Perry Thayer's son, now our organist, is a born Chilean and I have just picked up a boy of thirteen, son of poor parents, who has the most remarkable natural gift for drawing and coloring. The story of his first box of colors is as good as Sir B. West's pussy's tail. He picked up scraps of wall-papers, soaked them, scraped off the colors with a knife, and with them painted little pictures which he sold to the schoolboys for a cent apiece, and with this money he bought his first real paintbwas thirty-four years old: Mr. Emerson is bounteous and gracious, but thin, dry, angular, in intercourse as in person.

My lieutenants are the best of the lot and all is harmony among us three; then there are some nice attractive boys among the others, with a mixture of older men, respectable country sheriffs and such, good, though not graceful, and then another set of precarious morale who will go up or down according to the influences. Colonel Ward, who commands the post, I heartily like; there is little of him beyond the military, but that is excellent; he is always frank and decided and just; always s
