I The »un was so very warm yesterday
i. ]iule was accomplished at Camp
I tforthan, and the 10:30 drill was bad.
I jalbs company streets and mesa halls,
I Some of the officers passed the
I <norniug in instructing their men in
■- the different topics and reading the
gjCu* to them.
I |At 11 o’clock the regular daily offi
cers meeting was held in Col. Lawton's
quarters. Moat qt the time was con-
H earned in discussing the band
I traosfer of men from their companies
I to the band.
E . Every enlisted noncommissioned
officer who is chosen by the director
I to join the band must be reduced to
ranks before ha can enter bis new dn*
ties, and should he return to his com
pany he will serve as a private.
h The band composed of twenty-
I four pieces, and two men are chosen
from each company, thereby rqually
t dividing, honors.
The uniforms all arrived yesterday
and last night, and the men will be ia
sued their much needed clothing this
morning.
H a Most of them were supplied with
their blue shirts yesterday end wore
them on battalion drill in the after*
noon. They will of Course show off to
a far better advantage this afternoon
when they have donned their naw
uniforms and go on inspection.
Col. Lawton has no idea when he
will receive the gone and other equip
ments. However, Le has made requi
sition for tbe same and may ba in
formed of their shipment at any hour.
It is generally desired Juy all that
the companies wilt be recruited to

■ second call for volunteers. The two
f artillery companies only have one
hundred and twenty men each and
they are required to have one bun
dred and seventy five men and offi
cers. They should ba recruited to
their full number.
It is dow thought these batteries
will remain here and not go to Chick
amauga for their equipments. They
will doubtless receive their full num
ber of guns, caissons, horses, mules
and in fact all required equippage be
fore leaving their present quarters.
There sre two batteries in camp
now and if fully recruited would pre
sent a very interesting spectacle when
practicing. The two companies when
fully recruited aud equipped will con
eiat of 350 men, 8 commissioned effi
eeis, 288 horses, 12 large field guns
and 18 caissons, and fighting qualities
to whip all Spuin"
Yesterday morning tbe citisens of
Savannah sent the Chatham artillery
a barrel of fresh fieb and it goes withv
out saying they were highly apprecia
ted But this company in particular
has been very fortunate during its ens
listment as warriors of tbe United
States. They are the recipients of
many very nice gifts fr »m their re
spective home. Not long ago they
ft. Were presented with forty dcaen eggs
by one man.
Owing to some unknown reason tbe
order for guard duty was changed
yesterday and Co. C, Capt. O’Brien,
and Lieutenants Davie and Mclntosh
were detailed for that purpose instead
of Co. B, as formerly announced.
Large detailes have been at work
upon the grounds for several days
digging ditches for draining purposes
•ad now the entire ground is thor
oughly drained, and all tbe slops and
water is carried off to the creek.
The few on the sick list at the bos_
pital are fast improving. The sick
dumber reported each morning is
fe 'much less now than several days ago.
In fact most of the men claim they are
1 -in much better health and weigh more
®ow than they did before joining the
army.
Lieut. Col. J. T. Brooks who has
been sick for some days is improving
nicely and will very likely be al hie
I’ oß * of duty again in a short time.
BMost of tbe officers are beginning to
traliae that they are here for some
time yet and are preparing to- bring
u their wives to our city to remain here
hntil they are orders 1 away.

THE INVADING ARMY
■ Will Begin Mowing Within a Very

' Washington, May 31 -It was shown
tbdey rn the hurried but systematic
preparations at the various .bureaus at
tbe war and navy departenfbta an# in
the keen air of expectancy Everywhere
prevailing that ths invading army was
preparing for embarkatory.
■ Tbe authorative statements made
yesterday by General Miles and others
that the orders for an advance had
been issued, lek no further doubt on
that point. Tbe report from Key
West that tbe steamer Florida return
ed there ibis morning after successful
ly landing a most importAutexpedilion
iu Cuba was supplemented by the
information here that the expedition
was in command of Gbfteftl Lacret,
the well-known Coban leader, who has
with him 400 picked Cubans, thor
oughly armed and equipped by the
United States.
While there continues to be entire
official reticence as to the exact points
of invasion, the consensus of opinion,
drawn from the most intelligent
sources, is that the eastern end of
Cuba, constituting the province of
Santiago, with Santiago de Cuba as its
capital, and Porto Rico will be among
the objective points.
Orders were issued at tbe war de»
partment this morning for one lieuten
ant from each Georgia company to go
to bis respective section of tbe state
and enlist 30 men to Ming up tbe
companies from the state to the msx
mum number of men allowed.
- A copyrighted special from Port-au-
Prince to The New York Evening
World says: A report is current at
Mote St. Nicholas that three of Cerve
ra?a fleet tried to steal out of Santiago
and were pursued. They only escaped
destruction by regaining their port.

