These lots present strong attraitions to the sclool commissioners, as they may be connected with the city spring lot In such marner as to furnish all the room required for a high Bchool building, complete in all its parts and airangements, leaving a spacious and noble play- round for the pupils of this school, and alio, if esired, for those of primary and grammar schools No whose bulla lug occupies one of the sides of this ground. The building to be erected on Ceurtlai street could be extended over the alley in the rear, leaving an arched passage for vehicles still through the alley. By a suitable railing enclosing the city spring lot for the exclusive use of the schorls, and tbe erecting of a proper building for the purpose intended standing at the head of the grounds and pointing towards Calvert street, the neighborhood would be benefitted and embellished. The schoeil commissioners recommend to the council to purchase the property named, provided the city spring lot be devoted to the uses of the central high school, In the manner they propese.

The interrogatories to the grantees (Messrs. Travers and others) twenty three in number, were reed. Wm. H. Jenkins testified that he knew of net rdvances being made to other members or himself relative to supporting toe railway bills.

Had no recollection of holding a conversation with any one in which it vas said money would be used to pass the Travers bill. Had he known the Tra vers bill would have been assigned he would not nave voteo ror it. iie received jrom no one any--thing to vote for any railway bill. Dr J. Irwin Smith testified that Mr.

Traver told him be opened the stock-book contrary to the wish of the assignees. He had been told by a member of tbe Citv council that a railwav- trrant could be sold for a handsome sum in Philadelphia. Understood that a man named Green had been here during the winter as tbe agent of Simon Cameron, to leg roll for a grant; that Mr. Brock also here. He believed that more than one member of tbe council was influenced by promises of remuneration to vote for the Travers bill.

Had heard one gentleman say that be had seen a list of tbe amounts to be paid parties on the pss-sEge of the bill, and on it were several members ft the council. Keceivea an intimation that one members' vote was to be influenced for a considerationnot a money consideration, but a promise to get a position for a friend. Declined mmlng; ii at member, as told mat one 1 ennsyivania party cflVied for the grant, but were over- uiu oy ids iiseignees. wm. fc.

Broik and others, of Philadelphia, Proposals to furnish the iron rsils were made by Mr. Foley, Thompson Sc On- perhaps oy Sticaney of Baltimore; do net know where they intended to get the iron.

Messrs. Wm. H. Cathcart and Silas Beacham are associated with him In the contract; they gave out the contract for rai's and other materials: the specifications were interlined with words requiring the deliyerv of the Iron to com. rrence within ten days.

Witness is to receive 858 0 per rnlte for single track, and $17,000 per mile for a double track. Some of the coaamlttee on highways have inspected work several times. Mr. Johnson testified that he was book keeper for the accommodation line of omnibns-s in 1359 '59. Knew of no promissory note being given to any ruber of the council in connection with the rallwav grant.

Mr. J. n. wood stiried that he thinks tbat there has bee some slight difficulty between the grantees and tbe assignees, but does not know whether it arose from the glvioj out of the contracts or from the opening of the books. The bond of $50,000 mentioned by the mayor la his message is, he thought, In the hands of Mr.

Thos. SeweU; was not aWereof any undue Influence exerted upon tbe embers tf the council pending any of ths railway bills. It was not known that in the erent of tte pssssge of the Travers bills It would be sold to the Philadelpbians Knew that It would be fcgslgned to said Philadelphia parties. Was aware tbat In the event of tbe pastage of the Tra vers bill that Philadelphia capital would be em ployed in me construction or the roaa, ana so m-lcrmed Mr. Swann before the passaae of it.

Knew who gave the contract to Shoemaker Co. for the construction of the road, but declined giving their r. am es. The grantees were consulted as to whom the contracts should be awarded. Declined to answer the question as to what interest be bS, or what relation be stands in to this railway enterprise, because he docs not think it a proper question to ask a gentleman.

Is not aware that tbpre was arsv pecuniary consideration between the assignees and grantees. Never was approach- ta Dy any oj the applicants oi any oi the oiiis witn. a consideration for his vote. Has no reason to behave such a course was pursued towards any other member. Declines to answer any question in reference to his personal conduct in this or any other bin.

if any one states mat ne(wooa) stated to any cf the various applicants for railway grants his support would be given to that bill which, fcfter securing the best interests of tbe city, would embrace parties who would befriend bin Wood) he lies. Mr. Carter testified that he was a party to one of the applications before the city councils for a grant to const! uct a passenger railway; witness went to see several of the members cf the first branch of the council In reference to his bill, and one of them in particular, whom he saw; told hlin to go to two certain parties, not members of the council, but who would assist him to get his bill through. I did so, and one of them said it would be necessary fcr me to raise six thousand dollars in order to secure its passage. Witness told them he had no money to spare.

