A HANDSOME WEAPON.
a Happy Colonel who Doesn't Know
What Is in Store for Him.

The handsomest sword probably that
was ever seen in Savannah was exhibited
to an admirng crowd at the Pulaski yes
terday. It was in the hands of the agent
of a Cincinnati house. which manufactured
It to the special order Of a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose. The sword is to
be presented to the commanding officer OF
a volunteer regiment which has not yea
been mustered out. Whether that regi-
ment is located in Savannah or elsewhere
in the state the Morning News has been
requested not to announce as yet, as the
presentation is to be a complete surprise.
The fact most worthy of note in con-
nection with this forthcoming gift is that
the money for its purchase was entirely
subscribed by the enlisted men of the reg
iment. No commissioned officer was al
lowed to contribute a cent The sword
cost $500, and is said to be fully as hand
some as the one manufactured by the same
firm for Admiral Dewey by order of Con-

tn non MnIea.

The big sale of live stock, mentioned two
or three days ago by the Morning News as
a probability will be mad. The govern
ment will sell from 800 to 1000 mules at
auction.
The time for the sale has not yet been
set. Col. Behinger, depot quartermaster'
under whose management the sale Whi
take place, said yesterday it will prob
ably come off within three weeks.
The stock to be sold has not been con-
demned. All the mules viii be found In
very good condition, and it is thought
very good prices will be secured for them

Chiekamauga Park AT Macon the gov

animals sold, and it is expected that Just
as good prices VIII result here. There is
surplus of stock, and the number has 10

great benefit to Savannah. 1t will come
just after the whirl of busy days caused
by the muster out of the last regiments OF
volunteers, and the merchants and others
will fare very well from the influx OF
stockmen, farmers, turpentine and mill
men who will attend the sale.
When the stock was sold at Macon the
city had several hundred visitors who were
attracted by the prospect of buying a
good animal cheap. The sale was well ad-
vertised, and Col. BeIllnger will see that
the one to be had here is given the same
publicity.
The mules are now a the corrals east of
the city. Many of them were brought
from the West Indies, while others were
gathered up from the various camps in
the South as they were abandoned Many
of the animals have had but little work to
DO in a long while and are in prime condi-
ton. The scars of their service have left
them, and they look sleek and fit.
