The officers of the several companies of the Seventh

brave and gallant a lot of men drew sword in
their country's can say as much for the In
fantry. Brave aud true-hcarted every one Of them.
In my opinion, based upon experience and
familiarity with tho army and It's men for years.
teeve am safe in saying that the present expedition
under the command OF General Terry ID made up from
among the Of tho American service, the Seventh
and Second cavalry and the Sixth. sovonteenh Twen-
teth and Seventh infantry.

are eminently fitted, and their commands made up

The Oshkosh Monstrostss,.

The newspapers proclaim that III y
have discovered notable monstrosity
in child born at Oshkosh. which Is a
kind of d,tple1 homo in that it is of twins,
but cohjoined; and is Of compound sex,
being the one boy and the other girl.
Concerning this lasas nature the N. x.
Times thus solemnly discourseth:
The latest alleged discovery Of the
kind is that Of a combined boy and girl,
who is said to have made his, her, or
their appearance in the City OF Oshkosh.
All previous Oshkoshian boys have bee n
OF the pattern in common use, and it is
understood that the combined owes his
existence to the stimulating effect of the
approaching Centennial Exhibition upon
the patriotic minds OF his parents, o.
course, he is to be exhibited at Pniladel-
phia as specimen OF American ingenu-
| lty and industry, and though he will be
looked on more In the light OF a curious
human toy than of meritorious and
practical Improvement upon the ordi-
nary boy OF commerce, he Is certain to
command the respectful attention OF all
persons with q taste for rare bits OF hui
man bric-a-brac. aa4
Strictly speaking, the Oshkosh boy Is
not cOMDlneu p0y ana girl. he Is
rather,a boy with an ingenious female
attachment. So far as the larger part
of him fs concerned he is complete
boy in all respects -Ipossessing the
limbs, freckles, pockets, marbles, JACK:

nature has benevolently endowed the