Mr. Wm. H. Cathcart told hina that tbe name of his brother Robert was put in the bi-1 at tbe quest cf Mr. Sewell, a member of the secotd bisnch, without the consent of Robert C8thcart.

The-nswer of the grantees (Messrs. Travers and the twenty. three questions propounded tbem was read. It was very It ngthy and disposed of most of the queries by declining to answer them. Mr.

Travers gave a history of his connection with the matter. He knew nothing of money being used to iifluer.ee members of tne council; and the assignees had not bartered away any interests of the grant for money. The other four grantees concurred In Mr. Travers' answer. At 9 o'clock, without concluding the reading of that bock, the branch adjourned till this afternoon, when tbe reading will be concluded.

Talbott arcse and remarked that he had seen what was contained in that book relative to Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. Jenkins had branded Geo. B. Clarke, who made this statement, as a graduate of the Massachusetts penitentiary; and he desired to know if it was proper and just to read the testimony of such a person so branded.

Xle knew nothing of Clarke, but be knew something of William H. Jenkins. He knew him as a soldier in Florida, as a volunteer in Texas, and as serving for three years in Mexico, upholding and defending his country's flag. Before they suffered a fellow townsman to suffer from tbe slanders of one irom another sf ctlon they should be very care-fol. The member from the 8tn ward had branded Clarke as a convict no one had so branded Mr Jenkins, and thev should pause before thev allowed these slanders to be published here of one wno naa receivea tne sun rages of one-twentieth part of this population Mr.

Jenkins remarked that he was a thousand times obliged to the gentleman from the 6th ward. Be would Tbe pri sldentsaid there was no question before the branch. Mr, Talbott hoped the evidence of Clarke would be laid over for the present. Mr. Jenkirs hoped that the chair would not put that motion he wished it all read He had noth ing to fear from the result.

Mr. Talbott said if Mr. Jenkins did not object he would not. Tte clerk then proceeded to read the testimony of Clarke, In continuation, as follows: Mr. Jenkins remarked that the railroad Question would make a stir in the council there was mo-r-ey in the matter that none of tbe persons apply ing ror a railway grant would get their bin passea uithMit the expenditure of money among the members of tbe council.

That Mr. Glanville, and Captain James, of the jil, were, he be lieved, using money as agents of the Brooks party. That he (Jenkins) was under obligations to bim (Clarke) and intended to vote for his bill, and by God, if he fi uni tbat Clarke's party n- a nsea money to pass meir bin, ana ne did not get his proportion of It, because he was olng to vote for it any how, he would expise the wne-ie oi tne zrauas, Dcauie ne was Keeping his eyes en thrm. His' (Clarke's) answer to Mr. Jen- fcins was mtt tne uroois' party would not use any meney in passing their bill, bat if they should use money in securing votes to pass it, he would hold hlrjoBf-lf personally responsible to Mr.

Jenkins for 1 is share. Mr. Jenkins further stated that his vote was important one, because as he voted so would Mr. Colton also voteinthe2d branch. This wes about the purport of the Interview with Mr.

Jenkins. (Clarke) bad several Interviews James H. Word of the first branch, upon the same sub ject. On the first occasion, In 1S58, he stated that he wss in ravor of a passenger railway bill, and ttat if there wes a clause In It requiring the consent of the owners of a majority of the front feet, befi re the track could be laid down, he would vote it, he (Wood) furnishing a section to ttat effect, which was inserted in the Brooks bill. Oa two sutseqnent occasions during the pre- snt council, one of which was prior to the passage the Traveisbill, and tbe other tbe morning after its passage, bad conversation with Mr.

Afw damning pretty lustily old f--gles in general, some members of the second branch as the rr nd est old fogies, he defined. hl position in relation to the passenger railway and other bills. Mr. Talbott again arose and oMected to the read ing of tbe testimony of Clarke against Mr. Wotd while Clarke stocd branded as he had been by tte member from the 8th ward.

