PIATT'S ZOUAVES.

This renowned body of men. the Thirty fourth
Ohio Veteran Infantry, held their annual Reunion
on September ID, at NOgels Hall, on Elm street,
Cincinnatti Ohio 1t was the largest and
most enthusiastic meeting that the boys have
had since the war, and will long be remembered
The Thirty-fourth regiment served exactly four
years, having been mustered into the service
July %, 1861. at Camp Lucas Ohio, and mus
tered out July p, 1865. 1t participated in all
the important engagements in West Virginia and
the Valley Of the Shenandoah, and always
prompt when duty called Its record of losses
in battle is startling and shows that the ZOuaveS
were where the fight was hottest. As an example,
it lost 125 men, killed and wounded, at the battle
OfFayetteville, Va, where Colonel John I. Toland
had two horses shot under him. Colonel Toand
a year or so later was killed in battle at Wythe-
vile, Virginia. Under General Sheridan, in the
Valley of Virginia this regiment showed distin-
guished gallantry at the battles of Cedar Creek
Fishers Hill, Opequan, Hall Town, Berryville
and dozen less important engagements, and sus-
tanned their well-earned reputation for gallantry
and discipline 1t was composed chiefly Of very
young men, none Of them scarcely above twenty
five and most ofthem between the ages of seven
teen and twenty-One, and yesterday it was diff
cult to find one whose head was being turned to
silver. AT the meeting no less than seventy men
registered their names, and if the parade takes
place, they will all be in line
President J. H. Short called the meeting to
order, and the business began. 1t was decided
10 hold the next Reunion at Amelia Clermont
county Ohio, and the same officers were reelected

KING KALAKAUAr

King Kalakaua, the King of the Sandwich
Islands, who is now in this country on his tour
around the world, arrived in this city on the
9th of September The King is accompanied
by Colonel Judd and W. n Armstrong, who is
the encouragement of the Hawaiian govern
ment. The latter is an American and owns
farm near Fortress Monroe, where he formerly
lived. The object of the Kings visit to this
country is simply for pleasure tour. He was
here in 1874, and remembers most pleasantly
the reception rendered to him. The King is a
large, portly man, about forty-fve years of age,
and has a very pleasant and agreeable manner.
King Kalakaua speaks English with slight
foreign accent, and their color is the only means
of distinguishing the royal party from the Ordi-
nary tourist.

At recent Reunion of Wisconsin soldiers
veteran, who twenty years ago was a drummer
boy in the old Sixth Wisconsin, suggested
monument in honor of the brave men and officers

belliOn. Subsequently, ON the 28th of Septem-
Der, pursuant to call signed by General E. S.
Bragg, Vice-President Of the association, meet

suggestion and there is fair prospect of its be-
ing carried into effect.

GENERAL ORDERS,
No. 8.
T. The Nation is bathed in tears, the world
stands appalled, at the deed of the cowardly,
treacherous, and infamous assassin Emhlems of
mourning denOting the grief of a stricken and sOr
rowing people are visible on every hand. Presi-
dent James A. Garfield, patriot, statesman, and
chief ruler of our great and beloved country,
lies quietly sleeping in the arms of grim death.
With what startling effect the announcement of
his demise fell upon people whose hearts are
filled to overlooking with sadness. Hoping and
praying through all his long weary suffering,
admiring his fortitude and patience we learned
to love and revere him. But He who rules over
the destines of the world, and whose ways are
mysterious and past finding out, decreed that the
prayers of a Nation should not prevail, and that
his spirit should ascend to God who gave it. We
bow in meek submission to His will. During
the dark days of the Republic, when fratricidal
hands sought to destroy the Union established
by our fathers, our COmrade James A. Garfield,
in common with the patriotic .sons of the North,
more precious and dear to him than life
itself Passing through the fiery ordeal of war,
mercifully spared by kind Providence, honored
and elevated by a grateful people to the highest
Office in the land, mother, wife, and family Joy
fully anticipating the bright future, he in the
prime and vigor of manhood is suddenly without
warning or provocation shot down by the cruel
hand Of the assassin.
The life of our lamented comrade is fraught
with valuable teachings, which will serve as
landmarks to future generations. Comrades, our
love and veneratiOn for him viii be best attested
by striving to emulate his noble example.
II. 1t is ordered that Post Headquarters be
draped in mourning for period Of thirty days,
and that Department, staff, and Post officers on
all public occasions, when on duty, will wear
Grape on the left arm.

despair and the light of life would dawn through
the gloom. The prayers of a loving and Chris

to the Nation its PROSTATE President. But death

known to be further enlarged upon AS
to Turkey Leg the following curious
fact in his history may be worth relat-
ing:
About ten years ago
HE HAD SON,
brave, who started out on the war path.
His first adventure was an attempt to
steal horses near the Chugwater, about
midway between Fort Laramie and Chey-
enne. The young man was waylaid and
shot from ambush. He fell from his
horse, but hanging to the lariat he was
dragged half mile to the side of the
road, where he died. His body lay un-
buried for several days. when lady,
passing in coach, stopped and covered
the horse with her shawl, leaving it there
as an expression of decent respect to hui
manity The next summer Mr.. Felix r.
Brunot and the late Col. Robert Camp
bell were holding council as Indian
commissioners with the Sioux and North
ern Cheyennes at Fort Laramie, when
Turkey-Leg came in, bringing with him
THE BONES OF HIS SON,
which he had brought from the Chug-
water, about fifty miles distant, and he
was going to carry them home, about 100
miles beyond Fort Fetterman, to give
them burial. This trait in an Indians
character was an offset for good deal of
iniQuity in the Indians character.

was on the Lone Star rancho that the wonder
full three-ply sheep was born. We refer, of
course, to the sheep with three eyes, three
ears and three tails, which was full ly described

ceived advces from our special correspondent,
Mr.. w. W. Cook, whom we have engaged as
a specialist, to keep a scientific eye on the pc
culiar happenings at the rancho.
In the course of his letter on the recent phe-
nomenon, Mr.. Cook says: Gas most of your
readers probably know, black wool brings
from five to- ten cents a. pound less
than the corresponding amount of white
wool In order to secure the separa-
ton of the inferior product, as
our shearng operations progressed, we placed
the black sheep in pen by themselves. There
were thus on last Tuesday night sixty-three
black sheep and some lambs In one of the
corals. During the night coyote entered
and killed eve and two lambs, and we were
greatly surprised to find in the morning that
the wool on the remaining slxty-two sheep
had turned perfectly white from terror.
