Object 70 Garrison Duty.

There is great excitement in the
camp OF the Twenty-6rst Kansas reg
iment at Chickamauga. The privates
have been getting up petition to be
sent to the war department at Wash
ington for the purpose af being RUS
} tered out, as they de net desire 10 do
garrison dVty. A vote WIS taken
among tie different companies and
over IS per cent expressed their desire
to be mustered out, saying that they
came to fight and not to guard forts.
The bays are quite incensed over
the stand tue officers have taken in
trying toput the regiment in garrison
duty, at which the boys all object.
The lieutenant colonel made a
speech to he boys on Saturday in the
morRiug telling them to keep quiet
awhile aud that they would 80 to
Lexington and that they would all
soon be mastered out. BY making
the speech he thought that heimight
delay the bows in getting in their pc.
titiOn for few days and by delaying
he thought the other regiments would
have theirs in ahead Of the boys and
be mustered uut first, which he hoped
would leave the 2lst regiment for
garrison du'y.
The officers are drawing big salaries
and it is claimed that is the reason
they want to stay, where the private
only draws SO per month, and have
wives and tu.ks to support at hsme.
They have better wages awaiting
them at home. The officers made nc
special efforts to get the boys to the
front, and NV that peace is declared,
they want to 20 to one Of the islands

COURAGEOUS HlNDus,

and REPTILES.


In some things the natives of Bengal
and Behar are wonderfully courageous.
and the bravest deed that | ever wit
messed says writer in Gentleman's
Magazine, was performed in the coolest
manner possible by two of my own do
mestic servants. One morning, while
seated in the veranda of my bungalow,
mad jackal rushed through the
grounds and went under a raised GO
down, which was close to the bunga-
low l left the veranda for my gun,
and on my return l discovered two of
my servants armed with hog spears
creeping under the godown until they
came within striking distance of the
jackal, when they quickly transfixed
him with their spears. The offer of
bank check on the Bank of England
would not have induced me to act in
the way that these brave fellows did.
An old Inihtar (sweeper), man of
the lowest caste in my service, who was
nearly bent double with age, was the
smartest hand at killing a venomous
snake that l ever knew. The old fell
low used to sit up at night in the fowl
house for the purpose of destroying the
cobras that came after the eggs; and
one morning before dawn l stepped
into the veranda of my bungalow in
time to see him pulling KARAT out of
hole with one hand, which grasped
the reptiles tail, while in the other
hand was held a stick, which promptly
descended on the karit's head as soon
as it appeared in view. 1t was all done
very neatly and smartly, and as quietly
as if the old man had been crushing a
beetle.
