OUR BANNER.

The flag of the United States, although it is
the symbol of the newest of any of the great
Nations is in itself one of the most venerable
national symbols, and its history is not little
curious. 1t dates back to 1777, while the Union
Jack of Great Britain is twenty-fOur years
younger, having been adopted in 1901. Spain
took her present colOrs in 1885, France in 1894,
Portugal 1880, the German Empire 1870 and
Italy 1S48. Even the Chinese and Japanese flags
are more recent; those of Russia and Turkey,
however, antedate the American. There is no
record of any debate before the adoption of the
stars and stripes, and no one seems to know with
whom it originated. The flag seems to have
sprung up full-grown like the magic trees the
Oriental con urer produces before ones eyes from
the ground. The precedent flags gave but little
intimation of what was coming. They were
striped, it is true, but had no hint of stars and
stripes The rattlesnake was a favorite device
sometimes in the corner, where the stars now
shine forth. With it was frequently found the
motto, Don't tread on me-" The colonial flag
had groundwork of thirteen stripes to represent
the colonies, and the Union Jack in the corner,
afterwards to be replaced by the thirteen stars,
white on a blue field, representing, as the reso-
luton that moved its adoption stated, "a new
constellation

A WAR "REMINISCENCES,

The late Dr. Alston w. Whitney was a great
admirer of General Butler, and on being asked
why he supported the latter so strongly IN his
campaign for Governor the doctor gave the fol-
lowing reason: While he was prisoner in Libby,
held hostage for a confederate officer of equal
rank captured by our army, General Burnside,
who was operating in East Tennessee with the
Ninth Corps, captured two rebel captains, who
were hanged spies after satisfactory proof that
that was their mission inside of our lines. When
the news reached Richmond there was great ex-
element among the confederates and the result
was that an order was issued that two Union
captains should be hanged in retaliation. The
choice fell upon an Ohio and New York cap
tain, who were notified to be prepared for death
on the following day. Almost Immediately after
the announcement of what was to be DONE Gen.
Butler, who was then in command of the Army
of the James in front of Richmond was appraised
of the fact. He had just captured Gen. Fitznugh
Lee and another confederate general and sent back
word to the authorities of Richmond that If they
executed the two captains he would perform
like duty with the two generals. The confeder-
ates protested that the execution of officers OF
superior rank for those of an inferior rank never
was known in the history of war, and was con-
trary to all precedents; but the only satisfaction
that they got from Gen. Butler was that he didn't
care what had been done in the past, and that he
was willing to established new precedent, if
necessary The result was that the lives of the
two officers were spared, and from that time to
his death DR.. Whitney never ceased to praise
Gen. Butler.

A DESERTER.
BY MARY A. BARR.

" Deserterl" Well, Captain, the words about right.
And its uncommon queer should run from fight,
Or the chance of fight; I, raised in a land
Where boys you may say, are born rife in hand,
And who've fought all my life for the right of my
ranch, rf.t
With the willy Apache and the cruel Comanche.
But it's true and Til own it did run away
Drunk ?" No, sir! I'd not tasted drop all day;
But-smile if you will-rd dream in the night,
Aud woke in fever of sorrow and fright
And went for my horse twas up and away;
And rode like the wind till the break of the day.
"what was it I dreamt?" dreamed of my wife
The true little woman that's better than life
1dreamt of my boys-I have three-one is ten,
The youngest is four-all brave little men
OF my one baby girl my pretty white dove,
The star of my home, the of its love.
saw the log house on the clear San Antoine
And knew that around it the grass had been mown,
For felt in my dream, the sweet breath of the hay
was there, for lifted jassamine spray;
And the dog that loved heard my whispered command
And whimpered and put his big head in my hand
The place so still; all the boys were at rest;
And the mother lay dreaming the babe at her breast
saw the fair scene for moment; then stood
In circle of flame amid shrieking and blood
The Comanche had the place-Captaln, spare me the
You know what that means, for you come from the
West
I woke with shout and had but one aim
To save or revenge them-my head was afame,
And nv heart had stood STILL was mad, dare say,
For my horse fell dead at the dawn of the day;
Then knew what I'd done, and with heart-broken
breath,
When the boys found me out was praying for DEATH
"A pardon!" No Captain, did run away,
And the wrong to the flag it is right should pay
With nv life It's not hard to be brave
When children and wife have gone over the grave
BOYS take good aim! When turn to the west
Put ball through my heart; it's kindest and best.
~
He lifted his hat to the fag-bent his head
And the prayer of his childhood sOlemnly said
Shouted Comrades, adieu spread his arms to the
west
And rife ball instantly granted his rest
But DER that sad grave by the Mexican sea,
Wives and mothers have planted a blossoming tree,
And maidens bring and tenderly say:
at was love-sweetest love-led the soldier away"

CHIPCo, THE SEMINOLE CHIEF,

The news has ust reached us of the death of
Chipco, the chief of the remnant of band of Tai
lahassee Indians, on the 10th of October last.
This noted Seminole warrior, as near as can be
learned, was a little over one hundred years of
age, and had, up to few months back, been able
to engage in the hunts and annual festivities of
his tribe, but has at last had to succumb to old
age. He fully participated in the long Seminole
war, and at the time Billy Bowlegs and his COM
panions were depOrted to the Indian Territory
in 1836-ChipcO and his band managed to elude
their pursuers and have since lived here and there
in the Kissimmee country, though of late years
their main camp has been about twenty-five miles
east Of here, near the Catfish Lakes. Though not
actively engaged in the memorable Dade's massa-
ere in 1885, Chipco was present at many massacres
and battles of minor Importance. In talking over
his past career he always expressed regret for but
one deed, which was the killing of white infant
by tossing it up and catching it as it came down
on the point of his hunting-knife. The usual
fOrmalities peculiar to Indian tribes were gone
through with at his death Six fine horses and
many fat hogs were shot and killed at his grave
and his rifle and hunting accOutrements, together
with cooking utensils, were buried with him, so
that he might have the use of them in the happy
hunting grounds" The remnant of Chipco's band
now numbers but three warriors, with their wo-
men, children, and negroes, and the cheftain's
mantle has descended ON the shoulders of Chip
cos oldest son. who will be known in diplomatic
circles as Tustenuggee Tahusky-Barton (F1a.)
