FROM A DRAWING OF THE OLD CAMP CHASE PRISON, NEAR COLUMBUS, OHIO.


THE above scenes will be familiar to those who were in the Camp Chase prison. The street at bottom of picture is Broadway, and the "four mile house," illustrated in December Veteran, is near the center of this area. The main prison is at uppcr left-hand corner and about halfway from Broadway to the Confederate Cemetery. The group of buildings, six in the row to the right of the main prison, is the Confederate Hospital, while the two-story building at lower tight-hand corner of picture is the Federal Hospital. Camp Chase was a regular camp of instruction, and the long rows of buildings at right of campus, comprising two squares, indicate the Federal soldiers' quarters. It is evident that in a few years the city will extend fully out to the cemetery.
