Soldierly Slouches—mexican Cavalry Horses va, American—~How to Fight Indians—A Hara Lite, Cor. St. Louis Globe 1)emocrat, Paso per Nowre, Mex., January 25 I have eeen the soldiers of many lands and have soldiered a little myself; I have seen the “Zouzou’ and the *Piou-pioun’ of “La I France;” 1 have seen the corps of pompiors, the soldicr-firemen of the same nation, valnly endeavoring tc quell the fire-fiend with hand.squirts that would bave driven even our volunteer firemen crazg; I have seen the pipe, shank-waisted soldiers of Italy; the dull, Feavy, bot claphantine-powerful war- tlors of Gernany, and the equally stolid, red-coated defonders of the cld lady who, on the Britieli penny, sets on a beer bar- rel and is ermed with & hay fork, All theee are military types. They emell of the barracks-room, and have a whole: somo contempt for the mere civillan which is quite refreshing. He, the afore: said civilian, is & poor wretch who exlsts, lives, and mskes money because the mil- itary element is always on hand to guard him from extinction, Gerald Massey has made his Engli-h man-of-war's-man aptly express the sentiment: ground, it Is ers o rather that he mush. The Mexican aalr7 horse has little of this im- pediment to carry, A light hair latiat tha can not be eaten Ly cayotes suppliet the place of our heavy plequst 1 and pin, he has neither side lines n. b bles, a poncho supplics the place of blank ete, and nearly all the welght on the herse is that of the rider, his ammuni. tion and his simple field ratain, As the horse can live on anything that a burro can, the lcng wagon or mule train {s on: necessary, 10 save those who have scen the Mexlcan horss on service can imaginc the little he will live on and the long marches he will make. ~ Almost as sure footed as a mule, he will cllmb the steepest mountain-side, and finda ro- freshment and nourishment in the tough and wiry gramma grass. AN MENIC RATIONS are not fixed by the government. and be- ing his own commiseary he has no com plaints to lodge against the department of subslstence. He gota 30 cents per diem and he finds himeelf as well as his slender pay will admit. In the field he lives on pinola (toasted corn ground to fine flour), carne seca (jerked meat), plnoche (a kind of candy made from dirty brown sugar), with, as a luxory, a few tortillas thrown In by his sweetheart or wife. Strange as it may seem there are men in the Mexican atmy who on 30 cents a day manage to ‘“‘sup- port” a wife and an odd babe or two. Even Henry Ward Beecher, the advocate of a dollar a day for workingmen, never dreamed of economy like this, The pincla is maat and drivk, Mixed 1f we cannot the sea, you lubbers, Your cent per cent must stop; If we cannot keep the sea, you lubbers, How can you keep the shop? OF the confldence begot of this feeling, Thercse—was it not—used to sing: Rien n'est sacre pour un sapeur, And nothing was sacred to sapeur, or to a soldier of France of any kind in those grandly corrupt days that preceded Sedan and the fall of the Third Napoleon. We cros the Atlantic and the type of the goldler changes at once. Ho is com- monplace of the commonplace. Here in the United States whatever admiration the people have for the army is asscciated with the men who in the moment of the nation’s pertl dropped the pen, the yard. stick and the spade for the saber and the musket. They have none to waste on the *‘Regular army, oh,” in these piping times of peace,’and but little on the mili- tia, which is assoclated only too much fn the public mind with *‘fuss and feathers,” featner-bed officera, bloodless bayonets, virgin sashes, and the mud and slime of state politicians, MEXICAN MILITARY ACCOUTREMENTS, The soldier holds almost as bad a posi- tion in the social scale as the actor does in China, where his rank is lowest*of all other professions—a pretty fair test of the culture of the people. The same is true of this land of “‘Giod and Liberty” One would supposs that when Cervantes wrote his ‘“‘Don Quixote” he not only sueered away the chivalry of Spain, but its martial spirit likewlse, to judge by the appearance and morals of the Mexican army, were it not that it requires a gigantic imagination to connect the Mexican privates with the descendants of Coronado and the seekers for Cibola’s fabled clties, Some companies of the 11th Mexican cavalry are stationed here, and I have an ample opportunity of studying the sol- diers of the republic at will. They are all shades of coler, from almost white to a dirty black. In nearly all the Indian blood” can be distinetly traced, and in many the type is so strongly marked as to dwarf all others. The uniform is not handsome. It consists of a kind of heavy blouse made of course black cloth, with red facings, and ponts of the eame material, and fatigae caps similar to our own. The men axe not messured for their uniforms nor anything else. There are three eiz2s of uniforms, and one of the three must fit. 1f it does not it does not mat- ter, a the officers seem utterly indiffor ent to the personal appearance of their men. la foot gear the poor fellows are worse off then in anything else. The government serves out brogans,, but 1 notico many brave defenders wearing old moccasing in a state of dilapldation that would excite tho contempt of a Papiigo lndian. 