The theatre was on the left.
Many funny occurrences helped 20
make it interesting around the telegraph
office. one Of the most striking things
was the democratic way in which wall

and all accepted with good grace the
'1evelling" process which all enlisted
men undergo. Among the orderhes de-

I induced the corporal OF the guard TO
take me TO Colonel Males tent and
found luckily that he had not retired
although it was then long after midnight.
The rumor was untrue. having originated
in a joke and the only means Of com
municating with TIE Times office was
TO 90 back to Falls Church and tele-
phone. The druggist OF that thriving
little town. Mr.. NJ. T.. Church, showed
a marked degree OF amiabiity although
he had lost much sleep on account Of

A HARD TASK.
Reporting the Third Virginia Court OF
Inquiry was by no means an easy JOp.
Just at the time IL began larger por-
ton of the camp had left Tor MiddletoWn
and the telegraph Office was removed
before the court adjourned. At best the
Office was two miles from division head
quarters at Dunn-LOring. When the ope-
rators left Camp Alger the railroad ope-
rator at Dunn-Loring would only accept
telegraphic dispatches subject 10 delay
and the same was true az Falls Church.
The afternoon papers were dependant
on the telephone line from Falls Church

matter as they received. but bright
stenographer at the Richmond end OF
the line facilitated matters Most of the
matter published I'm the Richmond morn
ing papers had TO be carried 10 Wash

Sensation of Hanging

A Captain who was rescued from
the gibbet at the intercession of Wis
count Turrenne, after being partially
hanged, related that having lost all
pain, in an instant, by being rescued
he had been snatched from glorious
light, the charm of which defed all
description. All victims of partial
hanging agree that the uneasiness is
quite momentary that a pleasant
feeling succeeds, and that various
colors start before the sight, casting
everything else in oblivion. The
mind averted from reality is engaged
in scenes most remote from that
which fills the eye of the spectator
the hideous gallows, and the strug-
CLING form.
