AT CAMP AL6ER,
Bio Celebration Over the Santiago
Victory, July 4th.

To THE ED1roR:-At last our boys
are on the move. The sixth Massa-
chusetts, sixth Illinois and eight Ohio
regiments under command of Brig.
Gen. Garretson have been given orders
to move at once. They go to New
York where they board the St. Paul
and Duchess and 90 direct to Santiago.
There will be about 1000 in all and
they are all jubilant over the news.
The first Rhode Island, Sixty-fifth
New York and first New Jersey bri-
gade are all under orders to move at
any time.
The "Glorious Fourth" was cele-
brated royalty at our camp yesterday
The morning was a round of explo-
sions and noise, and the boys began
to feel weary, when something hap
pened to turn the afternoon into pan
demonium. Several of the colonies
of the commands received dispatches,
about 2:3O p. M, to the effect that
Sampson had won great victory and
that Santiago bad surrendered. This
was given to the boys. The men of
each regiment headed by their band,
marched around the camp, bowling,
singing, yelling and cheering 1t was
a great celebration while it lasted; the
troops simply went crazy with joy and
the $1,000 in the second army corps
showed their appreciation of the
victory.
"Horray for Sampson"
"He's all right"
who's all right
Sampson"
"Well we guess"
yankee Doodle" was the only air
during the afternoon. The band
played it, the boys sang it and the air
was impregnated with it. In the even
ing the boys enjoyed themselves by
setting off fireworks.
Gen. Goblin has been chosen our
brigadier general. He has seen much
service in the civil war and knows how
to handle troops. He has been COM
mander general over the National
Guards for thirty years or more, and
all the boys welcome him back again.
The heat was terrible down here
the last few days, and many of the
boys we're overcome by it on last Fri
day. The thermometer registered 1O4
degrees in the shade. 1t is much
cooler to-day.
Earnest Davis has been promoted
to regimental stable boss, as he has
had much experience with horses and
knows how to take care of them.
Our regiment is getting paid this
afternoon, and the boys are all feel
ing good over getting some OF that
ready cash once more. Some of our
bows are home on furloughs for few
days.
One company has been on provost
guard duty for nearly twenty days.
That is to guard all out posts leading
into camp from Washington. No
soldier can leave camp without pass
from his colonel and if he is caught
without one, he is put in the guard
house, and also guard is put on each
street to see that no disturbance is
caused on the car.
The most of our boys had quite a
run the other night. The sixth Penn

Il know two girls who used to live

"She did quite right. I'm not going
to tell her that you have talked about

The girl was silenced, II not con-
WINGED. and Miss Rollins heard no
more OF the ghost until the night
when she saw him for herself.
That was the night before Christ
mas. She came in late from the
theatre-she had invited Mrs. Bowen
to go with her and they sat in the
parlor awhile talking over the play.

over 1t. The ghost recovered in time
for hearty dinner, but Miss Rollins
was still very pale and she trembled
quite perceptibly when Mrs. Bowen
presented the ghost.
They were alone in the parlor for a
few minutes after dinner when Mr..
Dernell. deliberately crossing the
room. stood before Miss Rollins.
Don't you know me. Mary?"
"Is it-Howard?" she asked, with
quivering lips.
at is Howard, Mary! want you to
forgive me-"
She said nothing-just sat there, a
rale, sad-faced little woman. not the
firm, decided little old maid OF the last
fifteen years.
Al length she rose from the chair
and tried to pass him.

II wish I could say no, Howard,
but It would not be true. l have been
weak enough to keep on loving you!
"Then l will not let you go-you are

ding and I will do what can to atone
for all these wasted years. You wont
say no. Mary dear?"
She did not say anything at all, FOR
the tears came. choking her voice. but
relieving her overcharged nerves.
A few evenings later there was a lit
tie wedding in Mrs. Bowen's parlor
and the rest OF Miss Rollins New

trip. in which she was not obliged to
take half-price seats at the theater, OF

She shuddered little as she seated
herself at the old-fashioned desk and
commenced to write. She glanced
at the closet door several times and

ink dried on her pen just because the
thoughts wouldn't come fast enough

Simple Tricks That Can He Easily Per formed Though They Look Difficult. It is really very strange, said Har- old "how long person may look at Q thing without seeing it.

 "Ch, they're not worth it, Haroldl" replied the little fair haired girl who lay curled up in the big library arm chair. Twas only thinking what queer old things eggs are sometimes. ,
 Very queer indeed, especially if they re old, assented Harold gravely.
 At that birthday party Cousin Eva gave last Wednesday-you couldn't go, you know, because your arm had been hurt playing football-there were some of the queerest acting eggs you ever saw. You should have seen how they be. hayed," said Alice.
 But I never saw eggs act at all, J cried Harold. 'aYou really surprise me, Alice. Of all the tranquil, harmless, inoffensive, quiet sort of living orea- lures ever came across, eggs break the record. ]"
 But these weren't living they were boiled, " said Alice. "I don t think that explains matters, began Harold, but Alice went on unmindful of the inter- ruption. When we had our boiled eggs, Cousin Edith took two of them, and then she told us the story about Columbus and his egg. Columbus said he could discover America, you know, and they said he couldn't and that you might as we'll try to make an egg stand up on end Columbus said that was nothing; he could do it, and he smashed his egg right down so it broke in the

end of 1t, and his egg stood up. Just think of it, Harold-on clean table, cloth, and likely as not the egg was soft boiledl We'll, Cousin Edith said that as time went on and people progressed in the arts and sciences they learned more about eggs than their aunt's sisters knew.
 "Aneestors?" said Harold inquifingly.
 "Auntss sisters, retorted the little girl quickly, "and that we could man. age the egg trick much better nowadays. She stood one of her eggs up on its lit tie end and didn't break it either. Then she made it leaA over, aud it stayed that way and didn't roll down. She took another egg, balanced it on its end and put the first egg on top, and they both stood up, one on top of the other. Aft erward she built up the goblets the queerest wtay, and balanced the egg on them and on the edge of the mouth of the decanter of milk, and it stayed there, leaning over, but never fell, and --oh, she did all sorts of things like ! that.
 There is no trick of such simplicity so easily performed that is as effective in puzzling, interesting and amusing a party of childr.n as the antics of the eccentric eggs which Alice was at tempting to deserihe.
 The eggs to be used must be blown. Make small perforations in the egg at either end, and, holding it over a cup or some other receptacle, apply your 1 lips quickly to one of the holes, and with your breath force the contents out
 of the other. Stop up one of the perfora. tions with white wax and drop into the
 other the smallest shot you can procure,
 until the weighted end makes the egg
 stand securely in any position in which
 it may be placed, then stop up with I your wax the other aperture, and your
 trick egg is complete.
 Il If shot is not to be procured, common
 sand will answer. As it is much lighter l than the leaden shot, however, it will
 require more of it to accomplish the purpose.
 The eggs are brought upon the table
