PROMOTED THE KING.

Italian Zouaves Once Voted to Make
Their Ruler Corporal.
During the battle of Palaestro, in
1859, the Austrians in three columns
attacked the Piedmontese in order to
throw them back across the Sesia. The
right and center columns were repuls-
ed, but the left continued to advance
and threatened danger. At that mo.
ment the Third zouaves, led by Colonel
Chabran and obeying the orders of Vic
tor Emmanuel H.. attacked the Aus
trians with the bayonet, threw the en-
emy back across the bridge over the
Sesia and drowned many Of them in
the Sasetta canal
In this memorable battle the king
was constantly In the fiercest of the
fight. The zouaves were enchanted
with his prowess, and in the evening
sergeant of the regiment proposed
that they should send a congratulatory
address to his majesty.
Let's raise him to the rank Of cor
poral." suggested one. which proposi-
ton was unanimously adopted. The
scholar of the company thereupon set
down in his finest calligraphy:
by the wish of the Third regiment
of zouaves Victor Emmanuel, by trade
king of Sardinia, is appointed unani-
mously a corporal In the said regi-
ment."
Then. while the wish was hot, n
deputation Of corporals and men went
to Castle Torione. where the king was
staying. The deputation was announc-
cd The king was pleased to receive 1t
ut once, Notwithstanding the fact that
he was iii his shirt sleeves He was
greatly moved by the token of admira-
tion. pressed the stripes to his heart
and conveyed his thanks In such terms
that the zouaves, in delirium of joy,
cheered him as IL they would never
stop, and in taking their leave one and
all embraced their newly appointed
rporal.-Pearson's

WHO marked
|naWheat AS Result Of Canadian
Commandment of Mil
lions Of Bushels.

y CHICAGO. Nov. 29-Canadian
Communicating of millions OF
bushels Of wheat brought about an
excited rush Of buying here today
and caused a decided up turn In
prices. The market, however, as a
whole, did not prove asiwild as many
traders had expected and the id
vances were moderate compared with
what had previously been witnessed
many times since the beginning OF
the war. notwithstanding that the
Canadian sizures OF wheat were gen
orally accepted as emphasizing Eu-
ropean need for wheat the bulls here
were restrained by fears expressed
that no increase Of export demand
from the United States would follow,
especially while ocean vessels were
being largely monopolized by the
British government to carry ship
ments from Canada.
