Of the Minneapolis Hallowells, w. P. Hal
lowell WAS officer in the EiftX=fifth.

Of the Minneapolis Hallowells, w. P. Hal
lowell, was an officer in the Fifty-fifth.
The part played by the Hallowell family
in the war is shown in an interesting way
in letter in regard to the organization
of the Fifty-fourth regiment, written by
Governor Andrews Of Massachusetts, to
Francis G. Shaw, father Of Colonel Shaw.
Governor Andrews, the war governor Of
Massachusetts, had early advocated en-
listing colored men, but it was not until
the beginning of 1863 that he got permits
sion to do so, altho few contraband regi-
ments had been organized In the south In
1852 Governor Andrews went to work at
once. He wrote Mr. Shaw that he regard
ed the regiment he was about to raise as
perhaps the most important to be organ
lied during the whole war, as 1t was likely
to be model for all future regiments of
colOred men. In view Of this Governor
Andrews wrote, IT am desirious Of having
for its officers-particularly for its field
officers-young men Of military expert
ence, Of firm antislavery principles, am
bilious, superior to a vulgar contempt for
color and having faith in the capacity OF
colored men for military service. Such Of
ficers must necessarily be gentlemen OF
the highest tone and honor; and shall
look for them in those circles Of educated
antislavery society which, next to the col
ored race itself, have the greatest interest
| in this experiment.
Accordingly Governor Andrews, after
asking Mr.. Shaw's consent that his sor
should accept a commission as colonel Of
the regiment, tells him that for similar
reasons he had offered commissions to the
two sons Of Morris L. Hallowell Of Phil
adelphia, whom he described as Quaker
gentleman whose house was a hOsp1ta

Of colored blood is scarcely discernible and
as he was a resident at GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
and born In freedom, he could have en-
tered the army as a white man before the
organization Of the colored regiments. He
did serve as a scout with Fremont and
Rosecrans and took part in the engage
ment at Murfresboro.
The proposal to organize the northern
negroes interested Sergeant Harper great
ly, and after enlisting he helped with the
recruiting in Pennsylvania, for the regi-
ment was recruited all thru the north in
the states east Of the Mississippi The
regiments field of operations was the coast
| OF South Carolina and Georgia with one
expedition to Florida, but for two years it
was kept steadily at arduous and danger
GUS undertakings and saw as much fight
ing as the average of regiments whose
terms of service were longer.
| The martial spirit had stirred Sergeant
Harper 80 deeply that after his discharge
he was eager for more fighting. At this
time there was an instruction in progress
in Haiti and troops were being recruited
| In New York Sergeant Harper enlisted
and went to the island where he served for
two years as lieutenant Of marines under
Gomez. Returning to the United States
he entered the regular army, joining the
Twenty fifth infantry and remaining in
the service until 1894 when he was re-
tired. The last years Of his army service
were at Fort Smelling, where he was ord
nance sergeant.
! Mrs. Harper Is also entitled to all the
honors Of a veteran, for she has spent her
married life at an army post and all her
large family Of children were born in forts
and camps and she has known all the pri-
vations and hardships Of life on the plains
in a period when there was active service
and danger.

Among the Minnesota veterans of the

career began as a member of the famous

white colonel of the regiment, Robert G..
Shaw, became by his devotion to an ex-

Of the southern races Is the official
tongue of courtship. The old books
tell us that the women Of these lotus
( lands were ever pleasing to behold,
and that right valliantly did the
ancient knights vie with one another
for their favor. But this being ma
terial day, I shall not concern myself
with the ardor of by-gone gallants,
nor the charms Of beauties faded by
the touch Of old Father Time. Rather
will I put down in a plain way, an
account Of some Latin girls have
known In the flesh.
The Affair of Louisa's.
The first time saw Louisa was one
afternoon while T was writing in my
room at the house where I was living
in Francisco street. She was on the
yet hardly more than q dozen feet
away, SO narrow was the thorofare.
Louisa took notice of the plaza and
went inside. T took notice Of Louisa
anu TSCuTnSQ To lily DuI-
ing the months which followed, I feel
safe to say that this thing occurred
a thousand times. Several times an
hour, all day long and far into the
night, the trim little sentinel came out
to view the landscape DER. sEhe was
that prompt, believe I could have set
my watch by her coming and going.
And she was pretty. One Of my visit
ors saw her and remarked that she
was "a pippin." I guess that is some
thing nice, for Louisa is nice.
You could have knocked me down
with a feather when 7 found out that
she had been keeping this faithful
vigil In the mere hope Of catching
sight of man to whom she had never
spoken. Later when came to know
the family, the good mother told me
the particulars. One night while the
the young people were walking, he
turned to look after her. Ordinarily
this action should have held no spe-
cial significance-for it is next to i'm
possible for a Latin man to pass a
pretty girl without turning to look
after her. However, from this time
on, Louisa had no thoughts nor eyes
for any other man. He was too old
for her, and a man Of bad character,
but she blindIy made him lord, and
filled full her house of dreams with
thoughts Of him. They exchanged
messages Lhru lrAendS, as LaIln loVets
always do. and one day he came to
speak with her father. The sutton
was told to wait until the girl grew
older. Pale and trembling with excite
ment, she heard from her hiding
place behind the curtains, and nodded
him her pledge to wait as he passed
out. He staggered up the street,
y twisting his mustache and was soon
Dragging to his cronies that whenever
he made UP his mind to say the word
the old mans will would be Of no
avail. While he drank and boosted
Louisa cried and prayed. Dozens OF
times every day she looked from the
balcony to try and satisfy her hungry
eyes by the mere sight of him.

