has granted concession to francisco Arroyo Alcaraz for the erection and esplotation of two bridges Of the Ameca river in the state Of Jalisco, one at the town at Ameca and the other near the Hacienda of Buena- vista The maximum tolls that may be charged for the use Of the bridges are fixed by the concession.
 General Luis Leon, who died in the City of Mexico was veteran in the Mexican army and fought in the Texas campaigr ia ls36 and he was also en- gagged in many other famous battles. General Loon died at the age of S7 and was entered at the Dolores ceme- tery. His remains were escorted as far as the cemetery by an army brigade.
 Two Republics: Orders have been issued by the secretary of war and mari3e, with the appreciation of the president, for the departure of the commission appointed to go to Europe to receive the new Mondragon car. bine, destined for the use Of the Mexi- eau army. The carblne is the inyen- tion of Col. Manuel Mondragon, who will head the committee, aud Is being made at one Of the principal armories of Europe.
 Fernando Huldobro, representing the land.owning inhabitants of the municipality Of Tlaltizapam. district Of Jolutls, state of Morelos, has ob- ,alned from the department of en- couragement a concession whereby said inhabitants are empowered to d vert from the Verde or Tlaltizapam river, at point between three and four kilometers above the ford of Te- mIlpa, as much as one thousand litres Of water per second for irrigation purposes. The concession carries the usual privileges and obligations.
 A recent press telegram from the City of Mexico says; "The Mexican government, by the executive action of President Diaz, having forfeited all the railway concessions held by the Mexican National Construction com psny, at the office of the company in this city John Pratt, the secretary, said in an interview: The conces- slons which have been forfeited were for lines of road which have not been built within the time allotted under the terms of the grant. The con- struction company now owns and operates a road between the port of Manzanillo, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, and Colims, the capital Of ', the state of Colima. It also owns piece of road near Zacatecas, in the state of that name. Concessions were given for road connecting these cwo bits of track and for another branch line. As they were never built, the grants expire by limitation"
 An important move was made last month by the Postal Telegraph Cable company in extending It's operations to Mexico. Contracts were signed in New York with the Mexican Central and Mexican National railroads giving the Postal company strong foothold in Mexico, and large share of the business from and to that coun- try. Heretofore In sending messages from Mexico to points in the United States it has been necessary to trans nit them in a roundabout way. They were first sent to Vera Cruz, thence oy cable to Galveston, and thence overland to their destination.

The First American Flag.

1t has been impossible to decide with
certainty who designed the American
flag as first adopted by congress, but
the best recorded evidence gives part
Of the credit Of designing it and all the
credit of making it to Mrs. John Ross,
an, upholsterer, who resided on Arch
street. Philadelphia. Her descendants
assert that a committee of congress, ac-
companied by Gen. Washington, who
was in Philadelphia in June, 1875, called
upon Mrs. Ross, and engaged her to-
make the flag from a rough drawing.
This drawing was, at her suggestion,
redrawn by Gen. Washington with a
pencil, in her back parlor, and the flag
thus designed was adopted by congress.
f 81. Although the resolution estab lishing
the hhg was not officially promulg
BY the secretary of congress until Sep
TENDER :, 17T7, it seems well authen-
ticated that the regulation stars and
stripes was carried at the: battle Of tho

The Love OF Country.

There are not wanting those who
sheer at love of country as narrow and
provincial. But we think it will be
found, as a rule, that the man who has
no love for his own country and his
own people, as distinguished from all
the world, does not entertain very much
regard for humanity in general. True
patriotisn-not the spurious kind that
says: ''Thou shalt love thy neighbor
and hate thine enemy" but that which
upholds, defends and makes much of
home and country-promotes rather
than diminishes worldwide sympa-
thies. There are no more devoted pa
triots than the consecrated American
missionaries who spend their lives in
service for foreign lands. Our young
people should be instructed to associate
their celebration of Independence day
with love of country, and to learn les
sons of patriotism from those who on
this day pledged their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor to wrest
the nation from a foreign yoke. The
independence thus nobly won is a
precious inheritance, they should be
taught, because it has permitted the de-
velopment on American soil of institu-
tons which have blessed not us alone,
but all the world besides.--N. Y. Ex-
aminer

suffered much, if any, through the war.
At last the young officer pushed aside
his plate and leaned back in his chair.
I'm sorry I cannot offer you a des-
sert as fine as you enjoy in the old-time
homes of New York." said the girl, apol-
ogetically. '"Truth to tell, Capt. Lee,
we must put up with just what we can
get in the country in war times and
"of course, begging pardon, Miss
Betty,' broke in the officer. ''Your
dessert, I am sure, will be delightful
as your dinner has been, and am dis
posed to praise it beforehand
At this moment Miss Betty Logan
waved her hand to Polly, who stood at
the door leading into the kitchen.
Our guest is ready for the dessert,
Polly. You may bring it on
A deeper crimson came to the maids
cheeks as she caught the subtle mean
ing OF the words so artly spoken by
Betty and in another moment she left
the room, closing the door behind her.
Behold the dessert, Capt. Lee!" ex-
claimed Betty, when the door opened
moment afterward, and the British Of
ficer staggered from the chair as his
gaze fell upon three men dressed in
continental uniform, each of whom COW
cred him with pistol.
"What's this, miss?" he cried s'What
treachery is afoot under your roof?"
ut is simply the fortunes of war,
Capt. Lee. You are prisoner subject
to exchange for another prisoner of
equal rank. These gentlemen consti-
tute the only dessert 1 have to offer,
with profuse apologies
At first Capt. Lee thought of resist
ance. but sober second thought came
to the rescue and in a little while he
was in the hands of the patriots.
"Your trick will fall short of it's de-
sign, my little rebel" he exclaimed.
'Capt. James shall not be exchanged for
Capt. Lee. I promise you that
Betty made no reply and her late
guest was hustled from the premises
and escorted to the nearest American
camp where he was turned over to the
commander thereof.
Several weeks interviewed when one
evening young soldier rode up to the
Logan home and sprang lightly to the
ground.
He was met at the steps of the trel-
Used porch by young girl whose eyes

