TWO FAMOUS FRENCH CORPS.
A Contest of Nerve Between tn
Z0uaves and the Chasseurs.

A Contest of Nerve Between the
zouaves and the Chasseurs.
A famous corps, says writer in Chums,
ia that Of the French zouaves, whose pic
turesque uniform, consisting Of baggy red
trousers, short, blue braided jacket, gal.
ters and close fitting cap "a sort Of fey has
been seen In many great battles. The
Eouavss gained their richest laurels during
the Cnmean war, at which time the corps
although supposed only to consist Of
Frenohmen, had attracted to its ranks
many young men Of other nations-Eng-
lish, Scotch, Irish, Germans and Italians.
Many of these, no doubt, were soldiers Of
fortune, anxious to serve in body the
fame Of which was worldwide.
But France was not to enjoy the monop.
oily Of zouave corps, for some ten years
later, when the American civil war broke
out, two bodies Of American souaves were
formed, one by the Federals, the other by
the Confsderates. They were uniformed
much after the French style and gained
great reputation for dash and courage.
This was particularly the case with the
Confederate zouaves, who were known as
the Louisiana Tigers.
When the French zouaves were serving
in Africa, they had one day to perform q
long and terrible march in the blistering
sun. The ohasseurs pied, corps Of "a
nous marohers, were with them, but the
soldiers Of both corps were ready to sink
with hunger, thirst and exhaustion. To-
ward evening they arrived at a town, and
the colonel Of the ohasseurs appealed to
his men to enter the place in style
worthy Of French soldiers.
The mon responded bravely, and with
bugles sounding they marched in with q
Light, springy step, looking as little -
possible like men who were half dead with
fatigue. This was too much for the
souAves They had suffered, II possible,
worse than the chasseurs, but at the COM
mand Of their colonel they hraoed them
selves up and, although ready to drop, en-.
tered the town on the run, swinging their
muskets round their heads, that bsing an
evolution Of the zouavs drill. They had
"gone one better" than the chasseurs.

SAMPSON LAUDS THE GUNNERs.

Did Not Write Dispatch ''VictOry Of
Fleet Under My Command"
New York, March 1s.-Rear Admiral
Sampson has contributed a chapter to
the book with Sampson Through the
War" just issued by w. A. M. Goode,
press correspondent on the flagship New
York during the war. In this chapter
Admiral Sampson gives the first express
sion of his opinion upon the destruction
Of Cervera's feet He holds that the VIC
tory. over Cervera is not entirely &C.
counted for by the superiority of the
American force, and he is inclined to be-
ieve that it was due more to excellent
craftsmanship Of our gunners than to
anything else.
IF the war teaches one lesson more
important than another" says Sampson,
ut is to dispense with all wood in the
future construction Of our ships. Not
particle of 1t should be permitted where
it Is possible to avoid its use."
Regarding the strategy of Cervera
Sampson is Of the opinion that had the
Spanish admiral come out during tho
evening, making his departure to coin.
eide with passing storm, he would
have had a good chance to save one or
more of his vessels.
The author, speaking Of the reports
turned in by the various officers after
the destruction of Cervera's feet, says
the account of the battle submitted by
Rear Admiral Schley contradicted in
various details those sent in by the bat.
tleship captains. The attention of Samp.
son was drawn to the discrepancies.
"Oh, WELL" he said, what does II
matter? The battle was won. So what's
the use of bothering."
However, Sampson finally decided to
send for Schley, and the result was that
the latter Withdrew his original report
and submitted the one known to the pub
lie.
The author states that the famous dis.
patch beginning 1.-THE feet under my
command" and announcing the victory
of July 8, although signed by Sampson,
was not written by him.

. SPEECH BY ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

An odd book recently published, called
THE Funny Side of Politics." contains
many political anecdotes and humorous ex-
tracts from speeches delivered in Congress
or elsewhere. Among others is an extract
from a speech delivered in Congress by
Abraham Lincoln, July q, 1as. The speech
was in reply to one delivered by Alfred
Iverson, a member from Georgia, a few
days before. Both were regular campaign
speeches and had no peculiar bearing on
any question before the House. Mr.. liver
son, a Democrat. had satirized the Wing
party and spoken of Henry Clay as having
been "ungratefully cast off, like a broken
down, wornout horse, turned out on the
common to die" He had also charged the
Wings with having .skulked behind the
back of a great man. and, like little chill
dren, attempted to steal into power under
the great tail of his military coat" This
allusion was to General Taylor, who had
been nominated for President by the Wings.
The Georgian continued at some length in
the same vein and in a style which, besides
being very pointless. would be called very
Icor wit nowadays. A few days afterwards
Mr.. Lincoln replied to this speech In much
the same vein. The subject before the
House was the presidential question.
though why it should have been there would
be difficult to say. Mr.. Lincoln said:
The other day one of the gentlemen from
Georgia, an eloquent man and a man OF
learning. as far as 1 can judge. not being
learned myself, came down upon us aston
ishingly. He spoke in what the Baltimore
m a.. On and nrffhDrlnO
style" AT the end of his second severe
flash I was struck blind, and found my
self feeling with my fingers for an assur-
A little of the bone was left and / grad
ually revived. He eulogized Mr.. Clay in
high and beautiful terms. and then declared
that we had deserted all our principles and
had turned Henry Clay out, like an old
horse, TO root. This Is terribly severe. II
cannot be nswered by arguments, at least
ask the gentleman II the Wings are the
only party he can think OF who sometimes
turn old horses out 10 root? Is not a GER
tain Martin Van Buren, an old horse which
your own party have turned out TO root?
After treating the ~'old -hor question in
this vein a little while the speaker took
up the charge that the Wing party had
taken shelter under General Taylor's mill
tary coat tail. In reply he called attention
10 the fact that the Democratic party had
run the last five presidential races under
the ample military coat tail of General
Jackson. and were now running the sixth
under the same cover. Yes. sir" he con-
tinued. that coat tail was used. not only
for General Jackson himself. but has been
chung TO with the grip OF death by every
Democratic candidate since. You have never
v%entured, and dare not now venture from
under II. Like a horde OF hungry ticks you
have stuck TO the tail OF the Hermitage
lion to the end of his life. and you are still
sticking to It and drawing a loathsome sus-
tenance from It after he is dead. A fellow
once advertised that he had made a dis
