Thomas Jonathan jackson. that
was 'StonewalPs' full name, was pro-
fessor Of mathematics and artillery
practice in the Washington College Of
Lexington, and his father-in-law, DIR.
George Juncklin, was President of the
College. President Juncklin was an
uncompromising Union man, and just
before the war, when the secession
spirit ran very high, party Of students
one night raised a rebel flag over the
dome of the college. When DIR. Junck-
lin came down next morning and saw
the flag he ordered the janitor to take
it down.
"The students told the janitor that if
he lowered the flag they would kill
him, and he refused. DR.. Juncklin,
although upwards of 20 years old,
mounted to the dome, cut the halliards,
and brought the flag down. Stepping
into the balcony, he lighted match,
set fire to the flag, and, as it burned,
said in clear voice that was heard by
all below: so may all attempts to de-
stroy the Federal Union end
He was at once seized by a crowd
of the Infatuated students and citizens,
and it required all the energy OF his
son-in-law, Stonewall Jackson, and a
number of others to prevent his being
hanged on the spot. A compromise
was arranged by which he was to leave
the State. He hastily entered his fam
lily carriage, and, with whatfe effects
he could lay his hands upon readily

his friends. When he had crossed the
river he stopped the carriage and di

believe ever appeared in print"

civil engineer, when he enlisted in the
Union army in 1861 as private. Gen
eral Sherman soon perceived his value
and promoted him to his staff as aid
de-camp, position he so admirably
filled that he held the place not only
throughout the war but continued I'M
til the year 1871 one of the close as
sociates and friends Of the great gen.
eral Upon the death of his wife's
father in 1871 he resigned his position
in the regular army and devoted his
time to the settlement and care Of the
large estate left in Cincinnati. Upon
the organization of the Society of the
Army Of the Tennessee he was elected
secretary. and was re elected by unan-
imous vote every year since to that
office. Few annual gatherings Of the
society have been held at which Col.
Dayton has not taken an active part.
The coming meeting Of the society in
September was planned year or more
ago to be one of the most memorable
in its history, as under its direction
the Grant monument in Lincoln Park
was to be unveiled. The meeting will
be more than usually crowded with
sad memories. During no previous
year has death laid SO heavy hand
upon this society of citizen soldiers.
The living will unitedly say, the honest
and best have gone in the persons Of
Sherman, Nones, Strong, Fuller, and

The whole of the city is intersected

The whole of the city is intersected
capable Of accommodating vessels of
heavy tonnage. These canals divide
the city into so many islands, united by
draw-bridges, swivel-bridges, turning
bridges, and few stone bridges. 1t is
curious to walk through Rotterdam and
find everywhere these canals, with
streets on either side, and trees along
the side Of almost every street, and more
curious still to find that you can never
get away from the shipping. In the
very heart Of the city large ships are
discharging their cargoes; the masts of
the ships are seen among the houses
above the trees, beside the churches,
and all along the center Of the main
thoroughfares. Many of these ships
are built expressly for the Rhine and
Holland they are singlemasted, broad,
stout, and all highly colored and orna-
mented. The prevailing style is bright
green for the hull, with red or white
stripes, gilded poops, vanished Or high
~ polished decks and masts, while
buckets, matches, barrels and other
things, are usually painted bright
red, with white or green stripes. The
cabins are models of cleanliness and
comfort, with brightly polished win
dows, snow-white muslin curtains and
pots of flowers. Besides the novelty of
finding "a feet imprisoned in the heart
of the city," there are many things to
! attract the attention in the streets of
Rotterdam. The houses have pointed
facades; are of all shades of brick, from
the darkest red to the pinkest of pink;
whitewashed stone or wood ornaments
the facade; the windows and doors are
bordered with broad white stripes the
! window stills are generally full of flow
ers; the windows are provided with lit
tie mirrors, by means of which the in
mates can see all that takes place up or
down the street without being them
selves seen; brass plates and brass
knobs in high state of polish adorn
the doors, by the side of which bird
cages frequently hang. 1t a curious
fact that nearly all the houses are a
little out Of the upright, and lean more
or less, while sometime in q street sll
the houses will lean slightly in one d.
rection. -

