The Nel0s also contains picture of Miss
Belle Boyd, "the rebel spy" The picture
looks very much like those which are seen
weekly in the Nqtionat Police Gazette. The
face is particularly hard and forbidding.A

who left this city with the ShriYer Grays
and who are now confined in the Alhene-

above verse. JReksop,s ragmufins were
as rniserably attfred as .Falstaf1s recruits,

frighten an ordinary man out of his senses.
