A DISAPPOINTMENT Somebody tells
the following joke on the irrepresslbie
genius, Geo. Francis Train:
GAS an illustration of Mr.. Trains IN
tense patriotism, we may relate that he
ri, one occasion sent his wife on q nine
ty days voyage from Australia to New
York, that their coming child might be
horn on American soil, as it would be-
come a possible future President Of the
United States. The journey was 9
most troublesome one, and the lady
came very near being shipwrecked; but
at last reached the country in safety
The child was born, and it was a girl.

He was reelected Captain, promoted for

to the staff of General Stonewall Jackson.
At the battle of Charlottesville, Major
Rogers was among the members OF General
Jackson's staff who were struck down with
him on the occasion when Jackson receiv-

When, in 1865 Major Rogers conceived
the new design of the flag, he was stationed
at Chafin's Bluff, on the James, in command
of that defence. General Lee, in letter
to General S. Cooper, Adjutant General