Mr. Bain arose to a Question of order. The President (Mr. Hynes) said Mr. Talbott was out of order.

Talbott replied that he was not out of order. The President replied that that was his decision. Mr. Talbott retorted tbat then his decision was erroneous. The President said that the ceuncil had decided to lead that journal.

Mr. Talbott said that he moved tbat so much or tbe journal as related to Mr. Wood be not read, without the consent of that gentleman. Mr. Talbott vrss about to proceed with some re marks on his motion.

Tbe President requested him to wait till the question was put. Mr. Tslbott replied that he did not know whether he would wait or not. The cbair did not know its business, but he (Mr. Talbott) knew his own business.

The President retorted that that was a question. Mr. Wood remarked that he had not the slight est objection to the reading of the journal, but that he thought the whole matter in very bad taste on tte part of the committee, so far as it related to him. He had seen no man in Baltimore who knew Clarke that would believe him on his oath. Mr.

Newman said it was a rule of law thatevery man was presumed innocent until he wa proved otherwise No one except the member from the 8th watd had made this attack on the character of Mr, Clarke He had heard two respectable firms say tbat it was a libel on the character ol Mr. Clarke, it tad come to a pretty pass that a wit ness who came there was to be thus assailed Who was the Individual who brought this charge against Mr. Clarke? a man who been a defaulter to the city of Baltimore. Mr. Jen Kin 8 arose hastily and asKed if he was on his trial.

Tte statement was a lie. Mr. Newman (excited) said tbat a defaulter should not call him a ar. Mr Fleming was his author, and weo paid the money for him (Mr. Jenkins) to the city eollector.

Mr. Bam hoped the sergeant at-arms would be re quired to make the member from the llth ward obey tne chair. Mr.JNewman replied mat ne would, ana asK- ed pardon for not doing so before. Tte president replied that he did not obey him. Mr.

Bain said that the Question was on the mo tion of Mr Talbott. Mr. Wood wished the journal read. Mr. Talbott withdrew the motion.

Mr. Beale desired the clerk to go on with the reading. Mr. Newman renewed the motion he wanted the sense cf tte council on the Question Mr. Beale again desired the clerk to go on with iue reading.

Mr. Newmsn said re claimea tne noor ne would ot be csgged off in that way Mr. Beale replied mat he had no desire to gag him. Mr. Newman retorted that he did.

But they could not frighten him off. There had been talk of blocd to frighten persons off. Mr. Talbott (much excited) said that when they taJKed of blocd there were members mere reaay to meet that, or thing else. i here were hisses me crowded looby, ana tne greatest excitement ensued.

Mr. TaiDou anege a mat ne naa open nissea oy parties paid for that purpose. He defied them they would not face him and hiss him, but shrink away JiKe tounas, as they were. Mr Talbott berated the lobby. Mr.

Newman and others attempted to be heard, members called to order, and a scene or disorder ana excitement rarely witnessed ensued, the president gavel De-ing heard above the din in a vain effort to restore quiet Finally, however, order was the cietK proceeaca. G. B. Clarke, In continuation: On the first oc casion Mr. Wood said that the boys, (meaning the members ot the after having securea me best possible bill for the interests of the city, had a right, and would look to their individual interests, when it did not conflict with tbe interests of tbe eity.

On the second occasion, ifter repeating very nearly the very same remarks, be added that ror his parr, wnen a cm suited nis views, ne would always give the preference to such par-tics as were, or would be his friends in need. Ke (Clarke) bad waited on several members of the eouncll, and furnished them with books on the subject of the passenger railway. Had an interview with Mr. Beale at his (Beale's) house ThFy discussed the merits cf the passenger railway subject in general, in which ne tried toim prss upon. Mr.

Mr. Beale said yes, yes, and turned to Captain Hie gins, who was with him Clarke) and remark ed that anything he could do for a friend of Capt. Higgins he would do. Alter leaving tue nuuse Captain Higgins and he (Clarke) repeated the remarks between them, and concluded that It all amounted to nothing, not because of the manner in which it was said, but of tte man who said it.

Mr. Beale showed no indignation at the supposed offer, but offered them the hospitalities of his houre, and Invited them to call and see him a'ain. At this point Mr. Beale handed a letter to the 3 MVl.l. a clerk, which he desired to have read, -which re quest was grante a.

ne letter was irom vupiim Asa Higgins, addressed to Mr. Beale, staling in substance that the writer introduced G. B. Clarke to Mr. Beale.

