long interview with New York Herald

opinion chat wooden ships are safer than

In the French army, cavalry bands
have been suppressed and uniforms are
neither so varied nor 80 brilliant as they

the bait of gaudy trappings is not re-.
CURED, and with the new arms Of pre-
cision snowy colors afford too fair mark
to the enemy. Even white horses are
being eliminated from the army service
as far as possible. There are no zouave
regiments now except in Algeria.