"They tell me that owe my exchange

he gave in at last and here I am
II don't know whether Capt. Lee will

laugh that followed told how happy was
the Fair Rebel of the Neutral Ground.

The conversation now drifted to
other subjects, and Capt Lee was most
pleasantly entertained by his fair host
ess. - ~' ;cG liz
He knew. that Betty Logan was in
tensely loyal to the cause of the col
onies; but out of respect for her APP
parent helplessness her property had
not been disturbed, though on several
occasions several spies had been
tracked to it. =!
Her only servants were Peter and a
housemaid as loyal as her mistress, and
with these Betty, the fair rebel, in
habited the little home near the Hud-
son in almost open defiance of the sol
diers of the king.
Fond of music, Capt. Lee importuned
his hostess for song, and, rising, Betty
swept to the instrument in one corner
OF the cozy parlor.
'What are your favorites, captain?"
she asked, with a sly look over her
shoulder
'Washington's Retreat for one,"
| said the officer with a light laugh as he
mentioned song at that time popular
in royalist circles in New York.
The cheeks of Betty Logan flushed
and her fingers swept the ivory keys as
if impelled by magic.
"You don't sing that. I suppose" con-
tinued the captain.
81 am here to entertain you and
'Washington's Retreat shall be given
according to request"
In another moment the melodious
voice of the girl seemed to fill the house
as she sang the piece which had re-
! ceived encore after encore in the the
alters wherever the British held sway.
Capt. Lee listened like one entranced
and his gaze followed her every move
| ment like one enraptured.
"Perhaps you have heard this" said
Betty, as the last note died away, and
forthwith she started up with rollick-
ing cowboy air such as the wild ma
! RAIDERS of the Neutral Ground were
wont to sing when out on their forays.
It was full of the most rebellious
sentiment, and some of it's pointed al

from Capt. Lees face.
| But he was not in a position to grum-
BILE, for had not Betty sang real royal

The imprisonment of Capt. James
would naturally interfere with the
pleasures of the coming day., but when
the morning of the Fourth came there
were no traces of regret on the fair
rebels face. =. ~
At ten o'clock Peter, who had been
sent to certain point from which the
road leading to New York was visible
for long distance, came back with
broad grin on his face.
II was thinking, Miss Betty, what
nice thing>it would be if we could just
contrive to exchange Capt. Nolan for
Capt. Lee"
The girl seemed to start.
''What nonsense, Peter!" she ex-
claimed. ''Whatever put that idea into
your head?"
1T just walked in,'' smiled the man.
''You see, they're equal in rank and"
Captains BOTH" broke in the girl,
looking across the porch from the open
door. "These Utopian schemes don't
always come out successful
every well, just give it for what it
is WORTH and Peter bowed himself out
of the girls presence, and Betty was
alone again.
"What a good guesser Peter ISL she
smiled to herself. ''Surely I have not
betrayed myself, and no one, I hope,
has let the cat out of the bag. I'll just
give Peter credit for good guessing,
that's ALL" and she went to her bou-
doir to dress for the officers reception.
The old-fashioned clock in the wide
hallway was striking II when hand
some young officer in the somewhat
fashy uniform of the Royal Dragons,
one of the crack regiments in the kings
service, drew rein in front of the house
and dismounted.
His riding boots were polished to per-
lection and he had brushed from them
the few fecks of mud they had encoun-
tered on the way up. He looked as
suringly at the house, with its pretty
flower beds on the lawn and the trel-
Used porch, upon which stood a rock
ing-chair, Miss Betty's favorite seat.
Throwing the lines over post, to await
Peters attention, the young captain
sauntered towards the house, and Just
as he mounted the steps vision of love-
illness appeared.
Miss Betty was simply but tastefully
dressed and looked very pretty thus ar
rayed.
She smiled cordial welcome to the

look.

reply. ''The author of that doggerel
will stretch hemp one of these days"
when you catch the hare, captain,

way, the author of that song is doing
some good in the ranks just now, and
Washington has made him lieutenant

''Sir Henry Clinton might break the
rule in the bard's case," was the quick
rejoinder, and then Betty ran her fin
gers over the keys again and sang
love ditty which put her guest in the
best of humor.
The ballad ended. Betty logan ex-
cused herself and left the parlor.
