dimes to little Martha Ann Erlirhy
She is the bonnest babe i'll the village
The brightest, and sweetest too.
Like the midsummer skies arc her laughing
eyes.
SO beautiful, clear and blue
The feathery flakes of stainless snow,
Asffom Angels hands they come,
Are not more fair than this lassie sweet
The pride of the Erch home
The half blown buds of the moss ros. pink
Where the dew drops hide and seek,
Have not a softer, roster blush,
Than tho bloom on her dilDpled cheek
And many a curl of golden brown
Forms Il frame for the wnsome face
No Angel in heaven hath a soul more pure
No Fairy such artless grace.
And. was ever a heart so Slatlsone
So light. so free from care
As that of this blne-eyed darling,
with her crown of soft brown hair.
When gaze on this Suileless baby
Who knowcth no sorrow or cmc,
Into my heart uubidden
There stcaleth an earnest PRAYER
That He, in His infinite wisdom
Who ruleth the Starry dome,
May bless and protect little Martha
Tho pride OF the Erich home.

Bryan's Second in Command.

The N. Y. World of May 29th
contains good likeness of Gen.
| Victor Vifquain, who is second in
command of Col. Bryan's regi-
ment, and we see by the following
sketch of Gen. Vifquain that he
took a conspicuous part in the
battle that was fought near Ope~
lousas during the "late Hltnpleas-
antness,' which is designated as
Carencro in the sketch but gem
orally known as Bayou Bourbeux.
Many of the old residents of Ope-
lousas will recall this stirring in
cident of the late war, as our
Court House was filled with the
wounded in this spirited engage
ment-mostly Texas troops from
Generals Majors and Green's
commands, and our Public Gene
terry contains the graves of sever
al of the gallant men who were
killed or died from wounds re-
ceived in this engagement.
We republished a few months
ago an account of this battle cop
led from the Opelousas COURIER
of Nov. FL, 1868.
Gen. Victor Vifquain, who will
be lieutenant-colonel of Col. Will
liam j. Bryan's regiment of Ne
braska volunteers, is a veteran of
the civil war. Besides being
fighter and commander, he is an
amiable and courtly gentleman.
When Mr.. Bryan's idea of the
organization of regiment first
took form he was very anxious to
have Gen. Vifquain for his lieu
tenant, and asked him if he would
accept such a position. With
courtly bow Gen. Vifquain an
swered:
eff man who came within a
few votes of being Commander
in-Chief of the Army and Navy of
the United States can take the
position of colonel [ can certainly
afford to take the position of |
lieutenant-colonel under him."
Gen. Vifquain was born in
Brussels, Belgium, in 1888. He
enlisted in the Union army in
1861, became colonel of the Nine
5y-seventh Illinois Volunteers,
md was breveted in succession
major, lleutenant-colonel and
origadier-general. He received a
medal of honor from Congress
FOR leading a charge on Blakely,
April 9, 1865, and capturing a
Confederate battle-flag.
An old soldier in Lincoln re-
ates the following incident:
"It was Nov. 8, 1868, at the
,attle of Carrion Crow, in Lou
siana. Vifquain was then acting
nspector-general on Gen. Bur-
ridges staff. The Confederate
1en. Green had made it very
warm for us and gun was we'll
high captured. The horses had
,een killed. Vifquain had his
lorse hitched to the gun on one
ide and had men to tug ON the
'ther. Vifquain mounted his
teed and off they went with the
,un, with the Confederates not
wenty yards away and firing like
'lazes. It was a miracle he was
lot killed, but he was not even
though his horse was
hot. -
Gen. Vifquain was Consul and
,onsul-G General at Colon and Pa
lama under Cleveland, and he
an be considered a yellow fever
He was a farmer until
879 and was one of the pioneers
f Nebraska. In 1875 he started
he first daily Democratic paper
d Lincoln, and edited it until
$780,. when he was sent to Spanish
america.
