We were to meet at a certain part OF

Trondhjem, the carriages which had
been on hand at the hour ordered by
the Cock agent. had become tired of
waiting for us, and gone back to Their

The Sd Mass. Cav, with the excep-
ton of three companies, /, L and NJ,
was organized as the 41st Mass. at Box
ford and Lynnfield. from August to
November, 1852, and mustered out as
battalion of six companies Sept. 2S,
1865. Its designation was changed to
the Sd Mass. Cav. July %, 1868. Co
A, 33d Mass, organized at Boston in
August, 1862, was assigned to this regi-
ment as Co. 1; A and B, I'd Mass. Cav,
unattached, Gulf Squadron, organized
at Lowell in December, 1861, was as

tered out in December, 1864, and NJ in
January, 1865, and two new companies
were added to take their places in Feb
ruary, 1865. The Sd Mass. Cav. was
commanded by Col. Thomas E. Chick
ering, who resigned September, 1864,
succeeded by Col. Lorenzo d. Sargent,
discharged March 10, 1865. Col. Burr
Porter, who succeeded him, was dis
charged July 81, 1865. and at the time
of muster-out Lieut.-Col. Frederick G..
Pope was in command. The regiment

the houses were generally without color
in their cheeks, and looked careworn
and thin. The scenery was VERY pretty,
and one view of the river Mid and the
surrounding country was charming At
the Falls we found little roadhouse
or restaurant, where we got a really
superior cup of coffee, the best we have
had for some time. As good coffee is
almost necessary TO EliZabeth's happi-
ness, and as she has made great and
most successful struggle lately TO face
life braVely without it, / was genuinely

OF his dazzling smiles, showing his dis
tracing dimples, and turned his horses
heads in the direction of the town.
The Cathedral at Trcndhjem is the
finest and grandest church in Scandi-
navia, and the Norwegians are very
proud of II. 1t is built of limestone
and marble, both of which the country
furnishes, and was founded way back in
the early days of Trondjhem's history,
as have said before. From time to
time Il has been enlarged, as many
times injured by fire and lightning, and

Editor National Tribune: Please give

known as the Louisville Legion. If any
comrades of Co. II should S7a ttis, I
wish they would write 70 me.-Ainor
McLain, Ferndale, Wash.
The 5th KY. one Of the fighting regi-
ments, was organized at Camp Joe Holt.
Sept. 9, 1861, and mustered out Sept
IA, 1864. 1t was commanded by Coils.
Lowell H. Rousseau, Harvey n. Buck
ley and William w. Berry in succession.
1t was the timely arrival of the 5th on
the field of battle that changed Shiloh
from defeat into victory. At Stone
River 1t lost g killed, 80 wounded and
2s missing out of 320 engaged. The 9TH
suffered its severest loss at Chicka-
mauga-14 killed, 70 wounded and SO
missing. Maj. Charles L. Thomassen
was killed in this battle 1t fought at
Missionary Ridge and thru the Atlanta
campaign, where 1t did brilliant work.
Its total percentage of loss. considering
its numbers. was exceeded by few regi-
ments in the whole army. 1t belonged
to Woods Division, Fourth Corps, and
lost 157 killed and Jas from disease,
etc Its total of killed and wounded
was 5S1, and 81 of its members died in
Confederate prisons.-Editor National

Editor National Tribune: Please give

w. Berghtman, Dryad, Wash.
The 12lst Pa, a fighting regiment,
was organized at Philadelphia from Au-
gust to September, 1862. and mustered
out June 2, 1865. 1t was commanded
by Coils. Chapman Biddle. Alexander
Biddle and James S. Warner in success
sion. This plucky little regiment. never
with full complement OF men, d.stin-
guished itself at all times and sustained
a heavy loss. Its first battle was Fred
ericksburg, where it lost IA killed, ia
wounded and 10 missing. At Gettys-
burg the regiment went upon the field
with only 263 officers and men, and OF
this number IL were killed, 106 wound
ed and 81 captured or missing. 1t
fought in all the battles of the Fifth
Corps, and on October. 1864, showed
only 80 men present fo~ duty. 1t be-

