These are the Second Georgia, the First Florida and the Fifth Maryland. General Corbin said Ibis morning that they would certainly not go to Santiago and could not see how the mistake could come about. . He could not tell what day they would get off, but thought it would not be later than Thursday. General Shafter wired Saturday that ten trans ports had already left' Cuba for this coast and that they would get to Tampa today or tomorrow and that not more than two days would be res. qufred to ernbwrk. ’ *" n . - The Endlege Chain- The endless chain may become a fad, since the lady of Long Island has made so great a success of it, and I expect to hear of old aid indigent citizens persuading intimate friends to give them a lift by starting the wheel at five or ten cents.

One member of the strategic board says there is no doubt about an Amer ican equadroa going to Spain. In fact he said it was likely that when Watson sailed he would go much further No further explanation was given, btst from other sources the i'-formation comes that Wateon’s destination will be the Philippines The administra tion denies that it will attempt more than the destruction es Camara's fleet. That accomplished, the squadron will centinue through the Suez and join Adm.iral Dewey to further protect the rights of this country in v the Philip pine archipelago. Major General Brooke, commanding the First army corps, will sail this afternoon from Newport News to join General Mile# at Porto Rico. The general will embark on the St. Louie, and he Will proceed immediate ly without waiting for the whole of his command, he should arrive off Porto Rico some time Fiiday or Saturday. The St. Louis will be accompanied on the run down the coast by the St. Paul, ou which will be the headquar ters of General Hains. The remainder of the troops in Chickamauga will be embarked at Hampton Roads as rap idly as possible, and it is expected that the last of them will be aboard ship by Wednesday. s?he department has no maMer of donM that Mlles is off Porto Rico, and as all of the details of the expedition are moving with precision, there is every reason to believe that the troops will be all ashore by the end-of the week. Col. Hecker, who is directly ia charge, ®f the transportation ar rangements, has returned to Washing ton from fortress Monroe entirely sat isfied with the progress being made there in the embarkation of General Brooke’s command. ‘ ■ s Chesterfield Superficiality- Chesterfield's idea of excellence was essentially superficial, fpj bis praise of solid acquirement and genuine princi ple is always coupled with the asser tion of their entire inutility if accom** panied by grace, external polish, and an agreeable manifestation. He omits all consideration of tbeir intrinsic worth and absolute dignity; their value t<« the individual, according to him, is wholly proportioned to bis skill in using them in a social form. In one of bis earlier letters to Philip Stanhope he writes : “What an advan tage has a graceful speaker with gen teel motions, a handsome figure, over ,ona who shall speak full as much good sense, but who is destitute of these ornaments. ' “In business how prevalent are the graces; how detrimental is the want of them! If you should not aequire manners, all the rest will be of little use to you. »’ By manners I mean enx gaging, insinuating, shitting; a distinguished politeness, an almost irresistible address, a superior grace fulness in all you say and do.” He would have manners overlay individu ality, and gees so far as io declare that a soldier is a brute, a scholar a pedant, a philosopher a cynic without' good breeding.—-Gentleman's Magazine.

Up to the present time he bps had some body to do his typewriting for him,but i uow he wants to know how to run it all by himself. He admits that ‘be ia not an apt scholar. It comes slowly. The letters are hard to find, and the spacing is so easily forgotten But there ia one thing that amuses him. He is learning to spell, and learning the same way he did in the early 60s. Os coarse he oould spall when he tack led .the typewriter, but not in the same way. Now he distinctly enum erates each letter, and does it, too,with the greatest care. It is a funny thingy but be finds himself spelling out the words in the newspaper, and bis wife says he spells them in bis sleep. The other day the minister met him and asaed him bow he was. “V-e-r-y w«e-l-l,” he gtavely spelled out, and when the pastor looked amazed he realized what he bad done and hastily explained the cause of the peculiarity. And the minister pro fessed to be greatly intetested and wanted to know all about it, and the speller is now greatly worried for fear the parson will write a special paper ou it for.some magazine. Wken the minister finally left him he shook hands and said “Goodby.” z “G-o-osd,” began the speller, and then recollected himself and hastily added “by.” He hopes in time to wear out this peculiarity, and when he increases hie speed on the typewriter he no doubt will.

Money went a good deal further in the last century than it does now. Consequently when the House of Comtnons veted $1,500,000 to build the first duke a residence there pres ently sprang up an edifice 348 feet long, with an interior so vast that when a government messenger once came post baste there to the late Lord Randolph Churchill during one of his visits with a dispatch 'it overhalf an hour before his lordship— who, for exercise, had been exploring the palace, with its fifteen staircases— was found- The last time it was repaired the late duke was obliged to apply to Par hament for permission to sell the pict ures and library to pay the bills, which amounted to more than $7,500,* 000. It is, therefore, not surprising that, although the estate yielded S2OO, 000 a year, the expenses of keeping up this preposterous residenee kept the duke a poor man.—Ex.
