THERE is A GLORIOUS BANNER.

blowing verses are by Captain E. Butler, Fifth
fantry, at Fort Keogh, Montana, and are al
t contribution to our patriotic songs:
There is a glorious banner
I've seen il float in pride
Above the broad Missouri
And DER old Hudson's tide.
I've seen it gaily waving
In Venice by the sea;
In England's pleasant waters
On Clyde and on the Lee.
In England's pleasant waters, &c.
Where'er that flag is floating
From Plata to the More
From Norway's frozen limits,
To Fuego's distant shore
The eye of Toll is lifted
In Love and Hope to see,
The banner of our Fathers
The Standard of the Free,
The banner of, &c.
Oh! may that banner ever
In growing glory wave!-
A sign of Hope to Nations
OF Freedom to the Slave!
And when our eyes are closing
May our last vision be
That banner of our Fathers
Still floating Ger the Free!
That banner of &c.

ANECDOTES OF GENERAL BuFoRp.

Major-General John Buford, the Union cavalry
leader, than whom probably no commander was
more devotedly loved by those around him, was
offered major-general's commission in the rebel
army when in Utah He crushed the communi-
cation in his hand, and declared that he would
live and die under the Old Flag.
few hours before his death, and while suffer
ing from delirium, he soundly scolded his negro
servant; but recovering himself temporarily, he
called the negro to his bedside and said to him
Edward, hear 1 have been scolding you. I
did not know what 1 was saying. You have
been faithful servant, Edward
The poor negro sat down and wept as though
his heart was broken. When General Buford
received his commission as major general he ex-
claimed: "Now 1 wish that I could liveD His
last ineligible words, uttered in an attack of
delirium, were: "Put guards on all the roads,
and don't let the men run back to the rear"
This was an illustration of the ruling passion
strong in death, for no trait in the Generals
character was more conspicuous than his dislike
to see men skulking or hanging on the rear

ENROUGHTY-DARRY,

The death, near Malvern Hill, Va. of Nathan
Enroughty is likely to revive the question, often
discussed but never satisfactorily answered WHY
the name of numerous family should have been
for at least a century, universally spelled En-
roughly and universally pronounced Darby
The members of the family themselves follow
this strange perversion, always writing their
name one way and prOnouncing it the other but
can give no explanation of its origin.-1ranscript

Gen. Rial Niles, whose sickness in Philadel-

the war in the Ninth Indiana regiment and was
wounded at Laurel HILL Winchester Pittsburg

the war he was retired with the rank of breyet

in view OF his declination of the
chief justiceship, when offered to
him by President Grant, some doubt

Mr.. Britton said:
"In harmony with the suggestion
made by the court, We SO ask to
amend SO as to strike out and ex-
punge fsom the original petition filed
by Mrs. Sprague all accusations of
crimlnality contained therein"
Judge Headly, at the suggestion
of the court, took pen and careful
ly struck out all of the sensational
and scandalous matter in the bill.
Then the formal proof of the mar
riage, desertion and non>sup-
port was put in. Mr.. Britton sub
mitted the marriage certificate, which
was dated at Providence, Novem-
Der II, 1863. and signed by the
Right Rev. Thomas NJ. Clark ID. D.,
bishop of the diocese Of Rhode
Island. To conform to the req re-
ments of the law, two witnesses were
sworn and gave evidence that the
Governor had deserted, and failed to
provide fer the support Of his wife.
there was no cross-examination OF
these witnesses, no evidence was
submitted by the defense, and Mr.
Britton rested his case.
Judge Hoadly informed the court
that the Governor wished to retain
his sou, and Mrs. Sprague the three
daug ghters, anu said that the wife
would like to have the option of re-
snming her maiden name. Judge
Porter eald that III matters of tins
kind ne always hesitated, especially
when there were children. judge

his daughters to him one day, and
asked them, as testimony of their
affection for him, to learn to make
their own clothes and to cook good

promised, and not long after invited
their parents and few friends to
dine with them. They cooked the
perfect dinner themselves, and each
wore dainty gown made by her
own hands. So pleased was the
Senator that he gave each of them a