was a new ribbon in his horses name.
In the meantime. the little bride
was true to her dashing, faithless
master. But the song bird had lost
It's voice. She was waiting for her
baby, and upon it she would pour out
all the love that was boiling in the
warm little heart. Altho she was still
a child. her youth had flown out Of
the window. She had lived an hour
and now she must turn slave unto the
end. Antonio still takes his dashing
way up and down the winding streets
Of the musty old city. He is careful
and considerate Of his housekeeping
horse. It's coat is always sleek, and
there are many ribbons in it's name,
but over at the cigarette factory his
lawfully welded wife is working at
the bench to fill the hungry mouth Of
his lusty son.
Tales Adorn the Moral.
That affair of Louisa's as we'll as
the fleeing love of Antonio, are re-
ferred to here because the moral is oft
times adorned by the telling Of a tale.
All southern girls do not love so fool
ishly or d1sastrously as Louisa, nor do
all southern men answer to the name
of Antonio, or own to all his traits,
but these little chapters Of romance
read true of the land. The custims
are such that the courtships are af-
fairs Of the eye and not of the heart.
There is no freedom among the sexes,
because the loose character of the
men will not permit it, and on account
Of this lack Of acquaintance, there can
be no understanding. Marriages are
leaps in the dark. The girls are held
like dainty prisoners OF hope, forced
to look upon the world from the
height of a balcony, or to peep at it
thru squares Of lattice work. They
are not allowed to mingle among men
and consequently they know them not.
They remain apart, rearing their airy
castles and communing with their

less they demand more considera-

they resent unfanr treatment, they will

anyrace need a curb upon their selfish
instincts and there is nothing so slim

Of a decent woman. The Latin men
are so fond of women, that if the law
was laid down to them, they would

American man. If he marries her
when she is young, and takes her to
her new home in time for her to grow
into it's customs, it is claimed that she
will make him a most excellent wife;
that he may make of her just what he
preciate the difference between the
standard Of his country and that Of
her own, and render him a devotion
that will be very beautiful.
This is doubtless true, as proved by
the experience of some and the OBJ
servation Of others. but the average
American is a pretty busy fellow and
he does not like the idea of taking a
little girl to raise. This Is practically
what the job amounts to If she has
never been in the states. At home
she has never been allowed to use her
own Judgment in deciding any Ques-
ton; she has never had a bit of free

to take a music lesson. some one goes
with her. Her mother tells her every
thing she must do, as we'll as every
thing she must not do. When this
girl marries she will look to her hus-
band for orders just as she formerly
did to her mother. And she will obey
him. This might suit some Ameri-
cans, but our average young man
would like to feel, when he gets back
from the church where his wedding
took place, that he mas taken a part
ner into the firm instead Of a child to
bring up.

nection with another colored regiment, the
first recruited in the service Of the United
States. Colonel Trowbridge was the first
recruiting officer in what was then a du-
bious plan, undertaken, without specific
instructions, by General David Hunter.
Colonel Trowbridge, then a trusted order
ly of the general being in sympathy with
the plan, was detailed to enlist the first
company Of which he was to be cap
tain. The lack Of positive sanction for
the organization Of the contrabands led
to trouble with the regiment and the plan
stirred up tremendous row; hence, In
August 1852, three months after the In
ception Of the plan, the regiment was or
dered disbanded. But it happened that
Captain Trowbridge's company had been
detailed as a garrison Of ST. Simon s
island, and the order did not reach it..
Before Captain Trowbridge heard of the
! order it was reversed, and his company
was made the nucleus Of new regiment,
becoming Company A of the First South
Carolina, which afterward became the
Thirty-t third United States regiment.
Across Colonel Trowbridge's discharge
