They discussed the subject Of snakes and

together under the shelter of a wall with the
happy consciousness that there would, in all
human probability, be no grand rounds to dis
turb them.
brought only the light to show how unhappy
the camp was. There was no Joy in the day;
the light that filtered through the leaden,
dripping clouds served but to accentuate the
miserable condition of things. The only ad-
vantage 1t proved was to enable the plodders
to avoid puddle3 over foot in depth and to
pick out mud paths drawing less than six
inches OF slush. One-half of the brigade got
their shoes on while the other half, after tug
ging until straps were broken, leather rent, or
muscles exhausted gave it up as bad job and
decided to go barefoot. These proved to be
the happier in the long run, for with their
trousers rolled to their knees they splashed
and stopped about at their case and without
any of the discomforts attendant upon soaked
cloth. heavy shoes and the necessity of picking
their way. All roads, to them. led to Rome, and
they went floundering through the mud with a
careless ease that was provoking to those
whose attire forced them to look before they
stepped
THE TOUR TO BREAKFAST
was struggle. 1t had lost all the elements OF
a march, and the forms that filed through the
landish outlines. Boots were at least 500 above
par, and some extraordinary bargains were
clinched for these most desirable articles of
wear.
Its too bad" said Gen. Ordway, as he rode
up to headquarters Office for breakfast and
joined the group of officers on the porch.
Here We have spent half the week getting
ready to loaf. After all of our trouble and ex-
pense, after all the discomforts and incon-
veniences, it is decidedly hard that we should
be cheated out OF the benefits of the camp in
this way"
THE BATTERY TO RETURN by WATER.
The general came to the conclusion this
morning that to send the battery home by road
On Monday would be inhuman and uselessly
cruel. SO he decided to take immediate steps to
provide other means for their transportation
to the city, and Immediately after breakfast
went to town on the Law to make arrange
ments with one of the steamers to carry the
battery back by water. He returned to camp
by the next boat and was absent from the fort
but about two hours and half 81

The cavalry, however, will undoubtedly re-
turn to town as they came-by road, and
they are looking forward to an awfully nice
ride. Travellers who have reached the fort by
road during the past twenty-four hours have
reported the mud to be fully three feet deep in
some places. But the cavalrymen are having
plenty OF practice before they leave as they are
using their horses all the time in order to avoid
the mud. Some of the horses have had no ex-
perlence whatever in mud travelling and they
founder around with sufficient force to splash
their riders with mud from head to foot. as
well as any foot passengers who may be foun-
dering in the neighborhood. When the bovs
see horse coming. they break for shelter.
A PROPOSED PARADE IN THE WHITE LOT.
The general is quite enthusiastic over prom
osition that has been made to him to have the
brigade turn out in force some day during the
fall and give full dress parade in the white
lot, so that the people who did not have n
chance to witness that ceremony in the caun

Bailiff Kendig was near the witness stand in
the Police Court this morning twisting his
moustache, when a neat-looking colored girl

Gen. Ordway had de-

account of the rainy
weather and the mud
in the camp. When this
was told the general
he laughed heartily and
remarked that there

the ear-marks of be-
longing to that fam
lily. These stories, he
said, start from moth

Some Of the soldier boys who have gone over to

made the trip by boat but it remained for two
artlleryn,en-Rebstock and Schladt-to come
back to camp on log. There were no boats
to be had when they got ready to return, and
they did not feel like walking. 10 they launched

AN INSIDE DRIrI-

An open fly of one of the tents down in the
first regiment brought an interested crowd of
spectators to view the celebrated 'sinside drill,
of the inhabitants. This drill was very we'll
performed, and ELECTED great applause from
those who stood outside in the rain and gave
various suggestions as to the wisest limit. the
advisability of opening" or the folly of stick
ing on an ace.
PREVAILING GOOD HUMoR.
There was prevailing good humor through
out all this discomfort, and laughter with a
genuine ring rose on every hand Here and
there groups of unusual spirits gathered
around the flames and rendered music OF all
varieties, lending an air of cheerfulness to the
rather dismal scene. In some places where
the mud was not more than inches deep the
men started war dances around the fires, clad
In the weirdest of CARDS, making pictures
worthy the brush OF great artist.
AFTER TAPS.
Taps brought almost perfect silence. The
work of splashing and pulling through the
mud had made most of the men so tired that
they, were only too glad to creep between the
blankets and get to sleep. There were no in
who ventured forth from their tents after the
hour were unmolested. Several parties
sneaked out into the woods for fuel, and the
sound OF axes rang out in chorus with the
frogs as tree after tree was felled to feed the
dying fires.

EFFECT OF THE MOISTURE on THE BAND.
The continued downpour has put an end to
one OF the most interesting of the many seances
which draw large audiences Beneath the
shade Of grove Of trees which is directly be-
tween Gen. Ordway's headquarters and the
camp road the band has been accustomed to
practice each morning. 1t was pleasant to be
there Prof. Schroeder set the fashion of at
tending the matinee without a coat and two or
three of his bandsmen carried the thing a little
further by emitting their vests On Tuesday

What the next omission would have been had
the weather continued hot no one knows, but
the rain came and the bandsmen retired to
their tents.
EXTRA FINE GUARD MOUNTS.
Some of the guard mounts put up by the
militiamen are extra-ine and have attracted
praise from headquarters. This was especially
true of the National Fencibles, whose tour of
guard duty on the exterior beat ended this
morning. Col. Lemly said that it was as near
perfect as he had ever seen and that it had
never bean surpassed within the range of his
experience. AS a result of this praise Captain
Domer, who acted as officer of the day, is now
about the happiest man in camp. He justified

the twenty-four hours.
SAVED FROM A COLLISION.
Cadet Hine tells a story of one company de-
tailed for guard duty that he inspected and in
structed that is provided with an extremely
near-sighted first sergeant whose powerful
glasses are not quite strong enough as yet for
military camping purposes. He was leading
his men along the turf getting them into line
in, as he supposed, fine style, and was bearing
his head so high in the air with pride that he
could not get focus on a -four barrel that
stood directly in his line of march and only a
few steps away. The instructor. by making a
gigantic leap ahead, managed to kick the barrel
out OF the way just in time and thus saved the
command from a collision that might have had
serious results-to the sergeant.
