PASO DEL NOIITE , MEX. , January 25
I have ccon the soldiers of many lantla
and have soldiered a llltlo myaclf j I hnvo
seen the "Houziu" and the "Plou-piou"
of "In Belle Franco ; " 1 have soon the
corpa of pompiers , the solditr-firemen of
the same nation , vainly endeavoring to
quell the fire-fiend with haml-squirts that
would have driven even our volunteer
firemen crazy ; I have seen the pipe ,
uhank-walsted soldiers of Jt.ily ; the dull ,
heavy , bnt elophantlno'poworful war
riors of Germany , and the equally stolid ,
red-coated defenders of the eld lady who ,
on the British penny , seta on n boor bar
rel and ia ennui with a hey fork. All
theao are miliUry tjpea. They smell of
the barricks-room , and have a wholesome -
some contempt for the mere civilian
which in qulto refreshing. IIo , the afore
said civilian , ia a poor wretch who exists ,
lives , and makes money because the mil
itary element la always on hand to guard
him from extinction. Gerald Maajoy has
undo his EnglMi man-of-wor'a-man ' aptly
express the sentiment :
If wo cannot keep the sea , you lubbers ,
Your cent nor cent must stop ;
If wo cannot Keep the sea , yon lubbers ,
llow can you keep the shop ?
Of the confidence begot of thia feeling ,
Thercso was it not uied to sing :
llicn n'eat sacro pour un sapour.
And nothing wai sacred to sjpour , or tea
a soldier of Franco of any kind in those
grandly corrnpt days that preceded Sedan
and the fall of the Third Napoleon.
\Vo crocs the Atlantic and the typo of
the soldlor changes at onco. Ho is coin-
monplaco of the commonplace. Here In
the United States whatever admiration
the people have for the army ia associated
with the men who in the moment of the
nation's peril dropped the pen , the yard
stick and the spade for the saber and the
musket. They have none to waato on
the "Regular nrmy , oh , " in thoao piping
times of peace'and but llttlo on the mili
tia , whicn ia associated only too much In
the public mind with "fuss and feathers , "
feather-bed officers , bloodies ] bayonets ,
virgin sashes , and the mud and sllmo of
atato politicians.
MEXICAN MILITAUY ACCOUTKEMENT.S.
The soldlor holds almost as bid a posi
tion in the social scale as the actor dooa
in China , where his tank Is lowesfof all
other professions a pretty fair teat of
the culture of the peoplo. The same is
true of this land of "God nnd Liberty"
from which I write. Ono would aupposa
that when Cervantes wrote his "Don
Quixoto" ho not only sneered array the
chivalry of Spain , but its martial spirit
likewise , to judge by the appearance nnd
morals of the Mexican army , woco it not
that It requires a gigantic imagination to
connect the Mexican privates with the
descendants of Coronado and the seekers
for Oibola'a fabled cities ,
Some companies of the llth Mexican
cavalry nro stationed hero , and I have an
ample opportunity of studying the sol
diers of the republic at will. They are
all shades of color , from almost whlto tea
a dirty black. In nearly all the Indian
blood can bo distinctly traced , and in
many the typo is so strongly marked as
to dwarf all othora. The uniform
Is not handsome. It consists of
kind of heavy blouse made of
course black cloth , with red facings ,
and pants of the eamo material , and
fatigue cnpa similar to our own. The
men ass not measured foe their uniforms
nor anything olso. There are three
-izss of uniforms , and one of the throe
must fit. If it does not it does not mat-
tor , as the officers seem utterly indiffer
ent to the personal appearance of their
men. In foot gear the poor fellows are
worao ofl' than in anything else. The
government sorvea out brogans , , but I
notice many bravo defenders wearing old
moccasins In a atato of dilapidation that
wonld excite the contempt of a Papiigo
Indian. It Is chilly juat now in the
mornings and I observe that many of tbo
soldiers have colds in their heads , which
is very unforlnnato for them , as up to
data the republic has omitted to supply
them with pocket handkerchiefs.
