not To be in their company, but 10 know
that there were no more like them behind,
They were the toughest set of rowdies that
it was ever my fortune TO travel with.
Nothing else could have been expected
when we consider the qlality of the raw
material out OF which they we're first drawn,
aud then the demoralizog effect of lying
in camp around Nashville eight or ten
months, aud doing nothing. They would
have been discharged some time ago, but
there was not enough money In the treas
ury TO pay them oil, aud so they have been
hanging or lorg TIM, like dead weight
on the State credit.
Month after month they we're kept 10 the
service because the great State of Tennes-
see could not raise the money to pay them
off and got rid Of the incubus.

SISGULAR ExPERnEyT.-A curious physi-
illogical experiment was recently made by
placing a few grains Of barley before hun
CRY pigeon. While peeking at the barley. the
birds brain was frozen BY means of spray Of
ether. The bird. being thus deprived Of con-
ciousness, ceased pecking, and remained a.
if dead The barley was then removed, and
the ether spray having ceased, the brain was
allowed to fhaw. The bird soon returned to
life, and its first act was to renew the pecking
for time, although no food was before It.
