lence, the uniform and equipment not to be
Improved upon; nor does he asseverate that
the military tout ensemble surpasseS in
dazzling reality the widest dreams of Fred
erick the Great and Napoleon. But he
smiles pleasantly and Says-what will be
seen in his report. And if there is man
in the United States who can smile pleas
antly and blandly, and who has an eye like
laughing girls to light up and elucidate
that smile, it is this same bold and beau
sabreur whom grim Tecumseh selected for
conspicuous gallantry on the field Prob
ably the colonePs laughing eyes can be-
come like the Numidian lion, but nothing
that they have yet rested upon in Camp
Hubbard has given them that
forbldding appearance. Taken with its
merits and its faults the Second Minnesota
is noble, praise deserving regiment. Maj.
+. e. Smith, most gallant soldier of the
war and at present in the regular army,
says that but few years since there was no
such militia regiment in the country for
knowledge, drill efficiency and esprit de
corps as the Second Minnesota of to-day.
Its Improvement during the past year has
been at the rate of 100 per cent. For this
Col. Bobleter should receive much of the
praise. The captains should not be for
gotten, but without the aid and encourage
ment of the regiments commander they
could not have accomplished 1.-THE of
what they have. So far there has been but
one man il
CAMP HUBBARD'S GUARD TENT,
and he was confined for not unpardon-
able sin. A rival warrior, having brought
young lady, an acquaintance of both, into
camp, threatened to start up his hired team.
and, leaving the hapless friend to waste
his dangerous attractions on empty air, re-
sumo the pleasant position as the young
young lady's only companion. To this the
threatened youth objected, and being
seized with jocular idea he remarked that
his friends livery team could not be started
without whip, and proceeded to make a
dash for the whip. His dash terminated
in the guard tent, and he felt considerably
dashed. The social aspect of Camp Hub
bard puts on pleasant appearance in a
card of invitation, whereby the Second
regiment and ST. Paul cavalry, NJ. N. c.,
request the presence of yourself and ladies
at their