TUB MEXICAN CAVALltY HOUSE
cannot by any stretch of fancy bo called
a noble otcod , IIo Is not a Tartar of the
Ukraiu breed , nor of any particular breed
to speak of. IIo Is mustang broncho at
that. Ills coat is rough , nnd judging
from its appearance I would argue that
the stable call is seldom
Bounded In the Eleventh cavalry. In
barrack hla ration of hay Is small and his
allowance of corn frequently n negative
qcantity , which mathematicians demon
strate is loss than nothing. In the field
ho lives oil' the face of the country , and
how ho continues to llvo where an Amor-
lean horse would starve Is an cquino mys
tery. Bat it Is the capacity of both man
and horsa to live on little aud bear hard
ship that makes the Mexican cavalry bet
ter Indian fighters than our own. To
Con. Torrasaa , of Mexico , la duo the ex
tinction of Victoria nnd hia band , who ,
for two years , plundered and murdsrod
the settlers on the forntler line of eouth-
orn Arizona and Now Mexico , and to
Gen. Guerra nnd Ool. Gallardos moro
than to Gen. Orook the extinction of the
bands of Nona , Ju and Bonito , and their
expulsion from the Sierra Madro. The
reason why our troops have made such
poor Indian fight era is explained in one
sentanco by Gen. Orook : "You can't
catch mosquitooB with a slx-mnlo team. "
Take the American horse. Hois a splen
did animal , selected with great care by a
board of army oilicers In Missouri or Cal
ifornia. Oftentimes ho is the beau ideal
of the war horse of scripture , and
worthy to live on the canvai of
a Horace Vornot. But ho Ia the
horse of the plains , not of the moun
tains ; of civilization , not of naturo. Like
his master ho must bo well fed and well
oared for. Ho muot have a dally ration
of grain and hay ; must bo combed and
rubbed down at lemt twice a day. If
there bo mud on hla fetlocks it must bo
carefully removed lost ho suffer from
"scratches , " and , finally , his habitual
pace must bo a walk nod hla exceptional
pace the trot or gallop. All thla moans a
large pack or wagon train , a fearful loss
of time , and the utter inability to catch
a foe who haa baen known to do sixty
miles in twenty-four hours on foot !
A 1I13A\V LOAD.
The weight the American cavalry
borse ia compelled to carry la enough to
almost literally make him stagger. IIo
carries saddle , saddle blanket , side lines
or hobbles , some 30 feet of thick
jplcquet rope , iron plcquet pin and ring ,
jantoou , blanket and overcoat of the
loiriler , raddle-be m , the carbine and the
eojdjer , together wi h hia two bolta iillod
with cartridges add hli revolver. The
wnndor IB , not that he covers to littla
ground , It Is rather that ho cov
ers to much. The Mexican
civnlrr hone has llttlo of this Impediment -
pediment to carry. A light hair lat at
tba * . can not bo eaten by cayotoj supplies
the place of' ' our heavy ptcquH rope and
pin , ho has neither side lines nor hob
bles , n poncho supplies the place of blank-
in , and nearly nil the weight on the
ono is thnt of the rider , his ntnmunl *
on and his simple field ratlin. As the
orao can llvo on anything thnt n burro
an , the long wagon or mule trsin la nn-
ocossary. No ono cave those who have
een tha Mexican hoisa on aorvlco can
roaglno the llttlo ho will llvo on and the
eng marches ho will make. Almost as
uro footed ixs a mule , ho will climb the
toopoat mountain-side , and finda to-
rcshmcnt and nourishment In the tough
nd wiry gramma g'ajs.
MEXICAN AAT10NS
re not fixed by the government , and bo-
mj hla own commlsinry ho has no com-
ilalnta to lodge against tlio deportment
f sitbsUtonco. Ho goto 30 cents per
loin and ho finds hlmeclf aa will aa his
lender pay will admit. In the field ho
Ives on plnola ( toasted corn ground to
ino ilour ) , ctmio scca ( jerked meat ) ,
ilnosho ( a kind of candy made from dlrly
> rowu sugar ) , with , ns a luxury ,
a few tortillas thrown In by his
wootheart or wifo. Strange aa it may
oem there nro men in the Mexican ntmy
who on 30 cents a day manage to "sup-
lort1' n wife nnd nn odd babe or two.
Sven Ilunry Ward Bccchor , the advocate
of a dollar a day for workingmou , never
dreamed of economy like this.
