THE ElGHTEENTH.
The morning opened most auspiciously
for the first time since we left Savannah and
the sun made its appearance. The boys
having fully recovered from the effects of
the glorious time of the evening, were soon
Jaspers formed into battalion, under the
command OF Capt. Flannery. and marched
through some of The principal streets.
On all sides were heard expressions
OF admiration of the martial
bearing and fine appearance OF
the Greens. During the march they we're
frequently cheered and showered with
boquets OF flowers by the ladies. The bat
TALON proceeded to West End Green, where
is situated the monument erected to the
memory Of Jasper. The Jaspers saluted
the monument by firing three rounds. As
usual, the firing of the corps was excel
lent.
The column was then marched to the
wharf and soon embarked on the steamer
Sappho. The steamer was already crowded
with the fair ones, and soon the music struck
up and the Jaspers were indulging in terpsi-
chorean pleasures The trip to Sullivan's Is
land was quickly and pleasantly made. On
the arrival the ladies were embarked on
the cars, and the companies, headed by
the Chicora Brass Band, marched to Fort
Moultrie, the gate Of which had already
been kindly opened by Captain Leslie, the
superintendent. On reaching the parapet,
the companies were formed in line, and the
National flag, with the coIors of the Irish
Jasper Greens and Montgomery Guards,
planted In the ground. In performing this
ceremony the gallant commander
OF the Montgomerys, made, as
usual, a neat address. Privates
O'Connor and the O'Byrnes made eloquent
addresses. After the speeches the compa-
MES broke ranks and spent some time view
ing the fort, some of the Jaspers bringing
away mementoes from the place where Ser
geant Jasper performed the heroic deed that
has won him renown. On the return march
a most pleasing incident occurred. On the
porch OF q cottage near the beach
ted the Jaspers by the waving of
handkerchiefs and displaying q Georgia
flag, which was greeted By the Jaspefs with
three hearty cheers. The young ladies fol-
lowed the companies up the beach for some
distance, still waving the flags. Perceiving
this, marker was sent with q request for
the flags. The young ladies kissed him,
and asked him If the company was not
from Georgia, he stating that they were from
Georgia, and from Savannah. We were un-
able to ascertain their names.
The steamer then continued her trip up
the Ashley river and afterwards around the
harbor, giving the visitors an opportunity Of
viewing the many beautiful attractions of
the "City by the Sea- and reached the
wharf at about six o'clock. The remainder
OF the evening was devoted to sight seeing
and visiting. During the evening the ar
mOry Of the Montgomery Guards was open,
and around the festive board we're gathered

THE ODD STORY OF 4 CHATEAU.
From The 81. JansS's Gazette.


Anybody residing i'll France is to know people
who, by keeping their heads cool when most other
persons lost theirs were enabled to make splendid
purchases OF houses lands, or other vauables ut q
very small outlay. Here is an instance of what NAV
be done in that way just before the Revolution of
1915 high official owned q beautiful chateau and
park near Paris. The Revolution deprived him of
his pay, ruined the speculations in which he had in
vested his money, and left him almost destitute.
Moreover, the doctrines about property which were
being advocated i'll the democratic clubs and news
papers made HIM think that the abolition of all land
owners was at hand. An offer of Go 900 made
HIM Tor his park, chateau and all his furniture; and
he took 1T gladly. But the Revolution was over
thrown; Louis Napoleon st uck his coup Fetdt, and
in 1888 the new owner of the chateau found n ten
ant for three years at $500 year. In 1856 renew
ing the lease, he raised the tenants rent $500;
and i'll 1850, when Baron Haussmanns demolitions
in Paris caused land to rise to fancy prices he sold
his chateau and park for f4s,000. Ten years
passed: then came the collapse OF the Empire, the
siege OF Paris and the Commune; and the late
owner of the estate, who had sold it for f4S 900,
bought it back through notary for f12, 900 down.
he holds 1T STALL and. IL he to sell it now, might
probably get ESQ, 900 for it.
Examples of this kind not rare; and they
justify the saying that France is good country in
which to get furnished house cheap If you only
select the right time for buying. The present is not
the right time. People who ten years ago. while
Paris and Versailles were exchanging shells in the
name OF fraternity, would have sold houses and
furniture worth thousands for hundreds, have re-
covered their confidence, and are helping to force
up the value of all dwellings and goods to high
prices.