Mr. Clarke saia to rur. tseaie mat they should give the contracts Tor wort, on me oassenucr railway, uir uicnua ui hue iuau, if taken on the same condition! as others, but they would not pay a bribe of three cents to obtain the grant. The writer had no conversation with Mr.

Clarke that would reflect upon his char acter as a gentlemen, after they left Mr. Beale's bouse. Mr. Newman wished to know If it would be In order to move the printing of 100,000 copies or that letter? The president said It would not. The clerk read Mr, Clarke's testimony In continuation: Did not know of the Brooks association holding out any inducements to any members ol tne coun- YOL.

How the i rim soldiers smiled and looked delighted kind hearts as they were. How they thought of the ccntrest of that scne with the storm of bullets at iolferiro Mid Msgenta. The Dake of Mesnta (MeMahon) was present with his division, and received an ovation only seroi dto flint or Napoleon; so also Gen'l Forey, the victor of tbe first battle in the recent campaign Montebello.

They received the homage of their as became their various characters some still and impassible, too modest or too stem to notice it others radiant wlh joy, siluting and resiluting the cheering crowd. The Austrian standards and forty Austrian euca were carried in triumphal procession s.n.id tbe vivas of the populace, and then followed rrw divisions of the army. Therarsage of the troops began at a little pist t-ii ck, and was over only just before three oVIock. They parsed In deep column at the quick ste and numbered vpwards of 60,000 men.

When one ei deavors to realize to one's mind the fp that the French alone at Solferino numbered thre times as many, at that the whole combatant present at the battle must ha ve en some nii as large, it seems difficult to comprehend bow su-h vest aggregations of humanity coiild by anymeans be msnceuvred.

The New Yoik Post, In describing the scenery of the heavens on Sunday i.inht, says: At titr es It suggested a mighty band and an ou-stretched arm, bound at the wrist with a brace let cf rubv and diamond, with the open palm held as if in benediction over the earth, while the fingers of light reached almost to the distant horizon. Soon, as Everett has beautifully spoken cf a somewhat similar scene, the hands of an-cels shift the glorious Bcenerv of the heavens." The mass of apparent red cloud to the eatt moved away southward, gradually fading, while the corresponding red cioud on-the west seemed to sir.k into a chae of dark cloud that, with a fringe of blue, skirted the western horizon. While terse changes were taking place In the east and west, tne wondrous crown aoove moved a few degrees and then gradually faded.

Flashes of light covering many degrees slowly condensed intoa migniy ciou(3, wna its top near the zen.th. This cloud, gradually altering its shape, tssumed forms botli singular and suggestive. At one time It bore a striking resemblance to sn eagle, atd then the slightest, almost imperceptible ctange. transformed It into a tortoise. Then again it seemed to sweep across the heavens, presenting the appearance of a confused procession of beings clad in ghostly shrouds, and reminding one of the dim heroes of Ossian.

For about half an hour these remarkable changes took place, and then the lights graauaiiy disappeared. In a short tlaae. however, they were resumed. Sheets of the same white luminous cloud again illuminated the sky. producing about the ssoae amount cf light as the lull moon, and tee night Decame almost as the day.

It must have been much like those described by Dr. Kane, Bayard Taylor, end other Northern travellers. Of the estent of the phenomena we have tcme idea from the fact that the telegraphic wires were effected by it in every direction. All the operators on tbe eastern lines speak of the dis-play c-f the aurora borealls as tbe most magnifi cent ey ever witnessed. Certainly net since tne appesrar.ee or tne last comet cave the heavens de clared tee glory or uctf Id a sublimer manner, or the firmament shown His handiwork in more gor geous manut stations.

The Harrisburg (Pa.) Un'on states that during the display one of the operators in the Harrisburg telegraph office chanced to touch the wire, and wts ttrown, by the violence of a shock which he received, across the rcom. The Union therefore comes to thecorc'us'on ttat the phenomena of the northern lights may be tscribed to electricity, an I a long disputed question of science Is deflnitrly explained by the action of the magnetic telegraph.

The response of the grantees, Mr. Travers and his associates, to a si n.moiis of the con.mittee to appear before thean, says that they desire to furiiish all the information in their possession to the committee, refers them to the published correspondence with Mayor Swann. I hey requested the committee to submit to them a series of interrogatories, which they preferred to an oral examination.

