stripes, pieces Of scarlet cloth were
joined to the white, tho blue ground
for the stars was composed Of n
cloth cloak belonging to Captain
Swartwout. Before sunset the Gu

the most beautiful wrought flag OF
silk and needle work, was floating
over ono of the bastions. There is
no record of what become of this
improvised flag. tho sioge being
raised on tho 22d Of August. An.
other account gives TO Washington
the honor Of being the first to dis-
play the flag, in his hurried move-
ment to repulso CORVALLIS at Tron
ton. AS this movement against
CORVALLIS, and tho SUCCESS which
followed it at Princeton, had such
n heavy influence on the struggle for
independence and its final success il
is n favorite view Of historians to &C
cept it rs providential, and as the
really first display of the great en-
blem. There is no question that
the flag was unfurled at the battle
OF Brandywine, September 13, 1777,
eight days after the official promul-
CATION at Philadelphia and at Ger
mantown on the 4. OF October fol-
lowing that they witnessed the
operations against that final surren-
der of Burgoyne after the battle OF
Saratoga, October II, 1717 that
the sights of of this new coustella-
ton helped to cheer the patriots OF
the army, amid the sufferings around
the camp fires at Valley Forge the
ensuing winter that they moved
triumphant at tho surrender of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown, September
ID, 17S1 looked down upon the evac,
uation Of New York, November 25
1888, and, as history tells us, shared
in all the glories of the latter days
OF the revolution.
On the 2Sth of June, l77S, the
Stars and Stripes for the first time
waved over foreign fort, Fort Mas.
sau, which was captured, with the
cannon, ammunition and five hun.
dred stand of arms, by an American
man of-war. In tho port lay six
teen gun ship, with crew of forty.
five mon, and fvo vessels. all prizes
to the British sloop Amgler. At
daybreah four men were sent on
board tho siyteen.gun ship to take
possession, and send tho officers
and crew to the fort. This was the
first capture under the flag, and tho
port of Nassau tho first foreign port
in which the Stars and Stripes were
hoisted in triumph. The prizes thus
seized were manned, the guns of tho
fort spiked, and the entire Ameri-
can garrison put to sea.
Such is a brief resume OF tho CT.
roor of tho Stars and Stripes from
the day of their adoption to the
timo when they first waved over a
foreign port. Since that period the
flag has triumphed in all the wars,
foreign and domestic, in which it
doated. There is not stain upon
it, and it has ever commanded the
respect of friends and foes. The
only dishonor it has ever suffore d
was that inflicted by the slavehold.
ers OF the South, who, encouraged
by the leaders of the Democratic
party, sought to trail it in the dust,
but that cowardly assault was re-
pulsed, and the flag to-day, is the
pride of our country and one Of the
chief glories of the world.

SupcrstIsiOn.

A panacea, or cure-all, is one of the
moths of the age of superstition. DIR.
X. Y. Pierce does not recommend
any one or even his whole list of STAN
dard remedies as adequate to cure
every disease. For severe lingering
coughs, bronchial, throat, and chronic
lung diseases, he believes his Golden
Medical Discovery is unsurpassed, but
1t will not cure you If your lungs are
half wasted by consumption. The
Discovery not only exercises potent
influence over pulmonary affections,
by reason of its pectoral properties,
but possesses also the most valuable al
terative, or blood-cleansing properties
and is therefore n sovereign remedy in
blood aud skin affections. But while
ii will cure scrofulous and other ulcers
or sores, blotches, pimples and erup-
tons, 1t will not cure cancer, nor does
its manufacturer claim any such merit
for it A. is done by proprietors of
other blood-cleansing medicines, who
dishonesty try To deceive the afflicted
into the belief that their preparations
will accomplish impossibilities. BY
reason of its real intrinsic merit ii has
sale surprising that of any other
blood and cough medicine.

lst. That the methods Of teaching,
so far as your committee could judge,
were good. with all the modern im-
proyements.
ID. The attention of pupils to their
studies and to the work assigned to
them was excellent.
Sd. The scholars, as pupils, were
examined in spelling, reading, arith-
metic, geography and history. Most
Of them gave evidence of thorough
drill, attention to, and advancement
in their studies. Some OF the pupils
acquitted themselves well, while 9TH
ers, who We're better scholars made
failures or nearly so, for the want of
self possession and confidence.
4th. The Government of the school,
the general department of the pupils
were admirable, when called TO recite
took their positions easily and promp-
tly without noise or confusion. Posi-
tions of pupils were good and had
been taught 10 hold their books and
place their hands in proper attitude.
9th. The manner or way of opening
her school by reading the scriptures,
and the position the pupils and
continue in, until the teacher prass, rs
the Lord only taught is highly com
mended and approved by your COM
nlittee.
9th. The mode of spelling in the
school is disapproved and condemned
by your committee. The teacher an
nounces the word, the pupils repeat or
name the letters in the words, but do
not pronounce the syllables, and often
times not the word after naming the
letters. They hurry over the letters,
do not pronounce the syllables, and
when the word is named, ii is not full
~ brought out Think the manner of
teaching is bad and has Il tendency 10
make the pupil pronounce the words
indistinctly, and is contrary TO the
teachings of the best institutions in
the land.
1th. The manner of dispatching
business nj the black board by order
ing the entire class to work ut once,
thereby accomplishing much labor in
a short time. is highly commended.

this department is a success and No.
