" In France plenty of young men
can be found to recruit the corps of
officers, but when it comes to being a
soldier the thread of their enthusiasm
is broken = Boston Post.
Don't blame them for it. Our ex-
perience in the Confederate service,
permanently settled that question in
our mind. Byron wrote that all the
fame soldier received was, in 'being
killed in battle and having his name
spelt wrong in the newspapers" Con-
federate fame, with the private soldiery,
consisted in being exposed to innumer-
able hardships and privations, with the
climax capped, by being commanded,
in many instances, by ek-headed
numb-skulls. who, unlike Hamlet in all
his madness. were barely enabled
" when the wind blew southerly, to tell
hawk from hand-saw!a