1t is chilly just now in the mornings and 1 observe that many of the soldiers have colds in their heads, which is very unforlunate for them, as up to date the republic has omitted to supply them with pocket handkerchiefs, THE MEXICAN CAVALRY HORSE cannot by any stretch of fancy be called a noble steed, Heis not a Tartar of the Ukrain breed, nor of any parlicular braed to speak of. Ho is mustang—broncho at with water it makes a nourishing bever- ege, having a slight acid flavor which makes it very agresablo fn {hs heat of & semi-tropic sun. The plnoche and tor- tilla may be looked upon as a rough at- torupt at prstry and desscrt, In barracks this hard fare is varled by a little chile con carne, an article which, I see by a cont order of the secrefary of war, has been, in my opinion, unwlecly omitted feom the subsisterca atores or the Ameri- can srmy. On the Mexican frontler, ag in all warm climates, the stomach needs a stimulant mu-h better supplied by chila con carne than by the “cowhoys’ cordial with a bite,"” sold in &nd around our mil- itary reservations. A HARD LIFE, The lot of the Mexlcan soldier, like that of Gilbert’s *policeman, “‘ls not a happy one” Tn the vast majority of cages he is a criminal serving out a term of imprisonment in the army. The uni- form he wears brings with it the fgnom- iny of the striped suit of the peniton- tiary, Liberty has none, except in cases of exceptionally good conduct, and he is guarded by his non-comiesicned officers and his more lucky comrades during the few hours that he is allowed to exercise or make his poor little pur- chases on the plaza. As in the old elavery days there were found negroes so carcless of freedom that though they en- joyed the confidence of their masters, who allowed them opportasities to em brace it, they werc proof against tempta— tlon, so there are soldicrsjin the barracks here who sra allowed at long intervals to cross the El Paso, and who do not forget to come back. ¢ It Is needless to say that the surplus of thirty cents per diem would go but a short way, if any on San Antonio or El Paso streets, and 1t takes considerable saving to get enough for a good time on the other side. ~ Whatever the sum may be, though, it goes for whisky or its equlvalent, as it does among soldiers the world over. ‘When Mars, the mighty God of war, Did first of battles think. Ho girt his sword upon his thigh And mixeda drop of drink, These soldiers of Paso del Norte are the terror of the American bar-keeper, as their idea of a drink is all the glass will hold. For them he provides a glass with wonderfully thick bottom, m; sides and capacity. or otherwise produces the ready bottle of inspiring “all sorts," They are quiet on those old trips to the American side, are honest, paying for the little they buy, and giving no trouble to the police. I might think it was the awa of imposing numbers of Gringos to which this was duc if I were not aware that their conduct as_individuals i lly zood on the bank of the river, aps the solution i3 to be found in the severe discipline of the Mexican army. MEXICAN DISCIPLINE. In the old days when poor old Ryng of the Brit shot for a mistake, Voitaire sneered at the people who killed Admiral—**poor encu les autres”—and later, English cynics boasted at if the English sailor: soldiers could not be beaten by the their country made it up at home. I donot know if the soldier of Admiral that. His coat isrough, and judging from its appearance I would argue ths the stable call is seldom sounded in the Eleventh cavalry. In barrack hls ration of hay is small and his allowanco of corn frequently a negatlve «uantity, which mathematicisns demon- strate is le:s than nothing. In the field he lives off the face of the country, and how he continues to live where an Amer- fcan horse would starye is an equine mys. terg. DBat it fs the capacity ¢f both man and horse to live on little and bear hard- ship that makes the Mexican cavalry bet- Mexlco, even now, would not be beaten abroad, but I do know that he was beaten at home. Tho lssh which stamps the soldier ‘as o slave and degrades chivalry to the level of the ehambles flourishes, The stato fs not put to much exvense cither when the Jash is applied. There is no paradoe of officers, 1o marahaling of witnesses for and ugainst the accused, no Judge Advocate, no dress sword-belis, no white gloves, Doze of all the *‘pomp, pride and circamstanco of glorions war.' A single officer somotimes gives judg- ment, and _in the words of Tliomas ter Indian fighters than our own. To Gen, Terrssas, of Mexico, 1s due the ex- tinction of Victorfa and his band, who, for two years, plundered and murdered the settlers on the forntier line of south ern Arizona and New Mexico, and to Gen. Guerra and Col. Gallardos