Paul Jones' Flag,

To the Editor Of the London Daily Telegraph:
SIR-Having read your article to-day on the
flag which once belonged to Paul Jones, ven
ture to ask your permission TO tell my story nj
rather greater length than have hitherto done.
should begin by saying that my information
is derived from Mr.. Samuel Bayard Stafford, the
present owner of the flag in question, and from
some extracts from American newspaper The
facts are as follows: When the War of lndepend-
enee broke out, Mr. Samuel Stafforl's father, at
the time engaged in business IN New fork, joined
A small cruiser that was fitted out by Captain
Philip Stafford. This cruiser, after innicting
some damage on the British Indian trade, was
captured by an English vessel, and the crew put
in irons. They WERE however, set free, and their
shin retaken by Paul Jones, about ten days be
fore his action with the Scraps In gratitude
for their deliverauce, the crew volunteered and
served under him in the engagement between the
Serapis and Bon Homme Richard, in the course
of which the flag was shot away from the mast
head of the latter vessel. Mr.. Stafford leaped
into the sea after it, recovered it, and replaced
il. being severely wounded while performing this
action The flag which he had thus saved was
afterwards presented to him by the Marine Com
mittee of Congress, and remained in his posses
sion till his death, in 1888. 1t now belongs to
his son.
This account will show that while you are cor
rect in saving the Bon Homme Richard was never
boarded, and that Mr.. Stafford was not one of
the crew of that ship, it is nevertheless the fact
that rs q volunteer, that gentleman did save the
flag in question, which maintain to be genu-
inc relic of historic interest. remain, sir, your
obedient servant,
WALTER STAFFORD NoRTHcoTE.

Cool Impudence.

Bunny was n hard case, beyond any sort Of
mistake. He lived in Columbus, Ohio, and was
n prominent member of the Democratic party.
Some years since, he and his squad attended a
political gathering in a town some miles distant.
Going into groggery, he called for whiskey for
himself and Followers" After imbibing which,
he raped on the counter with his knuckles, and
looking the retailer ''dead in the eyes" said in
firm tone:
'THEM's MINEw
'Yournr exclaimed the indignant dealer, "and
who the dencc yOu are yOH' How do know if
Tn safe 10 credit yOui'
"Pshaww returned our hero, 'tmy names Bum
my, and olce a id big bill in erey grocery in
COiHmbHs!n
Then giving the dealer look that said You
wouldn't have spoken short if you'd known
that, he cooked his hat side, and retired"
This is as cool as a case that occurred a few
years since in Western New York. A fancy man
bOnght a horse of a cOuntryman, giving therefor
forty dollars in cash and his note for n like
amount. After the note was drawn, signed and
placed in the hand of the seller, the latter re-
marked, 81 s'pOse this note is good" The buyer
coolly replied, "Ask these fellows here-theyve
all got 'em. ~

Sick Headache.

This complaint is the result Of eating too much
and exercising too little. Nine times in ten the
cause is in the fact that the stomach was not able
to digest the food last introduced into it, either
from its having been unsuitable, or excessive in
quantity. diet of bread and butter, with ripe
fruit or berries, with moderate and continuous
exercise in the open air, sfiicient to keep up n
gentle perspiration, would cure almost every
case in n short time. Two Irresponsible of pow
dered charcoal in half glass Of water and drank,
gives instant relief. We inclined to think
that the above remedies may do in some, but not
in all cases. A sovereign remedy for this dis
tressing disease is not easily found. A new cor
respondent from Connecticut contributes the
following on this subject: Sick headache is pc
riodical comes on at regular intervals, and Is
the signal of distress which the stomach puts
out to inform us that there is an over-alkaline
condition of its fluids; that il needs natural
acid to restore the battery to its normal condi-
ton When the first symptoms Of headache
appear, take Tablespoonful of lemon juice clear,
fifteen minutes before each meal, and the same
dose at bedtime. Follow this up until all symp-
toms are passed, taking no other remedies, and
YOU will soon be able to go free from this unwel-
come nuisance. Many will object to this because
the remedy it too simple; but have made many
cures in this way.

A wayward son Of the Emerald Isle cleft the

had occupied for a long while, and spent ms
time around rum shops, where he was always on
hand to count himself "in,r whenever anybody
should "stand treat" Margaret was dissatisfied
with this state of things, and endeavored to get

NUTRIENT BEVERAGES,
When and How to Wash.

Saws The London Lancet: The part which the
skin PLAYS in the regulation of bodily heat is not
adequately estimated. The envelope of compli-
cated structure and vital function which covers
the body and which nature has destined to per-
form n large share of the labor of health preser-
wing is practically thrown out of use by our
habit of loading it with clothes. 1t is needless
to complieate matters by allowing it to be choked
and encumbered with dirt. II the skin of an
animal be coated with an impervious Narnish,
death must ensue. A covering Of dirt is only less
inimical to life. We are not speaking OF dirt
such as of.nds the sense of deceney, but of those
denominations of eXuded matter with which the
skin must become loaded if habitually covered
and not thoroughly cleansed. The cold bath is
not a cleansing agent. man may bathe daily
and use his battle towel even roughly, but re-
main as dirty to all practical intents as though
he eschewed cleanliness; indeed, the physical
evil of dirt is more likely To ensue, because, If
wholly neglected the skin would cast off its ex-
crementitious matter by periodic perspriations
with discrimination Of the euticle. Nothing but
a frequent washing in water, of at least equal
temperature with the skin, and soap, can ensure
a free and healthy surface. The feet require
especial care and il is too much the practice to
neglect them The omission of daily washing
with SOAP and the wearing of foot coverings SO
tight as to compress the blood vessels and retar,l
the circulation of the blood through the extrem-
tiles are the most common causes of cold feet.
The remedy is obvious; dress loosely and wash
freauently

Heating the Poker.

After the news of the destruction of the stamp
ed papers had arrived in England, the ministry
sent for DIR. Franklin TO consult with, and offer
cd this proposal:
''That if the Americans would engage to pay
for the damage done in the destruction Of the
stamped paper, ETC., the Parliament would then
repeal the act"
The doctor, having paused upon this question
for some time, at last answered as follows:
''This puts me in mind of a Frcnchman, who,
having heated poker red hot, ran furiOusly in.
to the street, and addressing the first English.

DIET FOR WEAK SToNACHs.-Where the stom-
ach is weak, its muscular action impaired, and
its nerves oyersensitive, but little food should be
taken in to it at a time. The best diet is skim
med milk, half pint every four hours. When
milk is not well digested lime water is combined
with it. Such foods coffee, tea, and tobacco
must, of course, he given up absolutely and at
once. A sovereign article of diet is buttermilk.
In buttemilk the casein of milk is coagulated
and broken up, 80 the stomach is spared two
steps Of the regular process of digestion. An
1t contains a good deal of earbonic acid. In all
cases the stomach's work should be made easier
by a diet consisting of eggs, milk, starchy vege-
tables, stewed fruits, and little butter. with
stale bread.-Modiodi Record.