The plnola is maot and drink. Mixed
with water it makes n nourishing bever
age , having n slight acid Ihvor whlcl
makes it very ngronablo in the heat of r
somi-tropic sun. The plnoeho nnd tortilla -
tilla may bo looked upon aa a rough at
tornpt nt pnstry and dessert. In barracki
thh hard faro la varied by n little chile
con cirno , an nrticlo which , I sao by a
cent order of the secretary of war , hni
been , in my opinion , nnwleoly omittec
Psom the subsistence atoica or the Ameri
can ormy. On the Mexican frontier , OB
in all warm climates , the stomach nocds n
stimulant mu-h bettor supplied by chll
con carne thnu by the "cowboys' cordla
with n bite , " sold in and around our mil
[ tnry reservations.
A HAItl ) LIFE.
The lot of the Mexican soldier , llki
that of Gilbert's 'policeman , "is not i
happy ono" In the vnst majority o
cases ho is n criminal serving out a term
of imprisonment in the array. The nnl
form ho wears brings with it the ignom
iny of thn striped suit of the peniten
tiary. Liberty lisa none , except ii
cases of exceptionally good conduct , an <
ho ia guarded by hia non-comkslcnei
ollicoro nnd hla moro lucky comrade
during Iho few hours that ho IB allowct
to exercise or tnako his poor little pur
chasou cm the plaza. As in the ol <
slavery days there were found negroes i
careless of freedom that though they enjoyed
joyed the confidence of their masters
who allowed them opportunities to cm
brace it , they were proof against tempta
tlon , so there are soldicrsjln the barrack
hero who ara allowed at long intervals t
cross the El Paso , nnd who do not forgo
to come back. $ It fs needless to oay tha
the surplus cf thirty cents per diem
would go but n short way , If any on San
Antonio or El Paao directs , and it take
considerable saving to get enough for
good time on the other side. Whntovc
the sum may be , though , it goes fo
whisky or its equivalent , as it doe
among soldiers the world ovor.
When Mars , the mighty God of war ,
Did first of battles think.
Ho girt his sword upon hia thigh
And mixed a drop of drink.
These soldiers of Paso del Norto ar
the terror of the American bar-keeper , a
their idea of a drink is all the glass wi !
hold. For them ho provides a glass wit !
wonderfully thick bottom , massive side
and small capacity , or otherwise produce
the ready bottle of inspiring "all sorts.
They are quiet on those old trips to th
American side , are honest , paying for th
little they buy , and giving no trouble t
the police. 1 might think it was the aw
of imposing numbers of Gringos to wilic !
this was duo if I were not aware tha
their conduct as individuals is equall }
good on the bank of the river. Perhaj
the solution ii to bo found in the sever
discipline of the Mexican army.
MEXICAN DISCIPLINE.
In the old days when poor old Adinira
llyng of the British navy was shot for i
mistake , Voitairo sneered at the peopl
who killed Admiral "poor clientage ; le
antics" and laterEnglish cynics boastcc
that if the English sailors and soldier
could not bo beaten by the enemy , thci
country made it np for them a
homo. I do not know if the soldier o
Mexico , even now , would not be beater
abroad , but I do know thnt ho waibenten
at homo. The lash which stnmpa th
soldier 'ca a slave and degrades chtvahj
to the level of the ehnmbles fiouriihea
The state Is not put to much oxoenai
either when the laah is applied. There
is no parade of officers , no marshaling o
witnesses for and against the accused , n
Jud/o / Advocate , no dress sword-bolts , n
white gloves , none of all the "pomp
pride and circumstance of glorious war.1
A single officer sometimes gives judgment
mont , and in the words of Tlioma
O'Brien , "Tho dovll a much time he
allows for ropontonco. "
In all I have written of the Mexican
army I have had no Intention of hurtiu ;

WASHINGTON , D. 0. , January 31 ,
) no of the police ctlicera ot the capital ,
ccordlng to the Evening Star , tlijcoureed
a follows to-day regarding the queer
icoplo and oflicc-BEokors who nowadays
rcqitent the rotunda : "Hero comes the

noan Clovoland'e now steamboat inspoo-
or. IIo comes hero every day nnd tits

uat slta ntlll tlicro and watches the
olka RO by. The other day ho np.
reached one of Iho guides very conti-
lontlally and asked him to assist him in
lading out the dntica of n steamboat In-
pcctor. lie wanted to know something
about the position so aa to bo able ti
enter upon the duties as soon as np-
lointod. Ho sits there every day study.
ng the matter over.
