Jui'ittus Donliointne dov.i not lovo Ida army ns John Hull loves Ills. John givci) ovations to his Holdiorti, showers decorations on their heads when they return home from it llttlo oxpetli lion that will enable him to publlsli n now tunp with otic tnoro llttlo cOrnor uuirked in red; but if bo yotM ton ptilv llo plao3of cnturtaintueiit, nnd meets n soldier in uniform there, nwny ho littr rics, cxclaltnliiB: "Tills place is not re spectable; soldiers nro admitted!" In the singular the warrior loses all his prestige. Very iliircront nro tho feelings of Jacques towards his army. Ho loves it in tho singular becuuso his boy belong., to it (every Frenchman hits to servo in the army). In the plural, howovor, It represents authority , and he is well nwnro that the army Is ready for mens u police foreo in case ho should over bo tempted to nialio bis voice heard too loudly in de manding n reform. This is why French soldiers in their ill Ileum t garrison towns ivoa lire apart, Tliey do not mix with the people, and have to put up with Coventry." Tho French unity is viewed through tunny spectacles. Tho Conservatives see in it tho preservers of order; tho Undl. cals it danger to tho liberties of tho na tion; tho League of tho Patriots call it tho hope of France. To the French Mary Jane it is tho repository of tender senti ments: to tho tradesman of tho garrison town, it tiourco of Ineomo. Hall giving ladies like it because it provides them witli dancers who nro ns ornamental ns useful, though tho olllcer's uniform is no longer tho gorgeous dress it was in my time, wlnm a lieutenant's full uniform cost from a half to it tvhola year's pay. French girls have it deep conviction tliat no man can malio lovo lil;o n young lieu tenant; but papa wns always apt lo frown on him, knowing that tills Romeo had generally more gold on his shoulders than in his waistcoat pocket, nnd that, according ti tho nrmy regulations, no ofileer might marry n, lady with less than IJO.OOO francs dot. But hero comes tho regiment. Let us open tho window and have it look at the "Children of France," us Dernngor called them. In front march tho sapeurs, with their long, bushy beards covering their chests. Look nt ouo and you will see them all. Sapeurs nro nil alike: to bo nblo to tell ouo from another is a proof of marvel ous perspicacity. Under tho umplro tho sapeur.i used to march with largo white leather aprons covering their chest nnd lego, hatchets over their shoulders and hugo busbies on their heads; and they Conned an imposing looking lody. Tho aprons nro now done away with, but the hatchets tiro retained. Most of tlto ofU cers' orderlie.i wero taken from this part of tho regiment, nnd it was a pleasant sight to see one of theso good fellows, who are mostly middle tiged, fatherly looking men, with hii apron on, lending about tho children of some married ofti cer, who inndo uso of him as a dry nurse (not so dry cither, for wo still say in Franco "to drink liko it sapeur"). Thesu big, kind, bearded nurses have always been favorites with their llttlo charges, and nro great nt telling Btories, long stories, ending in tho heroine's marrying ft general. Tho olllco of th sapeurs being to precedo tho regiment nnd clear away nil obstacles that could impedo its march, tho hatchet was ori ginally it very Important part of their acceutcrment. Hut in these days virgin forests nro not plentiful in Europe, tho high roads nre excellent, nnd tho colonel prefers to uso them: so that now the chief utility of the formidable tool Is to chop wood to mnke the pot boil. Next como the drummers and buglers, (low martial they took with their heads high, every head turned to tho right and every buglo parallel, making the air ro sound with their fanfares! Tlioy aro very popular witli tho soldiers. It b tho buglers who, with their stirring notes, cheer tho men when they show signs of (lagging on a loug, weary march. I luivo seen them nt tho foot of it steep hill, tired, perhaps, with hours of marching. "Sound tho charge." says tho colonel, and immediately, ns if by magic, tho limp legs nnd backs straighten, anil tho column of men step out bravely, singing to tho notes of tho buglo: II y a la gouttu a bolro la-lmut, UyaU gouttu a balm Tho summit of the hill reached, the goutte is dispensed by tho Cautlniere, and generally takes tho form of a small glass of brandy, which in timo of peace has to bo paid for at tho rate of a" penny tho glass. The bugler has no need to pull out his purse; every trooper is ready to treat him. Tltoso of tho men who have seen active servico can never forgot how those same notes that havo just cheered t'u'in tii the hill nerved them when they hud to charge tho enemy, nnd know that ill many n terrible battle, when the ene my's guns did their deadly work too well, ono or two r.urvivlng buglers havo brave ly cheered oil the diminished ranks to tho last, nnd perhaps turned the fortune of battle. Next to thn buglers comes the band The nppenrauce of thu bandsmen is not particularly martial; the uniform is n little bit neglige. Wo nro in tho pres ence of artistes now. Why