VISIT OF VETERANS TO ALBANIA de-
tachment of the Veteran Corps Of the war
of 1912, one hundred strong, under the COM
mand of Col Haght, arrived at A lbany from
New York on Thursday, and were received
by the Republican Artillery, and escorted
through the principal streets to their head
quarters, Stanwx Hall. They were joined
by the Veterans of Albany, thirty eight in
number, and excited universal observation
and respect The associations are organic
ed for the object of aiding and assisting each
other while living, and decently interring
those when dead, who are without friends to
perform this last sad office.
The Corps bore the appearance of Veter-
ans indeed. The Journal says" Except the
officers they were attred in citizens dress,
with cross belts and sword, and small cock
ade (wth the old gilt eagle in the centre) on
their hats. They appeared far more vlgor-
Gus than was expected, although upon many
of them time had left his mark,
which was to be seen in their gray
hairs, their bent forms and trembling limbs.
One of the gallant old heroes persisted in
proceeding with his comrades, on crutches
He seemed as proud of his position as the
most hale and soldier-like of his compan-
ions" .... tlg1 1..
"The spectacle presented by these vener'
able men, who, forty years ago, had met OIt
England's chosen troops on the battle held
and by their patriotism and courage con
tributed to the brilliant achievements OF tina
war-was deeply interesting. Very few
were unmoved as they looked upon thes'
gallant men; and all thanked them, in thei
: hearts, for what they had suffered and achiev
| ed for their country. ."4su. 10 ,.@ as

"a SHORT ROMANCE. Under the above
caption, Mrs. Swisshelm's paper ofthe pres
ent week tells the following:
"Amongst the freight which passed thro'
this city last week on the underground rail-
road, was daughter ofa ''wealthy and inhu-
entiaP' citizen of Louisiana, young lady Of
remarkable beauty and no mean supply OF
spirit and intelligence. She had been well
broughtup and kindly cared for by her father;
but creditor levied on her for debt. She
was placed in a calaboose at New Orleans for
safe keeping, and for the inspection of pur-
chasers Amongst those who thought Of
buying the article, was one gentlemen who
wished to learn if her bust was indebted to
padding for its form; but the girl, resenting
this pursuit after knowledge as a personal
insult, dashed him from her; whereupon this
representative of Southern chivalry drew a
heavy whip and dealt her blow which she
caught upon hcr right arm and shoulder, and
which rendered them quite powerless. Thai
night-the night before the sale-some ono
came into her prison, gave her suit OF boys
clothes, bade her dress quickly and follow
She did SO, and was placed by the unknown
friend on steamboat bound for Pittsburgh
her passage paid, and here she arrived safely
"Her arm and shoulder were still disable'
from the effects of the blow, by her chivalrl'
would-be purchaser, but she was Thankful
to have got off so wonderfully; was hopelu
for the future, and with considerable com
panv of emigrants was promptly forwardc
to the British dominions."

OLD IRA's PRAYER The Elmira Daily
Karlon, under the head OF remarkable pray
ers, publishes the following of an old negro
well known about Sheffield, Mass. by the
name of Ira. The cid fellow was frequently
employed in playing the violin for dances in
and about town-and when returning one
dark night from 'frolic,' his boat, in cross,
ing the river, became nearly swamped, and
in his struggles to right her, he lost both
oars; as last expedient, he determined to
do a thing which he had never attempted be-
fore which was to pray-and dropping on his
knees, he exclaimed, "Oh, Massa Lord! il
ever ye gwine to help old Ira, now is de
| time haas. .. ~
