every vote cast in that body was free from
party prejudice or partiality, and done for
the good OF the whole people, regardless of
nationality, color or political complexion; ;
particularly do We acknowledge and admire
his self-sacrifcing spirit, and the indomita-
ble energy with which he discharged the
Onerous duties he considered due from an
Official to the peOple-performing his labOrs

ton and win the esteem, praise and graft
tude, not only from the members OF his own
party, but from the people of the whole

Some interesting facts in regard to the
first flag of the United States are given in
HdTper's MagasiHe for July:
''The construction of the first National
standard of the United States, as design,
from which the Stars and Stripes was after
wards adopted, took place under the per
sOnal direction of General Washington,
aided by committee of Congress author
lied to design a suitable flag for the nation,
at Philadelphia, juno, 1777.
This took place at the residence of Mrs.
Ross, relative of Col. Ross, in Arch
street, between Second and Third, where
Gen. Washington and the committee COM
pleted the design, and employed Mrs. Ross
to execute the work. The house is stand
ing mo. 239). Mrs. Ross was afterwards
Mrs. ClaypOole. Her maiden name was
Griscom, and, according to the fashion Of
the times, she was called Betsy
''Betsy Griscom had, before the revOlu-
ton, acquired some knowledge of the up
holder trade, as it was then callcd-an oc-
cupation synonymous with that of the mod
ern upholsterer-and at the time mentioned
was carrying on business on her own ac-
count in her little shop. One day, probably
between the twenty-third of May and the
fifth OF June, 1777, during which period
Washington was in Philadelphia, there came
to her the commander-in-chief, the honora-
BILE George Ross, and other gentlemen,
members of Congress, who desired to
know whether she could make them flag
according to a design which they would
produce. She animated her willingness to
try. The design was for flag Of thirteen
red and white stripes, alternate, with a
union, blue in the field, spangled with thir-
teen six pointed stars. Mrs. Ross expressed
her Willingness to make the flag, but sug-
gested that the stars would be more sym
metrical and pleasing to the eye il made
with five points, and she showed them how
such a star could be made, by folding a
piece of paper, and producing the pattern
by single cut. Her plan was approved,
and she at once proceeded TO make the flag,
which was finished the next day. Mrs.
Ross was given the position Of manufacturer
Of flags for the government. and for some
years she was engaged in that occupation.
The business descended. TO her children,
and was carried on by her daughter, Claris-
sa ClaypOole, who voluntarily rclinquished
it on becoming member Of the Society of
Friends, lest her handiwork should be used
in time of war"
