Wednesday the season for shoot
ing quail closed, although trapping
ia allowed by owners of property
on their own premises until Febru-

season has been the largest known
in years, and some phenomenally
large bags were made. The birds
were not found in certain sections
only, but there was good shooting
in almost every section. The mild
winter had one bad effect. There
was not enough cold weather to
thoroughly clean out the UNDER

Prisons of the Late War,

Prisons of the Late War.
The following is an extract from
the last article written by jefferson
Davis:
"It must be conceded that the
Northern States are more general
ly healthy that the Southern. Then,
With equal means and care in pro.
v,dirg for the prisoners, i. follows
that the rate Of mortality should
have been as the salubrity of the
country. 1t may be presumed that
all were "on duty" when captured,
and the average of the wounded
among the prisoners about the
same; therefore, that all were in a
condition to be benefited by rest
and proper treatment in a favorable
locality. What was the result?
According to the reports of the
United States War Department,
the relative number of prisoners
and deaths were, in round mum.
bers
United States prisoners held by
the eConfederacy. 20, 900
Confederate prisoners held by
the United States. ..... .220, geo
United States prisoners died In
Confederate hands. ......... 22,0O0
Confederate States prisoners
died in United States hands. 1000
From this appears that the
Confederates, with an excess of
$4,000 prisoners, had 1900 fewer
deaths. This should not have been
the case if the means of providing
for them had been equal but, in
every material respect-in food, in
clothing, In shelter, in medicine,
in surgical instruments and all
which free commerce contributes
the North had greatly the advan-
tage. Only :.one element remains
to account for the difference-care
for the defenceless; and this, in
the depths of our destitution, never
ceased, as the world will appreciate
whenever impartial history shall
render the justice which contem-
porary prejudice and passion have
denied"

The Fleet school at Mexico is to
be a building of brick with cut
stone trimmings, three stories and
basement in height. with a tower
of ninety feet near the center. The
architecture is Old English and diff
fers from the ordinary school
buildings in being more broken in
design, thus affording better light
and ventilation and giving a more
pleasing effect to the eye. The 'front.'
age is about 100 feet. The class
rooms and chapel afford accommo-

ces are to be of iron and the roof

The Acme of VaIOr.

The presentation OF an American
flag to the grammar schools of Ban
gor reminds me of a similar occur
renee which took place in Maine
village in the summer of 1868. A
company of volunteers, being about
to depart for the State capital, was
drawn upon the green to receive a
flag that had been made by the
patriotic members OF tho local sew
ing circle. The village pastor
made a sensible presentation
speech, and the banner was receiv-
ed by the captain of the company,
who handed it to the color-bearer, a
witty Irishman. Then, facing the
worthy pastor and his fair flock,
the embarrassed captain proceeded
to acknowledge the gift, as follows:
"Reverend sir and ladies: This
beautiful flag which I see before
me-"
"It's behind yez, captain" inter-
rupted the color-bearer.
(which I see behind me-"
amended the blushing officer,
"stands for something more than
the emblem of a powerful nation.
1t is beauty's tribute to valor, and
as such it is doubly dear to the
gallant hearts around me. In
thanking you for your gift, ladies,
we pledge ourselves faithfully to
defend it. At the close of the
campaign. those of US who are
spared, will bring this flag back to
you, unless it is blown to atoms by
shot from the enemy, in which
event we'll-we'll-"
SWELL bring thin back the
pole !" shouted the enthusiastic
Irishman, to the delight of the
crowd and the relief of the superior
officer.-Lewistown Journal.
