and happy and even be coming reconciled to the fact that our souls almost as well as our bodies are not our own We atrived here riday shortly after the dinner hour after an uneventful trip with the exception of several pleasant hours in Red Wing where we were joined by several other companies of the Second and were met by rank Gillrup and Russell Thompson who had gone ahead to get things ready' Since then our time has been occupied with the usual routine of military camp life 1 The reveille calls us at 5 a at 6 we breakfast at 63000 practice and at 7:50 guard mounting At 8:40 occurs the most difficult and arduous of the duties the of the which lasts until nearly 11 and many and ingenious are the excuses offered for escaping it The only other drill of the day is the dress parade which occurs at 6:40 and is followed by the guard mounting Lights are supposed to be out at 10:30 but it is (wonderfdl how much noise and racket can be made dark and how long it can be kept up Company is the youngest compa ny in the regiment but it holds its end up with many of the older ones and Capt Ransom has received many com pliments from hiS' brother officers for the fine appearance the company makes and the work it does Its inspection marks compare favorably with the nfhftr pnmnonioa Since our arrival our boys have re ceived what seems to them marked and unusual attention in the matter of guard duty and other work The first night in camp corporal Carlson and privates uller and Cool were detailed for guard duty and Much to Mert disgust he was assigned to the position of color sentry which it is needless to state is a first class pure and simple in fact all there is to do is do nothing very industri ously Last night sergeant Sawyer was sergeant of the guard and tomorrow Lieut Simonson will act as chief offi cer of the guard Today corporal Gill rup is general Bend's special orderly and it is very much to be feared that a bigger helmet will be required for the young gentleman Corporal Carlson has been appointed sergeant and pri vate ryslie advanced to corporal If any of our folks at home think we are living on stewed prunes and bakec oeans iec mem read our bill

Jn his catridge box I actually thought the officers would go wild but they recovered finally their equilib rium During inspection of quarters today Col Bobleter opened red Mal knapsack and from the remark he made it was evident he like its contents It the kind he is used to Camp Lakeview is situ ated on a level plain between lake Pepin and the bluffs Although the' view is really magnificent from these bluffs all of the boys who have made the ascent have announced their inten tion of never doing it again They all returned and have been on their ever The chief regret just now that the boys have is that this kind of camp life to last longer Camp Lakeview Lake City une 23 Thos Purdie a Hero and Lieuten ant of John Brown at Osawatomie We enjoyed a rarely enjoyable hour last week with Thos urdie the well known reeborn He and his brother John were with John Brown during the Kansas war in 1856 and fought with the old hero at Osawatomie and his reminiscences were intensely interesting Mr Purdie was a lieutenant in the company of Captain John Brown Jr son of the veteran and was a partici pant in all the hardest battles' the most relentless contests and in all the persecutions inflicted on the freesoilers py the southern ruffians who sought to make of Kansas a slave state He per sonally well knew John Brown and did not like him very well not so well as he did Captain John Bro wiV Jr and the other sons He thought the old hero was too rash and unrelentling too arbitrary domineering and reck less Yet he says fear was unknown to him his devotion to' the cause be had espoused was a consuming passion and he believed and often declared that he was commissioned by the Almighty to command the hosts that should fron the slaves John bravery and iron nerve were known to all his men As an instance ot the latter Mr Pur die saw him stand while shaking with ague and with his rifle shoot at a mark at a goodly distance and be hit it every lime Mr Purdie is not yet an aged man he is a man of education a good public speaker and withal so modest that to meet him one is hardly able to realize that he was a hero among heroes in one of the most stirring and revolutionary eras of American
