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.

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.

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. —"Pioneering In Formosa," by W. A Pickering. Moved Nine Million Pounds. American engineers have just per formed a feat at Bismarck, N. D-, which has never before been equaled. It took them an entire year to make their and when all was ready they moved a pier of the Northern Pacific railway bridge, weighing 9,000,- 000 pounds, about four feet in a few minutes. The allowance of the lord mayor of London, up to the mayoralty of Sir Sid ney Waterlow in 1872, was $40,000 an nually, but it waa increased in that year to $50,000, at which sum it has ever since remained. There is an American hotel at Limon, Porto Rica It is called the Grand. It rests on piers set in the coral reef where ceaseless spray from the nearby surf re flects rainbow tints in the sunlight.
