colonel John NJ Harlan, of the Kentucky
Tenth, has sent to his friends in Frankfort
some of the trophies of war that were left in
the camp of the rebels upon their precipitate
flight from Mill Spring. Among others is a
magnificent robe, made of the wolf skins
that are found in the Rocky Mountains of
New Mexico, and which, we believe, equals
in splendor the one worn by Caesar "that day
be overcame the Nervii." 1t was found in
Zollicoffer's tent, but whether belonging to
him or General Crittenden- has not been as
certained. Colonel Harlan has also remem-
bered us by sending US the camp stool that
was used by General Crittenden, and has his
name upon it
There are two regiments now in Ken
lucky known as the Tenth. The first is the
Tenth lndiana-a regiment that bids fair to
rival the famous Tenth Legion of the Ro-
mans, and has already performed deeds of
valor that will render it immortal. The
other is the Kentucky Tenth, commanded
by our former townsman, Colonel Harlan
This regiment is composed Of as good mate
rial as is to be found in any regiment in the
service, and we hazard nothing in saying
that it will be up with the foremost in the
day of battle 1t was only prevented from
sharing in the glory of the fight at Logan's
Farm by having been sent six miles from the
line OF march to meet two regiments of
rebels supposed to have been collected at
that point, but which proved to be mistake.
The regiment, by rapid aud forced march,
joined the main body, not soon enough to be
in battle, but in time to take part in the
pursuit, and to be the first to enter the en-
eBy's intrenchments the next morning.

THURLow WEEDS BoYHooD.-After over
thirty years editorship of the Albany EUen.
ing Journal, few readers need to be told who
Thurlow Weed is. OF his boyhood an AL
bsny correspondent of the Rochester Demo-
CTdt writes:
1t is more than forty years since lad
way worn aud friendless, was trudgiug on the
northern road, and seeking the way to Utica.
He was drummer by profession, and had
just served out his time of enlistment, which
lad expired after the battle of Plattsburg.
While the boy was wsarily plodding along,
the regular stage coach passed him, and the
driver, himself youth, noticing him with
sympathy, invited him to share his seat on
the box. That poor drummer boy answered
to the name of Thurlow Weed. He arrived
at Utica, and there, while learning the trade
of printer, he became the fast friend of the
kind stage driver. Years afterward, when
the printer had become a rich and influen-
tial man, he remembered the kindness shown
him on the road, as evidenced by the kind
friendship ever existing between the two.
Such was the history given us of the init .
macy existicg between Thurlow Weed and
Theodore Faxon.

How tho sectshers OF Charleston, Mo-,
Went to Church.


The Volunteer is the title off "brOad. side"
published by the boys of the Iowa Tenth
now stationed at the little Secesh town of
Charleston, about twenty. Eve miles west Of
Cairo. The Volunteer, Of January q, tells
the following story of the way in which, the
day after the Tenth took possession of the
village, the people thereof went to church:
General Paine, on arriving here yesterday,
found the churches vacant, and no evidences
of that devotion on the Sabbath necessary
to all well-regulated communities; he ac-
cordingly summoned the inhabitants of this
city end surroundings, to meet him at the
urt.house, at half-past one in the after
noon, where he proposed to expound to
them the weightier matters of the law. The
house was filled, (the General occasionally
sending after a prominent sbsentee,) and
after giving them some good advice, he called
on reverend divine to conduct the services,
quietly informing the audience that his serv-
ices were required elsewhere, and that it
would be necessary for them to remain until
six o'clock. On turning to the door they
were surprised to find that the house was
closely guarded, and that the balance of the
day they were prisoners. By this rIse the
General not only succeeded in preventing in
formation of his movements being carried to
the rebels, but brought many an old sinner
TO the altar, who had not seen it for years.
1t is TO be hoped that they profted by the
occasion.

B. F. Taylor thus slludes to touching
incident of railway ride:
And writing of shadows, we saw sad
sight on the Michigan Southern train-a wo.
man In the tangled maze of Insanity. Young,
woDdrous fair, with clear, soft eye, aud
hair that Petrarch's Laura might have sighed
for, with sprightly mind and gente spirit;
he was, it was feared, hoplessly crazad. Her
friends we're taking her to the Asy um at
Indianapolis, but sadly s5 to TIC grave.
One VINO wouiu 5aVe been az the world to
her, fell in Virginia in the front rank, and
the bullet that found his heart out struck the
gentle girl as we'll. She was waiting at
home for her "hold soldier boy" Her mad.
ness was mildness; she fancied she could fy,
and waved her white hands, singing all the
while snstches of songs and fragments of
hymns. One moment it would be the bugle
like strain Of
''I see them on their winding way,
About their ranks the moonbeams play;''
and then it would be a snatch of Logau's
go, could fly I'd fly with thee"
broken off with
"pm over young to marry yet;''
and all along she would call in most persua.
sive tones; Henry" listen an instant for
response that never came, and laughed so
like sweet bells tangled out of tune.",,
1t was not hard, knowing as much of her
story as we did, 70 tell who Henry was; it
was he that slept in his bloody vestments in
some grave OF the "Old Dominion" Her
friends stopped at the Salem crossings and
as the train swept on we caught a glimpse
of those white hands as she waved them
from the platform.
1t was sad sight-one of the works of the
war; and that poor girls shattered fate
stTews somebody's Threshold Thank God
it is not yours or mine. Thank God it is no
PATRIOTS. Henry, dead to her, and she dead
TO the world, shall join hands and staad
witness forever against traitors.
We do not wonder that DR.. Johnson
prayed daily during the last years of his life
that his reason might not be extinguished

son?' stranger abruptly said to a gentle
man in the streets OF London. "Do it then"
he quickly added, "for | have lost minei"
turned away, and was gone.
The deranged mind does not lack thoughts
but only the power of arrangement and the
pain of lunacy must lie in that delusive
grssping after them which never secures the
right one but always the wrong.
That blind preaching in the dark, and, in
deco, the philosophy of lunacy, we once at
tempted to embody in one simple stanza:
Immortal lthoughts-bright beads of gold
From shiyerd necklace shed,
Dimm'd in the Dust have darkly rolled
Thy hand alone those thoughts can thread"
