A Judah peajamin handkerchief

A rare and interesting souvenir Of the
civil war is now in the possession Of Il,
s. Merrill, a landscape artist. 1t is moth
ing more than red bandanna handker-
chief, but it has an interesting history.
Judah P. Benjamin was Louisianian
and stanch supporter of thexast cause.
The Confederate government sent him
to England on an important mission.
While in that country he had manufac-
tured one dozen red bandanna handker-
chiefs, and these upon his return he dis
tributed personally, as a memento, to
10 Confederate officers. These handker-
chiefs were of the finest india silk, one
yard square. The body is Of red, and
worked in black on its surface appeared
portraits Of Davis, Beauregard, Lee,
jackson, Morgan, Slidell and Johnston,
encircled with wreaths Of southern lau-
rel and border of ferns and cotton
plants on white ground. No two
wreaths are similar, and the workman
ship is artistic.
Mr.. Merrill 80 years ago was a pri-
vate in Company K, Fir't Wisconsin
cavalry, and during W..ln's RAID IN
April, 1865, he picked up this handkcr-
chief in the courthouse at Montgomery,
Ala. It was incased in a silken bag Of
gray and had evidently been lost by
some Confederate general in tho hasty
retreat that day The handkerchief has
been recently framed and adorns the
parlor of Mr.. Merrill's home. Minnie
