LONDON's GREAT WEALTH.
Her RenIty-Great Buildings and Bridges.

Values of real estate and some other things in the city of London are set forth in an article in paper published there. Mansion house, which cost S3,- 5o0,000 to build, is now valued al fully ten times that figure The Royal Ex- change, as building of bricks and mortar, is worth $1,000,00O, but land in that neighborbood has recently sold at the rate of $10o00000 an acre. Eight bridges over the Thames cost S25,00o,- GOO to build, but are now worth much more than that, while the tuanels un- derneath are worth other millions, and the embanl1ment is worth probably dou- ble the $10,0O0,00O it cost 10 make If St. Pauls were private property you might induce the owner to sell it for $50,0Q0,00o, but the likelihood is very re mote. Those tattered banners which you have seen so often would arouse pretty keen bidding at the sales. West minister abbey is difficult to value. But the sales give us some idea of what historic treasures are worth in the mar ket, and l should not be surprised if the abbey, put up in lots, realized $2, ,50o,- 100000.
 The British museum empty would be worth $7,500,0oO, and it is full of price less treasures. The National gallery is worth millions. It cost, with the new Tate gallery section. $1,750,o0o 10 build, and has one picture which cost $70 an inch. The Nelson column, close bv, is worth $250,o0o, and the statue of King George ILL, little way down Pail Mall, cost $20, 900. The Albert hall and Royal aquarium are both worth about $1,250,- GOO, but the Crystal palace cost more than three times the value of both of these. Earl's court, the great show riyaling the palace, has millions worth of treasures, and even when it is empty the 25 acres of gardens and building are worth $1,500 000 Imagine buying the tower, the Holborn viaduct, the miles of sewers, walks and pavemcnts; the various markets, of which four-whieh are for eattle-eost $50, ,000, 900 between them; think of the hospitals and schools, ard fancy the market value of the parks cut into city lots. The en- frances alone at Hyde Park are said to have cost nearly $75o0, 0,o00-Fhiiadel- phia Times.

We read of the hordes of mounte- banks and dancing girls, artisans and tradesmen of all descriptions that formed second army nearly as large as the fighting force of AerXes, and, from all accounts, Antony and his o1fi- cers enjoyed a life of splendor and lux ury that turned their camp into a car nival where Rome's fayorite artists and celebrated cooks were camp followers. Even Napoleon's army was cumbered with a following of vendors of the lux ..uries and pleasures of life who lived upon the soldiers.
 All this has no place in modern armies. Even the sutler has been done away with by the governments eompe- ton. In most European countries no suffers are allowed within the lines. They may still have access to our men, but as the government is prepared to supply their stock in trade at cost, and as they will no longer have any stand- ing as they had during the civil war, when the authorities would see that their bills were paid and take their wares on army railroads, soldiers of this war cannot enjoy the jolly pastime of ''rallying on the sutler," which the boys of '61 indulgeb in when other means of diversion were lacking, or

the officer to allow them to "clean out" the sutler The officer took out his watch and told the sutler he could have three minutes in which to get his whole stock out of the house and. into his wagon, which stood just outside the window. When the sutler saw that the captain meant what he said he began frantically to throw his possessions out of the window into the wagon. Only a small portion was removed when charge. was called, and, with a wild rush, half regiment was into the shanty, where not so much as pickle remained after the onslaught.
 On the field the government takes the place of sutler. The government sup ply tents, with counters before the door way, are scattered all through our camps.
 The troops can get at cost such deli cacies as sirup, chocolate, fancy cheese, extra Java coffee, ginger crackers, canned lobster, canned oysters, mock turtle soup, Worcestershire sauce and

It would be difficult not to appear angelic in the gown pictured here, since there is such a futtering of wing like draperies that the wearer seems ready to rise on the breezes upon the drst opportunity, This effect is pro- duced by the iehu that is drapcd grace fully above the low corsage, crossing in front and tying at the waist in hard knot from which the ends hang in a sash. The fchu is edged with three rows of plaited muslin, but the sash ends have but one row around the en- tire edge. Double sleeves of the variety known as "anger' are also edged with plated muslin. The ichu and angel sleeves may be made of muslin and used