even the scenery at that point being
quite tame and uninteresting for Nor
way
But il the scenery was tame at Torg-
hatten. ii grew wonderfully beautiful
as we steamed away from it. Eliza
beth and 1 sat silent in our chairs, en-
tranced with the perfect iovellpess of
it all, ''rapt in the wonder OF 1t" The
great rocks which have not left us a
moment since we struck this coast now
took on the most heavenly colorS, shad-
ing from gray to a soft purple. At their
base and in the numerous valleys be-
tween were the little redi and yellow
houses of which / have spoken, of the
simplest architecture, with few tiny
trees about, sometimes little patch of
grass and sometimes not. I'll tell you
what they made me think of, and Eliza
beth agreed with me-those toy houses,
trees, animals, etc, that came in box
together which we used to set up and
play with as children. Tho as unlike
Japan as anything could possibly be,
yet, somehow, the scenery impressed
me in much the same way, sug
gesting beauty rather than strength.
A mist hung over the rocks, and some
times thru this as thru gauZy
curtain we could see another line
of great rocks behind them, high
er and more rugged, of all conceivable
shapes, their tops and sides covered
with snow. Sometimes verdure-covered
| rocks and snow-splashed rocks would
be jumbled up together in the widest
sort of way, making picture of unsur-
passed charm and beauty. Then the
scene would change, and for awhile,
perhaps while passing thru a ford, the
| rocks would become higher, bolder,
rougher, with no signs of human habi-
tation anywhere, and the imagination
could easily picture this the home of
| the rough, strong gods of the Morse
mythology, of Odin and all his tribe.
Frequently we glided along so quiet
| ly that we seemed scarcely to move,
and the picturesque little brown-sailed
| boats out in the blue water looked ex-
actly as if they were being drawn across
the stage of theater, so perfectly
without motion was the ocean. 1t was
an afternoon never to be forgotten for
perfect beauty of an inanimate charac-
ter. for never human being or an ami
NAL of any kind did we see during the
whole time. The most impressive thing
about this coast is the absence OF any
| appearance of life which makes you
| feel as If you were looking on paint
ing only or on make-believe land. II
is melancholy and depressing: at least,
There are bits of soft and
charming beauty, such as 1 have
tried to describe; but generally the great
snow rocks look down upon you in a
sort of relentless way, giving you the
idea of a great, cruel, primitive force,
of fight to the finish between nature
and man.
| Elizabeth has just looked up from
| her book and asked me if I am ever
going to stop writing. Il hope you have
not tried to describe this scenery" she
said, because you will only make a
mess of it. See, 'Tootsy' is all ready to
go ashore at Tromso. She has actually
! got clean dress on, but did you ever
see the equal of that hat?"
| We are in sight of Tromso now
| Good-by for the present.

SEEKING The MIDNIGHT sun.
One of The National Tribune People Touring the Far North

Government buildings, which were so
designated by a gold crown on the
'front.' and near the top of each. But
what pleased us more than anything
else was the beautiful flowers which
filed every window of every house in
the town. Even the smallest and poor
est houses had them, not in one or two
windows. if you please, but in every
one that faced the street, and yoH don't
know how pretty and gay it made the
place seem. We are told that tbs is
more or less the case all thru the north
ern part of Norway, in places where
there are but a handful of people and
where existence seems nothing Sut the
hardest kind OF a struggle with the ele-
ments. Under such surroundings the
little pot of bloom in the window, the
one bit of color in all the grayness Of
rock and ford, must take on touch
ing, even pitiful aspect, showing the
natural craving for beauty which seems
to be planted in the hearts of all Cod s
people, whether they dwell in the land
of soft zephyrs and roses or the land of
rock and perpetual snow.
There are two principal things for
the tourist to do in Trondhjem, one to
visit the Cathedral, the other to take
the ride to the Falls. We had on board
