mustered nr today.
The Third Regiment Has More Mon
Than Necessary.
The Third Georgia regiment has se
cured more than its quota of men, and
will be mustered into the service of
the United States today.
Last night 1,275 men slept upon the
tented bills of Camp Norihen and to
dayjhe number will be increased to
over 1,300, making the largest regi
ment In the country.
This will’be an important day at
camp, and “from early morn till dewy
eve” every man, from Col. Candler to
the humblest private, will find but few
moments for rest.
At an early hour the battalions will
be formed on the parade ground for
drill and inspection by Col. Candler
and bis staff, after which the camp
will be thoroughly inspected.
Gov. Atkinson and bis staff will
come down this afternoon and be pres*
ent when tbs regiment is mustered in.
They will be accompanied by a delp
gaties from the Ladies' Relief Associ
ation and the Army and Navy League,
who will present the regiment with
two beautiful flags. Among the ladies
who will grace our city with their
presence wifi be Mrs. W. Y. Atkinson,
Mrs John 8. Candler, Mrs. Lolie M.
Gordo-, Mias Ella Powell and Miss
Jennie English, who will be moat de
lightfully entertained by the officers at
Camp Northeo.
Gov. Atkinson on yesterday appoint
ed Troup Whitehead as second lieu
tenant io Company C, of Savannah,
which office was made vacant by the
resignation of Lieut. Leakin.
Private Slater, of Capt. Davies’ com
pany, baa received a promotion and is
now drum major for the Third regi
ment band
Sergeant Vason, of Company F, has
been temporarily detailed as commis
sary sergeant; Lieut. Hastings, of
Capt. Sanford’s company, has been
temporarily detailed regimental com
missary, and Sergeant Napier, of
Capt. Sanders' company, is temporari
ly serving as sergeant major
It is said that the ordnance stores
for the regiment have been shipped
and will be here in a few days, when
the regiment will be thoroughly
equipped.
There was rejoicing in the camp
yesterday when orders were read at
dress parade allowing the men to come
to the city every night and remain
until 10 a m. . For some time past
only five men from each company
have been issued passes every 24 hours
and while the boys did not complain
at their confinement, their apprecia
tion of the new orders was expressive*
ly demonstrated.
Colonel Candler believes that
“cleanliness is akin to godliness’’ and
is having the grounds thoroughly
cleaned. From the officers’ tents to
the extreme end of camp is swept
every day, until now an English spar
row conld scarcely find sufficient ma
terial thereon with which to build its
nest.

000,OvO in stock to be issued by the
directors from tips to time for the
purchase of property or other uses as
may be deemed beet by the board.
This enormous dividend is in addi
tion to a cash dividend ot 50 per cent.,
or $2,600,000, declared within the past
year. America is full of rich men,
rich corporations and companies that
make tremendous profits, but no cor

ever made the enormous profit that
has this association of men during the
past twelve months.
At the meeting 82,994 shares of
slock out of 100,000 were represented.
The meeting was a brief one and it
took the board but a few minutes to
make the distribution of the $5,000,-
000 in stock., It was done by virtue
of the following resolution, which was
presented aod passed:
“Resolved. That of tbo 120,000($6,»
000,000) of new capital stock autho
rised by this meeting the stockholders
recommend that the board of directors
should distribute 100,000 shares, that
is, $5,000,000, at par, to the stockhold
ers as a stock dividend out of the sur
plus earnings of the company not
heretofore divided among the stock
holders, and that the remaining 10,000
shares ($1,000,000) remain in the
treasury and be issued by the board
of directors from time to time for the
purchase of property upon which
such terms and in such manner as
they shall deem for the best interest of
the company.**
The net earnings of the company,
for the past ten years are stated to be
$17,500,000, of which the cash diviv
dends have been $14,596,000. Tbe
stock divided will be distributed as
soon as the necessary certificates can

Th. Shah’. TreMtum.
Os all the sovereigns of the world the
shah of Persia is said to possess the
largest treasure ka jewels and gold or
naments, it being valued at $60,000,-
000. The chief object of value is the old
crown of Persian rulers, in the form of
a pot of flowers, which is surmounted by
an uncut ruby the size of a hen’s egg.
The diamonds in another symbol of his
rank are said to weigh almost 30 pounds.
There is also a jeweled saber, valued at
$1,600,000. Another thing that the shah
prizes is a silver vase ornamented with
100 emeralds, whose equals, it is said,
are not to be found in the world. In the
collection there is a cube of amber which
tradition says fell from heaven in the
days of Mohammed and insures the pos.
sessor against bodily harm.

they GAVE TH F BALLS ’
And the People Danced to Fay the DebU
of Louis XIV.
Tn 1712 Louis XIV favored the Opera,
then established in the first salle of the
Palais Royal (there have been two)
with a special mansion for the better
accommodation of its administration,
archives and rehearsals. This hotel it
situated in tbe Rue Nicaise. The build
ing was generally designated under the
name nf “Magasia,” whence the term
“Filles du Mag*in” (not “de maga
gin") subsequently not only to the fe
male choristers and supers, but the fe
male dancers themselves. It so happen
ed that the king forgot to pay his archi
tects and workmen. In order to satisfy
them the Chevalier de Bouillon conceiv
ed the idea of giving balls in the opera
house, for which idea he received an
annual pension of 6,000 francs. Hewai
paid, but the king’s debtors were not,
for, although the letters patent were
granted somewhere about thebeginning
of 1718, not a single ball had been given
when the most magnificent of the Bour
bon sovereigns descended to his grave.
One day, shortly after his death,
d’Argenson, the then lieutenant of po
lice, was talking to Louis* nephew,
Philippe d’Orleans, the regent "Mon
seigneur," he said, "there are peoplf
who go about yelling that his majesty
of blessed memory was a bankrupt and
a thief. I’ll have them arrested and
have them flung into some deep under
ground dungeon." “You don’t know
what you are talking about," was th<
answer. "Those people must be paid,
and then they’ll oease to bellow.” "But
how, monseigneur?” "Let’s give the
balls that were projected by Bouillon. ”
So said, so done, and the people danced
to pay Louis XI V's debts, as, according
to Shadwell, people drank to fill Charlei
Il’s coffers:
The king's mart faithful subjects we
In *s service are not dull.
We drink to show our loyalty
And make his coffers full.
—London Saturday Review.
Chesterfield Superficiality.
Chesterfield’s idea of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise of
solid acquirement and genuine princi
ple is always coupled with the assertion
of their entire inutility if unaccompa
nied by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration of their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity; their value to the
individual, according to him, is wholly
proportioned to his skill in using them
in a social form.
In one of his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: "What an advan
tage has a graceful speaker with gen
teel motions, a handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute of these or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
of them! If you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be of little
use to you. By manners I mean engag
ing, insinuating, shining manners, a
distinguished politeness, an almost ir
resistible address, a superior graceful
ness in all you say and da " He would
have manners overlay individuality and
goes so far as to declare that a soldier
is a brute, a scholar, a pedant and a
philosopher, a cynic without good breed
ing.—Gentleman’s Magazine.
A Former Chinese Sleet.
It consisted chiefly of old junks which
had not been in the water f<x more than
80 years. During this lengthened period
the sea had receded, and the land had
formed to the extent of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
from the long exposure to the sun and
rain, the paint had peeled from their
sides, and, in some cases, the very
planking had been stolen for firewood.

ever since remained.