luXuries like damask towels, tooth brushes, gold-plated collar buttons and cashmere bouquet soap. Soldiers are no longer allowed to have whisky. At Tampa it is almost impossible to get anything more alcoholic than coffee to drink. No one Is allowed within the lines without pass,
 In the barrack.Rthe suffers place is supplied by the 3post exchange" a kind of soldiers club. The exchange is in charge of an officer, but it's profits are divided among the men. All the goods used at a military pest are se- cured from its exchange, which also supplies light wines and beer, It is not generally known that the government provides no rations for its officers. This has given rise to the formation of a sort of exchange in the field, by which the officers will board with the men, paying monthly stipend, which the men can use to get extras with, like milk and butter. 4 number of our mil- itia officers are now doing this. This

ons followed closely the advance guard of the army, and wherever the soldiers eamped for the night suffers wagon was on hand near the center of each brigade to sell to every soldier who had money or credit. When a camp was permanent the suffers would bring up a great variety and quantity of goods and establish themselves in houses or sheds, after the fashion of country shop keepers.
 The army suffers were by no means of the class of ordinary city peddlers or vegetable vendors. Many of them were right clever fellows. One of the most popular suffers of the army of the Potomac was Jerry MeKibben, brother of Lieut.. Dave" McKfbben and Col. Joe" McKibben. It is good stock. Brave as Dave McKibben" was a ia miliar expression in the army of the Potomac after the day that Lieut.. Me Kibben went out from the ranks in the face of the enemy and picked up a flag that had fallen when the color ser

when some interruptions or over grasping sutler earned their enmity.
 During our last war the suter was regular institution. Through him alone the officers and men obtained the little luxuries that are absolutely necessary even to men living the rough life of the army. Beef or pork, beans, bread and tea or coffee are the regular govern ment rations, at frequent intervals veg etables and dried fruits being supplied ill addition. But there are a hundred other articles which soldiers find it hard to do without Cheese, oat- meal, pickles, maccaroni, tobacco, pipes, shoestrings, note paper, handkerchiefs and towels-all these things Yankee soldier needs, and the sutler provided them. Whisky was another article that the sutler kept to supply continuous demand, The sutler was therefore care fully looked after and given full priv ileges as regards transportation on army railroads and over military roads eading to the camp. The sutler's wag-

arrangement does away with number of camp followers who otherwise would be needed to look after the officers rnesses. Most of the camp followers of our present army will be the servants of the officers. Officers are not re stricted as regards servants, except by the rule that no maid servants are al-' lowed within the lines. These servants, besides acting as body servants, attend to their masters washing, and forage for delieaeies for his table. In the civil war these servants, mostly ne- groes, added to the picturesqueness of both camps. One would be ironing his masters shirts with a hot stone, an- other polishing up the brass buttons on a generals uniform, while an admiring group of eontrabands of various sizes and shades would be clustered about Major Jones' nigger," who, by neero- nancy only known to the southern darky, had succeeded in producing fat turkey from an apparently deyas- tated country. Some of the Fifth Avenue brigade" of Col. Roosevelt's regiment have taken their yalets with them, and there have been a number of applications for positions by off eefs' niggers' who have survived the perils of the civil war.
 It may be taken for fact that our present army, even though it were not going to such an unhealthy country as Cuba, would have very few camp fol- lowers who were objectionable 10 the authorities They did not get through the lines during the last war to any extent Gamblers and dissolute people generally soon learn that they had bet ter keep away from our armies on the field. It is true that during the civil war a swarm of harpies from the slums of northern cities followed the armies at distance for the purpose of sweeping down upon battlefield after the fight.

geant was shot. Jerry MeKibben had half dozen wagons. His headquarters was at Fair Oaks when the army was in front of Richmond, and he had q big store there. MeKibben made good deal of money, but he came under the influence of the reckless spirit of army life and spent his earnings lavishly. After the war he was proprietor of the Girard house in Philadelphia for many years. While the suffers outfits were usually safe in camp, they were many times footed for one cause CT other, and then the unfortunate sutler had little redress. If a satler caused a soldier to be arrested for "rallying" on him life with that brigade would be unendur- able, not to say impossible. An incident is related by one of the officers of the army of the Potomac about a newly-ar- rived sutler who had previously been engaged in dealing in clothes on Baxter street in New York, and who did not appreciate the fact that there was no cooper" around the corner to whom he might appeal if he drew forth the dispIeasure of his customers. His prices were exorbitant, and when the officer remonstarated with him he replied in true Bowery profanity. The soldiers grouped about the suffers sbanty asked

If the rapid movements of the armies gave them a chance at battlefield before the dead were buried and the wounded removed they sometimes committed terrible crimes. They not only stripped the dead of even their shoes, but are said to have killed wounded soldiers, in order to get plunder with as little trouble as possible.
