BaltimOre's Crack Regiment at Long
Branch

Speaking of the departure of the Fifth
Maryland regiment for Long Branch
from Baltimore, correspondent of the
Washington Capital says:
The regulations for the guidance of
the regiment while in camp have al
ready been issued, and are very strin-
gent. One provision is that any man
detected in state of intoxication will
be ut once arrested, confined and pub
Hcly punished. The men are also en-
joined to observe great caution in bath
ing, whether they be good swimmers or
not, and not to battle alone. The en-
campment will last eight days. The
Marine Band, Luigi Schneider, director,
will accompany the regiment, and dur
ing the stay at Long Branch will give
a grand concert at the Ocean Hotel, at
which President Grant, Secretary
Robson and other prominent people
are expected to be present. Great
preparations are being made at the
Branch for their reception, and the in
dications are that their coming will
lead to large influx of visitors from
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.
Lieut.. Col. Pointer preceded the regi-
ment to Long Branch to supervise the
erection of the tents at Camp Monmouth
and other details.

A Talk With the COmanches.

The commanding officer at Fort Sill
reports to Gen. Sheridan ga talk " he
has recently had with Asa-habe and
"Asa.tuy-it" of the Pen-ne-teth-ka
band of Comanches, which shows the
cause of the present hostility of the
Comanches and kindred tribes. The
report says:
"After some conversation, in which
thew INQUIRED how L was going to treat
them in their friendly attitude, asked
them what the Comanches had to COM
plain of what were the causes of the
General hostility on the part of the
Gomanches, Kiowas, and Cheyennes Z?
Tbev replied that the Comanches had
nothing to complain of on the part of
the government agent, troops or whites:
Init that some two months ago Ga
prophet arose among them, who told
them that he had an interview with the
great spirit, who said that the Caddas,
Wichitas, and other Indians who were
adopting the mode of life of the whites.
were going down hill fast in means and
population, and the Comanches would
do the same if they followed the same road
and the way for them to be again the
powerful nation they once were. was TO
go to war and kill off all the white peo-
pie they could" This, these two chiefs
said, chimed in with the feelings and
wishes of the evil.disposed of the ma
ton, and the present war was the re-
suit"

BY GERTRUDE MACK.



Upon couch within chamber fair. s.'
In dreamiess siumber bound, and unaware
OF passing night and day.
And Time, that brought alternate bloom and blight
To all without that bower,
Left her unaltered in his onward sight;
She seemed beyond his power.
As lifeless as Pygmalions statue Love,
Ere gifted with a soul,
There slept she in magic trance, above
Man 5 potence 10 control.
At morn, the sunshine through the easement
streamd
Its glories, young and warm;
And tenderly its loving luster geamd
Around her fairy form.
1t kissed her parted lips OF dewy rose
IL played with gentle glow
Upon her lids, and wood them 10 disclose
The shining orbs below.
But yet she woke not at the soft salute;
Those lids, so smooth and white
Unopened lay-the lovely lips were mute,
Though smiling in the light.
Birds perched upon the tree that blossomed near,
And chanted through the day;
But all unheeded fell upon her ear
Their wild and airy lay.
At eyentide, the tender, solemn stars
Came out into the blue,
And beaming warmly through the lattice-bars
Soft shmmers DER her threw.
And when the storm came and the wild winds beat
The rain with sudden dash
Against the pane, her face as calmly sweet
Showed IN the lightnings fash.
Spring burgeoned into Summer, glad and boon,
That grew to Autumn prime,
And Autumn with its splendor faded soon
To dreary Winter time.
Year followed year the young waxed old and gray,
And yislded to Deaths claim
Their children lived their date, then passed away,
But she was left the same.
And, yer tar and fresh as in the hour
Ths spell her senses froze,
She aited there the fatal kiss, whose power
Would break her long repose.
