The effort of a few Democratic papers
to make party capital out of the back
pay matter, is fittingly rebuked by the
Memphis Avalanche, which says:
"At any time the Democrats could
have defeated it. Asplendid opportu-
nifty to plant themselves on the solid
rock of virtue and reform was in their
grasp. Did they avail themselves of
it? Not if the official records tell the
truth. A majority of them voted for
the infamous measure. Others, afraid
to vote for it, but yearning for their
prospective share of the robbery,
lodged at roll-call, and when the bill
became law rushed to the Treasury to
secure their extra money early, to
avoid accidents"

SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE COLOR OF
HAIR.-Two sudden changes of the
color of hair from black TO white are
reported in foreign medical magazine.
1t appears that physician of Berlin, a
strong, healthy, and less than middle
aged man, sent his wife and one daugh-
ter to spend last summer at watering
place. The sday that he expected a
letter informing him of their arrival,
there came one saying that his daught-
er had been taken sick very suddenly,
and was already dead. The shock was
terrible, and instantly his hair became
entirely gray. He had to visit some
patients that same afternoon, and they
scarcely recognized him. Their pecu-
liar actions revealed the change to him.
The other case was of a man 35 years
old, living in the Netherlands. He
was one day passing the canal in Rot
terdam, when he saw child struggling
in the water. He plunged in and
brought it to land, but it was already
dead by the time he had rescued its
body. Beuding over it to try to restore
life, he discovered that the dead child
was his own son. The blow, so sudden
and unexpected, and coming upon him
when he himself was so much exhaus-
ted, turned his hair entirely gray, and
left him scarcely recognizable.

The Original Stars and Stripes


The Original Stars and Stripes
Some interesting facts in regard to
the first flag of the United States are
given in Hayper's Magazine for July:
The construction of the first nation
al standard of the United States, as a
design, from which the 'Stars and
Stripes" was afterward adopted, took
place under the personal direction of
General Washington, aided by COM
mittee of Congress, authorized to de-
sign a suitable flag for the nation," at
Philadelphia, June, 1777.
This took place at the residence Of
Mrs. Ross, relative of Colonel Ross,
in Arch street, between Second and
Third, where Gen. Washington and
the committee completed the design,
and employed Mrs. Ross to execute the
work. The house is still standing No.
239). Mrs. Ross was afterward Mrs.
Claypoole. Her maiden name was
Griscom, and, according to the fashion
of the times, she was called "Betsy."
Betsy Griscom had, before the Revo-
luton, acquired some knowledge of the
"upholder" trade, as it was then called
-an occupation synonymous with that
of the modern upholsterer-and at the
time mentioned was carrying on busi-
ness On her own account in her little
shop. One day, probably between the
23d Of May and the 7th of June, 1777,
during which period Washington was
in Philadelphia, there came to her the
Commander-in-chief, the Hon. George
Ross, and other gentlemen, members
of Congress, who desired to know
whether she could make them a flag
according to a design which they could
produce. She intimated her willing.
ness to try. Tho design was for flag
Of thirteen red and white stripes, al
ternate, with a union, blue in the field,
spangled with thirteen six-pointed
stars. Mrs. Ross expressed her willing
ness to make the flag, hut suggested
that the stars would be more symme-
trical and pleasing ia the eye if made
with five points, and she showed them
now such a star could be made, by fold
ing piece of paper and producing the
pattern by a single cut. Hrr plan was
approved, and she at once proceeded tc
make the flag which was finished the
next day. Mrs. Boss was given sthe
position of manufacturer of flags for
the Government, and for some years
size was engaged in that Occupation.--
The business descended to her children,
and was carried on by her daughter,
Ciirissa Claypoole, who voluntarily re-
iinqui8hed il on becoming a member of
the Society of Friends, lest her handi-
work should lie used in time of war.

The Condition of the Crops-Syn.
opsis from the June Report of the
Agricultural Department.
The Agricultural Report for the
month ofJune, 1873, will contain the
following valuable information relative
to the condition Of the crops:
wHEATCRoP.
The returns for the month Of June
show that of 753 counties reporting in
regard to winter wheat, 2S3 report an
acreage equal to that of last year; 263
an increased and 207 a diminished
acreage. OF 500 counties reporting
spring wheat, 172 report an increased
acreage; n an acreage equal to that Of
tine previous year, and 81 decrease.
In New England, Maine reports de-
crease of 10 per cent, Vermont 2i per
cent, and Massachusetts, per cent. in
winter wheat. In spring wheat they
are all below last year except Maine,
where the increase is per cent.
Upon careful estimate of all the
conditions OF growth as yet apparent,
the wheat prospect is at least as favor
able as at this time last year, when the
yield was estimated at 5000, 900
bushels. With equally favorable con-
ditions for the remainder of the..season,
a crop of 2jO,0OO,O 900 bushels may be
