A Graceful MARYLAND Girl.

At the. battle of Antietam Captain
Coleman Brown, of a Georgia regiment,
was killed, and his sword was turned
over by DIR. Knott, surgeon Of his regi-
ment, to young lady who had attract
ed his attention by her Kindness to the
Confederate wounded, and she provided
a hiding place for the weapon in the
attic of her residence. The name of
the young lady was Grove, but until re-
Gently all that Dr. Knott could ascertain
was that the Grove family had removed
to Baltimore. Recently the arrival at
Atlanta of Miss Julia Grove, of Mary
land, was chronicled in the personal
column of an Atlanta paper Struck
by the name and her place of residence,
DIR, Knott addressed note to her, and
in reply received an answer stating that
she was sister to that lady who had
ministered so tenderly to the wounded
and dying at Sharpsburg. He then
called On her and related the circum-
stances connected with the concealment
of Captain Browns sword The lady
promised to have the old house search
ed on her return home, and some time
afterward Dr. Knott received letter
from her announcing the success of the
search and the recovery Of the truSty
blade. A few days later DR.. Knott re-
ceived the sword by express, and it was
turned over to Captain Browns rela-
tiVes. When some one spoke of the
act of Miss Grove as graceful one,
DR.. Knott, who is gallant widower,
responded: ''All Maryland girls are
graceful; at least, l used to think so

A Salt Lake on Ton of ; Monn+o;n

There Is remarkable salt lake, stu
ated 100 miles west and south of Albu-
querque, in New Mexico. and about so
miles from the Arizona line. The lake
IS located on the top of a volcanic noun
tam, and evidently occupies an extinct
crater The lake is perhaps three-quar-
tiers OF mile in diameter, and is so
strongly impregnated with salt that a
thick crust of pure white salt of
spongy consistency like floating ice
enerusts the margin. 1t is so plentiful
that 1t IS carried away by the wagon
load, 1t has been long used by the In
dams. The salt is white, of the purest
quaflty and destitute of sand or any
foreign ingredient, The texture is por-
Gus, like CONCEALED white foam. There
was one specimen inclosing the stem of
some vegetable and can be handled like
an apple by its stem. But the most cur
lous feature of tits lake is tall eircu-
lar column, of monument-shaped forma-
ton, which rose up near the center of
the lake to the hight of 100 feet, and
which appeared to be composed of
white lava thrown up by some convul-
sion during some ancient geological
period. The. outside of the singular
column sloped from the base toward the
top, and was rough enough to enable it
to be assembled. On reaching the top
of the cone the interior was found to be
hollow like tube, and at the bottom
there was seen circular pond of water
with bright emerald green color in
appearance, probably to be attributed
to the sparse rays of light which pene-
trated this huge tube, and were reflect
ed from the smooth, mirror-like surface
of the water. A party with some diff
Guilty descended the projecting sides of
the interior Of this bowl, and they found
no incrustations of salt on the surface
like that on the outside, but on thrust
ing the hand into the water and with
drawing it, the hand came out perfect
ly white from the particles of salt that
adhered to it, 1t was evidently very
strong brine.-S. Louis Republican,

The Real History OF JUMBO,

Jumbo, the famous monster elephant,
has now been just one year in America,
and whether owing to climatic influ-
ences or better care and attention, has
thrived in his new home immensely 1t
is q fact, however, not generally known.
that animal trainers in this country are
better acquainted with the habits and
peculiarities of elephants than the peo-
pie of any other portion of the world,
not even excepting the East, where these
big animals have been kept in captivity
for many hundreds of years. Jumbo,
according to the testimony of Sir Sam
uel Baker, was captured when very
young by band of Hamean Arabs, who
brought him from the Settle river, in
Abyssinia, and disposed of him to a
Bavarian collector named Johann
Schmidt. Jumbo was then less than
four feet high, and travelled with an
other elephant of his own tender age,
which has since died. He was purchas-
ed by the Jardin des Plantes. in Paris,
in 1861, and after seven years of rapid
growth was transferred to the London
Zoo. From this garden Barnum,
Bailey and Hutchinson procured him.
When he arrived here he was lean, lank
and tall. He has since improved from.

the better part of the evening in regal
ing those present with what President
Buchanan had asked Mr.. Alley, and
how Mr. Alley had replied to Buchanan,
of how Abraham Lincoln had greeted
Alley on q certain occasion, and how
Salmon p Chase had advised with him
on another, Mr.. Evarts was asked if he
had anything to say. He replied that
he had single story to tell. Ii was
about Columbus. Said he: "You re-
member the anxiety of the mind of Col
umbus as the time arrived when he had
calculated he should arrive on the shores
of the new country. Morning after
morning he appeared early on the deck,
straining his eyes in looking toward the
west At last, one day as he gazed
through his glass, his face was seen to
shine with surprise He looked long
and earnestly, and finally handed the
glass to his most intimate friend at his
side, saying: There, Alley, there is

fortunes are made. - Cleveland Leader.

The Flag of the Press.

1t is not of silk or of bunting,
This flag that all tyrants abhor;
1t has no heraldic devices,
Of sanguine, guleS, vert, or,
Its colors are sable and argent;
Its elements paper and ink,
The spirits Of knowledge and freedom,
And whatever such spirits may think.
And its heraldry'S simple enough;
Just so many columns per page;
But i'll them is fought without ceasing
The battle that Freedom must wage,
The warfare of good against evil,
OF weakness in suit against might,
Of ignorance seeking for knO wledge,
Ofwrongin contention with right.
1t tlutters in senate and palace;
Is found in the Workingman'S hand.
More free than the emblem of freedom,
1t dares every wrong to withstand;
1t cares not for King nor for Kaiser;
No ukase can fold it away;
When it urges the conflict of Freedom,
Then kingdoms and kings pass away.
Fly over the world, paper Banner,
In thy sable and argent dreSSl
For the Banner of Freedom is freest,
When it flies with the Flag of the Press
Fly over the armies of knowledge!
Go forth with the armies of right
In cottage, in palace, in senate,
Fly. Banner Of freedom and Light
