REAL BATTLE SONGS.
National Hymns Are Not Used when
IL Comes 10 Actual Warfare.

National Hymns Are Not Used when
II Comes to Actual Warfare.
From the London Chronicle.
Generally speaking, the soldiers song is
a much different one, both In tune and
ed forth from the brazen trumpets for his
sovereign's benefit on review day. Prob
ably the only good national hymn which
Is also the popular war song is the famous
'Marseiilaise," and this Is certainly the
most glorious war cong ever composed.
The British national anthem God
Save the Queen" and even the more pop
ular "Rule Britannia" have never been
much used by the British troops in thu
wars. The former, In fact is never heard
being sung by British soldiers on the bat

lite known as 1.-The British Grenadiers."

tbroats as that great regiment rushed at

later days, In the Crimea
Probably the most popular of British
army songs, and one which has been sung
and whisted times without number In the
face of the enemy, is the dear old Girl 1

and the noble record Of this regiment would
seem to show that Wales need have no
fear of her great reputation for bravery
in war yet whitening while she can send
forth such men as the Fusiliers and the
South Wales Borderers.
In the American civil war the favorite
song of the troops was not the national

occasion, as they have been for many
since. where the hero has died, but the

still gone marching on" Even in Eng
land this song has become immensely pop
uiar, especially forfpoltical gatherings.
The German army, too, did not sing,
during the Franco-German war, their
hymn 70 the Kaiser" The inspiriting
Watch BY the Rhine" was the soldiers
song. To its accompaniment they fought
at Sedan.

UNIVERSITY OF PARTS.
IL Has More Students Than Any other
in the World.
From the Independent.

From the Independent.
According to the latest edition OF Mi
nerva, the University Of Paris exceeds all
others in the number Of students, the reg
lister showing 1000 last year. Berlin fol-
lowed with $500; Vienna. 7O2s; Madrid.
S,14S; Naples, SOB; Moscow, 4,46l. Har-
ward with 1914 students, Is the ninth in
the list, but exceeds all other American
universities. oxford had 1886, and Cam
bridge, 2. 929 students. Edinburgh leads the
Scotch list with roll of 2,850. The ten
dency of students to congregate in the
great capitals Is a noticeable feature of
university life In Europe, London being
the single exception In this respect. Tho
movement for a teaching university In this
metropolis seems as far from success as
ever; nevertheless the city Is not destitute
of students that are really doing university
work.
The Inns Of Court constitute a veritable
law faculty, weak only on the historical
side There are several hospital schools of
medicine for men, OF which the next TO
the largest, ST. Bartholomew, numbered
$50 students during the last session. There
is also a similar school for women. Uni
versity College had 1900 students. and the
Technical College Of the City and Guilds
institute, 2l0. The numbers given by no
means exhaust the total of students at
tracted to this great center by its facilities
for scientific, literary and professional
training Undoubtedly the number Of stu
dents would be greatly increased " these
agencies were organized into an university.
The concentration Of student groups Is
less marked in our company. Sull, OF 40
s23 university students, so called, which
are accredited by Minerva to universities
OF the United States, above 40 per cent. are
in the institutions Of seven cities. The case
with Washington. which IS often likened
70 that of London Is really quite different.
In our own capital there are already no
less than four universities in existence and
a fifth chartered There is, however, ample
place for an institution which should util-
ize for graduate students the vast scientific
collections and archives of the government
The model for such an institution is
found in a unique school of Paris which
Is, however, exclusively scientific In lis

CoLoRED TROOPS TO PARADE.
VIII Make a Showing of Their
Strength Thursday

StrenEtn thursday.
The colored military will parade Thurs
day to show its strength. There will be
all branches of the military in line, in
fantry, artillery and cavalry The COM
panies will be under command of Col
Deveaux.
All of the infantry companies have been
armed with the forty-five calibre guns,
and have the regulation uniform.
The parade will be in response to the
following order by Col. Deveaux, COM
manding the first battalion of infantry:
1.-The companies composing the battal-
ion are hereby ordered to appear at the
rendezvous, Liberty street, Thursday af-
ternoon, May 49, 1898, at o'clock, fully
uniformed, armed and equipped, without
leggins.
This is an occasion for every enlisted
man and officer to show his patriotism.
1t is hoped by the lieutenant colonel COM
manding, that this sentiment will be veri-
fed by every man being in line. The i'm
portance of the situation is sufficient to
urge each one of the commanders to do his
part in making this parade an excellent
one, in points of numbers in line, discipline
and appearance.
Immediately upon arrival at the rem
devious, each company must fall in at
his relative place in the line. The right
will rest on East Broad street.
Company D will be the color company.
and the Union cornet band will furnish
music.
Captains must keep in mind the obliga-
lions of the companies, which are to be at
tended to before the parade.

De Soto Hotel after the concert. There
are about forty members of the party, ana
they were given most enjoyable time
prior to their departure from the city.
The festival, taken as a whole, was one
of the most enjoyable musical events that
has ever been given in Savannah. Com
ing at a time when the war absorbs public
interest to such an extent that amuse-
ments are in a measure neglected, the
festival received a patronage which was
most fiattering TO those interested in its
management. Prof White, who trained
the splendid chorus, and Mr. Lippman,
who gave his time and energies 10 the
business management of the festival, de-
serve the eppreciative thanks of those who
enjoyed the concerts.

"The Boys Occasional" is the name
of paper Issued the past week in
Lexington by five bright boys under
twelve years of age. In their saIuta'
tory, among other bright thinge, the
boys say:
"Tht editors of this paper know
what long felt slipper lie, and some
people know what 1ong felt want
is. If the Occasional can give ~
much pleasure as long felt slipper
can give pain we know that we can
make spending money this summer
by selling this paper. 2
eve don't know whether we have
come to stay or not, as our sales have
not yet been made. We get this pa.
per out because we want to make
enough money to have jolly good
time this summer, and there may be
another circus coming to Lexington
later on, and newspaper clown is
always given Comps to circuses. A
free pass in. the hand is worth two in
the ticket wagon.
"Then again we must have some.
thing to do besides eat, sleep and
make noise. All the girls we love
are bigger'n we are and won't notice
us yet, but wsit-about next week we
are going to have a soda water 'sd,
and then watch 'em. We will drink
all the soda ourselves.
''We are going TO make a specially
of writing up big dinners, and if
anybody is going to give a big din
ner, why invite US and then we can
tell something about it in our next
issue. ..
Another speciality we are going to
make is to collect verything that is
owing to us; but if we owe anybody,
that's their fault and not ours.
ave are going to run this paper
long enough to get taxes reduced and
have the streets swept clean so that
we can find good place to play mar
bles.
ave keep our office open only to
receive MONEY. No green apples taken
in exchange tor subscription-only
greenbacks, and not frogs at that.
Our platform will be:
Less politics.
More circuses.
Plenty OF watermelons.

John t. Ter, son of Mr.. Will T. Ty-

away accident on Thursday. The lit
tie fellow was driving toward home
when some part Of the harness broke
and the horse became unmanageable.
The trenZ ed animal dashed up the
pike aud, when near home, threw the
child out of the buggy, his head strik-
ing a telephone poll. The little fellow
WAS picked up unconscious and car
ried into the house. AT first it was
thought he was badly injured, but we

along nicely and will soon be none the
worse for his very unpleasant and not
a little dangerous experience.
