A sEwANEE INCIDENT.
a Notable Flag at the University of the
south.
From The NasaDiUe Union.

From The NdSADiIe Union.
SEwANEE, TENN, Aug. u.-Durlng
the session OF the board of trustees of the
university, just adjourned. Mr.. Duncan,
son Of the late Hon. G. B. Duncan, of
Louisiana, presented 10 the board a
United States nag, which looked as if it
had history. And SO it had. 1t was
the same flag referred to above as having
been borne at the head of the procession
on Lookout by revolutionary soldier. and
witch waved above the stand while the
Declaration OF Independence was being
read. and while Bishop Otey delivered his
grafton. OF this nag, Mr.. Duncan on
that occasion gave this account: 1t was
made, ne said, by patriotic ladies Of
Philadelphia. Tho staff was cut by Mil
lard Fillmore, when President Of the
United States, from near the grave of
Washington, and was presented, at his
request, 10 the owner Mr.. ID. } by Lieut.
Gen. Winfield Scott This flag, he CON
tinued, had been borne at the mast of
one OF our national vessels: 1t had waved
upon the breezes OF Europe and Of Asia,
OF the Mediterranean and the Nile: its
folds had been displayed upon the lovely
Sinai and amid the sacred localities of
Jerusalem.
There is another suggestive and touch
ing incident related in connection with
rIis flag. u was suspended, as before
stated. above the stand from which Bish-
Op Otey delivered his Fourth OF July ora
tion. In the earlier part of his speech
the bishop had taken occasion 10 notice
the intimatiOn that had been mNde to the
effect that the movement to establish "A
Southern university Wore the appear
ance OF sectionalism, and, in Wig
orous terms, he had repelled
tie insinuatiOn OF the apprehension
that it might, however. without design,
tend 10 weaken the bonds OF the Union.
Up TO this point, IL Is said, the nag had
hung calmly and lazily from its stan; hut
when the bishop, warming with his
theme, began 10 speak feelngly OF our
country and the love all good men bear r..
lively breeze came TO STIR the stars aud
stripes; and still, as he proceeded 10 de-
nounce the thought that they could
come with holy words upon their lips
% plot mischief against thcir brethren,
the flag, says gentleman who witnessed
the scene, waved more proudly than he
fore, seeking the person OF the speaker
and so envelOping him In its folds that a
brother bishop had to relieve him from it's
embrace before he could proceed. As tho
Grafton further progressed warm tears
filled many an eye and would not be re-
pressed. At its close the band struck up
"Hnil COlumbia" aud the whole company
rose TO their feet.

HARLEM COMMONS CLAIMANTS
The Famous Syndicate SIN InfestsHg
the Rural Districts.

the AuFhl
From the Es,0 York Herald.
NEW CASTLE, PA, Aug. l0.-A bout 40
persons, claiming 10 be heirs OF the
owners ofthat part OF New York originally
known as Harlem Commons, assembled
in this city recently TO consider the ad-
visibility Of pushing thei. claim TO the
property. The meeting was presided
over by John n. Emery, who is a
great grandson of Luke Covert, who was a
great-grandsOn Of Resolved Waldron,
who, with Thomas De Lavelle, John
Vervelen. Daniel Turneur and JoOst OBJ
line received the original grant from the
Dutch and had il affirmed by the English.
The meeting decided 10 employ an attOr-
ney and send him TO New York and else
where 20 gain further information upon
the matter before they joined with the
Harlem Commons syndicate" which is
organized 10 push the claim Of the heirs.
In an interview this afternoon Mr..
Emery gave the particulars OF the claim
from the standpoint Of the heirs. Accord
ing to that gentleman the claimants here
expect little or no success in the matter,
but believe there is no doubt that much Of
the property belongs to them and that
their title could be established. In the
present condition Of the property. being
all below high water mark, its value is
contingent upon the Improvement of the
Harlem, and the probability that New
York Will shortly be compelled 10 secure
additional wharfage facilities.
DO NOT CLAIM RIVERSIDE PARK.
Mr. Emery stated that, in his opinion,
the site of Gen. Grants tomb does not be-
long to the heirs. and that they cannot
establish any claim TO it, az the spot was,
he thinks, one Of the "highlands." while
the property claimed by the syndicate
was all under water before beng filled in.
In order to test the ownership OF the
property claimed suit will be brought
by the syndicate against the Elevated
railroad, which has one or more stations
built on the ground in question.
The heirs TO this estate run into the
thousands, and Mr. Emery has letters of
inquiry in his possession from persons as
far West as Washington Territory, South
as far as Florida, and East as far AS
Maine, and should the syndicate gain its
suit thousands of suits will follow.

PRODUCTION to Maj. Mclaughlin cultured
young lady, who proved to be Miss Grace
Howard, daughter of a prominent New
Yorker. She had a letter from her father
TO Maj. Mclaughlin, and she came with a
batch Of young Indians who had been at
school at Hampton.
1t is reported that she is a monomaniae
on the subject of 40, the poor Indian; ;"
that some years ago, after reading Fenni-
more Cooper, Miss Howard importuned
her father and finally gained his consent
10 become teacher, and as such she
acted at Hampton for some time at her
own expense.
Miss Howard was allowed 20 20 out to
Standing Rock, with the expectation that
when she saw the Indian in his natural
state disgust would come that would
dispel the romance; but Cooper was too
much. and Miss Howard had not been at
Standing Rock week before she became
enamored Of one of the Sioux bucks, and
she is now said 10 be really in love. she

APPEARANCE OF THE UPPER POhTION OF ThA
MONUMENT ON THE DAY OF ITS COMPILE
TON.
On December 9th the last or capstone,
weighing $500 pounds, was placed on the
Washington monument, thus completing en-
teriorally this structure, commenced in
1e4s. There were present at the ceremony,
besides Col. Thomas L. Casey, the govern
ment engineer in charge, and his assistants,
one of the master mechanics who assisted at
the laying of the corner stone over SO years
ago and the old Waterman who has guarded
the structure continuously from that time
since.
The site for this obelisk was marked o.
the original plan of the national capitol, az
designed by Major LEnfant, which plan
was approved by Washington himself. Tbs
corner stone was laid on July 4, 1S4S. In
the six years following the shaft reached the
height of rs feet when the funds gave out,
and the work was suspended until about six
years ago. when work was resumed. The
structure has cost 81, 80, 900, 5000, 700 of
which was appropriated by congress. A
notable fact in the construction of this stu
pendous work is the fact that not a single
life has been lost through accident.
