"A Banner With q Strange Device
f- cleveland Penny Presa] ..

r cleveland Penny PresAl ...
Fl Upon the declaration of war in 1872
the town military companies reorganized
by the election of new officers and gen.
eral brushing up of accoutrements. Just
before the battle of Plattsburg town
company in that vicinity elected stall
wart but rather iliiterate fellow by the
name of Jonathan Pilsbury captain. He
felt that the eyes of the whole State of
New York were upon him. He en-
couraged his company to be brave in the
coming battle. He assured them that he
would "behead them as long as there was
q man Of them left, and that his own
name should 60 down to posterity."
10 The banner Of the company had en-
-blazoned upon Its folds, in addition to
the stars and stripes, the emblematic
eagle, holding in its talons the Legendary
scroll, "E Pluribus Unum." The cap
tain eyed the eagle with admiration, but
was puzzled as to the significance
of tie motto. Seeking light upon the
subject, he was informed by wag that
it was the name of the first captain Of
the company. A bright thought dawned
upon the uncultivated mind of Captain
Pilsbury. He quietly took the flag to 8
sign painter and had the name OF the
"first captain" obliterated and his OWE
substituted. and that company rushed
bravely into the fight bearing the banner
with that strange device, l"E, Jonathan
Pilsbury." 10 y..ii g. e4a,r ~

The flock of writers, too, servum pecus,

Who is to "do" Louise Labe, for ex.

While the rival editors of Bacon's and

field, the learned Tompkins, the discur.
sive Smith, the ponderous sagacity Of
Brown, and the rapid Jones are all
squabbling, all eager to write about

settled by the editor, who happens not to
know French, but readily undertakes to
criticise the life and writings Of the
passionate poetess of Lyons. Such are
the ways of the modern Series" which
surely no one will call with some honor
able exceptions) permanent additions to
literature.
1t may even be said that the scores Of
short popular paths to literary, or philo-
sophieal, or scientific knowledge are
themselves proof that literature is de-
clining. Both the production and the
enjoyment of literature demand leisure.
Now writers hurry through old books
with notebook in hand, and readers bus
tie rapidly through the pages of primers.
Books are written for him that runs, and
he that runs has seldom time or eye
sight for more than passing glance at
an advertisement by the way,ide. The
very tattle Of the hour is written by
persons so grossly ignorant of the Ian
guage that a gossiping report of mar
riage printed this week contains a mons
trous and absurd indecency.
