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 men fiom Huffalo," one of the paity made ansvor. In a voice that could bo hoard all ovoi the camp Mi, Raw Reel ult bellow ed foi til ' Cor poinl of the guaid tlnoe men fiom Ruitalo!" The loar of laughter that camo fiom tho tents, within healing distance, staitled the visitors' horses. Now the b-woid of the camp Is ' Thiee nun from Ruifalo " The Sixtv -fifth.

Seeing accounts of cures by Hood's Hauaparilla I determined to giro it a fair trial.

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 and place will bo made for some' of our euiiiK local phsel.ins who mnv be In c lined to gold lace mid swoids and that 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 $JiJ, what other pilvatcs nn the hospital coips lecelvo Most of the stcwaids aio ell hot phvsielans or giaduates of eolligo.s of phaimao and as theli set vlie li of a piofi s-.iun.il naluie they feel they ought to bo jiald .icioidlng ly.
