GOSSIP OF HIE CAMP.
From a Stuff Com Kpinulcnt.
Cump Algei, Va , May 27 Lat night
about 10 o'eloek. Just nftir eveijbody
but the guaid had gotten Into bed, a
partv of visltois looking for tlio Sixtj
tlfth, New Yenk, dune up to the Tliir
teentb's lines. A i on nil, who was one
of the guaid, stopped them with a loud
and Imperious ' Halt' Who's thele'''
Tlie visltms hesitated to llnd some
brief and fitting means of making their
Idcntit known 'Who's there?" le
pe.ated the sentiy in a loud and soine
what tiPinulous tone. "Wh.v -el -all-three

paity made ansvor. In a voice that
could bo hoard all ovoi the camp Mi,
Raw Reel ult bellow ed foi til ' Cor

camo fiom tho tents, within healing

"Foreoveral jenrs I had no cessation
cf the buffering caused by catarrh. I had
a scuso of f ullncsj in the head and ringing
In my ears. One of my nostrils was
tightly closed ho I could not breatho
through It, and I could not clear my head.
I tried several catarrh cures, but foiled to
get relief. Seeing accounts of cures by
Hood's Hauaparilla I determined to giro
it a fair trial. Alter taking a few bottles
I v.asnatUfled it had effected a cure, for
the catarrh no longer troubled mn n rar

for years. I am now able to do a hard

Hood's Pills casy buy' easy to take,
tlonrd Just to the cast of tho Thir
teenth, Is not waiting for hendquar
tcis' engineers to supply them with
wnter, but with commendable! enter
prise and ingenuity hnve lipgun to sink
artesian wells of their own. Yeste rdny
morning they drove nn Inch nnd u half
pipe eighteen feet through tho soft
ilny to bed rock nnd secured a copious
flow of water. In tho afternoon they
started anothor nt a different point In
the camp and when it is In woiklng
order they expect to hnvo wnter to
waste.
Work on another sK-lnch artesian
well Is being prosecuted In tho vicin
ity of tho Pennsylvania camp.
Aeljulnnt Mattes hns not by any
means given up hopes of organizing a
regimental band. The Hallste id band
or the majority of Its members, us
stated In n previous dlspttch, have
ttgteed to enlist in the Thirteenth ns
a body. Two strings uie being woiked
to get them accepted. One is to pio
vail upon tho war department to allow
them to Join ns u sort of fifth wheel;
the other Is to tnko them In as sub
stitutes for the eighteen men from our
loglmont who expect to be accepted nn
the division hesp!tnl coips. Colonel
Courson Is very nnxlous to have a regl
mentnl band, as the ilium corps Is
showing no signs of expansion At
piescnt It has only nine membus four
lifers, four ilrunimeis nnd a base elrum
nie r, nnel when It conies in contrast
with tho Flist, Now Jpispv, or some
other einck command which may have
twlre as mnn drummeis ns wo hnvo
musicians nil told. It makes the 'Pildo
of l'pnnsjlv.inla" feel veiy puny-lll.u
and cheap,
Suigeon Mnjor Paike's lapld ad
vancement Is n souieo of gieat pildo
to tho whole loglmont. To be made n
lulgnde suigcon one day and the next
day bo piomotpd to chief suigcon of
the division hospital is nttnluly a ills
tine Hon that any one might envv. It
mnv mean Dr. Paiko's divorcement
fiom the Thliteonth, as Colonel Gliaid,
the suigeon general of tho coips staff,
ivldencis an Inclination to keep Dr.
Paiko with him permanently. In that
case Lieutenant W. E. Kdlet, the
I senior assistant suigeon will succeed
to the position of loglmental surgeon
major, which he is tenipoiailly lining,
Lieutenant Geoige lilancli.it d will be-
!como the milking nsslstant suigeon

kind of thing
The levolt of the heispltal stewards
is spioadlng and It promises to assume
mull piopoitlon as to eompel Suigeon
Genual Glraiel to withdraw his odious
pioposltlon. The chief objection to the
sthenic is not so much that it lobs tho
sti winds of their non-com dignity nnd
depilves thnn of n swoiel. but that It
l educes thi'li pay fiom $13 a month to
