Life at Libby Prison.

In those boxes received through the
lines. saws an old soldier in the Alta
California, were many things besides
eatables: different kinds of musical in
struments, Enough to comprise a full
band, were sent to different ones, SO we
had d fine one, which discoursed sweet
music. We had a first-class minstrel
company, alsoa dramatic company OF no
mean dimensions. They were SO proficient
that MANY times the Confederate officers
would attend, and every night the streets
Of Richmond were crowded with people
who came to listen TO our band. We
also rave large and select hops, made SO
because there were no ladies present.
orr minstrel show took immensely, and
one was forced To go at three or four
i. A.. in order to get in. What little
we had to cook was done in one large
room. One end was used by
Chickamauga and the other BY officers
sc the Potomac army. We used little
tin cans to boil our rice in, and would
raise us the lids Of the stove q little, SO
chat the flames would shoot up; then you
could see some fifty or sixty little cans
al NC the STOVE, their owners standing
around, eagerly watching their stall OF
life ais it boiled. We easily detected g
new can. Sometimes officers from the
Potomac end of the room, their stoves
being full, would sneak q can on ours.
We would knock it clean across the
room. You may thisk this unkind, but
hadswe infringed on their stove, they
would have done the same thing.

greedy chuckles and gurglings Of de-
light one of the hungry ones dashed at
it, crammed o handful into his mou;a,
and crunched it up as though it were
some exquisite dainty, a fellow disciple
calmly stroking tho exterior of his
throat, with intent, l suppose, to lubri-
cate tho descent of the unwonted NOR
sells. A little child held up a snake or
sand-worm by the tail, placing the head
between his toeth, and guIped it glee-
fully down. Several aco!ytes came in,
carrying q big stem of the prickly pear,
or fico d'India, whose leaves ersl as
