THE NATIONAL FLAG.

The one hundredth anniversary of the
adoption of the stars and stripes as the
national flag of the United States occurs on
the fourteenth of June; but the flag, with
its thirteen stripes-alternste red and white
has not, by any means, been in use q
hundred years. The first Union flag dis
played, was the one unfurled before the
army at Cambridge, on the first of January,
1778, aud was formed of thirteen white
and red stripes, over which was depicted
rattlesnake, with the motto: "Dont tread
on me-" From that time different de-
tachments of the army had flags of differ
ent designs, but our national flag, if it can
be said there was any, was one combining
the crosses of St. Geooge and st. Andrew,
with thirteen stripes alternate red an
white. This was the recognized national
ensign, until the subject was brought to the
notice of the continental congress, and it
was resolved by that body, June IA, 1777,
that the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white, and that the union be thir-
teen stars white on a blue field, repre-
"senting new constellation"
Although the stars and stripes were thus
authoralively made the national flag, it
does not seem to have been generally rec
ognized as such, for we find that, in Cou-
ders painting of the siege of Yorktown, ; it
is represented with seventeen stripes in
Trumbull's Surrender of CORVALLIS, with
fourteen stripes ana Smith and Watson,
in their American historical and literary
curiosities, represent it as composed of sew
enteen white and red stripes, the union ex-
tending over nine stripes, being charged
with rattlesnake and SO late as 1879,
according to Watson, Paul Jones bore a
similar flag when, with the Alliance, he
dashed through the British fleet of twenty.

The Times California.

A letter-writer sa.. People east who
have money could It do better than to
come out here in ordeto take advantage
of the reckless way inwhich all kinds of
property are sold. Vuable farms and
ranches can now be hadfor one-twenteth
of their value, and city Eoperty is for sale
at prices which would hae seemed ridicu-
lous few years back. he depression is
30 great that it cannot lastmuch longer in
this way. But the sufferinlis intolerable,
and bad as times have bep in the east,
they are as naught comparedwith the dis
aster which has overtaken the residents of
the Pacific coast. Thousands are going to
Arizona, where there is said tobe gold for
the digger; and the agricultural poplla-
ton will be increased, although at preient
agriculture is the most depressed industry
we have. Word was sent to John McUul-
Tough, in New York, that there is no use
in his returning to the Pacific coast, and
that his theatre will have to be cloted.
This is the second year of drought since
the settlement of California.

The Massachusetts, legislature adjourned,
Wednesday, after session of one hundred
and thirty-five days, aud the passage of
three hundred and twen;y-one acts and res
olutions-an average of not quite two and
one-third day-and the Massachusetts
newspapers are Dragging over the vast
amount of work accomplished. That's
nothing. Our Legislature was in session fifty
seven days, passed two hundred and eighty
acts and resolutions-an average of nearly
five a day-and didn't half try at that and
judging from the comments of the press as
this work was being done, there is not very
much difference in the quality Of the work
accomplished.
