VERY LUCKY BOY.

Falls From the Balcony of n Theater
and Escapes Serious Injury.
Chicago, Jan. 5.-James Cadier, four
teen years of age, leaned too far over
the balcony railing in Hopkins thea
ter and as a result he went laundering
down among the people in the par
quette. How he missed falling upon
somebody is a wonder, but he went
straight down between two rows of
seats and touched nothing but the
floor. He touched this first with the
top Of his head and then with his
shoulders. Luck was with him to the
last, however, and he sustained moth
ing more serious than a cash on the
head. He was taken to the hospital
and will recover

The brother of the khedive of Egypt

The brother of the khedive of Egypt
who gives up his chance for a cheap
little throne in order to marry an
American woman is not entitled to
large praise. AS the khedive he would
have very limited authority under the
control of the English government, and
between the office and the lady there
could be only one sensible choice Who
wouldn't give up the toll and trial of
that office for an American woman?
The man is mighty lucky to have the
chance.

THIRD VIRGINIA REGIMENT.


There is not much prospect OF the
Third regiment being mustered out be-
fore the middle of next week.
1t had been thought that the men
would receive their pay and final dis
charge by Saturday, but it was about
agreed yesterday that this date was too
eIrly by four or five days.
There is an Immense amount of work
connected with the muster-out OF a
regiment, and though every one who
has had to do any of this work has pro-
ceeded with all speed possible, it is of a
kind with which regulars, as well as
volunteers, are entirely unfamiliar,
hence progress has been slow.
Yesterday was spent by the sur
geons who have been making the phys
zeal examinations of the men in con-
sidering those cases in which there is
conflict between surgeons and men as
to the presence Of disabilities contract
ed in the line Of duty. About dozen
Of the sixty-odd OF such cases as these
have not been disposed of, but it is ex
pected that they will be finished to-
day
Yesterday afternoon the members Of
Company Z, Third regiment (Lynch-
burg Home Guard, showed their high
appreciation of Sergeant Granville r
Lewis by electing him captain, to sue
caed Captain w. S. Faulkner, who was
lately appointed by the Governor to a
captaincy in the Sixth Virginia regi-
ment.
The men of the Third regiment who
are being fed at the old Exchange by
Mr.. Thomas Hulcher are making very
strong complaints of the food given
them, both as to its quality and the
manner in which it is being prepared.
They also complain that their dishes
are not thoroughly washed after each
meal Some of the men do not eat at
the Exchange, preferring to board else
where. The officers board at the he
tells.
An officer of one of the companies said
yesterday that he did not think the men
had real cause of complaint that the
fare was not sumptuous, but that he
thought it as good as they had right
to expect.
The officers of the regiment will
have banquet soon-a farewell spread.
Arrangements are already made, but
the date has not been fixed. In add
ton to the fortytwo officers, represent
ing the staff and line, who will be pres
ent, it is understood that number Of
invited guests will sit down at the
board.
There is great interest manifested
smong the officers of the Second
and Third regiments as to whom h
Governor will commission as captain TO
take the place of the ninth colored Off
Ger who recently resigned from the
Sixth, only eight having been appoint
ed. 1t is generally believed that the
choice lies between Captain Grimsley,
of Company B, Third regiment, and
Capt. b ssieux, Company n Second regi
