The First Confederate Rattlc.FIag.

From Mrs. Burton Harrison's Cree
elections of Virginia Girl in the
First Year of the War;" published in
the Century, we quote the following:
"Another incident of note, in personal
experience during the autumn of 81,
was that to two Of my cousins and to
me was intrusted the making of the
first three ttle-llags of the Confeder-
acy, directly after Congress had decid-
ed upon design for them. They
were jaunty squares of scarlet crossed
with dark blue, the cross bearing stars
to indicate the number of the seeding
States. We set our best stitches upon
them, edged them with golden fringes,
and when they were finished dispatch
ed one to Johnston, another to Beau
regard, and the third to Earl Van
Dorm, 1.-The latter afterwards dash
ing cavalry leader, but then command.
ing infantry at Manassas. The ban
ners were received with all the enthu-
siasm we could have hoped for; were
toasted, feted, cheered abundantly.
After two years, when Van Dorm had
been killed in Tennessee, mine came
back to me, tattered and smoke-stained
from long and honorable service in
the field. But it was only little
while after it had been bestowed that
there arrived one day at our lodgings in
Culpepper huge bashful Mississippi
scout, One of the most daring in tho
army,--with the frame of Il Hercules
and the face of child. lie WAS bid
den to come there by his general, he
said, to ask if would not give him an
order to fetch some cherished object
from my dear hOme-something that
would prove to me how much they
thought of the maker of that flag =
After some hesitation | acluicsced,
although thinking it jest. A week
later was the astonished recipient of
a lamented bit of finery left within
the lines wrap of white and azure,
brought to us by Dillon himself, with
a beaming face. lie had gone through
the Union pickets mounted on load
of lirewood, and while peddling poul
TRY had presented himself at our town
blouse, whence he carried off his prize
in triumph, with letter in its folds
telling us how relatives left behind
longed to be sharing the joys and
sorrows of those at large in the Con
federacy."

General Grant In Wisconsin.

Soon after General Grant became q
clerk in his fathers store in Galena, in
1859, he was sent to Prairie du Chen to
look after stock Of goods which had
largely been sold on credit. They were
kept in the largo and Anticipated stone
building for 30 many years occupied by
'. FameChon. It seems that Grants
customer at the Prairie had given II
fraudulent bill of sale for the goods to d
third party for the purpose of dcfrauding
the Grants; and when the general ar.
rived In the town to investigate the mat,
ter, he took counsel Of the Hon O. B.
Thomas, who was elected to Congress
last fall, and after examining the records
In tho town clerks office, Thomas was
convinced that the sale was u fraudulent
one, and had writ of rcplcvin issued at
once to get possession Of the goods.
The sheriff was not in town that day,
and the writ was given to his deputy,
BOSS" Brunson, grandson of the ven
cradle Alfred Brunson D. d. "Boss'
was daring, burly young fellow by m.
ture, but his daring failed him in this case,
Mr.. Thomas Grant, and Brunson, armed
with the writ of rcplevin, walked down
to the building containing the goods, and
found the door locked, Tine pretended
owner had heard that one Of the Grants
was in town, and supposlng he would
attempt to seize the stock, he planted
himself inside, boIted the door, and
armed himself with a'shut gun When
the party reached the building they were
refused adm'tancc, OF course, with a
threat from the man inside that ii they
entered some one would be killed This
threat rather staggered "Boss,' who
vas inclined to believe that the mon
meant what he said. Mr.. Thomas tried
to convince the young deputy that it
was his duty to enter the store even at
the expense Of breaking down the door,
but "ljoss" could not sec it in that
light.
Grant had watched the proccc lings
thus far quietly, without saying word,
but becoming impatient, he said to
"BoSs, "Mr. Deputy, ii you are afraid
to go into the building yourself, why
don't you deputize some one else TO 80
in for youl" swell" answered "Boss, 1"
sharply, who felt kccnly touched to have
his courage doubted, Il will deputIzc
you" Grant was quite stout in those
days, and obcying the command Of the
officer, he stepped back from the store
door some ten or twelve feet, and com
Ing up to it with rush, he planted his
right foot near the lock, and the door
opened with u crash Grant entered in
an instant, seized the man who had the
gun, and ordered him to 20 to work to
help take down and box the goods, and
mi short time they were removed to
Gaena. This is ali there's about General
Grant doing business in Wisconsin, -

CLIPPINGS FOR THE CURIOUS,

"Tommy Atkins" is generally &C.
,epted now as the typical name for an
English soldier, just as John Bull Is
for an Englshman.
The stature Of native American SOL
Tiers exceeds that of all other nation
alities; next in order are the English,
then the Irish, German and French.