more than to Gen, Orook the extinction of the bands of Nans, Ju and Bonito, snd their expulsion from the Slerra Madre. The reason why our troops bave made such poor Indlan fightera is explained in one sentance by Gen, Crook: *You can't catch mosquitoes with a six-mule team,” 'ake the American horse, He did antmal, salected with great care beard of army officers in Missouri or Cal- tfornfa. Oftentlmes he is the beau ideal of the war horse of scripture, and worthy to live on the canvas of a Horace Vernet. But he s the horse of the {)lli.!:lY not of the moun- talns; of clvilization, not of nature. Like his master he must be well fed and well cared for, He must have a daily ration of grain and hay; must be combed and rubbed down at least twice a day, If therc be mud on his fetlocks it must be carefully removed lest ke suffer from *'scratches,” and, fnally, his habitual pace must be a walk and bls exceptional pace the trot or gallop. All this means a large pack or wagon train, & fearful loss of time, and the utter inability o catch a foe who has been known to do sixty miles in twenty-four hours on foot! A HEAVY 1OAD, The weight the American cavalry boree is compelled to carry s enough to almost literally make him stagger. He carries saddle, saddle blanket, side lincs or hobbles, some 30 feet of thick plequet rope, iron picquet pin and ring, canteen, blanket and overcost of the soidier, eaddle-bsys, the carb'ne and the eolaier, together wi b his two belts filled O'Brien, “The devil a much time he allows for repentence.” Inall I have written of the Mexican anmy I have had no intention of hurting the feelings of the largs and growing gen- erous class, who are only anxious to ap- proach In everything the higher level.

He comes hero every day and eits there, Ho says his appointment ia all fixed as goon as Oleveland comes in, He just elta atill there and watches the folks go by. The other day he ap- preached one of the guides very confi- dentially and asked him to aseist him in finding out the daties of a steamboat In- spector. Ho wanted to know somothing about the position so as to be able to enter upon the dutles as soon asap pointed. He sits there overy day study- ing the matter over. LOTS OF OFFICE SEEKERS, “The crowd of visitors is unueually large for this time of yesr and ls getting larger every day. Lots of them are sightecers, brides and grooms, ete., but|! a large prooortion of them are not strangers. You can tell the atranger, you know, and you can tell the office seekers. The latter outnumber the others just now. Strangers and sightseers generally get a guide to show them about. They always want to know how high it Is to the canopy in the dome, when the capitol was built. and who owns the plotures around the walls. But, as 1 was eaying, the Jaxger part of the vleitors here now are after places under the new adminis- tration. They are here after the mem- bors, laylog their wires, They are swarming in every day. Some of them wear beavers and buttonhole the mem- bers on overy occasion, Some are secdy and don't know anybody, but just sit hero and walt, They are all after places,” and with a sweep of his hand he took in the whole circle of s:ats about the rotunda, occupied by a motly crowd of men, all wrapped in profound silence as If in deep thought. THINKERS, “hey don't know just what they want and have come here to think it ou They ccme every day. 1've got to kuow them all. They say they are all right with the new administration, but the great trouble 1s to think out just what place they'll take. Some of them find that a poser; but as scon as they get stuck, and can’t think just what they want, down they sit ond” begin to think it out. All the seats yousee are full, They come early. Many are here when the doors open. They are punctual; they make a matter of business of it. ‘When new ones come and all the seats are taken they walk about disconsolately. ‘When one of them gettles upon what he wants ho is just as delighted as if ho had received the appointment. He runs up and tells the watchman and then his neighbors what he Is goieg to be, and after that they give him his title. They are then Mr. Inspector, Mr. Marshal, Mr. Collector, Mr. Auditor, ete. If two settle upon the same place there’s trouble and they have to compromise the matter and think over again, LOOKING AT THE LADIES, “But they aren't the only carlous ones,” he added, as his eye wandered aloug the line, *‘See that fatherly-look- ing old man standing there to your left, smiling at that lady. Well, you wouldn't think it, would you? No; no one would. Ho comes hero for no_ofher purposs bat to admlrc the pretty ladies who are al- ways pasting through the capitol to seo the sights. There are several of them who come here for that purpose. They always get hero before the throng of vis- itors began to pass through, They takea stand in the rotanda and feast their eyes until evening. Lots of young bloods come up to the capitol from time to time to make mashes—that is what they call them, ain’t 1t?
