I He LONE STAR FLAG.

We were asked by friend, yes
tcriav, what were the colors of the
Lone Star Flag. Not being able to
answer at the moment, we have
thought, perhaps, a correct answer
would be interesting to the great
majority of our people who never
saw 1t. The first revolutionary flag
raised in Texas was, if we aTe cor
rcctly informed, the celebrated flag
Independence, at Goliad, by Capt.
Vim Brown, in 1885. This was Il
white arm, in the attitude of fstriking
with bloody sword. Its signiti-
cance was, that the white man should
rule where that. flag waved. In the
same year. a company of vo. .unteers
was raised in Harrisburg, in this
county, and presented by Miss Sarah
r. Dobson with flag of white, red
and blue, and with a white, five
pointed star, set in a ground OF red.
This is believed to have, been the
first lone star flag in Texas. In the
same year, as Col. Ward was march
inc With his command from Macon
10 Columbus, Ga, on their way to
Texas y daughter Of Col Troutman,, ,,
Of Kaoxviltc, presented q flag of
whitc silk, with an azure star in the
eontro, to the company. The in
seliption on one side was Liberty
or Death" On the other, the Latin
motto. 6 Ubi Libertas habitat, ibi
no8tra patria est Where Liberty
dwelIs, there is my country" This
flag was unfurled at Velasto, in Jan
nary, 1886, and floated from the
same pole with Capt. Browns flag
Of Independence, which had been
broaent in from Goliad.
1'he Lone Star was adopted as the
national standard of Texas by Con-
gross then in session at Columbia,
fecember 10, 1886. We copy the
description from the Telegraph of
December 22d, 1886:
9 30 it further enacted. dc, That
for the future, there shall be ma
tional flag, to be demonstrated the
National Standard of Texas, the con-
Formation of which shall be an azure

star central, thirteen stripes prolon-
ecd alternate red and white, be, and
the same is hereby ratified and con-
irmed, and adopted as the future
national flag for the naval service
tor tie Republic of Texas"
The glorious flag ofthe Lone Stal
is deer to every Texian. 1t waived
jiroudly over free country, which
irne .aeli wrested from the dominion
of ihe savages. Tears flowed from
eyes Ill unused to weeping when II
,yas hauled down from the flag staff

f,snored. There are many OF thost
sturdy spirits still left, who glorlec

crs have been attracted hither by
the history of this country, by IT
unexampled advantages, by the low
cf libcrty that dwells among on
people. Many of them love th'

love Texas more Whatever may

THE RICHEST WOMAN IN Eng


Mr.. Anderson was much impress
ed with Miss Coutts, and presents
us, SAYS the Home Journal, with IL
warm culogy of her character, and
a sketch of her establishment: "The
richest woman in England is Miss
Burdett Coutts, to whom Dickens
dedicated his Chuzzlewit.' Her for
tune is said to be fabulously large,
but the most glorious thing connect
ed with it,is, that she is at the same
time one of the noblest and most
benevolent ladies in the world; not
only has she built several churches,
but she provides, like a reasonable
and christian woman, for the poor,
the ailing, and the, oppressed her
house in London is visited by the
richest and most respected persons.
On my first stay at Gadshill | met
there an elderly lady dressed in
black, and another younger; they
remained week there, and were
most amiable, straightforward and
kind. We walked together up to
the monument; drove with them
to Rochester, and when they quit
ed us the younger lady said that l
must stay at her house when | visit
ed London. From Dickens learn
ed that she was Miss. Coutts He
spoke with the utmost venoration
Of her, and of the glorious Christian
use to which she applied her enor-
nous fortune; / should have an OPP
portunity of seeing an English man
sion appointed with all possible
wealth, | visited her, and it was
not the rich pictures, the bedizened
hangings, the palatial resources,
which impaired to the house gran
deur and peculiar brilliancy, but
the noble, feminine, amiabe Miss
Coutts herself, she offered such q
simple and touching contrast To her
richly attired servants Sc had no
ticed that l felt the cold while in the
country; it was moi yet thoroughly
warm, hence a fire burned cheiily
in my chimney. How comfortable
| felt there There were books,
cosy arm chairs, sofas and rococo
furniture, and from the windows a
prospect over the garden of Picca-
dilly and the Green Park. Close to
London are Miss Coutts' country
houses and garden; here are long
alleys of rhododendrons, which shook
their blue petals over the carriage
in which ! was seated; here were
magnificent cedars and rare exoticst
while the hot houses were filled with
tropical vegetation. From all these
splendors the owner led me to 8
small kitchen garden, where she
seemed. fondest of being; 1t seemed
as if these plants, which possessed
! such value to the poor, harmonized
best with her nature.

Prince of Wales grandfather, ther
