and uncomfortable time. The officers and
men did not like their surroundings in the
old fort and they were also rendered un-
comfortable by the cold. The sudden
change in the weather made their blank
etless condition very Objectionable, and the
warmth they got was obtained through
sleeping in lunches. Some of the men
had a blanket each but there were others
who were unprovided. The weather was
quite cold enough to make two blankets
necessary for comfort.
All the heavy baggage of the regiment
is still at quarantine, and the officers do
not know when they will get it, AS long
as they are without it they cannot be as
comfortable in camp as they could be
with the convenience they have among

Observation-Disclosures

Describing these beautiful gardens, Mr.
George Hoyt-Smth of the Charleston
News and Courier has written:
Far up the Ashley, where the waters
from the Atlantic only ebb and flow Ian
guorously, where either bank is lined
for miles with the greenest marsh grass,
overhung by great moss-draped oaks,
there is a garden spot so lovely it seems
to have been dropped from fairy tale
1t is like the storied gardens, with beau
tifuliy kept walks, rustic bridges over
placid waters, canopy OF silver-gray moss
suspended from wide-spreading oaks, a
carpet of green velvet shot with violets-
and all around are walls of flowers. Here
is huge snow bank of white azaleas and
at its edge, dripping over against It like
a blood-red fountain, another great mass
of flowers; its neighbor, in turn, a shade
paler, and further and further on more
and more exquisite banks of blooms Here
and there a giant camelia japonica tree
raises its limbs, covered with smooth,
dark green leaves and wax-like flowers
red, mottled and white. Another turn in
the path and a beautiful rhodcdendron
comes in view, and over against the cot
tage, near the middle of the gardens, is a
blaze of golden banksias. There are do
zens of walks and acres upon acres of
flowers. The eyes are filed with color
and grace, the senses caressed by the in
toXicadng perfume from millions of fra
grant flower cups. 1t is a sight worth
travelling many miles to see"

RECEIVING HEAVY BAGGAGE.
second LOuisiana's Coming Up From
Quarantine.

Quarantine.
The Second Louisiana Regiment receiv-
ed part of its heavy baggage yesterday
from quarantine and the rest of il is TO be
taken from the Gordon wharf, where
The regiment landed on being brought up
10 the city, when it arrives to-day The
baggage was detained at the station to be
disinfecied with formaldehyde and bich,o-
ride of mercury.
Among the baggage were most of the
company and regimental records that are
needed in making up the accounts, check
ing and other work incident to the muster
out Of the regiment. When the records are
all got together, the mastering officers
viii be able 10 tell on what day the officers
and men can be discharged from the SER
vice. II is said the papers are in good
shape. and that there will be no delay
through time being spent in getting mat
ters in readiness for The mastering officers
10 begin their part.
Col Elmer Il. Wood said last night that
the regiment will probably be mustered
out about April 20. He bases his guess upon
what he has been told by the mastering
officers and the fact that the Two Hun
dred and Second New York Regiment.
which arrived three days before the Sec
ond Louisiana, is TO be mustered out on
April 10. II is judged about the same
length of time viii be necessary for the
discharge Of the Second as for the Two
Hundred and Second
When the men are mustered out of the
service they will receive handsome sums
from Uncle Sam. Two months extra pay
for services abroad will be coming to them,
and there will be pay due for March aud
a part of April, besides. In addition. there
will be the balance on clothing accounts
and travel pay to the points at which they
were enrolled in the service. Co. Wood
says each enlisted man will receive about
800. There will be no clothing account
balances coming to the officers. but they
viii get the extra pay for their services
in Cuba, and several hundred dollars will
be paid each of them.
The military duties imposed upon the
men now are of the lightest They do NOT
have drills, and they have TO be In camp
only when the roll is called. Guard is
mounted each day, and the camp has 10
be pohced, but there are none Of the Or
d'nary duties that have become so distaste-
ful to the men by this time. No passes
are required 10 come into the city. and
they can exercise their pleasure as to the
time for their visits, the only restriction
being that about being present to answer
60 their names at roll call.
Strict adherence 10 the rules has ali the
men In camp when the rolls are called
They realize that their pay depends upon
good conduct during the last days OF their
service. A general rule applies TO the
extra pay the men are TO receive. When
regiments have seen service out of the
country the soldiers cannot get the extr,
pay II they chance TO be in the guard
house at the time OF their muster out
This Is generally known among The msr
aud they are very careful TO see that thoy
are not guilty Of anything chat might
cause their arrest and detention for IiaI

NO SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
COMMISSIONERS LEAVE THAT MAT
TER TO GRAND JURY.

The Finance Committees work Upon
the County budget for the Year
BEGINNING March 1 1899, and End
ing February 2s, 1900, Completed.
The Estimate SI4s s,sOO-WIu BE
Submitted to the Grand Jury for
Its ApprOvaI-The school ApprO-
priatiOn Left TO BE Fixed by That
Body-LOuisviIIe Road to BE Com
pIeted to POOIer.
The finance committee OF the County
Commissioners met yesterday and com
pleted it's work upon the county budget
for the present year. The budget will be
submitted to the grand jury al the present
term Of the court for its approval.
The law requires that the expenditures
by the County Commissioners shall not
exceed the amounts allowed by the grand
jury for the various items. on this ac-
count, il is customary to place an outside
estimate upon each item, the expenditure
usually being less under each head than
the amount estimated and allowed by the
grand Jury The estimate is submitted in
March, while the tax levy is not made
until the succeeding August. With the
light of six months experience before
them the commissioners are usually able
10 make considerable reductions in the
estimates. For instance, last years esti-
mate as approved by the grand jury, WAS
for s233 600. while the tax levy made in
the following August was for only 1884,
900 Exclusive of the school apprOpriat ton,
the estimate for the present year is for
$l4s, 800, as compared with Sl4S,l00, exclusive
of the same appropriation last year.
1t will be observed that the committee
made no appropriation for the schools
I'm the budget 1t Is stated that the reason
for this is that no information or statis7
tics was furnished 20 the committee by the
Board of Education upon which ar esti-
mate could be based, and for the further
reason that this matter, being entirely
In the control of the grand jury, the
commissioners did not think IL worth while
20 fix the amount. The Board Of Educa-
ton appealed to the grand jury and pre-
vailed upon it to overrule the action of
the board last year, and, thinking that the
same thing might occur again, the com
missioners decided to leave the matter
entirely 10 the grand jury.
Exclusive of the school appropriation,
the following is the estimate of the cur
rent expenses of the county for the fiscal
year, beginning March l, lS99 and ending
Feb 2S 1900.
