Nearly all of these designs are accom-
panied by letters. Some arc addressed
to Prcsidens jefferson Davis, some to
Alexander II. Stephens, and some to
Robert Toombs. and great many to
William Porcher Miles, who was the
chairman of the committee ON flags. All
of the letters are full of feeling and all
glow with loyalty to the new govern
ment. Some are written by ladies', and
not q few of the designs nre furnished
by them. The ladies' letters arc the most
earnest and enthusiastic. One Georgia
woman says she designed the flag which
she sends herself and that she hopes the
Confederacy twill secedc peaceabIy, but
whether peaceably or not, it will So
cede." a South Carolina mother pathet-
ically says, dating her letter Feb. 10,
1861, that she has given three dear boys to
her country, and hopes the young repub-
lie will honor the memory of Washing
ton by dating its organization from the
22d of February and calling it the Wash
ington republic. She writes justas she
hears the nows that Mr.. Davis has been
elected president, and she closes her let
ter by saying that the southern Confed-
eracy has tho sympathy of every SOUTH
ern woman-wife, mother and maid
and that she glories in being woman of
the south.
Other letters propose that the new
government be called Alleghania, and
the great majority of designs are modelled
after the flag of the Union. There was
very strong desire among tho south
ern people to keep as much as possible of
the old flag, and this desire is seen in
most Of the letters, One letter, which
is dated Washington, Feb, 20, 1861, be.
seeches the committee by all that is
sacred to stick to the stars and stripes
1t says: "You have fought well under
our glorious banner. Could you fight us
well under another? Never. Alter it,
improve it MS you will. but for, heavens
sake keep the stars and stripes" An
other letter bcgs that the stars and
stripes will not be given up to the Forth,
and after saying that "the songs of the
nation and its flag have prodigious
moral influence" it goes on; ".Keep the

right angles"

1
This southern cross is found in many
OF the designs, and 1t ranks with the
| palmetto tree and the lone star as q
| prominent figure. Some of the ladies
designs are very curious, and some are
made of different colors of silk and satin
neatly stitched together and with little
stars sewcd upon them. In some cases
the designers had not the paints TO work
with, and they have made their designs
of different pieces of .colored paper cut
into shape and pasted together. Here
the red, white and blue predominates,
ami the stripes and stars in nearly every
case permit the addition of new emblems
for the new states as they came in, One
of the ladies' flags is eighteen inches
long, and it consists of three series of
two stripes of red, white and red above,
and below broad stripe of blue, upon
which are sewed seven white stars.
Here is picture of design Al, which
was sent to jefferson Davis from
Coffeeville, Ala, but print cannot paint
the wrath with which the colors seem to
swear at each other. The design is large
enough to cover n good sized library
table. 1t is made of heavy drawing
paper, and is done in crayon. One part
of the ground is blue and the other part
is dirty yellow. On the broad, blue
part, which is supposed TO be attached to
the pole, a big black eye is painted and
around this, in the shape of crescent,
which faces the front of the flag, are
seven white stars. From the eye eight
white stripes so outward, running from
the blue into the yellow and there losing
themselves. The letter which was sent
with this design is well written. 1t is
dated Feb. %, 1861, and it is addressed
to "Gen. Jefferson Davis" The first
paragraph prays for the prosperity of
the Confederacy, and the remainder of
the letter is taken up with n description
of the flag. 1t reads:
Being q true southerner, have taken the lib
erty to send to your care q miniature flag, the
emblem of which would like to sec adopted by
our provisional congress rs the ensign of our gov
eminent. The emblems, as seen on the dag, were
taken from the last scene Of the aurora borealis
of the 18th Of September 1859 Cat night.
The eye Is a design of my own and may repre-
sent, first, the president watching over the nation
for the good OF the people. and secondly, the all
tons have their existence. You can have the
flag bordered with, whatever color suits your
fancy. Very respectfully, your eeryant,

YELLoW-FEvER- MICROBES.

