ceived with all the enthusiasm 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 vas
only a little while after it had been
bestowed that there arrived one day
at our lodgings in Culpepper a
huge, bashful Mississippi scout
one of the most daring in the army,
with the frame of a Hercules and
the face of a child. He was hidden
to come there by his general, he
said, to ask if I would not give
him an order to fetch some cher
ished object from my dear old home
something that would prove to
me Chow much they thought of the
maker of that flag" After some
hesitation I acquiesced, although
thinking it a jest. A week later I
was the astonished recipient of a
lamented bit of finery left "within

azure, brought to us by Dillon
himself, with beaming face. He
had gone through the Union pick

TELL the people not to take
medicine and not to be afraid of
cold air and cold water" These
were among the last words spoken
by Thomas Penrose, aged ninety
four years, who died near Blandon,
Penn, Saturday last, after a few
days illness. The old man had
throughout his entire life carried
out vow never to take medicine,
and he maintained his resolve, re-
fusing everything of that character
up to the moment of his dissolu-
ton. One of the rules of his life
was to keep the windows of his
chamber wide open all the year
round. Frequently his bed was
covered with snow in the morning.
He performed his toilet at the
pump, to which he walked bare
footed every morning summer and
winter. With the mercury below
zero he would stand at a pump
bathing his head, arms and feet,
never taking cold. He never wore
an overcoat, but dressed very near
ly in the same way all the year
round, and he never drank any
thing but cold water. He left a

Another incident of note in per-

my cousins and to me was intrusted
the making Of the frat three battle
flags Of the Confederacy, directly
after Congress had decided upon a
design for them. They were jaun-

dark blue, the cross bearing stars to
indicate the number of the seeding

vid, from David to Paul, from Paul
to Luther, to be deceived by pre-
tended friends. Caesar had his
Brutus. Washington had his Ar
mold. Christ had his Judas,n Mr..
Newman does not draw the infer
ence, but he goes on Immediately
to say that Gen. Grant "knew his
power and realized his strength"
as he must if he were wiser than
all these. If he had only had the
power to stop the sacrilegious
mouth of Parson Newman he would
have done we'll.
Of the ridiculous rhetoric with
which Mr.. Newman lays bare the
sacred privacies Of the family and
spreads the little domestic senti-
mentalities before the world it is
impossible to speak with adequate
contempt; but that is not the seri-
GUS part Of his offense. That he
should violate good taste and ordi.
nary dignity was to be expected,
and we can simply lament that this
kind of thing has to be and that it
fills so large place in the minds
of so many people. 1t is the vio-
lence that such a man does to truth
and to the serious judgment Of the
world that makes his public per-
Torrance on such an occasion not
only disgusting, but positively
harfiful. When he raises Grant to
a superhuman elevation and claims
for him qualities which everyone
knows that he did not possess and
the absence Of which alone ex-
plains some essential parts of his
character and career, we have to
conclude either that the preacher is
grossly ignorant or that he wilfully
disregards the truth, and in either
aspect the influence of such preach
ing must be bad. When he talks
of Grant as "the sun of our plenty,
the ocean of our wealth and the po-
lar star shining calmly and steadi.
ly in the heavens of onr Republic"
language which is seldom ap-
piled, in preaching, to any one up
on earth-he does not simply Of
fend against good taste, but shows
himself so utterly incapable of a
right judgment that his fulsome
praise is felt to be a dishonor to the
dead and an insult to an intelli-
gent people that honor their heroes
not the less because they honor
truth and sincerity the more.-Phil-

he never stopped over. So much
cannot be said for his eulogists and
least of all for Parson Newman
This preposterous person stopped
over on Mount McGregor Tuesday
for the space of an hour and a quar-
ter, and his speech, as furnished in
advance to the newspapers, makes
seven columns Of type. They are
seven columns of unmitigated rub
bisb. What personal charm Mr..
Newman may possess that has en-
deared him to the Grant family and
made him their especial confidant
and spiritual counsellor it is not ne
cessary to inquire. They have an
unquestionable right to choose their
own familiar friends and we may
all feel glad if the ministrations of
Mr.. Newman have afforded them
comfort None the less must We
be permitted to express regret that
so great an opportunity as was af-
fordud III the funeral grafton of
General Grant, to address the lis
:tening world in words of truth and
soberness, should have fallen to
this pretentious blakerskite. 1t
must be said that there is nothing
mean about Newman. When he
undertakes to deliver a eulogy he
does it all the way Even his ten
thousand-dollar Grafton over young
Stanford in California was not more
unrestricted in its praise or more
liberal in its fowery decoration
than the speech at Monnt McGre-
gor. A man of sense and taste
would have spoken calmly of Gen.
Grants life and character, dwelling
on those aspects of both that are
most worthy of regard and enforc-
ing those public and personal les
sons which his career so strongly
points. But Newman was there to
praise the dead, and he did it with
an effusion that is simply nauseat-
ing. Some heroes, he said, have
been men of singular virtue. Cy-
rus was distinguished for modera-
ton and courage; Aristides for JUS
tice !; Eeonidas for unselfish patriot
ism I; Regulus for honor; Marcus
Aurelius for piety and generosity;
Peter the Great for pride of country
and Frederick Of Prussia for mill
tary proves "but this foremost
American possessed all these and
other virtues in happy combination,
not like single gems, brilliant by
isolation, but like jewels in a crown
uf glory, united by the golden band
Of a complete character" 1t would
be hard to lay it on much thicker
this this. Yet Newman does not
stop here. Having attributed to
Grant all the virtues of all the mil
itary men that ever lived, he has
still to show that he was the great
est of all men in civil life-yes,
greater than the greatest. The es-
pecial mark of his greatness was
that che discerned character with
the precision Of a seer" and "the