In the days of Clement VII It was a
question of debate whether or no the wear
ing of beards by priests was decent, hon
orable and sanctioned by religion. Ths
champion of the beard was a native of
Belluno known to posterity by his academ
ical name of Picrius Valerian.. Ransack
ing holy writ, the customs of the Catholic
church and the annals of classical antiqu
ity, he proved that the wearing of all beards
Is at once decent, approved of by man and
respectful to Cod. Says he:
“So much virtue indeed did the an
cients ascribe to the beard that a beardless
philosopher was scarcely deemed a philos
opher.'’
r Christ wore a beard; so did the patron
saint of Scotland, and also Thomas,
the unbeliever, Peter, the keeper of the
keys, and the reformer of early Christian
ity, Paul. The great esteem entertained
by the ancient Romans for the beard Is
adduced, and so, too, is the admiration
conceived by the Invading Gauls for the
senators awaiting their doom robed and
bearded. He might have also referred to
the reverence felt by the Jews for the
board, together with the well known Mo
hammedan oath, “By the beard of the
prophet,” and the portraits of Olympian
Zeus.—Exchange.

of little value in comparison with this
marvelous cure; would have it, even
if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

SECUND CALL FOR VOLHNTEEM-
F Governors Give Alger Their Views on
the Raising of Regiments.
• Abmyt twenty governors ol slates
5 and territories ijave replied to Seere*
tary Alger s telegrams, asking for lheir
( views regarding the filling of the pres*
( ent volunteer regiments to their maxi
( mom strength before beginning tbe
formsticto of new organizations Some
( of these indicate » preference Ipr the
( recruiting of entirely new regiment*
I aS under the first call, leaving the
present organizations with number
, of meu now contained in tbem< though
practically all promise the government
any amount of troops that are wanted.
It is tbe President’s desire, however,
| that the organizations already formed
shall be filled to tbeir maximum
strength as the law provides and tbie
’ policy will be carried out in recruiting
under the second call. The appor
( tionment to the states has bcru made
up, but not yet been given to the
public.
Through urgent representations to
Secretary Alger, some of the states
’ were permitted, under the fiist call, to
’ furnish a greater number of troops
tbfan they were legally entitled to on
i tbe basis of population. Consequently
in raising the 75,000 men under the
' second call, these inequalities will be
retnedied as fifr as practicable, with
‘ tbe result that some of the slates may
not be called on to furnish Any of the
men needed. This course probably
( may give rise to discontent in states
where men are anxious to serve, but it
I ■
is regarded as tbe only fairway in
which to proceed.
Adjt. Gen. Corbin said that it had
* been definitely decided to use about
50,000 of tbe volunteers to be raised
under the new call in filling out defi-
, cient regiments already organized un
der tbe old call. It will take about that
number, he thought, to fill each com*
( pany up to the maximum limit of 106
’ tneo. ..
■ r *YNO woiddLbft ofc
gahizeii into regiments of threh battal
ions each and distributed among tbe
states and territories in exactly tbe
, same proportion asunder tbe fiist call.
( No cavalry, however, would be accept*
L ed, and only a very limited number of
s artillery.

Le® WPV® No Sword.
“It is a remarkable fact,” said a distin
guished ex-Confcderatc, “that General Lee
never wore a sword during the war or any
weapon, and he never buckled on a sword
until the day.of his surrender, and then as
an act of courtesy to General Grant and
as proper for the occasion, when terms of
surrender were being agreed upon.
“General Lee did not expect to surrender
his sword to Grant, because by tbe terms
of surrender au officers were to retain their
side asms, but he did expect, as I have
heard him state, that Grant would go
through the form of touching the hilt of
his Sword, according to the custom of war.
But Grant, most magnanimous of soldiers,
did riot even cfo that. ”
General Lee had a sword, which is pre
served, but the fact that he did not wear
it, as thus stated, is rather a shock to those
of us who have enjoyed literally as well aa
figuratively Slather Ryan’s poem of stirring
sentiment beginning:
Forth from its scabbard, pure and bright,
Flashed the sword of Lee I

. Prophecy In a Lake’s Name.
The name of Lake Pontchartrain bears
in it a curious prediction, as it were, of
what should bo witnessed on it at the pres
ent day, 200 years after Iberville named it.
Count de Pontchartrain and Count de
Manrepas were the two ministers of Louis
XIV unde# Whose auspices Iberville and
Bienville sailed from La Rochelle, in
France, in 1668, to establish the first col
ony- in Louisiana, and Iberville, in honor
of these patrons of his enterprise, named
Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain. Pont
chartrain is a combination of three dis
tinct French words—vis, Pont, meaning
“bridge,” Char, manning “car, 11 and train,
meaning “train.” The prediction in the
sraa.hfZ tn the fact that at present in a
—s may see on Lake Pont
chartrain, where the Northeastern HEQrowft
crosses it, a “pont” (bridge), a “char”
(car) and a “train” (train), thus interpret
ing the prediction name of Lake Pont
chartrain into lako with a bridge, a car
and a train of cars.—New Orleans Pica
yune.

Big brother had the apple. With a new
shiny pocket knife he cut it into two very
uneven halves and from each side of the
smaller half pared a generous slice. The
remainder he gave to little brother. Then
big brother turned his back and swaggered
up the street munching his big half.
Little brother looked down at the pieoes
of apple in his hand, then into the wistful
eyes of his three companions. He fumbled
around in his pocket, brought out an old
rusty knife blade, minus a handle, divided
his diminished half into four nearly equal
bits, gave one to each of his friends and
kept the smallest himself. The quartet
seated itself on the atone heap anffi eaten
