II monuments could be built by resolution
tie United states could to-day boast of hav-
Ing some of the most imposing monumental
shafts IN the world. George Bancroft. the
historian and statesman, reminds the mayor
OF Boston of the fact that as far back as Oc-
tober, Isl, Congress pledged the country to
erect monument OF marble at Yorktown
Virginia in cOmmemOratiOn OF the surren-
der OF the British army at that place to the
American and French forces. and suggests
That such monument would not only be the
redemption OF pledge and lasting monu-
ment OF the battle. but also a testimonial of
the reconciliation which has received such
an impetus AT the recent centennial at Bun
ker HILL The mayor of Boston recommends
that Boston take the iniative IN the matter
by getting up monster petition TO Con-
gresS. with the expectation that other cities
will DO tie same. The city councu has al
ready appointed special committee tocOl-
slider the suggestion OF the mayor.

The First Confederate Flag

The Charleston IS. C,)j Nc,es says;
AT recent meeting the Pimetto Guard
weru made the recipients Of the FIRST
Confederate flag raised in tho late sttug-
gle, and as this banner WIS identified
with the carec. Of the company it is
doubly priced as a relic Of the past.
The donor, Mr.. John S. Bird, Of Lanrens.
an Old member of fthe company in q recent
letter accompanying the flag, thus gives
its history: 'm 1860 bsfore the passage
Of the ordinance of secession .b7 this
State, Captain Edward Mills, Of the bark
Jones, belonging to ths Palmetto L'ne Of
New York packet. raisea this flag at his
masthead In New York harbor, aud his
vessel was rhobbea, but they could not
compel him to strike bis coIots. s0a his
return gold>headed palmetto cane was
presented TO him BY some Palmetto
Guard, and in he transferred totbem
the custody Of the aig. Tho secession Of
the State was quickly followed by agrees
siye military movements, and the Gag
accompanied the Palmetto Guard in their
various enclmpments, AT the siege Of
Sumter it marked their parade ground.
and was used in the truce boat that met
the Uuited States barges. The Palmetto
Guard occupied the fort immediately af.
ter the surrender Of Anderson, and this flag
was the 6rst raise Ion its walls, after the
salute, and lefore F.J. Moses, Jr., had
arrived at tho fort. Tho flag remained
with the company until they were mus
tered for the war, aud was then taken by
Mr.. Bird to his home, and has since re-
mained in his charge. Time and expos,
ure have dimmed tue luster of the old
relic, but the Palmetto Guard only
prize it the more and have accorded it an
Lonored place. The field Of the flag is
white, with green palmetto tree in the
center. and red star in the upper corner
near the staff. When tie Palmetto

How TRANSMISSION of Blood
Operated on Brown.

Brown was very sick little while ago
and the doctors we're about to give him
up. 1t is rarely that doctors will give up
anything. but they were very near giving
up Brown. Although Brown wasn't very
desperate himself, yet tho doctors assured
his case was, and furthermore told him
that desperate cases required desperate
remedies. They said there was only one
thing that could possibly save him, and
that was TRANSMISSION of blood. They
must find some perfectly healthy man
who would submit to having quantity
Of blood injected from his veins into those
of Brown. Brown asked them indig.
nantly if they thonght they could pick
him up for (blood) sucker in that way
but they said he must do that or die, and
1t wouldn't do to give it up so Mr..
Brown so be consented. They sent for
Jones. Browns particular friend. though
it would seem that man wasn't very
very particular who would allow himself
to be tapped in way like that. The
operation was performed in a perfectly
satisfactory manner, and Brown got we'll.
Aud nov the strangest part Of this sto.
~ is to be told. Brown imagines that he
is Jones, and behaves in the most absurd
manner on account Of that delusion. He
wears clothes several sizes too large for
him, because Jones is fat while he is lean
Jones is a bald-headed man, aud Brown,
who lad a good head Of hair, buys all the
hair restoratives he sees advertised, and
is rapidly reducing himself to Jones
condition. Jones is an expert swimmer,
and Brown, who cant swim q stroke. has
been hauled ont Of the river in half
drowned condition several times, having
recklessly given himself % the waves.
One drink makes Brown sick while Jones
can hold barrel, and the condition Of
the man who fancies be is Jones may be
imagined. after be has been over the
Rhine Of a Sunday night. tAk
The other night Mrs. Brown missed
her husband and went in search Of him.
Found him sitting up with a plump wie>
ow--Jones' plum widow whom be was
engaged to marry--the we'll known pr,>
pensity Of widows to accommodate them
selves to circumstances preventing her
from discovering the mistake. Mrs.
Brown led him home by the ears, bo
protesting all the while she ought to be
ashamed Of herself, taking Jones home
with her while her husband was away.
Brown attends oil the funerals that
occur in the Jones family. occupying the
front seat with mourners and weeping
bitterly. He is sane in one thing though
--7he absolutely refuses to pay any of
] Jones' debts. But then Jones never
pays cent himself.

The situation is very embarrassing for
