Anefica mud Americans Criticised by the
bright Frsnchmun.

absurd things; all brightly, He has
proved himself an apt reporter, with a
terse styloand considerable imagina-
tion. 1.-The made fun OF the American
newspaper, he pays It the compliment
Of adopting its style and manner.
Here are some OF his crisp epigrams.
that give IN q nutshell good idea Of
the whole book:
Jonathan passes his life In admira-
tion OF all that is American. He can
not get over 1t.
The American men are generally
thin. Their faces glow with intelli-
gence and energy. and IN this mainly
consists their handsomcness.

Boston ladies seem to be an excep-
zion TO the general rule. They are a
great deal more English in style es-
chew show and glitter and wear dia-
monds very sparingly, even in the
evening.
The American may be eccentric or
what you will, but he is never monot-
Dnous.
In good American houses the cook
ing is excellent; you will not find bet

From the age OF eighteen the Ameri-
can girl is allowed almost every lib

travel alone, and go to concerts and
even to the theaters unattended by

That passion for rich marriages
which burns in the hearts of so many
young American women, often leads
them TO disastrous results.

gerous assertion: II seems to me that
the American woman does not render

he renders to her. II love could spring
from gratitude Jonathan would be the

did other equally necessary work, which in
the North was done by white men who
might otherwise have been in the ranks.
O. The Southern people were great deal
nearer unit in support of the rebellion
than the people of the North were in sup
port of the war for its suppression. The
rebels had nothing like the amount Of trou-
bic with the Union element that the Gov
eminent had with the Copperheads-
the Knights of the Golden Circle, the Sons
of Liberty, the Illinii, the New York draft
riots and similar anti-war disturbances.
3. 1t is not true that the Border States
sent more men into the Union army than
into the rebel camps. There are no figures
to show how many of their young men
went South" but it is pretty sure they all
aren't Somewhere, and the rolls of the Union
army will show that not half of the availa-
able military strength enlisted there. For
example, Kentucky had but 6.1 per cent of
her population in the Union army, where
Illinois had ISL; Indiana and Minnesota,
14.5, and Kansas, 1873. There were, beyond
doubt, as many Kentuckians bearing arms
as Illinoisans, Indianians and Kansans. This
being true, then there must have been from
twice to three times as many under the
Stars and Bars as under the s@rs and
Stripes.
Missouri had go of her population in the
Union army, the better showing being on
account of the compulsory enrolment adopt
ed by our commanders there to keep the
rebel-inclined out Of mischief Maryland
had but 7.3 of her population in the Union
army. All these percentages are swelIed by
the large numbers of negro troops furnished
no less than IS of these colored regiments
having been organized in the Border States.
The rebels conscripted every part of the
Border States that they could reach as re-
lentlessly as they did the rest of the so-called
Southern Confederacy, and forced every
available man that they could lay their
hands on to carry musket With more
than 100000 white males to draw from,
they must have found and pressed into the
service, with their merciless CONSUMPTION,
fully 100000 men and boys capable of
bearing arms. On the other hand, the high
est number of Union soldiers present for
duty during the war was 698,s03.
1t is thus easy to demonstrate that the
talk about being crushed by overwhelming
numbers" is arrant nonsense. The rebels
were conquered by the superior persistence,
harder fighting, better management greater
determination and larger resources of the
Union men, and that is all there is of it.

BY J. H. WHITNEY.

The old flag is faded and folded away,
No longer the echoing strain
OF the bugIe is calling at break OF the day,
Into line or to battle again;
But the standard is cleaning in letters Of gold,
With luster that never can fade,
And the bugie re- echoes the story Of old
The history heroes have made.
Enshrine the old Standard disturb.not star
OF its folds, bullet-riddied and red,
For its glory we see m the battle afar
Shining over the patriot dead.
And to-day we return to the field and the fray
Where ioated the flag to the sky
And sing of the bearer who bore it away
In the front of the battle to die.
On the banks of the Neuse, in the forest, see
In the enemy's fortified line,
building, unsightIy, yet grander to me
Than imperial palaces fine;
For over their works in the battles red glow,
My hero marched forward alones
And planted the standard high over the foe
And made the old building his throne.
The columns that followed this eonquering king
Asked no other order or sigu,
But charged with cheer that forever shall ring,
And swept through the enemy's line.
You may sing if you win. of your brave Brisadier
And loud of his bravery brag
But the soldier deserving the old battle-cheer
Is the Sergeant who carried the nag.
Malvern Hill we behold in the glare Of the guns,
All the ield with the battle Gglow,
And the old Eighty-third- Pennsylvania sons
Standing firm in the face Of the foe.
Who is holding the colors9 It's only boy,

Who spFana f.om the column. with soIdierly Joy,
Bearing upward the Red, White and Blue.
Now, shattered and broken. It flies from bis hold
Failing over the dying and dead;
But graspng the fragment just under the fold,
He waves It high over his head!
And this banner lac bore with the tendercst care,
Through half score batilcs-and fell

For the treasure ne guarded 50 well.
