THE zouAvEs. PICNIC.
An Admirable Display OF Military Skill
Tho Chicks In Their Old Form.

Tho Chicks In Their Old Form.
The picnic Of the Merchants Zouavcs
at jackson Mound Park last night eclipsed
all their previous successes in that line,
and drew out an immense throng. Tho
presence Of vast number Of ladies
atlesied the popularity Of the company
with the fair sex, aud the Zouavcs have
reason to be proud OF the array Of beauty
which greeted them when they made their
appearance on the floor. The exercises
began with full dress drill by the Mem.
phis Military Institute Cadets, who turned
out twenty strong under command OF
Capt Tom Owens. aud gave a splendid
exhibition OF military skill. The boys nc
quilted themselves in a manner that would
have done credit 10 older heads.
The full dress plume drill by the Chick
nsaw Guards was an agreeable surprise 10
all who witnessed Il. Six fours were In
the column, under the command Of Capt.
Harry Allen, and they made magnificent
appearance, the beautiful uniform OF the
Chicks never showing 10 better adyant-
age. The fact that all but three
OF the company wofc recent recruits
had disposed the audience 10 set their ex-
pectations at low pitch. but no such in-
diligence was needed. Capt Harry Aliens
determined drilling has already had its
effect, and his company went througlfihe
manual and marching cyolutions with ad-
mirable precision and snap. The bm :.
sight OF the iayOritc old uniiouN
had an inspiring effect ON the audienctl
but when they saw the boys passi
from command TO command without a
break a thrill OF exultation went through
the crowd and when the Chicks marched
OH the air was rent with cheers and APP
plause. The universal impression was that
these boys will win back Tor Memphis the
military prestige that once was hers.
They've got the sluiT In them TO do II, and
do Il they will.
The German Turnyorein gave an cxhi-
bition In yaulting and other exercises,
which were much admired. This was fol-
lowed by fencing bout with foils between
Prof Pian aud Mr.. John Sohm, both Of
whom proved themselves accomplished

NOODY'S TRIUMPH OVER TAYLOR

THE millionaires. railroaders and jobbers
are making common cause to control the
Constitutional Convention in Washington
Territory, so as to shape things to suit
themselves and give them the political
control OF the new State and the disposi-
ton Of its valuable lands. A %ecial from
Seattle TO The Nc,g York World says that
several heavy milionaires are entered for
the Senatorial race, and the Northern Pa
cific Railroad will take u hand. The i'm
migration Of politicians from the East has
been very heavy, and there will be big
fight for every office. Already the Repub-
lican party is badly split over Territorial
appointments made for the brief term
until November, and Delegate Allen,
whose advice President Harrison followed,
is bitterly assailed by scores Of Republican
papers. No principle is involved, but the
rapid advance in real estate values has
made men rich and now they yearn for
fame. The chief topic Of discussion is the
State lands, and in Puget Sound. where
the tide aatsin the harbors have enormous
value, the land grabbes are working TO
secure the claims they have staked and
the opposition 10 them is on the ground
that the State should own the flats"

THE race and the religious question are
monopolizing the attention Of the Canad-
ians Just now and secession and a complete
burst up or break up OF the Dominion or
Colonial Confederation is the alternative
presented by the leading Protestants Of
Ontario. A Nor York HraH correspond
ent, furnishing the pros and cons OF the
agitation to that paper, says that ''the
English speaking people Of the country
are aroused rs never before, and II they
fail to check the French and Catholic ag-
erosion by legal means, then the next
move will be 10 agtaic for the abolition Of
French MS an official language Of the coun-
try and an attempt TO deprive the French
Of their special privileges in the matter Of
religion and law secured by the treaty OF
Paris. Ontario is beginning TO feel the
pinch OF French invasion by their exclu-
sion Of English in their schools in her
Eastern counties, and has made up her
mind that no language but English shall
be taught in her public schools. This is
the issue, independent altogether Of the
Jesuit question, in Ontario provincial poll
tics just now, aud upon II will depend the
result OF the next elections for tho local
