The First Rebel Flag.
Nav York Sun

The first Confederate flag ever flung to
the breeze on the Mississippi was raised by
Captain J. f. Jack He is guest at Sara
toga and gives an interesting account of
the incident and of his eventful life. He
says:
Il was born IN 1880 in Ohio. In lS47
dritted down to New Orleans, and there
without friends or money, began the bat
tie of life. Shortly afterward | joined a
circus and travelled with it on the road.
Then we wentup and down the Mississippi
river on floating palace, touching at
towns along the shore and giving enter
tainments This palace was 200 feet long,
so feet wide and would seat 1000 people.
ran this boat for our company until 1859,
when took charge of the Banjo, small
er craft.
"On this boat had number of French
Zouaves who gave musket drills. AS soon
as Fort Sumter was fired upon ] ran the
craft up to Vicksburg and sold out every
thing, even to the muskets, which were
purchased by the Confederates. Then
come north and remained few days in
New York, but as my feelings and inter-
ests were all with the southern people,
returned to New Orleans, purchased a
passenger boat called the Charm, and pro-
ceeded up the river. Arriving at Vicks-
burg met the Prince, small steamer in
command of Captain Reeves, coming
down. 1t was while we were moored at
Vicksburg that hoisted the Confederate
flag. You see at that time every one was
making decided stand for one side or
the other, and one day Captain Reeves
came aboard the Charm. He had Con-
federate flag in his hand. and he said to
me: Captain Jack, these are the colors
we are sailing under now | said, All
right, and taking the flag nailed it on a
long pole and lashed the pole to the main
mast.
but, understand me, if it were to be
done once again, would not do it. In
fact, no colors would go to the top of my
IN ainmast except the stars and stripes.
After that continued to run steamboats,
in southern waters until 1875, when my
health failed, and since that time, with
grip in one hand and pocket-book in the
other, explored the world, and especially
the United States, which to my mind
is the greatest country on top of God
earth | have lived at various times in
eighty-seven cities of the Union. This is
my first visit to Saratoga. As a general
thing my summers are spent in Newport.

Mending "A Glove.

Every one who has attempted the tasl
knows that it requires a particularly def
touch to mend a rent in a glove success
fully. In the picture of Hilda the heroine
of the marble Faun, engaged in mend
ing her gloves, Hawthorne draws attention
to the grace of this peculiarly feminine
task. The best gove-menders in the
world, unfortunately for this sci iment
are men, professional glove-sewers, who
handle the kid ard needle with methodica
dexterity. Arp is simple matter t.
them; it is in rnending tear in the kio
that shey show their skill The color Of
glove is carefully matched in silk taffeta
or any silk goods of firm, light quality, and
in sewing silk. A piece of the silk is run
on the inside cal efully under the rent so as
to bring the edges together but not so as tc
show on the outside Of the glove, and the
edges of the kid are then drawn together
by almost invisible stitches, as a cloth
member mends cloth.
Properly rubbed with the finger, the rent
hardly shows if it is not in a place where
the stitches are stretched when the glove
is worn. Even this the silk beneath tends
to prevent. After little perseverance any
one can catch up this art of glove-mendiDe
and learn to do the work with something
of the skill of an expert. A rip in tht
stitching even may be stayed with bill
of silk, where it is caused by a specia
strain, and may be kept in this way from
breaking out again

French engineers naturally require but lit
tie attention when once the flow of water

it is often quite another case;
with a mouth at least a yard square

it is natural that they shonld frequently
become choked with debris and sand, and
then it is that the Arab owning such a
well sends for divers; these are Rouaras

sect, having special prayers and charms
for use before descending well; one of
these men will remain between three AMI
four minutes in the well, often over one

in his little basket few handfuls of the
sand or stones obstructing the flow of wa
ter. Date growing is beginning to at
tract attention in Algeria, where at the

