TURNED OVER THEIR MASCOT.
A Peacock Among the Presents he
ceiVed by Gen. Gordon.


cciVed by Gen. Gordon.
Among the priced possessions of the Sec
Louisiana Regiment was a peacock. The
bird belonged to the men of the hospital
corps, and was one of their chief cares and
delights. Cuba was the land of its nativ-
ity, and the bird abided in happiness until
the hand of the despoiler was outstretched.
The transition to the camp, thence 70 the
transport, and finally to camp at Sayan-
nah was easy, but when the regiment was
mustered out the hospital men could not
agree for time upon what to do with the
gaudy mascot. That is, the mascot had
been gaudy, but its tail feathers were lost
in transportation, sufficient care not haV-
ing been exercised in its handling
After the dispute as to who should have
the common property of the corps had
progressed for some time, and it was al
most upon the point of settlement through
the arbltrament of "craps," a happy
thought suggested itself to one OF the men,
and its disclosure secured him the plaudits
of the others. wen take it down and
give it to Gen. and Mrs. Gordon" And so
they took 1t and presented il TO those whom
they delighted to honor.
The hospital fellows thought everything
OF that bird. They cared for it carefully
and nurtured it tenderly, and one of them
actually fought for it on one occasion.
That was Ormsby, an Irishman of the
most interesting and pugnacious type. He
and several of his comrades were sitting
around the camp fire one night, talking
about anything and everything. Ormsby
CHANGED to glance around, and what he
saw was a plenty to start him going.
The others saw what Ormsby was af-
ter when they heard his exclamation. A
mans dark form was silhouHed against
the sky as he was making his way out
a limb to lift the peacock from its perch.
Coon out av thot, now" called Ormsby,
you're thrying to stale tn paycock." That
was the substance of what he said, but
1t was in much stronger and more force
full language. The soldier from the other
regiment descended, and Ormsby was
waiting for him. He laid him out. the
other fellows said, and then started in 90
bless out the guard standing near for his
negligence in allowing a man to steal the
hospitals "paycock roight under the very
noses av thim."

PICKING CENTURY BLOSSOMS.
Job IA Young Volunteer Believes He
Would Like to Have.

That the army is not school of energy
is a statement but few who know anything
about it would care to deny. The boys
all say it is the LATEST life in the world,
and that there is not enough doing, as
rule to keep them interested. The result
is that the soldiers become infected with
the slothfulness that of necessity becomes
one of their traits while wearing the blue.
Young fellows who were originally bun
dies of energy have had it all leave them,
and the desire CT their lives now is TO do
nothing.
A young soldier Of the Virginia regiment
was discussing his plans upon returning to
pursuits of peace when his command is
mustered out of the service. He has be
come a victim of the inervating influence
of martial life and his view of his abili-
ties and desires was summed up in his re-
mark that he thought he would look up a
job with florist to pick the blossoms from
his century plants.
