The 29th Ohio Did Not Wait for Duty tc
Come to It.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The 18th
Ohio began its service i'll the Winter of
1861, '62 along the waters of the Potomac
and its tributaries and in the mountain
regions of Hampshire Co. 1t was on the
Romney expedition in West Virginia, on
the advance to Winchester via Little
Mountain and Martinsburg, and into the
Shenandoah. 1t was at the battle of
Winchester, where the Union army was
commanded by Shields and the rebels by
j. II. Jackson. 1t participated at Kerns-
town March %, 1862, Union victory.
After more marching, on June o, it was
engaged at Port Republic, where it lost
10 in prisoners. 1t fought at short range
in an open field against three times its
numbers for over four hours.
Again engaged without cover at Cedar
Mountain, Aug. 8, it lost heavily.
Its members bear unpleasant recOllec-
tons of the Hooker campaign in the
Spring of 1863, of suffering at Dumfries
especially, and of heavy losses at Chan
celIorsvile
On May it crossed the Rappahannock
and participated two months later at Get
tysburg.
After that it returned TO Virginia, went
TO New York to assist in duelfing the riots,
and finally found itself at Lookout Noun
tain and was engaged there and at Mis-
sionary Ridge and at Taylor's Ridge and
Ringgold.
Refreshments took place in December,
1853, and prepared for vigorous cam
paign for the Spring
On May 8 they started out and had
one OF the nastiest little fights of their
experience at Dug Gap, and came through
it CALAMITY. Every fourth man was killed
or wounded. At Resaca the regiment
fought again, and once more met loss at
Pumpkin Vine Creek, as it did at Pine
Knob, on June 10. The battles of Lost
and Kenesaw Mountains were participated
In, as was Peach Tree Greek. In fact,
the 18th saw about as much fighting on
that Georgia campaign as any other regi-
ment; It had all it wanted to do on the
march from Atlanta to the sea and
through the Carolinas. It was present at

speech. He began: Comrades. the 6Sth
Ohio needs just IS more men on its vet
eran rolls to enable us to go home on a
30 days furlough as a regiment" He then
devoted few moments in eXhorting US to
stand by the old flag, even if it should take
three more long years to vindicate its hon
or, and succeeded in arousing fresh en-
| thusiasm. Enlistments in the veteran serv-
ice now went on with renewed yigor, and
before the sun went down the regiment
had more than its required quota

Jan. the excitement of enliStinp in tho
veteran service had passed and everything
assumed its usual quiet. The officers, how
ever, had planned to give the boys grand
treat IN recognition of their patriotism.

We had become pretty familiar with the
hardships Of soldiers life In war times,
and whatever the novelty Of being sol
der, that occupied our thoughts while In
Camp Latta, there was none of It on the
bluffs of Vicksburg. However, here and
and there along the line comrade stepped
to the front Soon the line in front sweIled
to nearly half the regiment. Men were
there who had seen brothers 60 down at
the lannon's mouth. With the terrible
carnage of the Vicksburg campaign still
fresh in their memories, yet they were
willing to longer bare their bosoms in de-
tense of the old flag.
Those who re-enlisted brought their in
fuence to bear upon the rest of us, which
caused us to feel that our country's call
to them to stay by the old flag was nc
stronger than for us, and so the re-enllSt
ments began to increase. The question, tc
enlist or not to enlist, became the same as
in 1S61-the foremost one in our minds.
We seriously discussed the matter
among ourselves, and decided upon our
course of action. Those who felt that they
ought to enlist did so, and those who felt
that it was their duty, coupled with then
declining strength, TO return home to thelI
friends at the end of their first term, de.
clined to give their names for second
enlistment. Every day, however, the vet
eran roll increased in numbers, and every
day the roll of non-yets grew less, but still
we lacked the requisite three-fourths.
Christmas day our veteran roll had In
creased to nearly 800, and each was en-,
gagged in recruiting service.
Friday, Jan. l 1864, a day known
throughout the North as the cold New
Years, we were lying quietly in camp on
the bluffs of Vicksburg, breasting a pierc
ing cold wind from the river.
The time for becoming veterans would
expire on Jan. g, and as the date drew
near all possible persuasion was brought
to bear upon those who still held out. The
comrades who had again re-enlisted were
anxious to get the required quota, in order
that we might be able to return as an or
ganization to our homes on 4 80 days fur
Tough.

ordered to move our camp back to our

A MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE.
While our regiment was in camp near
the cemetery an incident took place which
still remains fresh in the memory of the
writer. A company of actors had come
down the river from the North and had
pitched their tent in the city. The COM
pitched their tent in the city. A perform
ance was given afternoon and evening and
always to goOd-sized audience, as the
boys patronized the company pretty liber-
ally.
Late one evening four boys were return
ing to camp, after attending the show, and
had reached point opposite the cemetery
when a heavy thunder storm burst upon
them. In the cemetery were a number of
vaults containing the embalmed bodies of
the dead The door of one vault was
standing ajar, and there the four boys
sought protection from the elements.
Hardly had they reached their refuge

A host or hostess has great latitude.
On formal occasions, when all the guests
come by invitation, he or she may make
introductions freely, always remember
ing that it is the wisest before doing SO
to obtain the consent of the two who are
to be introduced. AT dinner the hostess
should make sure that the two who are
to go out together have been introduced,
for it is awkward for two persons to sit
beside each other in ignorance of each
others name. AT dance it would be
less than kind to let girls and young men
who wish to dance so without partners
because they have not many acquant
ances. At general receptions or teas host
or hostess need make few introductions
Yet kindness of heart should lead them
to pay some regard to those who are un-
acquainted with the other guests. If
some of her guests are strangers in the
city, she should take especial care to in
troduce Them to Il few congenial people.
A hostess cannot always observe the rule
which forbids introducing two ladies or
two gentlemen who have long been resi-
dent of the same city. but let her think
twice before breaking this rule.-Leah
Lanceford in Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

PART II.

As Miss Desborough entered the iron
gates at the lower end of the park and
glanced at the interviewer cipher and
crest Of the Amelyns still above she
was conscious that the wind was blow
ing more chill and that few clouds
had gathered. AS she walked on down
the long, winding avenue the sky be-
came overcast, and in one of those
strange contrasts of the English climate
the glory of the whole day went out
with the sunshine. The woods suddenly
became wrinkled and gray, the distant
hills somber, the very English turf be-
meath her feet grew brown. A mile and
a half away, through the opening of
the trees, the west part Of the Priory
looked crumbling, ivy eaten ruin. A
few drops of rain fell. She hurried on.
Suddenly she remembered that the av-
enue made a long circuit before APP
preaching the house, and that its lower
end, where she was walking, was but
a fringe of the park. Consequently
there must be short cut across some
fields and farm buildings to the back Of
the park and the Priory. She at once
diverged to the right, presently found
low fence, which she clambered over,
and again found footpath which led
to stile Crossing that, she could see
the footpath now led directly to the
Priory, now grim and austere looking
pile in the suddenly detected landscape,
and that it was probably used only by
the servants and farmers.
A gust of wind brought some swift
needles of rain to her cheek. She could
see the sad hills beyond the Priory al
ready yelling their faces She gathered
her skirts and ran. The next field was
q long one, but beside the farther stile
was small clnmp Of trees, the only
ones between her and the park. Hurry
ing on to that shelter, she saw that the
stile was already occupied by tall but
bent figure holding u long stick in his
hand, which gave him the appearance
against the horizon of the figure OF

came nearer she saw it was, indeed, al