He volun teered to canvass around among the members of the citv council to see how thev were dls posed ar.d, as it might incur some lit le expense. he asked me, or whoever held the purse strings of the BreoKs association, to enclose twenty dol lars to him, at the nice of the board of control and review, located on tne corner oi Norm ana Fayette slreets.

He also told him that his association was willing to give the preference in any cntract to members or the city council; ana aiso mat tueir rott.mendation for any of the appointees should iave the preference.

He said to witness afterwards in first branch cnamoer oi inecuy council, "now, mil d. Mr. wniet, i shall expect the paving con tract through Mr. P. M.

No member of the council. nor any other person approached him on the subject of the railway bill with the avowed expectation of being bribed.

He had a conversation with Wm. H. Jenkins, the etb. ward, on the subject, The TriBnsphai Eatry of the Army of Italy lata Paris Grand Military Fete. The Paris correspondent of t'ae London Times gives glowing accounts of the grand military fete which occurred In Paris on the 14th of Augutt, in honor cf the return of the victorious ermy of Italy.

It is stated tint upwards of a million of strangers were in Paris on the occasion, and altogether it Is regarded as the most brilliant pagent of the kind that has occurred since the reign of Louis Napoleon. The spacious Boulevards were densely crowded from the Madelalne to the Bastile, (about three miles) the windows and house-tops were Also full of people end decorations, and triumphal arches were ere-ted with inscriptions in honor of the recer-t victories. The number of troops In motion was nearly 60 000, with five marshals, the Emperor's stair, 4 writ rsiys: The Place Vendome was by far the most inter-eitirg point cf the animated route through which the MC'or'ous army passed. The reader familiar with. Paris can easily imagine the spacious square, with its noble Napoleonic column (suggested by the Trojan piilar at Rome) surrounded by plat-fcrms reaching as fcigh as the first floor, and circling ail round the houses cf the Place.

On toe right and It ft of the Ministry of Justice werecoa-splcuoiis tribunes occupied by the Empress, the Prir.ce Impeiia1, tie Princess Mathilde, he Princess Clotilde, and the immediate court circle. Circling around the square were seats ctlcuLi'ed to accommodate 30.1X4) forming avast amphitheatre. The windows of the houses of ihe Place Vendome were all hung with crimson velvet, ar.d from the cornice of the roof of the build-iegs festoons of green and gold laurel wreath, hung with grareful esse, being caught up at Intervals and attached to shields, from which issued a clt-ster of flags At each end of the entrance of the Place were tight magnificently gilt colamns, each supporting a golden figure of victory. It was here that the great military feie found Its centre cf is terest. The Empress, the Prince Imperial, ar.d ail the members cf the Imperial family were in this elevated tribune; and sarrounded on eitle." tide, ar.d circ'ing all round the square, were seen a' cluster of elegantly dressed ladies and military uniforms, presenting altogether a most slittericg and animated scene.

The Emperor oi terse-back, placed, himself before the Imperial tribune, and there witnessed the troops file off before him amid the most deafolng cheering. It was at this point that the great officers of State, the diplomatic corps, and in fact, the aristocratic and fashionable members of Parisian society, werecol-lecttd These who witnessed this wide amphitheatre, containing 20,000 persons, as the troops, in an erdless moving stream, passed through the seated crowd, will never forget the picture. It was the event cf the age. Arcther writer tins discourses about the scene at the Plac Yendoaie: Wreathed and garlanded, with laurel, which hung in festoons along the eaves, with flood of purple velvet, embroidered with bees, ciphers and crowns with a purple circus reaching to the story, bniit to acommodate some 25,000 people, with gtddea poles and many colored streamers flacEliug from the roof, or fluttering round the base the majestic column which Is Its chief or lament: the old familiar Place Vendome. of quiet and almost gloomy memory, could hardly be.

recognized. At Its entrances collosal Corinthian piliars were crowned with golden Vlctorles.hold-Ing out wreaths In either hand to the soldiers of France. Everything was grand, gorgeous, brilliant. Up the Rue de li Palx the many colored vista wzs terminated by a colossal figure of Peace. Here let me once more recall to yoa the vastness the scene, which you must bear iii mind you rannct see ail at once.

