What corps can beat this record ? Mrs. Hayes, known among the soldiers under her husband's command as the "Mother of the Regiment," won the sobriquet in the following way; A half­ witted fellow was told by his comrades upon her arrival in camp that she had come to do mending. In good faith he carried his blouse to her to mend. After a moment's thought she saw the situa­ tion, and determining to save him from ridicule she mendfed it as if it were really her business. The men were ashamed, but, delighted with her way of treating the matter, gave her the above title. A Soldier's Bomaace- Col. Graves, speaker of the lower house of the Minnesota Legislature, has had a strangely romantic career. He was a gallant soldier in the late civil war, and arose from a private to the rank of colonel. Gen. Terry has recently said of Col. Graves that he was one of the brav­ est and shrewdest of the Colonels with whose career he became familiar daring the war. "He's small in stature,'" said the Gen­ eral, "but he was a great fighter." Col. Graves first met his wife upon a Southern battlefield. She is the daugh­ ter of General Tatinan, and she was the wife of another man the day she first saw Col. Graves. Their meeting was both sad and romantic. Her husband had been fatally shot, and while she stood by his side in anguish, waiting for the last heart-throb she knew must come very soon, Col. Graves was brought hi. He was insensible from a fearful wound in the left breast. Thus Col. Graves and the lady who is now his wife became ac­ quainted under circumstances most ter­ rible, but later on the friendship ripened into love. Mrs. Graves is her husband's senior by fifteen years.

Up to one o'clock of the morning- of the in­ surrection there were probably not two doien men who were fully informed of the plan of Hanchette and his co-partners Another score of men had learned through these that an "indefinite some thin^ intended to release the prisoners, wasm an embryotic state. Until this time, had the injunction of the leaders been faithfully regarded, the feat would have been known to those only, who should become fully committed to its Krosecution. One member of the band as stated that a solemn oath was re­ quired of liim at the time of his admission to their companionship. Without ques­ tioning this statement, I must express the belief that this was not universal nor even usual. In the majority of cases the only pre-requisite was a positive knowl­ edge by some one that the intended new- member was a person of unquestionable bravery, intelligence, and discretion, and that no person could be introduced with­ out the consent of the leader, who deter­ mined to limit the membership up to the night of the assault to the minimum number necessary to carry out his plan. Several of those who were participants in the capture of the guards were entirely unacquainted with the existence of any plot until only a few hours before it was carried into execution. Neither Han­ chette nor his aides fully comprehended the hopelessness of turther effort wheu they failed to secure the relief guard. So many hours and days of intense, absorb­ ing thought and plauiiirig had been de­ voted to the purpose; seeinuiatF^NOcare- fully had all ihe minutiie beenftonsidered, so fully had the leaders convinced them­ selves of ultimate mwy#, es easily !lad the guards within the brick Walls been overpowered, they seemed pfliniW^ed that only an interruption and iOt a defeat had been encountered. Their convictions and previous success had given their hopes a momentum not arrested by the grave misfortune that prevented their exit from the prison. A majority, how­ ever, who had thus far been active par­ ticipants, as soon as they comprehended the insurmountability of the obstruction ifrpaiihlyaad, w withdrew from to defeai and others. Seeing their forces 'melted away, they called again and again upon their fellow-prisoners, the most of whom until a few minutes ago had been sleep­ ing, to join with them in another effort to break out from the prison. Previous to the incoming of the guard there had been little more of noise and confusion than ordinarily obtained in that densely crowded prison, that human ant-hill. Even the cries uttered by the struggling sentries as they desperately strove to throw off their assailants caused but little excitement among those captives not informed of the plot, and awakened but little suspicion in the minds of those guards about the prison who were not disturbed. If in the assault strange noises had been uttered, the occurrence was too common to arouse curiosity among the prisoners or anxiety in the mind of the sentinels. The senses of the men here crowded together had been obtunded by cold and beuuuibed by physical wants, and the sentry had long since ceased to wonder at occurrences most strange to him as a novice. About him are thousands of men--men packed niore densely than cattle in pens. Strange noises have often been heard issuing from the-lips of men delirious with disease, or coming from the throats of men strug­ gling with thugs and assassins; these1 guards have not been placed about the prison to prevent robbery, to protect the weak and defenceless. Their only office is to see that no man escapes from that wretched place and the nightmare that is present through day and darkness. But a new cry awakens the captive, alarms the captor. Failing in his first attempt, their followers retiring, from a hopeless cause, the leaders step back from the strong-barred gate, and shout, "Fall in, men, fall in." What: magic in the words! Men dreaming of battle and the scenes in their soldier life, where the sharp words portend much, instinctively spring from their inhospitable beds. A confused mur­ mur growing^ louder, spreads over the prison, and in a few moments all are awakened. The guards outside this place of confinement and restraint listen to the ominous words, to the subdued tones momentarily increasing, and in alarm run from their posts of duty. All over the prison men were rousing and asking of the nearest companion the reason of the subdued excitement. We could hear the excited shouts of the Con­ federates without, and the "long roll" sounding the alarm added to the dread confusion. Up to this point the men who had been most noticeable by their vehement words of exhortation and command were the lieutenants of Hanchette, the men who were fully informed of, and the leaders in, the insurrection. Now to the increasing turmoil another class of men added their cries. Awakened from their sleep, wholly unaware of the bold conspiracy that had originated in their midstt hearing the beating drums and the shouts of prepara­ tion without, recognizing as a leading spirit of the uprising, Owens, the man who had so long worn the clanking chains. That men ia such a place and with such gloomy prospects should think of plans by which they might regain their liberty wouVI be but natural. In some, resolu­ tions of the most desperate character were awakened. Among those of the latter class was a sergeant of an Ohio regiment named Owens, who had, before entering the army, resided at Sandusky. Owens, some time in the fall of 1804. had arrested the attention of the prison officials, and for some attempted escape had been taken out from the prison to the shop of the village blacksmith, and on his legs heavy Iron shackles were riv­ eted. Even af*?r th*t he made several wonderful escapes and attempts at m- cape. Those by whom courage, to im moved with i ed prison,^moodljr ia _ gvished by his fetters J of his companions, IWT_ fanatic, pom essedwtt&aiLp. and not a few spoke Of him i selves as "Crazy Owens." men, as will appear at a !aiiij§i| our story, was most damagf infiueae«jt| a critical hour, St of an imwirreef-ion organized oners.

Don't try to lunatic. £.ie down. The rebels; pared to kill every man that; pass out." To these men, the careful considerationswhkA 1 given to the project, this wild was one of the most crazy and L schemes. Captain Hanchette called to his fellow prisoners. to the center of the prison, with a ^ commanding voice he exclaimed: "H a hundred men, men of courag^fof2 immediately." Only a few respond the Captain's call. He^lienmadta : impassioned and touching apr voice tremulous, not with fear, but intense emotion: "Comrades! men! we can make onr escape. not a guard upon the st those inside have been 0f>rT will you not make your irnr.'j|ijdj hell-hole?
