The Paris correspondent of the London Times
writes to that Journal: IA book just puhllahed
by II. Gustayo Desjardins, on French national
enblems, has revived the question mooted noarly
two wears ago as to the historical claims OF tho.
White Flag. II. Desjardns contends that up to
1889 Franco had no national flag, hut that every
regiment had its own standard decorated with a
white badge, tho old Huguanot symbol which
WIS adopted by Henri ~. As for the white
oornet, which he r.gards as the ancestor OF tha
White Flag, it WAS introduced in the middle OF
mand. But Charles TX. and Henri ". nero the
only Kings who used it, though mp to the ReTolu-
ton every Colonel was entitled to display it. Tha
cockade varied in different regiments but in l767
theinfantry received q white cockade, aud under
ho Louis XVI. it was extended to the cavalry. In
thonavy, both blue and red were originally hoist
ed, then blue alone; while Louis XVI. reserved
the White Flag for his own vessel, allowing
merchant vessels, however, to employ it coupled
with some distinctive badge. In the eigh-
sally adopted the White Flag. Tho colors
OF Paris, red and blue, displayed after
the fall Of the Bastille, formed, in conjunc-
tion with the white cockade OF the troops, tho
tricolor cockade, and tho colors becoming na-
tionsl were transferred the aags. NJ Desjardins
intimateo that the Enaigzes and Vendeens were
mistaken in regarding the Whi:e Flag as the en-
sign Of Henri ~. The Lesitim:ass, however. cite
the authority Of Faryn, 1870. who mentioned the
white cornet ~ the national color, and Benston,

members present said ''aye" or said
nothing, and SO George had it his own
way. It is NEST too thin, this contin-
ual procrastination There is business
before the Board which ought to be
attended to at once, and those men,
bers who were present ought to have
voted down a motion for adjournment
so quick that it would have made
Georges head swim. We have done

Another Little Steal by Gov
Taylor.

Governor Taylor's last and latest re
vealed piece Of thievery is in keeping
with his general character The sum
is only Fifteen Dollars, sufficiently
large however to at tract attention as
well as reveal the littleness of Wiscon~
sins Executive. 1t seems that Gov
Taylor is debtor to the Stgte in the
sum of $500. Now under the laws Of
the State regulating the payment of
the interest upoa such claims penalty
Of 3 per cent. is imposed if the inter-
est be not paid by the last day of
May. On the 3rd of June Gov. Tay-
lor made application to pay the inter
est due, and received his receipt in
Guiding the penalty Of per cent.
amounting to SI5. On the 9th day
of June, the economical "Reformers, "
made new papers for Gov. Taylor dat
ing them back to May 31st, in which
the penalty of 3 per cent. was omitted
These Gov. Taylor took and paid his
little interest money saving to himself
the little sum of $500 which right
fully belonged to the State. Six other
persons paid their interest and penalty
but VIM. R. Taylor sneaked OUT like
the rascal he is, and pocketed from the
State Treasury the sum of FIFrEEN
DOLLARS.
These facts are shown upon the rec
ords at Madison, and partially explain
why MIR. Cadwalader refused to allow
the records to be examined only a
short time ago. What series of in
dictments is made cut against our Re
form Governor ! How each day pre-
SCENTS HIM to the world a most consum
ate thief and liar IN whom there is no
integrity, and very little intelligence.

Discouraged.

It is reported that Gov. Taylor, the
Cottage Grove bounty broker, has lost
all hope of being reelected, since his
disreputable practices have been SO
thoroughly exposed, and that his man
ayers are having a great deal of trou-
BILE to keep him from Withdrawing from
the canvass altogether. -Sheboygan

told for politicai,efect. The following
from the Sentinel more fully states the
facts OF that disgraceful transaction.
And the people are asked to support
such a man for Governor
A number of years ago, while Mr..
Taylor was superintendent of poor for
Dane County, member of the Board
OF Supervisors said that there was a
good deal of dissatisfaction about the
management of that department and
moved that an investigation be had.
The motion prevailed, and the mover
was made chairman of the committee
appointed for'that purpose Heenter-
ed upon the work at once, and took
possession OF the books; but the very
next day friend of Mr. Taylor NOV
ed that the committee be instructed to
report at once. The Chairman pro
tested that sufficient time had not been
allowed that it would require several
days to examine the books. and that
he had only made sufficient progress to
report that there seemed to be GOOD
reason for a thorough investigation.
While he was thus speaking, Mr.. lay
lor sprang at him and struck him a Sc
we're blow IN the face, ilficting a Sc
rious wound Thus the chairman was
incapacit&Jed, and the Investigation
did not proceed.
1t was very simple process, surely,
of disposing Of an inquisitive member;
but if Mr.. Taylor had been an honest
officer, why should he have sought to
avoid an examination of his books, and
why should he have made rufianly
assault upon q supervisor for no other
offense than insisting upon a full and
fair investigation? The affair cannot
fail to suggest to the reader the recent
threats Of kicking that were heard
from the Reform officers Of the STATE
at the time when Gen. Monteith sought
and was refused permission to inspect
the public records.

4 Wisconsin Weather Prophet

The difficulties with weather predic-
lions are generally that they are not
calculated with reference to home con-
ditions. This, however, is regulated
this time, by Wisconsin savant, Prot
Henry Kr@ger, an aged citizen OF
German birth, who lives in Wisconsin,
and has made the weather his study
for ffty-ene years. He prophesies
thus:
After the'next new moon shows the
last bit of It's face, we shall have the
pleasantest autumn we have had in
many years. Early in November there
will be some cold days, but it will be
mild and pleasant during most Of the