tho trotnborfo should bo tho old est member of the baud I havo never been able to discover: but it isiv fact that ho is, nine times out of ten, n gray head ed, spectacled man, with it grave expres sion and three stripes on his sleeves. He feel the wei ;ht of iU responsibility. It is all very well for tho clarionet to take lifo lightly; if he plays a note a little Hut, It passes in the general hum of tho music without any tilmtsirou consequences; hut n wrong itoto from tho trombone is awful to think ofl So ho looks neither to right nor left, nnd never loses sight of his ma jestic Instrument, As n man who only plays accompaniments, tho trombone is modest, nnd seems to npologlr.o for tho noiso ho makes. Tho cornet plays solos, nnd tho up plauso ho has won from tho public In tho place d'armea has mndo him vnln. Hold ing his Instrument in tho nlr, ho is not only seen nnd heard, but can see tho ef fect ho produces. Ho is young nnd good looking, waxes his mustache nnd I n perfect lady killer. Cornet plnyers, liko tenors, nro conceited. Tho fluto Is reserved. Tho hnblt of easting down his eyes on his tiny Instru ment lias itiiidu him bashful, Tho clarionet is n picture of misery. With head bent down, ho looks liko u plnlnttvo philosopher giving utternneotu ills sad views of life, Tho masher of tho band Is tho hauthol. His unifotm is unimpeachable, and mora than mice tho colonel has frowned on him' for showing too much white collar. Ho gives private lessons in town. Tho ophicleldo Is funereal, His general expression It ouo of solemnity. Tho only time his face lights up nt nil is when ho has to play tho "Prayer of Moses" ns it nolo. That Is his triumph, Tho ImudmnMcr ranks with tho quar termaster. In his numerous leisure hours ho composes variations on tho principal airs of "William Tell" nnd "Norma" n thankless task, seeing that theso airs of Rossini and Helllui nro good enough for most people in their original form. Hut it is ids prido to hco his name on it pro gram mo in company with these great ones, nnd so ho works uway nt his "Airs from 'William Tell,' arranged (deranged?) by N , bandmaster of tho rorty-seo- ond Light Foot." Just its ovcry English chomist has composed n special tooth powder, every French bandmaster hns composed mi arrangement of "William Tell." Hero comes the colonel on horseback. Ho looks sad and careworn. No won der, exclaims Jules Norlau, three thou sand men to manage, nnd tho variations on "Willlnm Toll" to hear ovory day at dinner. I pass over tho lieutenant 'colonel und tho chief of squadron to have the plea euro of introducing to you n few subal terns, the non-commissioned oillccrs, nnd tho French Tommy Atkins, who is culled "Pitou" by his compatriots. The married ofllcer keeps to himself, und does his best to keep Ids wife at homo. French susceptibilities, in bar racks especially, nro soon wounded, nnd lie wants to avoid the possibility of quar rels that might arise from tho dear ladies' tnttle. He does wool work in his spare moments, and looks forward to the time when he will bo nble to retire on Ills pension. Ho is it pcuco loving man. In the army matrimony is tho gravo of glory. Tho serious ofllcer Is the ouo who looks for promotion. lie is a soldier by pro fession nnd by vocation. Ho studies tactics and military history, and prac tices fencing, shooting at targets, swim ming nnd till uthletio siorts. Ho lias the campaigns of Napoleon nt Ills lingers' ends. You will always see him poring over maps. Ho studies geography ami tho German language. Ho Is of opinion that when the. French can nil speak Ger man, the Prussians will have a hard time. Tho olllccr of foituno is tlioono who lias not got any and runs into debt. Uivo him a wide berth; lie is the bully of tho regiment, very quick to take of fense, und ovcrticklish on tho point cf honor. The oiTber who has risen from tho ranks is very popular with tho soldiers, whose wants ho knows much better than do tho young lieutenants fresh from tho military school. His messmates say "ho is not a gentleman." Ho is, howovor, a good soldier and a trusty, straightfor ward man. It is truo that his manners nro not rellned. Ho can speak very fair French, but prefers bad language, and pan swear for quarter of uu hour with out using tho same oath twice. I remember, during tho Franco-Prussian war, I happened to bo quartered for a day In an aristocratic household in Lorraine with n lieutenant of this type. Trembling at the thought of my worthy friend's unruly member, 1 seated myself nt our host's dinner tublo. All went well until thn conversation unluckily fell upon military inarches, when tho lady of tho house wanted to know. whether tho feet did not suffer very much with such u quantity of walking to do overy day in tho hot weather. "I'll tell you what, ma'am," said ho, "you must never wash tho feet. I nover do. Ureaso them well with tallow nnd thoy'll bo nil right." Tho lady wished slio had not spoken. Later on there was it whist party formed li tho drawing room, nnd my comrade was asked if he would mako a fourth nt u little table where three old whibt