in possession Of the family and IN good
condition. 1t is exceedingly doubtful
if any other piano in the country has
such stirring and romantic history.
In the year 1857 the instrument was
brought to Hale's Mills. Tenn, from
Albany, N. Y. and when placed in po-
sition and tried by Miss Alderman, the
children's teacher, she declared there
is all angel in the house" The senti.
ment was echoed by the entire family.
The piano remained, and also the an
gel, until the Hale retreat in July,
1861, when Hale's neighbors, fearing
the rebels would burn the hamlet, as
they wee threatening, waded the
river, carried it across, and concealed
it in cornfeld, where other neighbors
carried it to Mr. John Wells residence.
near the Kentucky line, where it re-
NAMED several months, and was then
removed to Albany, Clinton County,
Ky. In April, 1852, when Mrs. Hale's
experiences had taught her that she
must remove herself in order to retain
any means to live on, or even decent
clothing to cover the children, she went
to Creesboro, on the Cumberland
River, leaving the piano, minus the
legs, packed in box with clothing
and a United States flag, the one
hoisted over the mills July 4, 1861, IN
| Major Brent's house, where she had
been living. :,
The next news the Hale family
heard of the piano, clothing, flag and
cover, they had been captured by
Confederate force and taken in an OK
wagon to the town of Sparta, White
Countv, Tenn. The flag was fastened
10 horses tail, and dragged through
! the streets of the town, amid shouts
ana jeers; the clothing was disposed
of, the rubber piano-cover cut IN the
middle and worn by the Captain, and
the piano, after being fitted on pieces

THE CHILDRENS' STORY.

It's a zeal Christmas story You say must tell;
The sweet story of Jesus you each love SO well?
lis wonderful tale. and love It well, too,
And III try little children, tell it to you.
1t was long, long ago on wonderful night
That baby was born and prince of great might,
1t was not in palace, or castle or hall
But stable, dear children, kind of STALL
To the place where the baby born on that night
Three wise men were led by star wondrous bright
And these wise men of God worshiped low at his
feet;
Gold and incense, they brought Him, with myrrh,
pure and sweet.
In those days there ruled Herod, bad, wicked king
And he told these wise that some word they
must bring
How to journey to worship the little Christ-child
And with words, fair and soft, these good men he
beguiled.
Being warned in dream they well knew he'd de-
stroy
The dear Savior whose coming should bring the
world joy,
So they went to their homes in a different way;
Needed not what the jealous king Herod did say.
Then at Bethlehem city he slew every child
In his rage and his passion so cruel and wild;
But Christ Jesus was carried to dark Egypt's land,
Far away from the reach of the king cruel hand.
Now in time, to man the fair child Jesus grew,
People wondered and marvelled at all that He knew,
And when back to the land of Judeah He came
Many marvellous works there He did in Gods name.
In the waters of Jordan baptized then was He
And out from the heavens above did He see
The Lords spirit descending in shape like dove
And the people heard God loud proclaing his love.
Twas ere long Jesus went all through Gallilee s
land,
Giving hearing and sight by the touch of His hand,
And He made the dumb speak; He gave life to the
dead;
Into Gods better way many sinners He led.
But, my dear little children, hear now as tell
OF the sad cruel things that to Jesus befell
People mocked Him and Sc0u1ged Hirn-He died on
n tree.
A great sacrifice, children for you and for me.
o, He'loved the dear children, and He has above
A fair home with our Lord which he bought with
His love;
And He'll share this with ali who'll accept Him to-
day.
Shall we try to serve Jesus? I think it will pay.

LUXURY ON WHEELS.

The Illinois Central is about to in
augurate somewhat radical change
in its night service between Chicago
and St. Louis. Such change will
consist in having its cars run for the
entire distance between the two cit
les as solid through train, in place
of the present arrangement of turn
ing over its through chair and sleep
ing cars to be attached to a Van
dalia Line train at bingham. The
route will also be changed, the new
train to run through over the Cen
trails lines via Gilman, Gibson, Gin
ton, Decatur, Pana, and Vandalia,
reaching its destination over the
tracks of the Vandalia line from the
latter point, but remaining solid
train for the entire distance. This
new train will go into service Sun
day, October 18th. at 9 P. M, reach

It will be vestibule train lighted by

with compartment buffet sleeping
car, a drawing-room sleeping car, re-
clining chair-cars, and combination

constructed especially for this ser
vice, leads one to recall noted au-

This line of thought is somewhat
furthered by the names of the new
compartment sleepers; for, although
of foreign derivation. certainly Ode

suggestive to warrant the expectation
that they will be found "highly
pleasing" and that they will de

harmony would seem, however, to
warrant the expectation.
