Humorous Elephants.
r. Leares From tse Life Of Correspondent.

A young friend asked me once to show him
some elephants in undress, and took him along
with me, having first borrowed an apron and
filled it with oranges. This he was to carry
while accompanying me in the stable, but the
moment we reached the door the herd set up
such atruEpeting-they had scented the fruit
that he dropped the apron and its contents and
seuttled OFF like scared rabbit. There we're
eight elephants, and when l picked up the
oranges l found l had %. / walked deliber-
ately along the line giving one to each when
1 got TO the extremity of the narrow stable
turned and was about to begin the distribution
again, when i suddenly reflected that if ele-
phant No. in the row saw me give two
oranges in succession to No g. me might imag-
inc he was being cheated and give me a smack
with his probJscis-that is where the elephant
falls short of the human being so / went to
the door and began de moro as before
Thrice / went along the line. and then was
in a fix. / hal one orange left. and 1 had to
get back to the door. Every elephant ia the
herd had his greedy gaze focused on that
orange. Ii WAS IA riueh as my life was worth
to give 1t To anyone OF them. What was to
doy l held 10 up cOnapicu0usly, coo!ly peeled
il, aud sacked it myself. IL was most anus
ing to Eotice the way these elephants uudged
each other and shook their ponderous sides.
They thoroughly entered into the humor of
the thing.

THE ENCANPMENT,
More Discussions of the Date at
Which 1t Should Be Held.
FROM MINNESOTA.

To THE EDITOR: In regard to the National
Encampment at San francisco next year the
most favorable time for all who intend
going from this section of The country, would
be the last of June OF 1st Of July or 18th of
September May is busy time with farmers
here, and from the 26th of July to Sept Ist is
our harvest here. This country is mostly set
tied with old soldiers as farners.-JoHN III.
SCOTT, Stoderd Post, No. 81, Washington, Mimi.
WANTS IT IN SEPTEMBER.
To THE EDITOR: / see there is much differ
ence of opinion rs to the time when the En-
campment should be held in San Francisco.
We should hit on time that would accom-
modate the largest number; and rs tho largest
percentage of the GAR. are farmers, would
cast my vote for the Goth of September. May,
June and July would not answer for the farm
ing class. So, Mr.. Editor, l hope you will
use your best influence for Sept. 90 for want
to so, and no other time would slit.-F. A.

To THE EDITOR: I see and hear much said
IN regard to the time our Encampment should
be held. Please let me say, once for all, Septem-
Der would be my choice, and of all with whom

weather is then over, time with farmers is not
so valuable as earlier, and there will be chances
about. / am q subscriber to THE NATIONAL

TIE CHINESE LEGATION,
The large house on Dupont Circle known rs
"Stewart Castle " has been leased for tho Chi
nesa Legation at rental of 900 per year.
Although its somewhat somber and forbidding
exterior has given it the name Castle" the
house is very commodious and attractive with
in. 1t was built years ago by Stewart, one of
the western nlillioDaires. when he was Scna-
tor from Nevada. The large rental is the same
that Mr., Letter, of Chicago, pays for Mr..
Blaine's house, which stands near it. Speak
ing Of Blaine, he seems to Re lucky IN real es-
tate investments. Before he built his big house
he bought quite q large tract of land in the
vicinity at abo1t 40 cents per square foot.
Within four years it jumped to from $3.50
to s. per foot. 1t is not unlikely that the house
he built had something to do with the advance.
Mr.. Blaine is building another residence at Bar
Harbor, Me-, his favorite summering place, and
an advance in the value of real estate there
will doubtless follow.
"A GOOD SELECTION.
The new Democratic organ in New York
city, The Daily Star has made a very happy
selection for its Washington correspondent in
the person Of Col. o. o. Stealey, who has made
a national reputation by his correspondence
with the Louisville Coarier-JoHg0Gl. Col. Stealey
is man of character as well as ability, and
this gives him an excellent standing in all
circles in this city. He will still continue his
connection with the Louisville COuTier-Jou3TaI.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue re-
ports that the amount of distilled spirits gone

THE FIRST UNION FLAG
Captured by the Confederates Returned to Its
Owner,

Owner.
A short time ago Col j. M. Sandige, of New
Orleans mailed to Il. NJ. Shurtleff. an artist, of
No. LOG West Fifty-sixth street, New York,
what has always been recognized as the first
Union flag captured in the late war. Its history
briefly told, is as follows: Col. Sandige was, in
July, 1861, a member of company of Virginia
cavalry, under Maj. (afterward GeneraD Woods
On July IS he was detailed to advance with a
small squad on the Yorktown road to recon-
noiter for Federals, who were occupying New
port and Hampton. They had gone some dis
tance along the road. when the tramp of feet
coming from the direction of Newmarket
Bridge was heard. The night was rainy and
dark. Not knowing the strength of the ene-
my, who were on foot and had mule with
them, the Confederates stationed themselves by
the roadside to let them pass. There were six
in the party. They passed within 10 or Is feet.
When the Union soldiers returned about day.
light they were ambuscaded by the Con-
federate party, and nearly all of them were
killed or wounded Among the latter was
Lieut. Shurtleff. who at that time was car
rying a small Union flag. This was used to
stanch his wounds, and he was placed on the
mule and taken prisoner to Richmond. The
Union flag captured on this occasion was the
first taken in the war, and was carefully pre-
served. After having been displayed in Rich
mond, it was restored TO Sandige. who has long
tried to find out the whereabouts of Shurtleff,
If living. He was at last successful, and re-
stored the flag to him. Col. Sandige sent with
the flag letter, in which, after reviewing the
circumstances of its capture, he said:
Gen. BIagruder permitted to retain the flag
captured that morning. and it was sent up to Rich
mond and displayed for time in the Office of Mr.
Secretary Benjamin the first taken in the
war. trust the pleasure Mrs. Shurtief anticipates