The difference between rising at five
and seven o'clock in the morning, for
The space of forty years, supposing a
man to 60 to bed at the same hour at
night, is nearly equivalent to the addi.
ton of ten years to a mans life.
The great canal which united the
Nile to the Red Sea was dug by the
orders of Sesotus, 1900 b. G. China is
thus fairly anticipated for once, as the
great canal of China was not made till
the ninth century A. d., about the
zine of Charlemagne.
Evarrice Manceau, of IAvenir,
Province of Quebec, has a son only six
years of age, and he weighs LOG
pounds, stands 4 feet in height, meas

around the arm II inches, and around
the calf of the leg IA inches, and is
smart and active.
Not only may the amputated parts
Of certain low organisms be re-grown;
the pieces removed may themselves
become complete animals. Gruber, in
Germany, has succeeded in dividing
and re-dividing infusoria until sixteen
perfect individuals were produced from
the original subject.
Americans are the third highest in
point Of number of the foreigners re-
siding in Japan, according to statistics
published in native paper. The Chi
nese stand at the head Of the list with
247l residents, followed by the Eng

far less numerous there than the Chi
nese or English, they occupy more
houses in proportion to their number
than either.

The Man with the CameIlin,

"L'Homme au Camellie" (The Man
with the Canellia) is the heading a
French paper gave lately to a sketch of
one of the many original figures to bs
seen on the Partisan boulevard.
Though invariably clad in the shah
best attire-for excellent reasons-th the
individual in question is never without
magnificent white camellia at his but.
ton-hole. A year or two ago he mad, it
seems, a rare run of luck at the green
table, and with eccentric prudence, he
determined to ensure, in the season of
his prosperity, that, whatever priva-
ton the turn of fortunes wheel might
bring with it, he should never want
for his lavorite flower. He asked his
feuristo Cnc day accordingly what sum
she would take to supply him with II
white camellia every day for the rest of
his life. The amount fixed upon--a
very considerable one, as may be sup
posed was paid on the spot, and now
the ruined gamester struts daily along
the asphalt, rejoicing in the possession
Of u camcllia worth rather more than
the coat it adorns.

An Armenian Marriage.

Among the various tribes of Asia
none are so rich or well dressed as
the Armenians. 10 them belong
chiefly the merchandise of precious
stones, which they export to Constan-
tinople. The Armenian girl whose
marriage is to be described had deli
cate flowers of celestial blue painted
all over her breast and neck; her eye
brows were dyed black, and the tips
OF her fingers and nails of bright Or
ange. She wore on each hand valuable
rings, set with precious stones, and
round her neck string of very fine
turquoses; her skirt was of the finest
spun silk, her jacket and trousers of
cashmere of Il bright color. Phe
priest and bis deacon arrived, the lat
ter bringing a bag containing the sac
erdotal garments, in which the priest
arrayed himself, placing mitre Or
namented with precious stones on his
head, and collar of metal. on which
the twelve apostles were represented

the mother of the bride took her by
the hand, and, leading her forward,
she bowed at the feet of her future
husband to show that she acknowl-
cd him as lord and master. The priest,
placing their hands in each other, pro-
nOunced prayer and then drew their
heads together until they touched
three times, while with his right hand
he made a motion rs if blessing them.
A second time their hands were joined
and the bridegroom was asked. "Will
you be her husbandY" 81 WILL" G
answered, raising at the same time the
veil of the bride. in token that she
was now his, and letting it fall again.
The priest then took two wreaJhs of
flowers, ornamented with a quantity
of hanging gold threads, from the
hands of the deacon, put them on the
beads of the married people, changed
them three times from one head TO the
other, repeating each time, II Unite
