usually hope to occupy. The former s
 brilliant record with the English, Chilli
 an, Brazilian and Greek navies in turn
 is probably unique, though Paul Jones
 may be set down as bad second. The
 ex-apprentice of a Whitehaven, collier,
 who was the most successful American
 naval officer in the War of Independ nee
 and held commander thereafter in the
 French. and then in the Russian Navy
 s not the heroic figure which modern
 eulogists in the United States like to
 picture, but he was a fine seaman and
 a gallant fighter. In fact, he was the
 typical soldier of fortune (for the acci-
 dent that the fought at sea does not
 rob him of his place in that gallery.)
 The revolutionary wars of the Contin-
 ent have naturally attracted many of
 these adventurers. Count Ilinski was a
 Pole who fought the Russians in his
 native land, and when all was lost took
 service under Schmayl, Prince of Cir
 cassia. The Hungarian War of 1nde-
 pendence in 184S, next employed his des-
 perate valor, and at Temeswar he had
 three horses killed under him. Finally
 he became colonel of Turkish cuiras-
 ser regiment, and was known as Iskan-
 der Bey. In the Hungarian Revolt, Gen.
 Guyon, an Englishman, was famous
 figure, and at Tyrnau he held his ground
 until he had lost three-fourths of his
 battalion and the village streets were
 streaming with blood. A less attractive personality Is Gen. Cluseret, who served
 as a Captain in the French Army in Algeria, then under Fremont, in the American Civil War; was next Fenian General" and then War Minister under the Commune. Dombrowski another
 General and in the Commune and
 far abler and braver man than the ex- Fenian, had fought in Poland and under Garibaldi He was killed at the barrl- cades in 1871. Among Continental fore es of aliens one ought to mention the French Legion, which still includes the runaway aristocrats and broken men of half Europe, and the Irish Brigade which fought for the Pope in 1860 un- der the command of Major Myles O Reilly, M. F. An old soldier of the Pap al zouaves, another Irishman, is now Gen. Coppinger of the United States Army. Garibaldi himself is of course entitled to a niche in this gallery of fame, and his son Ricciotti has since his Italian campaigns fought for France in 1870 and for Greece in 1897, in both bravely fighting for a lost cause.
 The New World offers us condottieri ! of a new type, like Walker the filibuster, who became Dictator of Nicaragua and might have ruled Honduras but for a British man-o'war Gen. Carroll Teviss, who served in the Franco-Prussian war and good many South American was a Fenian hero So was Capt. John McAfferty who served in . the Mexican War of 1855 and was then as officer in the Confederate Army. | He was in all the Fenian plots of 1S66-7, f and was twice tried here for treason felony. He was acquitted at one trial, { and amnestied after the second, leni- ency which he repaid by renewed ac- tivty in the ranks of the Clan-na Gael. He was said to be the real NO. l." be- hind the Phoenix Park murders.
 Egypt has employed many aliens. Muzinger Bey was a Swiss who had < been British Consul at Massowah; Gessi Pasha, an Italian who. after serving as interpreter to the English Army in the Srmea, became Gordons lieutenant in he Soudan, and smashed the slave lunter's revolt in Darfur Loring Pasha vas an American soldier; Lupton Bey, Governor of the Bahr-el- -Gazel, who lied in the Mahdi's dungeons, an Eng lshman. Slatin and Emin were both Austrians.
 In more recent years we have had l, len Holmes, an ex-major in the Ger nan Army who landed a cargo of Iannlicher rifles for the Chilian con- drilled their troops, and efated Balmaceda. Gen. Ronald Me- { ver Scotsman who has served under 1 ' ourteen flags from the Confederate to he Carlist, is another roaming Brit $ n, like Kaid Maclean. an ex-lieutenant I ] our service, who Is now commander of he army of the Sultan of Morocco. { len. Digby Willoughby. who command d dn blue and silver) the Hova army, as since fought for the Chartered I Company in Rhodesla, but has now urned to the arts of peace.-Pall Mall Iazette.