players wero already seated, ready to enjoy their favorito gamo. "With pleusure, I'm sure," said ho, comfortably Installing himself In tho empty chair "only I must tell you I nover played before." Tho face of thoold gentlemun opposite, ns ho looked nt him over Ills spectacles, wns it study. The Bcrgeant mujor is pretentious. He will tell you that if ho wero a civilian lie could occupy it position that very few ofllcers would bo ahlo to fill. When lie retires to private lifo ho Ixxists of having been it sergeant major. Tho corporal, to be seen In till his glory, must be studied when ho has a written report to make to the colonel. Ho is n good fellow, who rules four men, and dclles till rules of grammar. His spelling is phonetic: yet lie loves loug words, und his reports bristle with such words ns nevertheless, notwithstanding. Ho Is regarded by his four men us tin au thority on elegant diction. A private may bu able to spell, but u corjKiral never such is the deep rooted ladief of nil French ofllcers. I wus present one day when n corporal came to the doctor with ouo of his men who was unlit for the saddle. The doctor examined him and found him suffering from rheumatism. Tho corporal proceeded to till tin tho requlslto form for tho man's ndmlsslon to tho nearest military hospital. "Cnn you spell rheumatism, corporal?" said tho doctor. "I think I can, doctor, thank you," re plied ho, saluting, That corporal wan Louis Cootloyon, ono of tho lending journalists of Paris, who had volunteered soon after tho out break of tho war. Wo had n good laugh over tho Incident when I told tho doctor of his blunder. "What business hits ho to bo a corporal If ho can shI1?" exclaimed tho surgeon, who was it llttlo hit sorry for whnt had happened, l'ltoti serves his country for tho mod est Htiln of two sous it day. He receives ouo sou cash, und tho other is placed to his credit until his term of service Is over, when hu Is presented with it sum representing ns many sous, plus Interest, as ho has spent days In tho nrmy. Of courso his pay is not often his only source of revenue. Many soldiers work nt some trado inside tho barrack, and those who come from tho middle clnsses nro well supplied with ixicket money from home even the peasant's sou is suro to receive a little help ovcry month. no rises ui o in tnu morning, and as there is no food served heforu 8, ho goes straight to the canteen und has his petit verro (a tublespoonful of brandy). He tosses it nt ouo draught, drains tho dregs out in his palms and touches up his hnlr with It. Great fraternity prevails in tho bar racks. If there aro any empty iiockcts, their owners nro not allowed to go short. He who received it llttlo postolllco order yesterday Is always ready to pay. The poor fellow who has nothing hut his sou n day is never left out either, und not ouo of his comrades who treat him would think of alluding to his inability to re turn their kindness. Ho is drilled eight hours it day. At 8 it. m. nnd 4 p. m. hu has his gamello containing it piece of beef, cooked nnd served In it good, thick soup of vegetables. Tills savory nnd nourishing repast is eaten with bread, und forms IiIb only food in timo of peace. How often during the war, when tho ofllcer's dinner wns but n dream, havo I relished n dish of this uppeliziug com pound brought mo by my good orderly! I cannot relnto hero tho thousands of jokes that tho barracks have furnished, and will always furnish, to tho French comlo papers. Hut I cannot refrain from mentioning tho curious fact that ouo finds Hlberninnlsm common ninong tho ranks, while not to bo found elsowhero in France. I remember ouo hull that Paddy might bo proud to havo perpe trated. Pitou, ordered by a coriraral to dig a pit and bury a quantity of rubbish from tho yard, is In trouble. Ho has per formed his task, but there is no room in tho pit for all tho mold which was dug out to mnke it; so ho comes to his cor poral to ask whut ho shall do. "You fool," said tho corporal magnifi cently, "mako tho pit larger, of courso." In war timo tho French soldier is ad mirable. The good humor with which lie goes through tho grcutest hardships is simply wonderful. If the provisions are not nt hand ho breakfasts off n joko or a song. Tho only thing that puts him out is to get short weight when tho ra tions of bread, rice, coffee, sugar and salt nro scrvod out. Ho always goes straightway and weighs them, to mako suro ho lias his duo, und if there is a de ficiency of tho tcntli of an ounce ho will grumblo nil day; but If his rations nro right, he is right, ready for anything tho day may bring, merry ns a lark. His philosophical way of taking tho inovitu ulo, nnd putting a good fnco on personal misfortuuo, is proverbial. At tho battlo of Worth one of my men had his right bund completely shot nwny by a shell. Seeing tho poor fellow look at hfo maimed arm as ho was being carried away, I went to him nnd gavo him a word of sympathy. "Ay, raon lieutenant," ho cried, "I shall havo to learn to mako cigarettes with ono hand!" Tho wholo character of tho French sol dier is there. To lte Continued.
