Rumor has II that the offcers OF the navy are
desrous OF having the bill passed for placing all the
retired oncers Of the navy on duty the same as the
law now in force for che army, and also to place
them upon the same basis Of those OF the army by
giving them seventy-nv per centum OF their pay.
This would seem no more than just. Should this
bill, now before Congress, pass to o law, NUMBER
OF the officers now in command Of squadrons would
necessarily soon give place 10 other rear admiraiS
to take their commands.
The following ofncers have retired or win retire

'There are two great troubles
about a newspaper one grows

he calls it-perhaps he means
IDoL-and is always trying to
reach it, and never does, which
IS very strange. Some people
believe that there is a fortune
IN every newspaper in the
whole world, from Nova Zem-

people are very honest, very
sincere, and very innocent in
this belief. If they had to try

was brought from its resting
place and given once more to
the winds. Rent and bruised
and crimson with the blood of
heroes-it had never been dis
honored. Missouri breezes had
felt the Tapping of its silken
folds; women's imperial had
decorated itwith battle mottos:
sweet, coy victory-her locks
heavy with the dust Of conflicts
and red with the blood Of mar
tyrs-had caressed it often and
tenderly; ambition had plumed
1t with the royal crest o. tri-
umph; fate and dear dauntless
hearts had borne it flashing
like a meteor upon the rough
stormy waves of battle waters;
shining like the face ola strug-

Burial of Shelby's Flag.
BY COL. A. W. sLAYBAcK, OF ST. LOUIS.

BY COL. A. W. sLAYBACK, OF ST. LOUIS.
July sun, in torrid cline beamed on an
exile band,
Who, in suits of gray,
Stood in mute array
On the banks of the Rio Grande,
They were dusty and faint with their long
dreary ride;
And they paused when they came to the
river side,
For its wavelets divide,
With their flowing tide
Their own dear land, of youth, hope, and
pride,
And comrades graves who in vain had died
From the strangers home in the land M tried
Above them waved the Confederate flag,
with its fatal cross Of stars,
That had always been
In the battles din,
Like penon of potent Mars,
And there curved from the crest of their
leader plume
That the brave had followed in joy aud
gloom.
That was ever in sight
In the hottest fight
A Haunting dare for soldiers tomb,
For the marksmens aim and the cannon s
boom,
But it bore charm from the hand Of doom
Forth stepped that leader and sail to the
faithful few around,
This tattered rag
Is the only flag
That floats on Dixie ground,
And this plume that | tear from the hat |
wear
OF all my spells is my only share;
And brave men | swear,
That no foe shall dare
To lay his hald on our standard there;
Its folds were braided by fingers fair;
lis the emblem now of their deep dispair
Its cause is lost. And the men it led on many
a glorious field;
In disputing the tread
Of invaders dread
Have been fOrced at last TO Weld,
But this banner and plume have not been to
blame.
No exulting eye shall behold their shame;
And these relics so dear
In the water here
Before We cross shall burial claim:
And while yon rnontains NAV bear a name
Shey shall stand as monuments of our fame
Tears stood in eyes that had looked on deaf .
in every awful form
Without dismay,
But the scene that day
Was sublimer than mountain storm . .
lis easy TO touch the vetran's heart
With the finger of nature, but not of art.
While the noble of soul
Lose self-cOntrol,
When called on with flag, home and COUNT '
to part,
Base bosoms are ever too callous to start.
With feelings that generous natures can
smart
They buried then that flag and plume in
the rivers rushing tide
Ere that gallant few,
Of the tried and true
Had been scattered far and wide,
And that group of Missouri's valinnt thror @.
Who had fought for the weak sgainst the
strong
Who had charged and bled
Where Shelby led,
Were the last who held above the wave
The glorious flag of the vaDqushed brave,
Nomore to rise from its watery gravel