How the Deadly Germs Multiply in tho
| Veins of n Victim.
| A yellow-iever microbo has tho APP
pearauce OF three joiuts OF sugar cane.
I got them from Washington in glass
tube that somewhat rescmbled n gourd.
says well-known doctor. The tiny
microbes are placed in the big end,
but by looking at it You could never
tell there was any thing but air in it.
The small end is scaled up and tho
microbes are in there, though appsr-
entity dead, Some microbes live in
such places for twenty years. We will
suppose, now, that we want 10 look ut
some OF Them under the microscope.
Upon the little glass side we put a
drop OF golatine of the consistency that
will not run. We take cambria
needle, and after heating it to destroy
all microbes that may be in The air, wo
quickly break the seal OF the glass
tube and insert the needle, drawing 1t
out quickly and rescaling the neck Of
the tube. We insert the needle in tho
drop of gelatine on the side and quick
ly put on the little cover to shut out
such germs OF microbes that may be
floating about in the air. Then we
place the slide in the microscope.
In forty-fve minutes the microbes
have fully aroused from their Rip Van
Wrinkle slocp and now you sec what
curious things they are. AS | said
before, they resemble throc joints of
sugar cane, but tho joints are not
straight, but at opposite angles Take
this fellow, for instance, and you see n
joint drop oil. leaving him with two
joints. Presently another joint joins
on the dropped joint, and by this timo
n third appears on number one. Now
look ut number two and there is a
third joint. Now a joint drops from
number one, and by the time it gains
another joint number two drops a
joint, and this, with the joint from
number two join together, and there
is microbe number three. Another
joint grows on numbers one md two,
and one drops from number three, and
these. joining together, make microbo
number four, and so they go on until
tho little drop of gelatine is work.
ing, seething mass OF microbes.
Now, those microbes arein the blood
of yellow-fever patient, and there is
whore they live. They get in blood
corpuscle, and cat out all the red part,
as darlfey eats out the red meat of II
watermelon, and the blood is then
drop Of clear fluid. To give you an
idea OF how many you can crowd into
a corpusclc OF blood let me say il takes
5000 corpuscles to make an inch.
Well, you can string just 10000 mi
crobcs across the diameter of cor
pusclo, consequently you can guess
billions after billions OF microbes in
drop of blood. The theory is that
these microbes eat up ones blood SO
fast as to take it away from him In
very short time. Some men can stand !
the letting OF more blood than others,
and consequently some mon recover
from the yellow fever. Herald OF

Two hours afterward the ladies OF
Montgomery had made the first Confed-
crate flag. 1t was of merino, and was
gomery and loudly cheered. The stars
and bars were not, however, n SUCCESS rs
a battle flag Gen. Joe Johnston SAYS
that it was too much like the Stars and
Stripes, and that the two could not be
distinguished from each other in the
fighting. Gen. Beauregard says that
after the battle of Bull Run many per-
sons of both armies thought that the
other side had put up the enemies flag
as decoy, and after this Johnston and
Beauregard decided to adopt a new battle
flag. Johnston ut first wanted each reg
imeht to use its state colors, but this was
found impracticable and another flag
was chosen. The design as sottled upon
by Johnston and Beauregard became the
battle flag of the Confederacy. and 1t
was afterward adopted as such by the
Confederate congress at Richmond.
This flag is known as the southern
cross. 1t had red field with two wide
blue bars running diagonally from one
corner to the other, and on these bars
were white or gold stars equal in num-
Der to the states of the Confederacy.
This was really the flag of the Confeder-
acy, and 1t has more right to the name
than the stars and bars. a design SINH
lar to it was presented to the Mont
gomery convention by William Porcher
Miles, and there is ruch design in this
old scrap book. The stars and bars,
however, got the preference. they be-
came known the country 0vcr no the
Confederate flag, and lhcy will probably

were sent to the committee on flags
when the provisional congress first met
at Montgomery, and they came from
every state in the south. Onlya few of
them are preserved in Washington, and
n member of the Confederate flag COM
mittee says that the number of designs
received ran high into the thousands,
and that they filled a box as big as piano
top. These were captured at Richmond
with the other Confederate archives,
and specimens of them have been Sc
lected and pasted in this old scrap book.
This book was originally volume of
Confederate treasury blanks, and one
may see the promises to pay" here and
there peeping out from under the many
colored flags which ornament its
leaves. 1t is ragged volume, IS inches
long, 10 inches wide, and as thick as a
mans fist.
One hundred and twenty-nine designs
for Confederate flag are pasted within
it, and these are of all sizes, shapes and
colors. Some are no larger than visit
ing card, others are the size of this news
paper, and several are of the full size of
the ordinary regimental flag. The last
are made of cloth and the coloring upon
them is of the brightest paint. The de-
sign here given with rattlesnake upon
it is as large as the sheet of a baby's
crib, and it looks as though it might have
been made of some such material. Its
thirteen stripes are of red and white, and
upon them are seven red stars and n
crimson crescent moon. This rattle
snake has n skin made up of black and
yellow diamond spots, and there was
motto: Don't tread ON met is certain
death" This design was sent to Hon.
Robert Toombs, and in the letter accom-
panying 1t the writer says: THE white
stripes represent seven states of the south,
and the rcd ones show that if they are |
they will fight for blood. The
represents the Confederacy.
If you come near him he will sing out |
with his rattle; if you do rot leave, and |
dare TO tread upon him, it is certain
death"
