I HE follovring ex-
'citing story of the
French campaign
in Mexicoi« trans
lated and adapted
from the German
of Th. Gaudert, a
commander of tiic*;
Zouaves.
Napoleon « e n t j
the unfortunate
Maxi mi dan a bfit
talion of Soudan
negroes, which
had been present
ed him by the vice
roy of Egypt, Le
mael Pasha. Through the force of destiny
and a deaire to enjoy the wild sport of the
campaign in Mexico I received command
of the first company of the Kso ptinus. and
today my heart lieats higher \% hen I recall
to mind those dusky savage comrades,
whom I had the honor to lead from Octo
ber, 1864, to the end of 1866, with whom 1
shared joy and suffering, and who, obedient
and faithful ns a dog, brave and dauntless
as the lion of their native wild, freely haz
arded their lives to save that of the
“Sahib,” or master. They were without
exception six footers, of massive build, and
appeared to advantage in their white uni
form, with ml turban and green sash. 1
exacted the most implicit,slavish obedience,
and to this end insisted that the pay and
sufaaiatence of the men be lit feral and
punctual. As a result of my action the sol
diers were united to me by the strongest
ties of trust and dependence, becoming as
wax in my hand, blindly following w here
I led; yes, they kis»ed my hands and shoes
even when, as unbending discipline often
demanded, I set my feet upon their necks.
I had absolute control of my company of
M men ami the power of life and death
over each one. Only once was 1 obliged to
exercise the extreme rights of punishment.
That was one night when I returned from
an absence unexpectedly, and nearing camp
heard a most unearthly howl in the corral
where my people lay. Hurrying forward,
with my revolver ready cocked, I distin
guished a strange jumble of white stock
ings and white eyes, and among them two
ml legs, that uow r whirled through the air
and now disappeared in the black and
white mass beneath. I fired in the air, and
before my footsteps and the flash of my
sword the pile burst apart. On the earth
lay one of my French subordinates dead,
with his abdomen completely slit open.
Over anotiner prostrate European knelt a
gigantic African, endeavoring with a drawn
knife to pry open the tightly closer! teeth
of the fallen man for the purpose, as J
learned afterward, of cutting out his
tongue. As I tore the bloodhound from
his ready prey he sprang upon me. Ini;
moment a shot‘from my pistol struck him
on the forehead over the right eye, and
■irnuitaneouHly another assailant was dash
ed to the ground by a powerful blow from
my sword handle, if my skull hud re
ceived that stroke it would have cracked
like an egg shell, but he only fell on hi>
knee, crossed his arms over his breast, and
with his tongue half bitten through and
bleeding, licked my boots. The cause of
the outbreak was »u insult offered by the
frivolous Frenchmen to the religious Mo
hammed. One had atoned with his death
aud the other was reduced to the ranks.
The riotous negroes were placed in a sitting
position on the ground, their wrists bound
together underneath their knees with gun
straps. Between the arms and legs below
a musket was placed, ami another acros>
the back of the neck, aud the two muskets
were drawn as close ns possible at the but br
and near the muzzles by tightly laced
straps. These formless heaps of com
pressed humanity 1 allowed to remain sc
twenty-four hours, and stationed guank
at hand with strict orders to shoot down
any who attempted to give the culprits so
much as a drink of water. 1 carried out
this barbarous punishment to the end, al
though my heart reproached me, but J
never had cause to repeat it. Ten \v«*ek>
before this occurrence I had been blowr
into the air by a mine explosion with HOoi
my men, and came out with only 8. The
fellows knew by this and former ex perl
euecs that I did not spare myself and wu*
a stranger to fear.
Four days alter this horrible yet neees'
wiry act of discipline in the bloody street
light at Catorze, where the Zouaves, num
bering 260 against 2,(XX) Mexicans, made
booty of a million piasters, eighteen of my
blacks were literally hewn to pieces before
the enemy succeeded in reaching my body,
which the braves held sacred. When at
length I recovered oonsciouanesa—for even
f threw m’yscir with a hundred men—tb«
others having fallen—against a regiment.
tn order to shield Miramou and «n navi
what was do longer to lie save I. Like •
wedge my gallant fellows drove their foam
iug steeds into the mass of the enemy'*
riders, carrying death and destruction oc
the points of their swords and receiving
death and destruction in return. Sabered
and stabbed by sword and lance, ami trod
den under the hoofs of a thousand horses
the brave troop sank, buying with theii
heart’s blood a free road for the fleeing
general.
My horse was shot under me and two oi
my blacks were trampled to pieces befor*
my eyes in efforts to rescue me. Sever
blacks still remained by me, and these conic
have saved themselves by leaving me in my
plight. One of them had a saber cut acroa*
the face, aud another carried the broker
point of a spear in his breast. I myself
tinwostoded until now, received a shot it
the left shoulder that had been aimed ai
my head, but failed of the mark because o;
a push from one of my’ negroes. The shot
had been given “in sport” by a Mexican of

In November, 1866, t he seat of the Mexi !
can republic was at Zacatecas^ and the iui !
perial general, Miramou, previously presi ■
dent of Mexico, but at this time a brave |
aud zealous supporter of Maximilian, hast
ened with a small force from the City of j
Mexico, marching through Queretaro and |
recruiting on the way. 1 was at Queretaro {
with the remnant of my blacks awaiting :
orders. Miramou had heanl of the storm I
ing by the Egyptians at Oaxaca, ami also i
of their exploit at Catorze, and in cause I
queuce be imulo me commander of his hotly i
guard, numbering about seventy men aud !
comprising loyal Mexicans, several Ger )

had meanwhile been well mounted and 1
soon commanded 120 men on splendid

Appetite a Guotl Doctor.
When the health is fairly gtxxl, and
there is no special strain to be put ujion
the Hystem, the normal appetite may be
trusted to indicate the kind and qnantity
of food necessary to maintain that con
dition. Natnrally the appetite varies
with the changing seasons, and unless it
indicates an unreasonable extreme of in
dulgence or abstinence no attention
need bo paid to any other monitor.
Much harm is done by injudicious or
meddlesome friends suggesting that a
person is too stoat or too thin, too pale
or too rodd;, ami senons disturbances
of the system often follow the mischier
oils advice to take some bitters or pills
or refrain from fattening food or drink.
Paying attention to any of these fads is
like playing with fire. If you are ill
enough to seem to warrant any radical
change of diet or any application oi
medicine, consult your physician at once.
Above all, avoid quack medicines. To
ose the opinion of a successful dealer in
them, whose bank balance is more liberal
than his conscience, they are “made to
seU.”—Harper's Bazar.

Were satisfied with their assurance because it furnished protection, and gave
them suffieient peace of mind to offset the bordeuof the continuing annual
premiums on their policies, they would be no more than reasonable assertions.
Hut this satisfaction is something more than this: It is the gratification of men
who have, over aud above the protection from the assurance, kkalieau on a
profitable investment. They have reason to be satisfied. For twenty years
they have been building up their business and accumulating fortunes, and
meanwhile their families and estates have boen protected against the disaster
which would have come, if through some accident they had died prematurely.
But these dangers have now been passed, and w hat is tbe result? Must they

joyed the protection of our assuraiwc, and .ire satisfied that our money has
been well spent: we hare nothing more to expect, unit hare nothing further to

more than this, thus: “ lie are more than sa tisfled. because, in addition to the

good INVESTMENTS, as Uprated by the fact thai the. Equitable has returned
