Legend of "The Bloody Shirt"
Hickory GROVE, PRINCE WILLIAM CO., VA
February 9, 1891.

February 9, 1881. }
To he Editor of he Dispatch:
Communications in several recent issues
of your paper, which / have accidentally
seen indicate that one or more OF your
correspondents are interested in the origin
of the phrase "bloody. shirt. l think L
know something about 1t, and II 1t Is Cd
jected that what l am about 20 ten Is
that the legend has been handed down
from generation to generation OF the de-
scendauts of some of the actors, and TO
them, at least, has the authority OF authen-
tic history.
The Scotch Highlanders were a proud.
passionate. and vindctiye people. Their
auarrels usually had bloody issue, and
frequently lasted as long as the name and
race of the belligerents. Two rival clans,
the Mc(iregors and the Colquoons, were at
deadly feud, and the customary ceremony
of hostility and defiance had been inter-
changed between them. The Colquoons
planned night forage to surprise their
enemies. Apprised of the scheme by spy,
the McGregors laid an ambush, ana the
result was the Colquoons were slaughtered
almost TO fighting mau. James the FIRST
of England and Sixth of Scotland about
that time visited the land of his birth,
One of his many peculiarltles was an IN;
| SIiDcIlNb anu unCOHNAOAA0bAO hCA'N@
blood. supposed to have been caused
by the circumstance of the murder
| OF David Bizzio. which occurred In
the presence Of James's mother a
few months before his birth. However
mysterious such influences may be, the
evidence that instances of similar charac-
ter have not seldom occurred is indlsputa-
| bic. Sixty widows of the slain Colquoons
marched in procession at 1nverary before
the King, each with her husbands BLOODY
sank or shirt. elevated on q pole waiting
the Coronach, and crying aloud for JUS
| tice, OF what in those days was about the
same thing, vengeance. King James was
so much Mortified and appalled, at the sight
that without waiting to, learn the facts o.
tbe case he pronounced sentence of out
lawry against the clan McGregor, which
edict was never formally revoked, and after
a long, cruel, and bloody struggle resulted
in their destruction, and hence the tern
waving the blood shirt"

A Lighthouse by the Sea-
Charles W. Fish in Clippsr.l

The sands we're trod by dainty feeL
And laved by waters blue;
The clear sun shone on toilets brtghL
The moon on lovers true;
Far out at sea the ships sailed by
A picture fair 10 SEQ
At the haroor's mouth, on a point OF rocks
Stood a lighthouse by the sea-
There lived a maiden fair OF face
And form whom adore.
In a cottage meath trees OF green
Along tho sea- beat shore.
with Cupid's aid I won the maid
OF face 80 dear TO me,
And now live with her love
In lighthouse by tho sea.
One day n suow-white tent was raised
Close 90 the oceans spray.
NY wife and /, among the few
Who saw the show that days
Felt sorry for the actors all,
SO sad they seemed to be,
While strafning every nerve 70 please
A lighthouse By the sea.

BE COULD ENJOY A JOKE.

The following will show somewhat the
dry humor of General Lee, who, though
always wearing a grave countenance, yet
could enjoy Joke:
At time when the opposing armies were
living on the banks of the Rappahannock
(Which was greatly swollen by excessive
fain), the one on the south bank, the other
Immediately opposite on the north bank,
General Jackson was expected to come up
in the rear Of the enemy, and General Lee
was very anxious TO communicate with him.
Mr.. Traynham had just come of from
heavy duty he was tired and worn out
and had hoped TO get little rest, but an
order came from General Lee for him.
"Mr. Traynham," said the General, II
know you have had heavy duty; but wish
TO send dispatch To General jackson, and
believe you will carry it.
"Yes, General, / am tired, but i am
ready to do anything in my power which
you may wis.," replied Traynham.
"Mr TraYnham, the river is very much
swollen and dangerous TO cross, as you
know, and those people (the northern
armyj are on the other bank, and, I pre-
sumo, General Jackson is behind them. IL
ia a very dangerous undertaking. but l
know of no one better able to accomplish
it than you. You must tell General jack
son to send his reply by one of his own
cOuFleIb, tuQ yOu Can tbch ASnt. LhhS oOAnO
men 10 the riyer-bank to see that you get
over safely"
Eyes, General" replied Mr.. Traynhar.
az he turned 10 execute the order.
Traynham had strong, active horse,
and entering the river much above where
he wished to land, swan over safely and
passing around the enemy reached General
