfield did not call Ballou,
of Rhode: Island, to order, who had
just spoken. and who Singleton claim
ed had first introduced Senator An
thongs name. General Garfield re-
Piled that Mr.. Ballou had not used
Mr. Anthony's name. Singleton ne
torted with an insinuation that Gar
field lied. The excitement at this
point became intense, and the mem
bers gathered around the disputants.
while speaker Cox raped his gavsl
TIL there was perfect bedlam. Gen.
Garfield rose in his seat and told Sin
gleton if be charged him with lie he
should hold him personally responsible,
whereupon the ex-Confederate backed
down with the excuse that the use of
Mr.. Anthony's name by Mr.. Ballou
must have escaped General Garfeld's
notlce. Ballou and Eames, of Rhode
Island, who was sitting beside him
both stated that Anthony's name was
not used. Ballou said be had spoken
entirely from manuscript, which was
now On the clerks desk and would
show Singleton then went on with
his speech, and quiet was restored.
he afterwards apologized to General
Garfield

ING TO THE CENTENNIAL-Mr. Sol
omon Soule,, of Stoughton, farmer,
and an old resident of that section Of
Dane county, started for the Centen-
nal Exhibition yesterday. The man
ner in which he and his family-in all
eight persons-are travelling, is akin
to the days before railways were built.
He proposes to travel to Philadelphia
in light wagons, and to make the
journey as pleasant as possible, he or.
dcred two light spring vehicles, each
drawn by span of sprightly mustang
ponies. He also takes along an ex-
ira horse, to be used in case of emer-
gency. One Of the wagons conveys
the family, and the other provisions
and bedding. Easy camp chairs, In
stead OF common seats are provided
for the family in the wagon. Mr..
Soule has driver for one of the teams.
and takes charge Of the other him
self. He has also a good tent which
will be put up for lodging in, each

proposes to drive to Maine, his former
