of distinguished foreigners as well as
Americans, our national flag should
receive the attention it did at the driv-
ing of the last spike in the last rail ON
the Atlantic slope of the Union Pa
citic railroad. AT the suggestion. of
Capt. Clayton who superintendent the
laying of the track from the beginning,
monument concentrating the
event was erected and the national
flag planted upon the continental
divide The spot where this flag was
planted is the true continental summit
and should large enough drop of
rain fall upon it, and NOT be carried
back TO its native cloud by the process
Of evaporation, one-half of it would
flow TO the Atlantic and the other
half to the Pacific oceans. The GER
emonies attending the planting of the
flag ON that day Sunday, Aug. 3,
1868, are of historic interest. The
hole was dug by Cap. Clayton, and
tina flag staff planted in it by the
hands Of his wife While Mrs. Clay
ton held the flag Rev, Mr.. Gierlow
pronounced the following 'consecra-
ton service: In the name of wisdom,
strength and beauty III the name of
faith hope and charity in the name
of the holy trinity. we conSecrate this
flag to the glory of God, the ber"s, Of
civilization and the happineS u man,
kind. Aud when this len, s,dr shall
have been surrounded by the sister
consultations, may its ample folds
protect us in the path of virtue, so
that at last we may become worthy
citizens of the land of the beautiful,
the land of the free. Appropriate
addresses were then delivered by
distinguished gentlemen present and
/ the exercises closed with the beue-
/ diction.

A Baby on the Battlefield.

The Martnsburg correspondent of

following story: Almost every fami-
~ and individual here has some bit Of
romance in connection with the late
war To day at a musical, "a which
| was kindly invited, | met n lady
whose talents as musician and whose
remarkable beauty had attracted my
attention She possessed that rare
type of prettness that is wholly South

perfect in every feature. hair rich in
It's abundance and wonderful in its
tint. This is her story Twenty years
ago. when the tide of battle in long,
blood waves swept over the terrible
field of Manassas. Il baby girl was left
an orphan on the battle ground. Dur
ing the changes Of the fateful day the
home of the blue-eyed girl was at one
time directly between the fire Of both
armies. As the first shot whistled
above the house the parents started To
flee for place Of refuge A dozen yards
from the 5O0r both We're shot down.
and the baby, an orphan, without sis
ter or brother, was alone in the world
The battle ragged ON, dead and dying
were everywhere. bvt the little baby
was unframed The day wore away,
and Just as the suns last rays, half
hidden in the curling smoke, sadly
kissed the earth good night, General
Jubat EARLY, riding by, heard the
baby's cries q, He dismountett, and
taking the little waif up cared for it
until he could place it under the care
Of his sisters. They watched ii
through its infantle years, giving it
education and a world Of love. and
now that baby grown to womanhood,
lovely and accomplished, the pet Of al
wide circle Of friends who call her
"Waif, is the sole support of those
two women, sisters of the rebel Gen

Cameron Signing for the Boys.

j. r. Young's Washington Letter to the Star
Speaking of Cameron reminds me
that a friend of his living here re
ceived a letter from him recently, in
which Don says that he is not having
such royalty good time as some PEG
pie said he would. The English
country, he says, is very pretty, but
not near 50 interesting as the country
about Harrisburg. The old church
architecture business is a good deal of
bore, he says. London he likes, and
he could content himself there for an
indefinite period if he only had some
of the boys with him to talk some
good United States language to him
and thus relieve him from the monot-
ony of the English pronunciation,
which becomes very tiresome to an
American He ran across Tom Ochil-
tree at the Ascoraces, and he writes
"A mother with a new baby could
not be more pleased than was at see
ing Toms red head and hearing him
talk in his good old TeXas-American
style. Don gives no information as
to when he thinks of retiring. He
says that he had letter from Phila-
delphia intimating that party of
Pennsylvania statesmen We're soon
to Join him-among the number Jud-
ge Bum, Chris Magee, Sam Burr,

In recent address at Bellevue.
Mich, eX-Gov. Austin Blair gave an
account of the convention of Cover
nors of Northern States that met at

ing of the emancipation proclamation
by President Lincoln in 1862 The
convention was called To bring an in
tluence to bear upon President Lin
coin 10 induce him To issue a proCla-
nation or do some act that should set
at liberty the 4, on0, 600 slaves, bat the
President outwitted the twenty two
governors by issuing the prOc.ama-
ton the same day their convention
met. The governors decided then to
90 ON To Washington and present to
the President. not the urgent reSolu-
tons they had intended, but an adj
dress complimenting him upon the
step he had taken This address was
prepared in an able manner by Gov.
Andrew, of Massachusetts. who read
1t To President Lincoln as he sat at
his desk, while the governors were
seated around the room After that
an incident happened that Gov Blair
said he had never before related to
any one. Gov. Krkwood, of Iowa,
since a United States senator and
secretary of the Interior rose and
said:
Mr.. President, | should be delight
ed could | return To my home and say
to the people of Iowa that the Prcsi-
dent of the United States believes Gen.
George b. Mcclellan is loyal nu.
He brauched off upon other subjects
connected with the war. and then
closed by repeating with more en-.
phasis Il should be glad Mr.. Presi
dent, to be able To tell the people OF
Iowa that YOU believe in the LOYALTY
and patriotism of George Il. McClel
Ian.
Taking his feet down from the desk
upon which they had been resting
Mr. Lincoln sprang To his feet anC
Strengthened upapparently two inche
taller than usual, and said, with mucl
force and apparent eXcitabillty; 10y
al, George b. Mcclellan is as loya
as any one of you Then stopping
moment the President face assumed
its naturally pleasant look, and h
continued in natural and pleasing
tone: I'll tell you, gentlemen, Gen
Mcclellan is an exceedingly well in
formed general, and is very careful
, in fact too careful. and the grea
, trouble with him is that when he win
, victory he doesn't know what to d
with it. =
why not try somebody else
mildly suggested GOV. Blair
: we might DC that and might los
an army by it, was the quick respons
of the president, which Coy. Blai
admitted completely endorsed him.