LOTS OF OFFICE SEEKKUS.
"The crowd of visitors is unusually
argo for this time of ycer and Is getting
_ ror every day. Lota of them are
sightseers , brldco and grooms , etc. , but
n largo proportion of them are not
strangers. You can toll the stranger ,
pou know , and you can toll the ollico
Boekera. The latter outnumber the
others just now. Strangers and
sightseers generally got a guido to
show thorn about. They always
want to know heir high it is to the
canopy in the dome , when the capital
wai built , and who owns the pictures
around the walla. But , as I was sayingv
the larger part of the visitors hero now
nro after places under the now ndmiula-
tration. They are hero after the members
bors , laying their wires. They are
swarming in every day. Some ot them
wear boavcra and buttonhole the members
bors on every occasion. Some are seedy
and don't know anybody , but just all
hero and wait. They nro all after
places , " and with a sweep of his hand ho
took in the whole circle of sjats about
the rotunda , occupied by a motly crowd
of men , all wrapped in profound silence
if in deep thought.
TUIXKUIIS.
"They don't know just what they
want and have como hero to think it out.
They come every day. ] 'vogot to kumv
thorn all. They oay they are nil right
with the new administration , bat tha
throat trouble is to think out just whn
phce they'll take. Some of them
find that a poser ; but as soon as they
get stuck , and can't think just whai
they want , down they alt and begin to
think it nut. All the seats yonseo are full
They come early. Many are hero -when
the doors open. They are punctual
they make a matter of bnsinoss of it
When new ones come and all the scats
are taken they walk about disconsolately
When ono of them settles upon what ho
wants ho is just as delighted as if ho hac
received the appointment. Ho runs np
and tells the watchman and then hli
neighbors what ho is going to be , am
after that they give him his title. They
are then Mr. Inspector , Mr. Marshal
Mr. Collector , Mr. Auditor , etc. If two
Bottle upon the Eamo place thcro'o trouble
and they have to compromise the matter
and think over again.
LOOKING AT THE LADIES.
"But they aren't the only carious
ones , " ho added , as his eye wnndorot
nloug the lino. "See that fatherly-look
ing old man standing there to your loft
smiling at that lady. Well , you wouldi ) '
think it , would you ? No ; no ono would.
Ho comes hero for no oilier purpose bn
to admlro the pretty ladles who are al
ways pasting through the capitol to see
the sights. There are several of them
who come hoie for that purpose. They
always got hero before the throng of vis
itora begin to pass through. They take a
stand in the rotunda and feast their eyea
until evening. Lots of young bloods
como up to the capitol from time to time
to make mashes that fs what they cal"
them , ain't it ? But these old follows
como just like going to the theater anc
watch all the pretty woman pasj through
That old follow there ho is quite a dandy
you see gets so absorbed sometimes thai
when a group of ladles in which there is
a marked amount of boiuty passes ho
sometimes follows them around , koepiu < ,
a little behind. Wo have to etop this ,
though. Ladles might think It impu
dence , you know.
LOST AHTICLES.
"Thero are other folks who hang
around to find things. It would astonish
you the number of valuable things losl
by people passing through this rotunda.
The guides espocielly find n great many
things. Everything that IB found that
wo know of is turned over to the ser
geaut-at-arms of either the house or sen
ate to bo reclaimed. Ono of tlio guides
found a pocket-book the other day that
belonged to a friend of Representative
Wise of Virginia. It had in it a § 20 bill
and $800 in coupons besides some vulva
bio papers. He left $1 reward for tbo
finder. Pocket books are often found on
the benches whore they have worked oul
of the pockets of ladies sitting down.
Ladies' wraps , jewelry , money and lott
of things are found oven watches. 1
once picked up a gold watch on the floor
of the rotunda that a crowd of people had
walked over. It la strange how long a
thing will Ho on the floor , people walking
over it all the time without being picked
up-
ALL KINDS OF I'EOI'LE.
"But the bettor class of people who
stop hero in the rotunda nro those who
choose this aa a point of obcorvation to
see a variety of people. I guess , by sit
ting hero a little while , you can sec more
men of a national reputation pass through
from time to time , going from ono house
to the other and to tbo supreme court
than could bo aeon in any other place it
a lifetime.11
