 The Eighth regiment, c. ", which was organized at Camp Buckingham, Hartford in September, just thirty five years ago, has g. fine record. The first commander was Colonel Edward liar land of Norwich. The regiment left Hartford, October F, and after fort nights instruction at Jamaica, L. l., it proceeded to Annapolis. It joined the Burnside expedition in January, 1862, and assisted in the capture of five hun dred confederate troops at Newberne, N C., on March H. Two privates were killed and four wounded in the regi- ment's first baptism of blood Colonel Harland was as cool as a cucumber in the attack upon the defenses.

be murderer. He found the door Of the shop
locked, and, receiving no response broke
open the door. Heminger was sitting partly
on the edge OF bed and had a revolver
in his hand. AS the officer stepped for
ward Heminger placed the muzzle in his
mouth and fired.
The explosion put out the light in the
room. and in the semi-darkness the Off
GERS could see the man sitting upright and
apI a-ently staring into their faces. They
put the handouts on him, but when a light
was secured they found they ad placed the
manacles On a dead man.
The bullet had struck the back part of
his mouth and lodged in his brain. and he
must have died instantly. In a trunk was
found another revolver, about S16O and

SPANISH LADIES AwHEEL.
Fair Sex of Valencia Taking Up the
Fad.

Consular Agent Mertcns, at the port Of
Valencia, Spain. reports TO the Department
OF State that the ladies of Spain are taking
up bicycles, and he thinks this will help
toward removing that barrier which pre-
vents them from going out unless attended
by some responsible duenna.
American wheels are unknown in Spain
yet, though an inferior French machine
called .'rAmericaine," and bearing a
spread eagle, with the United States coat
of arms, is extensively advertised.
There is said to be a good chance Tor our
wheels in Spain, as Germany is barred out
by tariff discrimination, and the French
and English wheels are unsatisfactory.
Consular A gent Mertens also reports that
the shoemakers in Valencia show a decided
preference for an article OF shoemakers'
wax labelled, Superior American wax"
with stars and stripes, etc, which he is con-
tident never came from the United States.
AT any rate, the field is there for the real
American article, and the trade of all the
shoemakers Of Spain can be had for the
asking.