First yon see vaguelv the distant object, then understand what it is. Well, yon tear the waves of sound of a strangely thrilling nature rolling in on you. and then from the Rue de la Pais come moving masses, all green; all around yon cheer. On cornea the mass, and you distinguish the moving men, covered with wreaths and garlands. But in the distance, at the entrance, you see the waving kerchiefs on a sudden more sharply waved.

Yoa see arms suddenly thrown up; you see a more 3erce excitement seize toe crowd; there is almost a shriek in the cheer that comes from that end cf the place. "Why." the mass comes Bearer. Ah! tnere are r.o bayonets, no muskets: nearer, you see the men distinctly; they are limping, bent, hurt: they are the wounded of the army. Then a shout from the mea, and sharp sympathetic cries from the women- Poor fellows: They pass the Eonpereur, they turn their fices to him. "Vive l'Emprr-ur! one waves his arm fcis one arm; another stops to wield his crutch: those nearest to Napoleoa thrown at his feet the green decorations which the people gave.

On they come, more and more of them and Vive rKmrerenr:" and now they pass us closely. Bow the women crowd towards them! po fellows. Snch yellow facs! Such lines of suffering; thin forms strong men maimed, pulled down, wrecked. They march in company with their officers, ail wounded too. See that tall fellow! that young cfiicer cf the Guard, with the Gardonl face, that his metier loves and some sweet Marie or Lucille adores see he has lost both arms a cry of pain is all about ns.

him, see aim," yet he walks proudly, his coat swung from his broad boulders Be ste3 the eyes bent on him. With a glance he acknowledges the sympathy, suddenly Tie steps -towards us with his fall face glowing with fire, ar.d cries with such brave enthusiasm, true as his "valcr, noble as his suffering, such a clear strong voice oice from the heart "Vive la France!" "Vive I'Empereur:" and the mutilated man strides on. conscious of duty done and glory won. I can-rot tell the pain and pride of that scene. Thousands passed by, all wounded, all so cheery in their suffering, saying in every look, "I am happy to sufler for my country- for the glory of France Nor can I paint the gaze of the men spectators, nor can 1 convey the sympathy of women's eyes.

Bat deep sympathy was there: and they, the wounded, knew it, and It paid for all they had undergone. Noble and glorious soldiers! but so many wearily, so many so many tbat the heart ached at the streaming columns of crippled her oes. -At last thev ail passed by, and then came along the strains of military music, and regiment after pasted in review before their chiefs. again I cannot follow the programme, for it vas not exact; aEd here again the greatness cf the scene e'ertops my power of accurate story. For four hours, la broad column, the march never ceased Marshal after marshal and general after general, colonels, innumerable and scores of regiments, passed Jn triumph.

First, the Guard Grenadiers, Voltigeurs, Chasseurs, Artillery, all classes, literally covered and hidden with laurels and bouquets bouquets on the guns, bouquets in the bar. wreaths slungonfhe arm about the collars, garlands about the necks, all joyous in triumph, with elastic step. Such bronzed faces, such seedy uniforms, bearskins rubbed bare with the blazing sun cf Italy. Such different faces, here a boy handsome and bold; here a veteran with long moustache and pointed beard, fine fallows all; crosses and medals for valor in plenty; Crimean medals abundant. It was imposstole not to feel that they were troops of heroes.

The English present all carght the enthusiasm of the hour, and cheered right lustily "Vive la "Vive lea "Vive la LIge," as successive regiments passed No one thought of "Riflemen form," or of the possibilities of the future. Every man present fait a pride in the manly fellows who did such honor to their country. The guardsmtn marched with superb precision the line, too, gallantly and firmly. Then came the Zouaves, jauntly, easily, as if their Jong march from St. Maur were but a light morning's amusement.

They look the perfe of "hard," "wl-rv," "beggars," up to anything; fierce of aspect; yet none, we know, were more tender to the wounded friend or enemy than the redoubted Zouave who passed In Austrian eye3 almost Satanic attributes. All the troops were lanrel crowned, and cone more greenly decorated than these Zouaves. Many regtments were accompanied by pets one by a goat; another by a superb black greyhound; several by other dogs they too were garlanded, end carried "wee" tricolor flags. Then there were the "Turces," cf whom the majority are pure Arab, and the rest niggers, Frenchmen, and an poiridn of all nations. They are most savage looking troops, dressed like Zouaves, only ail in blue.
