AT CAMP AlGER,
The Connecticut Boys Tell How Hot

A letter received from member of Co.
K, LIST Connecticut volunteers, gives a
graphic pen picture of the way the ex-
treme heat of Camp Alger affects she

pest hill at the Cape. On the march
through Washington, on the way from
Mantle to Camp Alger. out of the 1900
men in the regiment. 40 dropped in their
tracks After GLOWING" account OF
the heat in the pital city, the letter
continues:
If Washington was hot. Dunn Lorlng
was hotter. You can readily see that
exhausted my vocabulary on thu heat OF
WASHINGTON and am unable to describe
tine next march without resortiEg to
decidedly NEUROLOGICAL language. When
half the distance to our camp had been
trayersed, the sky became suddenly over
cast. storm OF welcome fury blew up
and we stood out in field for thrse
mortal hours, while the rain pelted our
steaming brows. 1t didn't come down
in d .minutive squirts, nor yet in respect
able buoketfuls. 1t went back to Noachan
times and the windows of heaven slid
open as If they were CREASED. The clay
which had assaulted our nostrils, eyes and
ears now caked our expansive army snoeS
and weighted down our leaden feet with
a double load. We pitched our tents IN
a deserted cornf1eld, wrapped our fainting
forms in waterlogged blankets and slept
the SLEEP of the conuented swine upon the
thoroughly moietened soil of Virginia.
The next morning we had four men out
with loaded guns looking for the man
who wrote Garry Me Back to Ole Vir-
ginny."
We have four hours drill day In o
temperature that would make the fiery
furnace of Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego feel like q refrigerator. We
lived on hard tack and bacon, with fresh
meat twice o week. Every night we
silently steal off into clump of moth
eaten bushes and solennly kick ourselves
with studied care and assiduity for ever
being dissatisfied with our lot on the
shores of Casco Bay. We have nothing
left but the delightful memories of those
two months 1.-THE sun can't sweat those
out. When we get in from particularly
hot and dusty drill some one will suggest
q plunge from the rocks Of Willard, and
ali with one accord will relapse into
silent rsverie, broken only by monosyl-
liable ejaculation, which my curly train
ing will not allow me to repeat.

full because trite. Listen to the re-
ward which Milford, Del, woman
receives because she advertised. She
was a widow sad and lonely. When
evenings shadows fell she looked and
longed for the return of the husband
of her bosom, but he came not. And
she sat down to cheerless supper,
and companionless the evenings and
the mornings wore away.
Thus it might have gone on for
ever had not the newspaper that
enlightening and civilizing agency
come TO her assistance. She adyer-
tised. And why not ? She was vast

households bear. So she advertised.
And Of the replies there were seven
basketfuls. But as she only needed
one, she exercised care and Judgment

Publicly Punished,
Pekin, oct. 5-There Is an entire ab-
sense of excitement here, and the streets
are as quiet as those OF London The
decision of the Russian legation To IN
crease the strength of its escort or
guard Is calculated to have an in
furious effect in keeping up the fiction
of excitement. This step has 1blige /
the British minister, Sir Claude NJ.
Macdonald to follow suit, aud a de-
tachment of British marines has been
ordered to the capital for the protcc-
tion Of the legation of Great Britain.
The place where number Of Eu-
ropeans were recently insulted has neen
roped off, and inside of it the eight Of
tenders have been placed, wearing
heavy cages inscribed Punished for
assaulAng Europeans" The Chinese
foreig6ionlce has amply apologized for
the occurrence, and several regiments
are held in readiness in case of dis
orders

tion that the power of the dowager
