Hrom tme FnAa4os PnW age.
Last evening an interesting meeting Of
the Pennsylvania Historical Society was
held. Col. John Snowden occupied the
chair, and William J. Candy, Esq, read
an essay upon The American Flag.
He discovered. in tracing the history of this
national emblem, that the first instances
when the Stars and Stripes were unfurled
were at the siege Of Fort Schuyler, Aug.
II, 1777, and upon an occasion about one
year prior to that time, the brig Nancy
was chartered by the Continental Congress
to procure military stores in the West In
dies, during the latter part Of 1875.
While at Porto Rico, in July of the ensu-
ing year, the information came that the
colonies had declared their independence,
and with this information came the descrip-
ton Of the flag that had been accepted as
the national banner. A young man, Capt.
Thomas Vaudeville, set to work to make
one, and successfully accomplished it. The
flag was unfurled, and saluted with thir-
teen guns. When the brig Nancy was
upon her return voyage, she was hemmed
in BY British vessels of Cape May. Her
officers succeeded in removing all her mu-
nitons to the shore, and when the last
boat put of, a young man in it, John Han
cock, jumped into the sea, swan to the yes
sci, ran up the shrouds Of the mast, and,
securing the flag, brought it triumphantly
to shore, through a hot fire from the Brit
ish men-of-war.
The first American flag. however, &C
cording to the design and approval Of
Congress, was made by Mrs. Elizabeth
Ross. Three Of her daughters still live in
our vicinity to confirm this fAct-founding
their belief, not upon what they saw, for It
was made many years before they were
born, but upon what their mother had
often told them. A niece Of this lady, Mrs.
Margaret Boggs, aged o5 years. who now
lives in Germantown, is conversant with
the fact. The fact is not generally known
that to Philadelphia not only belongs the
honor Of finging the first star-spangled
banner to the breeze, but to Philadelphia
lady belongs the honor of having made it.
The house in which it was made still
stands-No. 239 Arch street (the old No.
being 0)Hthe last Of an old row. It is
related that when Congress had decided
upon the design, Col. George Ross ard
Gen. Washington visited Mrs. Ross and
asked her to make it. She said, {" / don't
know whether can. but Til try" and d.
rectly suggested to the gentlemen that the
design was wrong, in that the st..rs were
six-conered and not 6ve-cornered as they
should be. This was corrected, she made
the flag, Congress accepted it, and for half
a dozen years this lady furnished the Gov
eminent With all its national flags, having.
Of course, a large assistance. This lady
was also the wife Of Claypole, one Of the
lineal descendants Of Oliver Cromwell

MECHANICS HoNEs.-Owing to the vast area
limits il Is easier for man with moderate
means TO purchase his own home, than In
metropolitan New York, or other compact
cities We have land sufficient within the
boundsrie Of the city, upon which 70 build .
home for every mechanic in the State, and
then have an abundance TO spare. Having the
material, II would seem that we possess also
the spirit to utalizs it Il ls with q peculiar
grati6casi that We notice and assent to this
claim, as we have so seldom an opportunity of
saying anything indicative Of spirit upon the
part of our city's work people. Yet, We are
scarcely justified in ordainiDg to ourselves any
especial credit for shs facilities here afforded
mechanics in the way Of accommodations. Il
does not require . display Of m inordinate
smocpt Of go-ahsadativeness to take i'd
vantage Of that condition Of things, created BY
putting into mans hands both material and
tools, when q necessity for the article to be
fashioned already exists, and that ID precisely
Philadelphiss case. The ground upon which
to build, We have in profsse abundance, while
few men, several generations ahead of their
contemporaries, have bought up 90 assiduously
the ground rent" and building association
phases Of corporation, that the most stupid
have been actually forced TO recognize their
intrinsic value, and they have become to be
what are not Incorrectly titled Pennsylvania
peculiarities. 1t is estimated that from fifteen
to twenty millions Of dollars are invested in
the business Of erecting houses for sale In this
city. It's owners certainly have no cause to
complain Of their Investment, which net thom
return of about sixteen per cent. The
houses put up BY this investment are priuci-
pally bonus houses, put up 70 sell without any
regard to substance. Thrown together" is
the comprehensive phrase applied to them BY
mechanics Nevertheless, these houses are q
benefit to mechanics, including those who can
not afford to buy, in that they increase the 81 p
ply Of houses for rentage, and Of . consequence
keep rents at Q lower figure than they would
otherwise be. Il is to the English Institution
Of Building Associations, however, that Phil
adelphi principally owes its reputation for the
possession of more moderate houses for
moderate MEANS" than any other city in the
country. There are probably between one o,
two thousand Of these associationsin our city
the average disbursements Of each. being about
one thousand dollars monthly. Az the only
security taken BY these associations is real
estate, from this it appears, that there are q
least twelve millions of dollars annually in
vested By them. In view Of these facts, Il
ceases TO be q matter of wOnderment that oul
city contains more buildings than New Yorl
and Brooklyn combined. and that Jet growing
Il bids fair to soon cover its entire surface with
brick and mortar.
