Vilk.i' W& nierrf boy he ehllsfed as a drutknief ' .In the Ninth New York volunteers, known as tho Hawkins zouaves, a regi ment which did some of the fiercest and most picturesque lighting of the war. Ho was tho ymjiigest drummer boy from New York Btatu and was said to be tho third youngest in all the Union armies. Laugbeln served chiefly In the Virginia campaigns. Like the big soldiers in lite regiment, he -was dretwed lu the zouave uniform, wltll baggy knee trousers and short, flaring Jacket, his head covered with a tas seied cap. So slight and childish Lang bein looked that he seemed out of place among tho strong, rough men around him, but every man In the regiment lorcd the little drummer boy. One big;.! soldier who had n sweetheart up home' named Jennie declared that the boy looked Ilka "the girl he left behind klm." so the drummer was known by his grownup comrades as "Jennie" Langbeln. Adjutant Bartholomew of 'Jennie's" regimeat took a particular Interest la the boy. Ho bad promised Laiigbela'a" mother that be would look after the Uttlo fellow as well as he could. At the battle, of Camden, or Sawyer's Laae,' sear, the- southern end of the Dhtawl' swamp canal, the Hawkins xouaves ssado a desperate charge. A fragment of exploding shell 'plowed a frightful .furrow In tho neck of Adjutant Bar tholomew, who. erased by tho shock and pain, Btaggorcd outside tho Fed eral formation and wai dercd aimlessly about between tile lines In a sone of flie from both armies, "J eii n I e" saw what happened to his friend. He rushed to the wounded man and wanaid to pilot him to n place of reasonable mifety. Giving Bar tholomew a drink of water from his can toeti. the little drummer dnxhed away to Hud the regimental surgeon. The doetor probed the wound with his lingers and told the hoy that the adju tant wan done for and It would do no good to move him. Hut after the doctor had gone to other .duties the boy dilut ed up the big drum major, Charles Wi ley, who helped him carry Bartholo mew to u house. When the Union force were driven buck, "Jennie" ro fucd to .leave hln friend to full into the cnemy'a liundH. lie succeeded in pot ting the olllcer Into uu nrmy wagon nnd remained In attendance until Liar tholomew wan nnfe In the IVdernl hos pltal on Itimunlie Maud.