of may be seen the results of years OF

President d. H. Wheeler, of Allegheny
College, Meadville, Pa, in his baccalareate
sermon said:
1--WE have outlived the age of admira-
tons for sheer physical strength. Even
our athlete must be skilled and stout of
heart We like him best with the finer
atmosphere of college, and the theory
at least, that he is student, enveloping
his strength. We realize the uplifting
power to all the decencies and MOI alities
which give perfume an0 SAVIOR to life. Do
we realize as we ought that we do really
require some saintiness in our heroes,
some self ablegation, some devotion to the
unseen, some fragrance blown out Of the
gardens of the Lord into the heart of the
good man? If the wording sees it not
yet does the wise man see it and find a
steadfast rule of the arithmetic of life in
the Saviour's law, that the good treasures
come out of the heart of good man. And
this man-let me define him anew-as a
man striving to be better than he is, reach
ing out for the best in his range Of effort,
trying to build on rock, with rock, house
for himself which no elemental storms and
no passions can shake That man is the
coming man, the perfect man, the victori-
Gus man. wherever and however he is now
abased and known he is Gods choice, and
he will rule this lower world and the king
doms of eternity are his, as the younger
brother Of Jesus Christ.
=. This order of Providence which brings
to naught wisdom by unwisdom, power by
weakness, and things which are by things
which are not, seems tome to find a small
punctuation mark in the list of Professor
Huxley's sayings. This time he lectures
pair of English bishops for rashly con.
ceding the untenableness of the supernat-
ural. lie assures them that without let
OF hindraGce from science they may be-
lieve in miracles, Providence and answers
to prayers. Even the coolest scientist must
realize that the despised worlds of spiritu-
al life and energy loom vast and stately
through our PHILOSOPHERS. We begin to
see the kinship of the feeblest struggle foi
better with the holiest prayer, the higher
nature of man-that necessary basis OF
the Christian college--and the Christian
culture of our higher nature must pre-
vail over the the things that were. while
we move from Ignorance to more perfect
wisdom, from the vanities of life TO its
enduring conquests.
To-day's fool is to-morrow's oracle.
This man Paul has the ear of the world.
His homeless Master lives in the Utmost
heart of the unchanged world To be like
that master is the noblest enthusiasm; to
surrender the wide space of this world for
an inch of eternity is the profoundest
wisdom"

A parting word on the subject. Fear is
something horseman should never ex-
h,bit in his couuntenance or voice, as the
horse is close observer and soon learns
to take advantage of such Indications to
become careless of control, if not indeed
aggressive. Let your lessons be thorough,
but not very long. Be gentle and patient
with the colt, but make the willful stub
born horse feel the full extent CT your
power until he submits.
The way to educate horse not to be
afraid of things is to get him used to
them by bringing him into frequent con-
tact with them. If the horse is afraid of
the repor. of firearms, only just throw him
down and fire off a pis..o! over him.
Whenever he makes motion to get up
fire off the pistol again. This can be re-
peated, and lesson should last thirty or
forty minutes. The next day give him
another lesson, ana about three days the
horse will pay no attention to the dis
charge of the firearms

Oasis Making in the Sahara.

Some few years ago the railway system
In eastern Algeria was extended south
through the gorge of Ell kantara to biskra,
the first and perhaps the finest of the GASES

twelve years since few French gentle
men, interested in the development of the
country, conceived the idea of installing
series Of artesian wells. and of increasing
by improved irrigation the produce, of
of the already existing oases,l as well as
some of the new plantations for systematic
cultivation. In spite of many obstacles
the project was steadily pursued, and the

AIRY OF THE PIPE.
Now Being Celebrated at Leipsic-Recol-
lectiOns and Reflections Called Up.

At Laipsic they are now celebrating the
centensrp f tn pipe and the Petite Presse
seizes upon the occasion to give few notes
upon the history of the use of tobacco in
Europe. which will be interesting to
smokers and their enemies.
Snuff. it appears, was the first form in
which tobacco was used in France, and the
pipe didn't make its appearance until the
reign of Louis XIV. At that time the
French government began to distribute
pipes among the soldiers: Jean Bart was
an inveterate smoker and the story goes
that some Bourbon princesses used to
smoke pipes. There was very little smok-
ing in Europe in the eighteenth century
No great man of that time was smoker
During the French revolution the pipe was
comparatively unknown. Neither Robes
pierre nor Danton, nor any one OF the
leaders of that period, was smoker. But
when Napoleon's army returned from
Egypt the pipe became fashionable. Cen
eral Lassalle usec to lead his cavalry
charges with a pipe in his mouth and
d'Oudinot was the possessor of splendid
meerschaum, which was presented to him
by Napoleon, and was ornamented with
stones to the value of 1880. General
Moreau, when his legs were about to be
amputated, called for his pipe, that he
might smoke it during the operation; but
how he enjoyed it history does not state.
The restoration brought about reaction
against the pipe, and it was not until 1880
that it regained popularity that it has
preserved up to the present time. Except
perhaps in England the pipe is consider
ed out of place ON the street; but at
home it is just the thing in all sorts of So
ciety, and it is smoked by many great
men, including Bismarck.
French poets have frequently compared
a man s existence to lighted pipe, whose
contents pass off in smoke and ashes. In
an old volume of the eighteenth century,
entitled Moral de Guerard, there is an
engraving representing young man smok-
ing clay pipe, ami the legend calls him
the Universal Portrait. This is follow
ed by queer old piece Of poetry compar-
ing everybody to lighted pipe.
